IIT Delhi, through its newly formed Optics and Photonics Center (OPC) named "Optics Learning Centre", has launched an outreach initiative as part of which school, under graduation and post-graduation students, may take free online lecture videos related to optics and photonics. A collection of online lecture videos from IITPAL, NPTEL and other relevant sites are being offered to students who wish to learn the basics of optics right from basics to the advanced level.
The website also mentions that other initiatives such as to showcasing the most recent publications and developments in optics from IIT Delhi and other research groups, a platform for all interested participants to interact with experts from optics and photonics field, and a place for startups and innovators to showcase their optics and photonics products and devices will also be launched soon.
