The Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG) and the North East Frontier Railway (NFR) signed a Memorandum of Understanding in April this year to work on research initiatives aimed at enhancing train maintenance and operations in the region, among other things, according to an official.

According to IITG Director Prof T G Sitharam, the institute will also assist the NFR in making its stations plastic-free by developing alternative biodegradable polymer-based solutions. 

The NFR and IITG will collaborate on projects in geotechnical assistance, structure, bridges, information technology, overhead equipment, signalling and safety evaluation, Artificial Intelligence-based predictive maintenance systems, and Internet of Things design features, according to Sitharam.

The collaboration will also improve rolling stock maintenance and operations, yards, train operations, and green technology, according to the announcement. 

The two organisations would also collaborate to build world-class railway stations in areas covered by the NFR, according to the statement.

The NFR is one of the Indian Railways’ 17 railway zones, and it is in charge of operating and expanding the railway network in the Northeastern states, as well as some districts in Bihar and West Bengal.
