National Science Day on 28 February 2024

As a tribute to Indian Physicist Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, Applied Sciences Department at Chandigarh Engineering College, Jhanjeri, Campus, Mohali, celebrated National Science Day with the theme ‘Indigenous Technologies for Viksit Bharat’, with great fervor on 28 February 2024. The purpose of organizing the events was to assist students in comprehending the value of exploring the world of science to enlighten their surroundings with fresh knowledge. Competitions were organized in pairs and groups which encouraged students to coordinate purposely thereby working like a team. With a huge exhilaration, students participated in the competitions. A committee of Faculty Coordinators for each competition was formed to navigate the competitors, and rules & regulations with other essential details were shared with all the students a few days before the competition.
More than 90 projects and as many as 550 students competed in events such as The Learning Showcase (Project Display), STEM SPARKS, TALK TIME OASIS, ART Fusion (Theme Based), TREASURE FROM TRASH (TFT), and Code Nexus (Coding). Honorable, Mr. Arsh Dhaliwal (Managing Director CGC-J) along with other senior authorities visited the Project Display venue and interacted with the participants about their experiences of making endeavors, researching the concepts, and investing their precious time to prepare the projects.
The benign presence of honorable S. Rashpal Singh Dhaliwal (President CGC), well-regarded Dr. Avinash Sharma (Director- Engineering & President IIC), and Dr. Ashwani Kumar Sharma (HOD, Applied Sci.) along with worthy jury members Managing Director Mr. Pawan Kamra from Chandigarh Agritech Pvt. Ltd. and, Prof. Dr. Sakshi Kaushal from UIET, Panjab University, Chandigarh, graced the occasion of Inaugural Ceremony thereby illuminating the auspicious lamp and floral prayers were offered to the Almighty.
