Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar

After independence, development of the rural sector was considered the primary concern of the Government of India. In 1949, with the appointment of the Radhakrishnan University Education Commission, imparting of agricultural education through the setting up of rural universities became the focal point. Later, in 1954 an Indo-American team led by Dr. K.R. Damle, the Vice-President of ICAR, was constituted that arrived at the idea of establishing a Rural University on the land-grant pattern of USA. As a consequence a contract between the Government of India, the Technical Cooperation Mission and some land-grant universities of USA, was signed to promote agricultural education in the country. The US universities included the universities of Tennessee, the Ohio State University, the Kansas State University, The University of Illinois, the Pennsylvania State University and the University of Missouri. The task of assisting Uttar Pradesh in establishing an agricultural university was assigned to the University of Illinois which signed a contract in 1959 to establish an agricultural University in the State. Dean, H.W. Hannah, of the University of Illinois prepared a blueprint for a Rural University to be set up at the Tarai State Farm in the district Nainital, UP. In the initial stage the University of Illinois also offered the services of its scientists and teachers. Thus, in 1960, the first agricultural university of India, UP Agricultural University, came into being by an Act of legislation, UP Act XI-V of 1958. The Act was later amended under UP Universities Re-enactment and Amendment Act 1972 and the University was rechristened as Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology keeping in view the contributions of Pt. Govind Ballabh Pant, the then Chief Minister of UP. The University was dedicated to the Nation by the first Prime Minister of India Pt Jawaharlal Nehru on 17 November 1960. The G.B. Pant University is a symbol of successful partnership between India and the United States. The establishment of this university brought about a revolution in agricultural education, research and extension. It paved the way for setting up of 31 other agricultural universities in the country.

    Design of hybrid style full adder for low power and high speed application in 0.18μm CMOS technology
    (G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2018-07) Adhikari, Shivam; Tomar, Abhishek
    In the latest digital logic designs, the major challenge is power consumption. In current high speed processors, large amount of power is dissipated in the datapath. Researchers are trying to reduce this power consumption from more than a decade. By using effective topology for logic implementation and transistor count, this problem can be reduced significantly. In the present proposed work a new 18-transistor adder cell has been proposed and implemented in hybrid logic style. The proposed adder cell is compared with previous reported conventional and hybrid adder cells in 0.18μm CMOS technology and parameters like delay, average power consumption and power delay product are compared. The simulation is performed using cadence electronic design automation (EDA) tool. Power delay product of proposed adder is 1.84fJ has been obtained which is smaller than the previous proposed conventional and hybrid adders. The result shows 30% improvement in power delay product in the proposed adder. The reduction in power delay product is due to high speed XOR-XNOR circuit and small propagation path for sum and carry. The proposed adder cell shows the delay of 66.4ps, which is lesser than the previous adders. The proposed adder shows the improvement and provides a solution for the high speed digital circuits.
