Introduction

B.Voc in Renewable Energy Technology (RET) Skills program offered by School of Electrical Skills aims to impart quality education in the area of renewable energy technologies and energy conservation. With rapid depletion of fossil fuels and our over dependence on import of oil for meeting our energy demands, renewable energy is the key for our future growth and development. India is fortunate in having abundance of renewable energy resources, especially solar. This program aims to produce professionals, who are competent to design, install and maintain any capacity of solar power plant for meeting the domestic, industrial and commercial requirements. India, being at the threshold of massive solar power generation to the tune of 175 GW by 2022 and 275 GW by 2027, B. VoC in RET Skills will ensure a very fulfilling and promising career. The program also prepares the students in every aspect to become competent supervisors for execution of various tasks related with RET in any large company/ organization and also to progressively rise in the organisational hierarchy.
