About C-GENT
Establishing a premier interdisciplinary nexus for Green Energy and Nanotechnology at Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla.
The Challenge
The 21st century demands revolutionary approaches to how we harness, store, and use energy. Incremental improvements are no longer sufficient.
C-GENT addresses these existential challenges by integrating Nanotechnology—a cross-cutting domain essential for developing cleaner, smarter energy systems.
Research Focus
At the intersection of materials science and engineering, our research focuses on:
• High-efficiency Nanostructured Solar Cells
• Nano-enabled Fuel Cells & Hydrogen Storage
• Smart Nanomaterials for Environmental Monitoring
Regional Impact
We are committed to the HP Government’s goal to transform Himachal Pradesh into a Green Energy State by 2027.
We specialize in solving regional challenges, such as EV battery performance in cold climates and promoting green mobility for tourism in Shimla and Manali.
Strategic Vision
Short Term: Initiate M.Tech & Ph.D. programs, establish world-class labs, and launch skill-based diploma courses.
Long Term: Launch Dual-Degree programs, achieve global hub status, and mobilize funding.
Aligned with SDGs: Clean Energy (Goal 7) & Climate Action (Goal 13).
