Alok was accompanied by his colleague, Paul Rosen, and the team had an extended discussion with the Director of IIT-Kharagpur, PP Chakraborty, about the prospects of the institute starting a NI-SAR oriented project in association with the premier space research organization of the country. Rosen exclaimed that, "This will automatically link up the institute with NASA. In the NI-SAR research, there will be a radar that will collect data through two bands - the 'L' band that will be managed by ISRO and the 'S' band to be handled by Nasa. The data will then be shared for final computations to determine tectonic movements of the earth that lead to earthquakes, tidal wave surge, melting of glaciers and rise in sea level". And he further asserted that, "Such research will help in managing disaster to a large extent".
