The budding engineers of the State capital are getting a chance to enhance their creative skills in technical branch. A three-day technical fest ‘Srijan 2013’ is being organised at open air auditorium, Ravindra Bhavan premises. The fest began on Tuesday and would conclude on April 11.

While talking to The Pioneer, Principal of Bansal College of Pharmacy and member of organising faculty of Srajan 2013 NK Tiwari said, “The basic motive of organising this technical fest is to let the engineering students learn innovations and be an important part of it. Here, the students would not only gain knowledge of different aspects of engineering, but also enhance their technical skills and bring out their creativity.”
He further elaborated, “It is a student project contest which is organised every year encouraging the students to come out of their boxes and create something innovative. The basic concept behind Srajan 2013 is ‘ideate, innovate and create.’ He further said, “We endeavour to make the city a technical educational hub.”
The contest focuses at innovation in electronics, electrical and computer science engineering branches. This contest is organised to promote research activities among the engineering students at undergraduate and postgraduate level and let them present their novel and innovative ideas and reward them, he added.
Not only this, the other side of engineering students was also seen as they played old Bollywood songs on stage. The students captured the attention as they began singing the lata Mangeshkar, Mohammad Rafi and Kishore Kumar’s songs before the older gentry.
It was fun for the audience to watch the young generation tempering the strings of old memories. The first day of technical fest was filled with competition, awards, fun and music.
