In a bid to encourage and promote technical innovation, the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur has announced the Nina Saxena Excellence in Technology Award.

Open to all technologists who are Indian citizens, the award will be conferred every year on the Foundation Day of the college on August 18.

The award commemorates the spirit and memory of its alumna Dr Nina Saxena who passed away in 2005. The award will be funded through an endowment of the Nina Saxena Memorial fund that was collected through IIT Foundation. Nominations for best application of technological practices or a technological breakthrough will be decided on the basis of innovation and societal benefit among other criteria.
