Second year Mechanical Engineering student of UIET Panjab University Chandigarh, Shri Arjun Mittal, has developed a very low-cost touchless machine to dispense hand-sanitizer. Total cost of all consumables in this machine is just Rs 500/-. This machine is instrumented with an active IR (Infra Red) sensor, a small pump and one transistor. Shri Arjun Mittal has not used any microcontroller in this machine but has instead used a transistor as a switch to operate a small pump based upon the signal of an active IR sensor.
Active infrared sensors both emit and detect infrared radiation. Active IR sensors have two parts: a light emitting diode (LED) and a receiver. When an object comes close to the sensor, the infrared light from the LED reflects off of the object and is detected by the receiver. Active IR sensors act as proximity sensors, and they are commonly used in obstacle detection systems (such as in robots).
In this machine, whenever a user places his/her hands in front of the active IR sensor, a pump placed inside the machine starts operating and sanitizer is released. This machine is housed inside a transparent Acrylic body. Panjab University has 78 departments and 15 centres at the main campus in Chandigarh. If on an average 2 such automatic hand-sanitizer dispensing machines are placed in each department/centre, then 186 such machines will be required. At the rate of Rs 500/- per machine, in just Rs 93000/- the entire campus of PU can be provided this machine at required locations.
This machine was presented by Shri Arjun Mittal to Honourable Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Raj Kumar today.

Smt Gulati enlightened everyone on the details about the RTI Act and discussed many interesting cases from her vast experience. She talked about what all information an individual is entitled to under this Act, in what format and in what timeframe i.e. 30 days.

RTI is a master key to good governance, democratic processes, human development, and realisation of human rights. Democracy requires informed citizenry, and transparency of information – in order to contain corruption and hold governments and their instrumentalities accountable to the governed.
The participants asked many questions from Smt. Gulati which she answered to their satisfaction with examples. The webinar ended with a warm vote of thanks from PUAA.

Prof. R.K. Singla, Dean of University Instructions, Panjab University, Chandigarh welcomed all the dignitaries and participants. He shared that the main objective of this faculty development programme is to create awareness among faculty members about the Open Educational Resources and online teaching-learning tools. Learning of these tools and techniques will help the faculty members to design their own online courses as well as e-content for the virtual classroom teaching. Prof. Rajbir Singh Ji, Honourable Vice-Chancellor, Maharishi Dayanand University, Rohtak inaugurated the workshop. He highlighted the need for training the teachers about using the technology tools to supplement and complement the learning.

She elaborated on the relevance of constructivist pedagogy, blended learning, flipped classroom in the present scenario. She stressed that collaboration is the major 21st-century skill that every student has to learn for managing all stress and adjustment related issues in the work environment. Indian schools have to adopt new norms for evaluation like the norm- referenced testing, two or three-tier multiple-choice questions to have an in-depth analysis of the knowledge of students. For reliable and valid evaluation, rubrics for evaluation need to be developed. She highlighted the need to change the mindset of parents in India who are still asking about the rank of their kid in the class. Parents have to know the actual learning of their kids. In the second session, Dr Amarendra Behera, Joint Director, CIET, NCERT, New Delhi elaborated upon the initiatives of Govt. of India related to online platforms. During the period of COVID-19, teachers have to learn about the synchronous or asynchronous mode of blending.

Others who are efficient in using all these resources and platforms require some re-learning.
