Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is known for its Research and Development knowledge base in diverse Science and Technology areas with its dynamic network of National Laboratories, Innovation Centre’s etc.
RNB Global University through its flagship industrial visit of B.Sc. and B.Tech students to CSIR Delhi embarked milestone journey with the vision of providing the students an exposure to wide spectrum of science and technology – from radio and space physics, measurements, genomics, biotechnology and nanotechnology, information technology, chemicals etc. Thus to endow the students the practical application based knowledge one day trip was organized to CSIR-NPL Delhi on 27th September, 2016. CSIR-NPL, New Delhi is the National Metrology Institute of India.

4. MicroBio Sensor Lab. responsible for the calibration of any Bio Medical Sample and currently working upon the cancer and dengue samples
5. Nano-Technology Labs
6. Helium Centre: In this lab calibration of many gases along with Helium is being done and maintains the temperature to 4.2 K. Helium is turned to liquid form and then used where ever required.
In Auditorium of CSIR-NPL the students were shown a video which depicted the research of Scientists and Researchers in NPL over a time period.
The students were happy as the visit to CSIR was unique, informative and innovative accordingly able to correlate their theory concepts to practical daily life applications.
For leisure they visited Saket Mall and India Gate. In the end it was a memorable visit with a unique experience which included knowledge enhancement and enjoyment.
