The co-ordinated efforts of coveted team including Prof., M N Bandyopadhyay, Prof. Y R Sood and Dr R K Jarial alongwith motivational support of all institute authorities have led development of this unique world class facility wherein funds have been arranged through MODROBS Grant, Ministry of Education(Formerly MHRD Govt. of India., DST TIFAC Delhi and Industry HP State Electricity Board, Shimla. All TIFAC CORE associated faculty members of NIT Hamirpur (both from within EED and outside EED ) have been contributing proactively for sustaining growth of this unique Industry sponsored TIFAC centre by providing quality services to its stakeholders including several Electrical Utilities, IPPs, PG students of Condition Monitoring Program in EED and all Ph D Research Scholars working on thematic research problems in area of Power Transformers. Some of Ph D awarded students under TIFAC thematic fields are currently pursuing their Post Doctoral Degrees in leading World class Laboratories located in Canada, Singapore etc. In addition, Dr. Jarial has been associated in several other institute development tasks from time to time. He has been Officer In-charge (High Voltage Lab, Power Electronics Lab and Energy Audit Lab.).He has been Officer In-charge,(Educational Tours, Training Students)EED, Member (Admission Committee),REC Hamirpur, Resident Warden (Kailash Boys Hostel),Warden(Kailash Boys Hostel & Mani Mahesh Boys Hostel),Co-ordinator,TIFAC CORE, Co-ordinator(Upkeep & Monitoring), Associate Dean(Research and Collaborations), Member(Incubation Centre) at NIT Hamirpur. He has guided around 100 UG &PG projects and has supervised 05 Ph D students and guiding another 03 phd scholars . Dr Jarial has been awarded One Patent by Patent Office, GOI Delhi and has filed another 01 applications which are under process. He has been an active member of several professional bodies (IEEE,CIGRE, IE(India) & ISTE) and has been contributing as reviewer of papers for IEEE, SCI,SCOPUS Indexed journals. He is also member evaluation board of Research Projects reports for CPRI, Bangalore, IITs and member Solid Insulation Committee, Bureau of Indian Standards. Dr Jarial has been involved proactively for smooth organisation of around 19 national and international academic events conducted at NIT Hamirpur from time to time in past. His current research Interests include Identification of faults in Power Transformers, RLA studies, High Voltage Engineering and Application of Power Electronics in various kind of drives.

Research Experience

Research Interests :	Power Electronic Systems, High Voltage Engg., Condition Monitoring of Power Transformers, Electrical Machines and Energy Systems
Brief Research Statement :	Condition assessment of power transformers has been a widely open multi engineering disciplinary field of research. With emerging trends in newer insulation materials, IOT applications and sensors, the trends of built in- on line tools to monitor the key electrical health parameters have remarkable impact in asset management. The researchers have established that there exist lot of scope of academic collaboration between academicians, power equipment manufacturers and application field utility engineers for putting up co-ordinated effort to solve pertinent issues concerning enhancement of useful life span of existing substation power apparatus/transformers in preventing catastrophic failures. It can also help in ensuring smooth reliable supply of electric power to all stakeholders in national endeavor.
