National Seminar on Recent Advances in Thin Film Technology
Contemporary advances and rapid growth in thin film technology provide challenge to our academic institution to prepare engineering students with an
ability to apply knowledge of science and technology for various aspects of Engineering, ITM Gwalior has taken the initiative by organizing the two days National Seminar on “Recent advances in thin film technology”.
The seminar was inaugurated by Prof. K.L. Chopra, Advisor, Thin film Lab, IIT, Delhi and Former Director IIT, Kharagpur. The eminent speakers of the seminar were Dr. L.K. Malhotra, Prof. Emritus, Thin film lab, IIT Delhi; Dr. R.K. Kotnala, Scientist, NPL, Delhi; Prof. S.A. Hashmi, Delhi University; Dr. Neeraj Jain, Dr. D.C. Tiwari and Dr. P. Rajaram from Jiwaji University, Gwalior. In the inaugural talk Prof. K.L Chopra discussed the development of thin film technique and various methods of fabrication of nanomaterial thin films. About 200 scientists, academicians, researchers and engg. students from various Universities of all parts of India participated in the seminar. About 125 oral and poster presentations were presented in the seminar for the benefit of the engineering students some tutorial sessions were also organised.
National Science Day Celebration ISTE Student Chapter of ITM celebrated National Science Day on 28th February, 2008 and organized a series of programs for 3 days commencing from 26th February, 2008. The focal theme of these programs was “Mother Earth: Global Warming”.
The programme was inaugurated by unveiling the Bronze statue of Sir CV Raman by Prof. A.N. Mitra, S.S. Bhatnagar, Awardee and Former Head Physics Department, Delhi University. Keynote address on Raman effect was given by Prof. A.N. Mitra. Co-curricular activities started 2 days in advance viz. Drawing Competitions (topic Global warming), Science skit and documentary film on Nature’s beauty and Environmental problems. Two movies were screened on National Science Day. “Kayakalp” a movie produced by BARC based on renovation of Apsara reactor shows India’s capacity for Nuclear Power. The second was the World Famous Movie “Day After Tomorrow” by Rolland Emirick based on impact of Global warming on earth:
On the last day a multimedia presentation on Fred Pearce’s “The Last Generation” was given Shri Ramashankar Singh, Chairman, ITM Universe and Ravindra Singh Rathore, Director, ITM Universe.
The movies & presentation were an eye opener for students & faculties to consider the threat of global warming and take up the challenge positively.
