<h2 id="campus">Campus</h2> <p>CMERI has one office campus and three residential campuses in <a href="/facts/Durgapur/bsd7YBz8">Durgapur</a>. Office campus spans in an area of 81 acres with more than 16 buildings. The campus is located 7.80 kilometers from Durgapur railway station and 1.6 kilometers from Durgapur City Center. The campus is adjacent to <a href="/facts/National_Institute_of_Technology/NjclKzn1">National Institute of Technology</a>, Durgapur and <a href="/facts/National_Power_Training_Institute/gUW6V3E2">National Power Training Institute</a>, Durgapur. An extension center of CMERI, Durgapur is situated in <a href="/facts/Bardhaman_District/6B0g1Iqs">Bardhaman District</a>, an industrial town of <a href="/facts/West_Bengal%2c_India/0B5bxvbW">West Bengal</a>. </p><p>Three residential campuses extended over 72 acres of land and has civic amenities like Staff Quarters, Scientist Apartments, Children Park, Health Center, Staff Club, Guest Houses, Executive Hostels, Academic Hall of Residence, Dispensary, Market, Gymkhana and Schools. <a href="/facts/Kendriya_Vidyalaya/MQKhjBkt">Kendriya Vidyalaya</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> is situated inside the campus for providing the education from primary to higher secondary students and meant mainly for ward of the employees. A state-funded free primary school named Shishu Bani is also available in the campus to serve the educational need of nearby poor people. The institute also runs a free children computer training center named CSIR Kids' i-zone, which is situated in the colony campus. </p> <p>This institute has an extension centre named as CMERI-Centre of Excellence for Farm Machinery situated at Ludhiana in <a href="/facts/Punjab%2c_India/bHPSN45a">Punjab</a>. </p> <h2 id="achievements">Achievements</h2> <p>The CMERI has developed many products and processes, out of which 26 have been awarded prestigious national awards. The CMERI has filed more than 100 patents. Over 120 licensees have learned from the institute's products and processes for commercial exploitation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p><p>During 1956–1962, <a href="/facts/Man_Mohan_Suri/wywz5lQ9">Man Mohan Suri</a>, the then director of CMERI, has developed a novel concept of an integrated power pack involving reverse-governing techniques for the diesel engine superimposed on a hydro-mechanical transmission called Suri-Transmission.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> This has resulted in substantially increasing the efficiency of diesel locomotives. Suri-Transmission and its improvements are covered by 36 patents in 11 major countries. </p> <p>In the mid-sixties, the <a href="/facts/Green_Revolution/sB1gbDxN">Green Revolution</a> triggered large-scale <a href="/facts/Tractor/gNc7kb4a">tractor</a> usage in <a href="/facts/India/QW4TV4sy">India</a>. To meet this growing demand in 1965, CMERI initiated a project for design and development of 35 HP tractor<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> based on <a href="/facts/Indigenous_(ecology)/03kpM3rf">indigenous</a> know how.

In the past, a major component of R&D carried out at this center has gone towards the development of appropriate machinery for productivity enhancement in the agricultural and post-harvest processing sectors. A series of oil expellers of different capacities (from 1TPD to 50TPD) are developed with a patented technology to produce pungent oil from mustard seed, which was released to several industries. In the industrial front, the center developed many products ranging from single needle flat bed & post bed leather sewing machines and high-speed safety stitching industrial sewing machines for the textile industry, brick molding machines for the construction industry, radial drilling machines, friction welding machines, and rough terrain forklift truck for the manufacturing industry. </p><p>This extension center of CMERI, Durgapur is now concentrating on precision farming, multi-cropping, and productivity improvement of available land, which would lead to conservation of seed, water, and fertilizer through the development of advanced farm machinery equipped with advanced sensors. </p><p>At present, the major R&D thrust of this center is directed towards the exploration of various sources of bio-fuels and perfecting its extraction technology. CMERI-CoEFM has taken the initiative for the development of a small biodiesel plant suitable for farmers in rural sector. The center also has started experiments for utilization of de-oiled cakes for generation of bio-gas, which can be used by farmers for self-reliance in energy. </p> <h2 id="academics">Academics</h2> <p>The institute offers integrated M.Tech.-PhD.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45"><sup>45</sup></a> programmes from the <a href="/facts/Academy_of_Scientific_and_Innovative_Research/YVBSAkFE">Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research</a> in New Delhi<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46"><sup>46</sup></a> in <a href="/facts/Mechatronics/bfxokpu6">Mechatronics</a>, and applied and <a href="/facts/Computational_Mechanics/t8EAMTke">Computational Mechanics</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47"><sup>47</sup></a> New <a href="/facts/Postgraduate_diploma/WdjNK2MY">Postgraduate diploma</a> Program <a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48"><sup>48</sup></a> in Robotics, Maintenance Engineering, and Advanced Manufacturing Technology are being offered with a target to provide in-depth exposure to the engineering concepts, scientific principles, implementation methodology and hands-on experience to freshers and Industry professionals.
