IIT Kharagpur Alumni and five Industry leaders came up with a visionary proposal to set up a state of the art of the Advanced VLSI Design Laboratory in Kharagpur

The aim is to achieve excellence in design and research using latest technology at the global level and produce trained professional manpower for the industry.

In April 2006, the Lab launched the AVLSI Consortium comprising members from leading industry to support its high quality research activities. The consortium provides a forum for its members to share their ideas, mentor the research activities and share the research output.
