PU VC opined that  Introducing coding and increasing exposure to technology at a young age will go a long way in helping future generations lead the way to a new world of innovation and creativity, thus, giving children the opportunity to set their own goals and reach new heights debarred of old teaching systems to pull them down. The secret of success for a student lies in making the best use of his capability and capacity to think. Previously the student used to think through  the mind of the teacher and follow their thought process. Coding helps to blossom every single unit of the child’s brain whether being logical thinking or through art integration, mechanics, or analytical thinking. It enables children to enter the world of new-age technology by giving them an arena to develop apps and games or work in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence.

 Sh. Vijay Nadda, Organizing Secretary North Zone, Vidya Bharti was the chief guest who talked on the role of a good teacher in shaping the future of students,  as it is the teacher whose hand the student holds in his journey to success. . He shared his thoughts on the new ‘Shiksha Neeti’ and how it marks an important step by the government to help brighten the future of the nation. 

. 

The keynote speaker Prof. Sanjeev Sofat from PEC, Chandigarh talked on the benefits of learning coding at a young age like development of analytical and computational thinking and problem solving skills. It will lead to algorithmic and structural thinking in kids, that is, they will get the ability to define clear steps to solve a problem and learn how problems can be divided into smaller modules for efficient solutions. Coding concepts inculcate the habit of curiosity and will push the students to ask questions.

. 

 Dr. Parminder Duggal, Principal Ankur School also expressed her views on the topic and Prof. Anu Gupta concluded the webinar by proposing a vote of thanks. The webinar concluded on a positive note that introducing coding in schools will bring positive change in the way kids think about problems.

Building a sustainable world requires overcoming disciplinary boundaries. Interdisciplinary cooperation, on the basis of disciplinary excellence, can contribute to developing an integrated scientific approach aimed at supporting sustainable development. It should be based on a broad understanding of science, covering the whole range of disciplines from natural sciences to engineering to social sciences and the humanities, and address the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Panjab University recognizes that research, especially cross-disciplinary research, is the key success factor to the achievement of a sustainable future for society and communities. Research can help to make ongoing improvements in sustainability measures, products and policies. It can also help to encourage and induce societal efforts and opportunities in bringing about sustainability changes to our natural and human systems. Such research inevitably crosses the traditional divide between the sciences and engineering, humanities and law, and education, to produce new and refreshing possibilities in research and its outcomes. The divisions into traditional disciplines as well as the distinct separation of science from society have to be overcome. Also, global scientific cooperation – on a level playing field – needs to be increased.

That is why  PU has created various verticals for interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary approach to societal problems. All seminars and workshops are designed by involving multiple Departments and Centres, he added.

The Vice Chancellor, BHU Varanasi Prof. Rakesh Bhatnagar in his address congratulated on the theme of the conference. In the message sent from BHU, he emphasized on the need of sustainable technologies in the present scenario.

 The keynote address was delivered by Prof. G.D. Yadav, Emeritus Professor of Eminence and Excellence, Former Vice Chancellor, ICT Mumbai. He clearly mentioned the energy intensive issues raised by the present Industry. Citing a large number of applications, he talked about the alternatives which are actually sustainable and offer a cyclical phenomenon of life and death.

Over a span of two days, the conference will include a number of  plenary lectures, invited talks and oral/poster presentations in various parallel sessions. The thrust areas of the event include Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology, Green and Sustainable energy, Waste Management, Biochemical Engineering, Process Modeling, Simulation & Optimization and Advanced Separation Technologies, Catalysis & Reaction Engineering, Process Intensification, Food & Nutrition, Polymers & Composites, Petroleum Refining & Petrochemicals, Process Engineering Control & Automation.  The plenary speakers include Prof. Vijay K. Thakur, SRUC, UK, Prof. Meyya Meyyapan, Chief Editor, Mat Res Exp, NASA Ames lab and Prof. Anantha Ramakrishna, Director, CSIO, Chandigarh and Prof. Sarit K. Das, Director IIT Ropar.. The main topics of talks include Sustainable Materials Research From Past To Future: The Way Forward, Design ,synthesis and application of Faceted Titania, Nanostructured Metal Oxides based Hybrid Supercapacitors, Plasmonics and Nanotechnology and many more. About 100 participants are part of the event.
