Students displayed innovative science projects in the two-day annual technical fest started here at National Institute of Technology in Chhattisgagh capital of Raipur.
The fest considered as one of the biggest events of the country has attracted participants from all 13 NITs. At least 65 students took part in the science exhibition held on the first day of the event, and displayed technology related models they have created to solve human problems.
A model which was on display, showed how waste material of aluminium can be converted into bricks and can be used in housing sector. Such bricks could be environment friendly and could reducing pollution.
NIT student Sibendra who created the model said tonnes of aluminium waste materials at present are being left un-used. Such waste can be put to best use if we made bricks out of it and use in the construction sector. Such bricks could be stronger that the bricks which are being made of soil, he pointed out. Similarly another attractive model demonstrated better procurement, storage and distribution of food grain.
Bhilai steel plant executive director P.K.Sinha attended the inaugural ceremony as chief guest. Sudarsan Tiwari, the director of NIT presided over the inaugural function. General Manager mines T.R.Yadav who attended the function as a guest recollected his memory as he is an alumnus of the NIT.The other attraction of the events would be a model of Paris’s Eiffel Tower using straw, and laser show. They are expected to be on display tomorrow.
