RISE-2014 was a unique initiative by SESI Students' Chapter of NIT SILCHAR.
With an objective of spreading the awareness about the cutting edge research going on in the field of Renewable Energy, RISE-2014 lived up to its name. RISE-2014 received participation from across the country and was one of the most successful organizations in the Renewable Energy map of the country which specifically targeted the youth enlightening them about the immense possibilities of R&D in the field.
