Lucknow: The vision of Prof. Raj Kumar Mittal, Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU), Lucknow, for the comprehensive development of the University’s Satellite Centre at Amethi is gradually taking shape. Under the visionary guidance and patronage of Prof. Raj Kumar Mittal and the able supervision of Prof. Raj Sharan Sahi, OSD, Dr. Sandeep Kumar Nayak, Director of the BBAU Satellite Centre, successfully organised a grand technological event, ‘ROBOXTECH 2026’, on 13 October 2026. The event was organised with the active support and coordination of Dr. Aditya Khampariya, Dr. Ravindranath, Dr. Neeraj Kumar and Dr. Yogadhar Pandey.
Students of BCA and B.Sc. Information Technology programmes enthusiastically participated in the event. Demonstrating their knowledge, creativity and practical understanding of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Sensor Technology, the students presented more than 20 innovative models and projects. Over 150 students actively participated in various technical and recreational activities, including Robo War, E-Sports, Technovation, Robo Show, IoT projects and several other innovation-based competitions. The event provided an excellent platform for students to showcase their technical competencies, innovative thinking, teamwork and problem-solving abilities. It also encouraged a culture of experiential and technology-oriented learning among students.
At present, the BBAU Satellite Centre offers seven academic programmes and is making efforts to introduce additional programmes from the academic session 2027–28. These initiatives are aligned with the vision and mission of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University to promote inclusive, accessible and quality higher education. Particular emphasis is being placed on providing better educational opportunities to students belonging to marginalised, economically weaker and educationally disadvantaged communities.
Since assuming office as Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Mittal has consistently extended special attention and support to the infrastructural, administrative and academic development of the Satellite Centre. His primary focus has been on ensuring quality higher education and better learning opportunities for students from marginalised, deprived and underprivileged sections of society. Under the leadership of Prof. Raj Kumar Mittal, several significant developmental initiatives have been accomplished at the Satellite Centre within the short span of approximately one and a half years. These include the establishment of a well-equipped Computer Centre, the development of an additional Girls’ Hostel with a capacity of 64 students, the renovation and development of more than ten classrooms, and the provision of essential infrastructural facilities and basic amenities for the benefit of students and the academic community. Furthermore, Prof. Raj Kumar Mittal is making dedicated efforts to secure special financial assistance from the concerned Ministry for the comprehensive and sustainable development of the Satellite Centre. These continued efforts, supported by institutional commitment and visionary leadership, are expected to open new avenues for academic excellence, technological advancement and infrastructural expansion at the BBAU Satellite Centre, Amethi.
