SJVN Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Technology Patna (IIT Patna) to use advanced geological models in SJVN’s tunnelling projects, thus significantly reducing time and cost overruns.
One of the key outcomes of this partnership will be the development of predictive analytics algorithms. These algorithms, leveraging integrated geotechnical data, will forecast potential risks and provide early warning systems specifically tailored for tunnelling projects. Such proactive measures are expected to substantially mitigate time and cost overruns during project execution.
Chairperson & Managing Director, SJVN, Smt. Geeta Kapur said that the primary focus of the MoU is to develop cutting-edge methodologies which integrate diverse geotechnical data sources. These would include geological surveys, borehole data, geophysical measurements and monitoring data from projects of SJVN.
The collaboration also aims to evaluate the intricate relationship between overburden and deformation, thereby enhancing the evaluation and design of support systems crucial for tunnelling projects. By harnessing integrated geotechnical data and 3D geological models, SJVN and IIT Patna aim to identify and analyze potential risks and hazards.
The MoU has been signed in the presence of Director (Finance), SJVN, Shri A.K Singh and Director, IIT Patna Shri T.N Singh in New Delhi on April 2, 2024.

Akhileshwar Singh, the Director of Finance at SJVNL Limited, is a pivotal figure in the company’s journey. With 35 years of experience as a pioneering advocate for solar energy, Singh has played a crucial role in SJVN’s success story.
SJVN Limited is primarily engaged in the business of electricity generation and tariff regulation. The company offers a diverse range of products and services, including electricity generation from hydro, wind, and solar sources, consultancy services, and power transmission. Its operations encompass thermal power, hydro power, wind power, solar power, power transmission, consultancy, and power trading.
Recently, SJVN Green Energy secured a Letter of Awards from the Assam Power Development Corporation (APDCL) for three solar power projects, totaling 320 MW in capacity. These projects are expected to generate a cumulative 628 million units in their first year of operation and approximately 14,591 million units over 25 years. With an estimated construction cost of Rs. 1,900 Crores, the projects are scheduled to be commissioned by March 2025. The commissioning of these projects will contribute significantly to reducing carbon emissions by 7.14 lakh tonnes, aligning with the government’s mission to combat climate change.
SJVN Limited has set ambitious goals for the future, driven by its vision to become a globally admired Indian Power Company known for delivering affordable clean power and sustainable value to all stakeholders. With a mission focused on socio-economic growth and optimizing shareholders’ and stakeholders’ interests, SJVN aims to achieve a remarkable milestone: a 50,000 MW installed capacity by 2040.
Akhileshwar Singh emphasized the company’s commitment to aligning with the Honorable Prime Minister’s vision of generating 500 GW from non-fossil sources by 2030. Under the dynamic leadership of Sh. Nand Lal Sharma, SJVN has re-engineered its business model, setting targets of 5,000 MW by 2023, 25,000 MW by 2030, and the ultimate goal of 50,000 MW by 2040.
SJVN’s commitment extends to harnessing energy in Uttar Pradesh, with plans to invest around Rs. 30,000 to 35,000 crore in the next 5-6 years.

India boasts an abundance of destinations that remain unexplored by many, offering a wealth of opportunities for those seeking untouched beauty and culture.
Whether you venture east, west, north, or south, you’ll encounter places that have yet to succumb to commercialization.
Allow us to introduce you to one such hidden treasure: Ramlok Temple, located in Sadhupul, a place you simply must include in your travel itinerary for your next vacation.
This temple will captivate you with its unspoiled allure and profound cultural significance.
India, a diverse nation, has something unique to offer every traveler, be it leisure, spirituality, adventure, or culture. To ensure that tourism provides a valuable and enriching experience for both international and domestic visitors, certain priorities must be addressed.
Developing unexplored tourist spots, such as Ramlok Temple, requires investments in public transportation and essential infrastructure to enhance tourism. Reliable transport options, well-maintained roads, efficient traffic management systems, and associated maintenance play pivotal roles in boosting the economy of rural areas, contributing significantly to the overall development of a country or state.
India’s forthcoming role as the host of the G20 summit holds tremendous potential. The primary objective of this global forum is to address complex challenges, and the development of rural areas and rural tourist destinations can directly or indirectly contribute to the growth of tourism, eco-tourism, and the economy.
In the words of Vedic literature, “Moksha Mulam Guroh Kripa” or “The root of liberation is the Grace of the Guru.” In our fast-paced world, the spiritual path followed by the ancient sages of India remains of paramount importance.
The journey of humans toward God, through spiritual practices, holds great significance. In India, there are revered sages who, through their dedicated sadhna (spiritual practice) and mantras, have attained profound mental and spiritual powers. Among them is Swami Amardev, the founder of the renowned Ram Lok Temple in Sadhupul, District Solan, Himachal Pradesh.
Swami Amardev is a revered Hindu Monk, Yogi, and Guru who has illuminated the lives of thousands through his teachings. His work has enabled people to overcome distractions and find inner peace. He is affectionately known as Guruji.
Swami Amardev is a divine and spiritual soul, a guiding light, hailing from the Rajgharana family of Rajasthan. His teachings emphasize a moral code of love, forgiveness, charity, contentment, inner peace, and devotion to God and Guru. He is on a path to elevate human life to a divine existence.
Devotees from far and wide visit Ram Lok Temple to seek blessings from Swami Amardev Ji Maharaj. Saints are considered the sagun (manifest) form of God, embodying His qualities and wisdom.
Swami Amardev treats all visitors equally, whether they are politicians, bureaucrats, businessmen, or ordinary individuals. His commendable contribution to the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is widely acknowledged. He has conducted live sessions on Aastha Channel and has received numerous accolades, including the Shri Ram Rattan Samaan Award and the Mahatma Gandhi Samaan Award in London. His dedication to Ram Lok Temple has earned appreciation from the President of India and other dignitaries. Notably, Ramlok Temple, constructed from octo-alloy, is a unique marvel in India and is listed in the World Book of Records.
Despite his numerous achievements, Swami Amardev remains humble, leading a yogi’s life in a small hut within the temple premises. He has dedicated his entire life to the devotion of Shri Ram.
Another remarkable feature of Ram Lok Temple is the Naglok Temple, a one-of-a-kind architectural marvel in India. This temple is constructed from an astounding 1.25 crore bricks and stands tall at a height of 450 feet. It houses 8 clans, 26 species, as well as Shesha Naag and the Maharani of Nagas (Serpents), making it a truly extraordinary spiritual site to behold.
