From Chairman’s desk
Esteemed Members,
It is my pleasure to be once again
associated with an excellently
participated Competition—the
Elocution Competition 2016
making the job of the Jury
extremely tough. The eminent
persons on the Jury did a fantastic
job of selecting 3 toppers in a
neck to neck competition. More
was of course expected from the
Colleges which somehow could
not participate in large numbers
this time due to various reasons
beyond their control. Anyway,
next Competition shall be
announced much in advance so
that we have participants
competing at our Auditorium.
This month we shall have World
Telecom Day followed by
Guidance workshop for 12th
pass
students desirous of taking to
engineering. Members may
spread a word amongst their
known people so that more and
more students can participate.
The workshop is totally free and
parents may also join the students
and interact.
Your views on what should be
taken up for Centenary
Celebrations would go a long way
in shaping the future of
engineering in our country.
