INDUSTRIES VISITED:

Industry 1:Vikram Sarabhai Space Exhibition (VSSE)

    The Vikram Sarabhai Space Exhibition (VSSE) is a non-commercial exhibition located in the premises of Space Applications Centre (SAC), Ahmedabad. The exhibition is aimed at generating interest about science in the young minds and inspiring them to make a career in space industry . This center is dedicated to Sir Vikram Sarabhai for his contribution to the Space Research Program.

At the entrance, a model of satellite launcher GSLV-MK ||| is present. The exhibition has two floors and one 3D auditorium. The exhibits are divided into 15 different themes which are arranged in a specific sequence so as to help gain a better understanding of ISRO activities.

The travel operated established a visit on 2th   January 2020 to the exhibition. A 3D short film was shown in the auditorium about assembly of International Space Station (ISS)  produced by Lockheed Martin Ltd.

Adalaj Stepwell or Rudabai Stepwell is a stepwell located in the village of Adalaj, close to Ahmedabad city and in gandhinagar district in the state of Gujarat. It was built in 1498 in the memory of Rana Veer Singh (the Vaghela dynasty of Dandai Des), by his wife Queen Rudadevi. It is a fine example of Indian architecture work.

Step wells like the one in Adalaj were once integral to the semi-arid regions of Gujarat, as they provided water for drinking, washing and bathing. These wells were also venues for colourful festivals and sacred rituals.Stepwells, also called stepped ponds, built between the 5th and 19th centuries, are common in Western India; over 120 such wells are reported in the semi-arid region of Gujarat alone, of which the well at Adalaj is one of the most popular.

Built in sandstone in the Solanki architectural style, the Adalaj stepwell is five stories deep. It is octagonal in plan at the top, built on intricately carved large number of pillarsThis mesmerising place was planned for a visit on, 4th January 2020. It is a 5 floor stepwell and it’s architecture is just way beyond amazing. The students enjoyed themselves and had a good time at the stepwell. They clicked many pictures and the chilled weather only added to the pleasing experience.

Spot 5:Kankaria Lake:

Kankaria Lake is the largest lake in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. It is located in the south-eastern part of the city, in the Maninagar area. It was completed in 1451 during the reign of Sultan Qutb-ud-Din Ahmad Shah II though its origin is placed in the Chaulukya period sometimes. A lakefront is developed around it, which has many public attractions such as a zoo, toy train, kids city, tethered balloon ride, water rides, water park, food stalls, and entertainment facilities. The lakefront was revamped in 2007―2008. Kankaria Carnival is a week-long festival held here in the last week of December. Many cultural, art, and social activities are organised during the carnival.

The reservoir is a 34-sided regular polygon covering an area of 76 acres and having a shore length of approximately one and a quarter mile, or 2 km.[5] It is surrounded by flights of cut stone steps and in six places, slopes, giving access to the water. These slopes were covered by square cupolas, each raised on 12 pillars.Our students reached kankaria lake around evening. Since it was already chilled, being at the lake made it even more pleasant. Our students enjoyed many attractions such as boating, speed boating, cycling etc. They spent a good 2-3 hours at the lake. Later on, everyone headed to the hotel Regenta Inn.

After dinner at our hotel, we headed to the Ahmedabad railway station and boarded our train: Duronto Express at 11:55pm. We reached Mumbai Central at 6:00am and everyone went back home safely.

Latex, a document preparation system, is widely used for publishing in many scientific fields like mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering, chemistry, physics etc. It is a powerful and open-source system that provides numerous facilities for automating typesetting of the document: The talk introduces the basic concepts of Latex. Participants will be able to create and design documents in Latex and presentations in Beamer. The talk covered the following topics:

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Title of the program: Python workshop

Objective: - To teach students the basics of Python programming and motivate them for the purpose and importance of the language for job placements, higher studies and competitive programming

One hundred seventy-five Student Solar Ambassadors of V.E.S. Institute of Technology (VESIT), Mumbai assembled solar study lamps on 2nd October 2019, the 150 birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.The Workshop focused on sensitization of over 1 million Students globally towards adverse effects of climate change and making them future Ambassadors of Renewable energy was organized by Department of Electronics Engineering, VESIT in association with IIT Bombay & Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). 

The required electronics components, solar panels and assembly parts are provided to the students during the workshop.  Students assembled and tested all the components to make solar study lamps under the supervision of trainers.

Dr. Kushal Tuckley (IIT-Bombay), Mr. S.Y. Kulkarni (Ex-Scientist, SAMEER), Mr. Prasad Rao (Member DAB. VESIT) were the keynote speakers for the workshop. They created awareness about solar energy as a renewable resource, usage, and practical applications and effects of global warming.  Shri. B. L. Boolani (President, VES), and VES trustees Dr. Prakash Lulla and Shri. Vijay Talreja encouraged the students to spread the usage of Renewable Energy globally. Dr. J.M Nair (principal) and M.Vijayalaxmi (Vice principal) along with the entire assembly Pledged for Non-Violence to the Environment.

A team of 12 certified trainers helped the students for assembling the solar study lamps. The 12 mentors were required to attend a video course designed by IITB & had to pass in 9 Quiz with an passing percentage of 80% . All 12 trainers scored more than 90% in the quiz to get IITB certification. The Team included Dr.P.Birajdar, Mr.Abhijit Shete ,Mr. Prasad Godse, Dr.Asawari Dudwadkar, Mr. Yogesh Pandit, Mrs. Dipti Karani, Mrs. Amrita Jhaveri, Ms Nikita Ramrakhiyani, Mrs.Kavita Rathi , Mr. Kashi, Mr. Chandrashekhar Jawle & Mr. Vishwakarma.
