Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Initiative
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has taken the initiative of creating Standards Clubs in educational institutions comprising teachers and students as members. Through a variety of activities under these Clubs, young talents get learning opportunities in the field of quality and standardization.
Teachers play a vital role in guiding and motivating students to channelize their creativity and enhance scientific temperament. Since 2022, Government College, Ropar has collaborated with BIS to disseminate awareness about product quality and BIS specifications.
