ISGF Award 2025 In a landmark achievement for India’s renewable energy sector, Dr. R.K. Kotnala and Dr. Jyoti Shah were awarded the National Gold Award by the Ministry of Power and India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF) on March 21, 2025. The prestigious award was presented at a grand ceremony held at the Lalit Hotel, New Delhi, during the ISUW Mega Event, attended by energy experts and dignitaries from India and abroad. award was given by Dr BP Singh, former CEC borad member and ISGF chairman Ranji Pillai.
ISGF Award 2025 : The Revolutionary Hydroelectric Cell
The award recognizes their groundbreaking invention, the Hydroelectric Cell, a technology that has been hailed as the 21st century’s biggest innovation in clean energy. The Hydroelectric Cell generates green electricity and green hydrogen through a unique process of water splitting, without the use of acids, alkalis, electrolytes, catalysts, or light. This entirely indigenous technology is a game-changer in the global push for sustainable energy solutions.
Why the Hydroelectric Cell Matters
The Hydroelectric Cell addresses two of the world’s most pressing challenges: clean energy generation and decarbonization. By producing electricity and hydrogen through an eco-friendly process, it offers a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. This innovation has the potential to revolutionize industries, reduce carbon emissions, and pave the way for a greener future.
A Legacy of Excellence
This is not the first time the Hydroelectric Cell has been recognized for its transformative potential. In 2018, it was honored with the Renewable Energy India (REI) Award by UBM, London. The ISGF National Gold Award 2025 further cements its status as a pioneering invention in the renewable energy domain.
New Science Creators Institute (NSCI): Driving Innovation
The award was conferred to the New Science Creators Institute (NSCI), the organization behind the Hydroelectric Cell’s development and commercialization. NSCI is dedicated to advancing sustainable technologies and fostering the next generation of scientists and engineers. Their research focuses on clean electricity, green hydrogen production, and industrial decarbonization, making them a key player in India’s renewable energy landscape.
The Award Ceremony
The glittering ceremony was graced by Shri Shripad Naik, Minister of State for Power and New & Renewable Energy, who presented the award to Dr. Kotnala and Dr. Shah. The event highlighted India’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, with the Hydroelectric Cell being celebrated as a symbol of the country’s technological prowess.
A Vision for the Future
Dr. Kotnala and Dr. Shah expressed their gratitude and shared their vision for the Hydroelectric Cell’s future. They emphasized its potential to make India energy-independent and contribute to global efforts in combating climate change. Their work is a testament to the power of innovation and the importance of investing in sustainable technologies.
Conclusion
The National Gold Award for the Hydroelectric Cell is a proud moment for India and a significant milestone in the journey toward a sustainable future. Dr. R.K. Kotnala and Dr. Jyoti Shah’s invention is not just a scientific breakthrough but a beacon of hope for a cleaner, greener planet. As the world transitions to renewable energy, the Hydroelectric Cell stands out as a shining example of what can be achieved through innovation and dedication.
