Researchers at the Central University of Jharkhand (CUJ) have developed a dye-sensitized solar cell using extracts from the Gulabbas or Four O’Clock flower, a plant commonly found across Jharkhand and other parts of India.
CUJ received an A grade in February after the NAAC peer team visit. The university then sought a review under NAAC procedure, after which its CGPA increased slightly. Dissatisfied with the outcome in some parameters, it requested a second review.
