Welcome Address by Chairman
Er. Kailash Bhargava Chairman of the function welcomed the distinguished guests and other
participants for their participation in 48th Engineers Day.
Er. Anand Bardava read the message of Sh. Nainani Sb.
“It gives me great pleasure to welcome our Chief Guest, my friend and pioneer of Kota
Coaching Mr. V.K.Bansal, Chairman, Bansal Classes. I also welcome Mr R K Verma our Guest
Of Honour, a very lovable person and Managing Director of M/s Resonance Eduventures Pvt
Ltd., Kota.
Economy of Kota since past 15 years depends to a great extent on these two pride engineers
of our city.
I welcome all my colleagues and their spouses as well as distinguished guests on Engineers
Day today.
Present day’s development of India as well as of the world is the contribution of our
community.
We are proud to work in one of the most productive and creative fields of the world.
I am taking this opportunity to look back on current scenario of Engineers and particularly of
Govt. Engineers, which has been diluted by Bureaucrats and politicians and we permitted them
to do so by not resisting. All the top posts of up to Secretaries and Chief Secretaries level of all
the technical departments such as PHED, Irrigation, Industry, Electricity etc were occupied
by Engineers which is the case even now in states like Gujarat and countries like USA . I am
very confident that these departments will perform much better if managed by Engineers and
our chapter at the State level should make an action plan for the same.
We are part of the society and are very much affected by the current burning problems of the
society namely:-1) Corruption
2) Reservation
We all know that we have to work in our own area of effluence and at the same time I am
confident that we will have good impact if we think collectively and make action plan for these
two burning problems of India.
We at our local center of the institute have planned to make this action plan after conducting
Kota level seminars on above two problems.
In the end I being a very positive person wish to communicate that we all are going to see
remarkable growth of INDIA in next 5 to 10 years in which we engineers and particularly young
engineers are going to play a great role.
In the end I once again welcome our Chief Guest, Guest Of Honour and all my Engineers
family members and Hope that collectively we will achieve great heights for our INDIA.
JAI HIND and JAI ENGINEERS”

TECHNICAL SESSION
Er. Sandeep Gupta– He expressed by presentation regarding on theme “Engineering
Challenges for Knowledge Era” –
Knowledge Era and Knowledge Economy
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Knowledge flows in form of energy
Knowledge and idea are main source of economic growth
Knowledge has become more important than land, labor, money and other tangible
resources
Knowledge meaning is changing
It is not defined as being stored in the minds of experts, represented in books
It is being thought as something that does things or make things happen
We are in Era where knowledge is defined and valued not for what it is but for what it
can do
Every era has a company that defines it. We are now in the Knowledge Economy.
Knowledge Era Engineers…

•
•
Need to be able to locate, assess, and represent new information quickly.
Need to be able to communicate this to others, and to be able to work productively in
collaborations with others.
Need to be adaptable, creative and innovative, and to be able to understand things at a
‘systems’ or big picture’ level.
Must learn to creatively adapt to the fast-paced technical innovations we are seeing
around the world.
The world around us is changing, and so is engineering, and engineering education.
Engineers need to be part of the change process.
Any restructure in engineering education must aim to meet the challenges of a greater
knowledge base and emerging technologies, develop depth in management and
creativity in problem-solving, as well as understand the risks and uncertainties of the
times
Knowledge Era Engineers
• LEARN
• RELEARN
• UNLEARN

TECHNICAL SESSION
1. Guest Speaker Dr. (Smt.)) Annapurna Bhargava, FIE addressed the participants on
Energy Conservation in Domestic Appliances.
Energy Conservation:
She started her speech stating that it is imperative to understand the meaning of ““Energy
Conservation”. She described the “Energy Conservation” as – act of saving any form of
energy by reducing a service, that is, you need to cut back on you usage by doing without
or making due with less fuel or electricity. While energy conservation might cut down on
one’s comfort level and make things little inconvenient.
Why Energy Conservation?
She explained that most of our energy use comes from fossil fuels like petroleum, coal and
natural gas that provide electricity and gas to power our growing energy needs. These
resources are non-renewable which means that we will ultimately run out. Less burning of
fossil fuels also means lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is responsible for
global warming, and other pollutants.
Energy saving tips for domestic appliances:
She gave some of tips to conserve the energy in domestic appliances:Turn off lights when you leave the room or an area which is not needed.
Work in rooms with windows where you don’t need artificial light.
Shut down computer and turn off monitor when it is not needed.
Clean or replace air filters as recommended. Energy is lost when air conditioners and
hot-air furnaces have to work harder to draw air through dirty filters.
Keep the air flow by keeping air vents open.
Set your clothes washer to use warm or cold-water setting, not hot.
Check the gaskets around your refrigerator/freezer doors to make sure they are clean
and tightly sealed.
Use less hot water by installing low-flow showerheads.
Replace light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights. Efficient fluorescent light bulbs use
less than half the energy than traditional incandescent bulbs do to produce the same
amount of light, and they last a lot longer.
Turn off TV when it is not being used.
When purchasing an appliance such as a dishwasher or television, look for a
model that’s highly efficient. If possible, choose an appliance that has an official
label.
Install curtain on your windows.
When you by a car, choose one that gets good mileage.
2. Guest Speaker Er. K.M. Tandon, FIE addressed the participants on Energy
Conservation in Industries.
Speaker added one more terminology – Energy Efficiency. He clarified that Energy
conservation is an effective way to lower overall energy consumption; whereas Energy
Efficiency is defined as saving energy, but keeping the same level of service. For
example, if you replace an inefficient incandescent light bulb with a more efficient compact
fluorescent bulb, you are practicing energy efficiency.
Energy efficiency uses advances in science and technology to provide services and
products that require the use of less energy. Examples include replacing older model
appliances, such as a refrigerator or washing machine, with newer, energy-efficient
models. Modern appliances use significantly less energy than older models, yet provide the
same or better service.
Energy Saving Tips for Industries:
He gave some tips on to save the energy in industries :Improve power quality – Too high fluctuations of voltage and frequency.
Reduce over-loading and avoid over-sized motor.
Use energy efficient motors – More expensive but rapid payback.
Avoid rewinding of motors more times.
Power factor correction by capacitors.
Speed control of motors.
Inspect motors regularly for wear, dust, lubricant and alignment etc.
The awareness to minimize energy usage in the workplace.
Similarly to use energy efficient refrigeration, cooling, pumping, boiling and all
other systems.
Support renewable energy.
Importance of Power Trading & RPO on Green Power.
3. Speech of Chief Guest: Chief Guest discussed the increasing interest in energy
storage for the grid. He explained that it is attributed to various factors including –
1.
2.
3.
4.
Capital cost of managing peak demands
Investment needed for grid reliability
Integration of renewable energy sources
Low value battery systems for energy storage & grid application.
Chief Guest presented a memento to Dr. (Smt.) Annapurna Bhargava and Er. K.M. Tandon.
Chairman presented the same to Chief Guest.
VOTE OF THANKS
Er. D.K. Bhargava, Honorary Secretary extended vote of thanks to Chair, and all the

TECHNICAL SESSION
Welcome Address & Deliberation by Er. Mahendra Chauhan, Chairman:
Chairman Er. Mahendra Chauhan welcomed all distinguished guests, Chief Guest, Key
Speaker and students of Engineering College as well as Govt Polytechnic College.
The Chairman also presented deliberation on “Un-Burnt Carbon Particles in Cement: Part
of BIS in Cement Quality”.
He expressed that content of un-burnt carbon particles in cement is found beyond the
permissible limit of BIS, which accelerates the corrosion of steel in OPC mortar containing fly
ash and different percentage of carbon. The alkalinity of the cement is greatly affected with
increased carbon contents, and when the quantity of carbon is increased, cement lost its
characteristic color. He advised to take note of following information which is normally printed
on a standard cement bag at the time of purchasing:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
vi.
Type of cement - Colour of lettering on the bag is black for OPC, Red for PPC, and
Orange for PSC.
IS Certification Mark.
Net mas of cement.
Week and year of packing.
Manufacture's name, address and registered Trade Mark, if any.
Maximum Retail Price (MRP)
He strongly counsel to ask manufacturer for quality check report of the particular batch and
report BIS if any of the standard is being not followed and quality is poor.
Key Lecture on Theme by Dr. P.K. Agarwal, FIE, Professor: He in his speech outlined the
problems of construction materials at the end of the 20th century and also of the construction
materials of future. It was described how new materials such as carbon fibre reinforced
polymer high-strength concrete and high-performance concrete, create the possibility of a
further development. He also narrated various factors determining quality of cement and initial
and final setting of concrete & its laboratory procedures determining strength of concrete.
high strength steel proved to be very good construction materials. They are so-called ductile
materials that have high tensile and compressive strength. This strength enables the
construction of steel bent elements with spans that some years ago were beyond
consideration. The subsequent improvements of the production technology made it possible to
obtain steel with increasingly better properties.
Chief Guest Er. C.L. Dayani encouraged young engineers to do new innovations, work hard,
punctuality, honesty and hard work.
Er. Mahendra Kumar Chauhan, Chairman presented a memento to the Chief Guest & Key
Speaker, Dr. P.K. Agrawal, FIE, Professor RTU, Kota.

Speaker, Er. Trilok Maheshwari, MIE, who is Entrepreneur, shared views about his own
establishment and in his address narrated the Essentials of thinking to start a startup. He
described that he or she who has at least one innovative idea for the next big thing, willing to
become job creator and not job seeker, take action & go quickly to make his/her idea a reality,
can start a startup. Educational/ professional qualification doesn’t matter.
If you're thinking you may want to leave your day job and set out as a founder, it might be
helpful to reflect and make a plan but, once you've made up your mind, you need to go — and
quick.
A big part of execution is simply getting started, but once you've got the ball rolling it's helpful
to have a checklist of steps to follow to make sure everything is in order. These steps can be:1. Do your market research
2. Secure intellectual property
3. Decide on branding
4. Incorporate
5. Choose a co-founder
6. Write a business plan
7. Pick a workplace
8. Find a mentor
9. Apply for an accelerator program
10. Raise capital
Speaker, Er. Anand Bardava, MIE described all about STARTUP INDIA ACTION PLAN. He added
that what was perhaps the largest startup conference for entrepreneurs in India with PM
Narendra Modi action plan for Startup India launched on January 16, 2016, which included
new policies and initiatives that would make it easier for investors and startup founders to
incubate their ventures in the country.
It was also made known to participants that DIPP has launched the Startup Portal with the
mobile application which is an integral component of the Action Plan envisaged to be
implemented.
The portal and the mobile application will be dedicated to startups which will help enterprises
get them registered online in a day.
Here are some benefits which startups could receive through this launch.

TECHNICAL SESSION
Guest of honor, Er. R.K. Bhartiya, Addl. Chief Engineer, PHED, Kota in his onset deliberation
stated that Scarcity and misuse of fresh water create a serious and growing threat to
sustainable development and protection of the environment. Human health and welfare, food
security, industrial development and the ecosystems on which they depend, are all at risk,
unless water and land resources are managed more effecti
effectively.
To reverse the present trends of over consumption, pollution, and rising threats from drought
and floods he narrated following four guiding principles of Dublin and stressed upon the need
of concerted action.
1. Fresh water is a finite and vulnerable resource, essential to sustain life, development
and the environment

-Drinking water
-Irrigation
-Ecology/ Afforestation/biodiversity/tourism
-Agro-industries
-Hydro-power
- Non-agro-based industries.
-Navigation and other uses.
Key Speaker, Dr. V.N. Bave, Sr. Hydro Geologist, GWD, Kota in his speech on the theme –
“Water & Jobs”, stated that an estimated three out of four jobs that make up the global
workforce are either heavily or moderately dependent on water. This means that water
shortages and problems of access to water and sanitation could limit economic growth and job
creation in the coming decades.
Water and jobs are inevitably linked on various levels, whether we look at them from an
economic, environmental or social perspective.
Decent jobs are directly linked to water management, in areas such as providing water supply,
infrastructure and waste management; and water-dependent sectors, such as agriculture,
fishing, energy, industry and health. Moreover, access to improved drinking water and
sanitation facilitates job creation and a healthy, educated and productive workforce which is
the foundation for growth.
Chief Guest, Er. Sumnesh Mathur MIE, Chief Engineer of Water Resources Department, Kota
stressed upon conservation of water. Water conservation is a key challenge, which requires
public participation. Mass awareness on the need for water conservation and providing
common tips to effectively participate in this important mission is need of the time.
He suggested that –
Efficiency of utilization in all the diverse uses of water should be ensured and
awareness of water as a scarce resource should be fostered.
Consciousness about conservation should be promoted through education, regulation,
incentives and disincentives.
Water resources should be conserved and the availability augmented by maximizing
retention in the catchments area, minimizing pollution and avoiding wastage. For this
following measures are of utmost importance:
o Selective lining of the conveyance systems
o Modernization and rehabilitation of existing water distribution systems
o Roof top rain water harvesting
o Recycling, and re-use of treated effluent water and
o New techniques like drip and sprinkler irrigation may be promoted, wherever
feasible.
He also gave tips for Conserving Water for Domestic and Municipal Use.
Deliberations were also delivered by Er. O.P. Saxena and Er. R.P. Gupta on Irrigation Water.
Chief Guest presented a garland and Certificate of Honor to Er. Shyam Lal Gupta, also is

students. He stated that enthusiasm, nature of learning and not to compete with others (one should
compete with himself) are three mantra’s for being successful.
Er. Ashish Kumar Jain in his keynote address referred to meaning, concept, objective and Goals of
Green Building. He mentioned that Green Building concept is gaining importance in India. These
are buildings that ensure waste is minimized at every stage during the construction and operation
of the building, resulting in low cost.
He further mentioned that Green Buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built
environment on human health and the natural environment by:
Efficiently using energy, water and other resources.
Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity.
Reducing waste, pollution and environment degradation.
It often emphasized to take advantage of using sunlight through solar and photovoltaic techniques
and using plants and trees through green roofs, rain gardens and for reduction of rainwater run-off.
He mentioned Fundamental principles of Green Building as Structure Design Efficiency, Energy

Key Lecture on Theme by Prof. H.D. Charan, MIE
Prof. Charan empathized that Engineering is transforming science into useful products for
human comfort. Engineering is something that engineers do, and what they do has profound
effects on others. Ethics in engineering then is the ability as well as responsibility of an
engineer to judge his decisions from the context of the general wellbeing of the society. It is the
study of moral issues that confront engineers and engineering organizations when some
crucial decisions are taken. Engineering research and practice requires that the task being
performed considers all the pros and cons of a certain action and its implementation.
Professional engineering bodies like IEEE, ASME, IEI etc., have evolved comprehensive
ethics codes relevant to their respective professions, based on the rich experience of their
members. Independent organizations like NSPE have prepared value based ethical codes
applicable to all engineering professions. Teaching engineering ethics in academic institutions
is undertaken largely through many case studies for creating awareness interactively among
engineering students of all disciplines. By studying engineering ethics, the students develop
awareness and assessment skill of the likely impact of their future decisions on moral and
ethical grounds. Ethical standards in engineering are influenced by many factors:
1.Engineering as an experimentation for the good of mankind is a notable factor involving far
reaching consequence,
2. Ethical dilemmas make engineering decisions relatively difficult to make.
3. Risk and safety of citizens as a social responsibility is a prime concern of an engineer,
4. Technological advancement can be very demanding on the engineering skill in the global
context,
5. Moral values and responsible conduct will play a crucial role in decision making. The study
of engineering ethics within an engineering program helps students prepare for their
professional lives.
A specific advantage for engineering students who learn about ethics is that they develop
clarity in their understanding and thought about ethical issues and the practice in which they
arise. The study of ethics helps students to develop widely applicable skills in communication,
reasoning and reflection. These skills enhance students' abilities and help them engage with
other aspects of the engineering program such as group work and work placements.
The scope of engineering ethics envelopes diverse activities like
1. Engineering as a social experimentation
2. Engineers responsibility for safety
3. Role of engineers, managers, consultants etc.
4. Rights of engineers
5. Moral reasoning and ethical theories
6. Responsibility to employers
7. Global issues and concerns
The best way to teach engineering ethics is by using case studies—not just the disaster cases
that make the news, but the kinds of cases that an engineer is more likely to encounter. Many
real time cases are available or some hypothetical cases can be constructed and there are
methods for analyzing them. Engineering ethics can be taught in a free-standing course, but
there are strong arguments for introducing ethics in technical courses as well. If the subject of
professional ethics is how members of a profession should, or should not, affect others in the
course of practicing their profession, then engineering ethics is an essential aspect of
engineering itself and education in professional responsibilities should be part of professional
education in engineering, just as it is in law and medicine.
Professional ethics Profession is a commitment to a designated and organized occupation by
virtue of being an authority over a body of knowledge with requisite skills acquired through
specialized training. An occupation becomes a profession when a group of people sharing the
same occupation work together in a morally acceptable way with members setting and
following a certain ethics code. A professional is a practitioner belonging to a specific
profession. Professional ethics, as opposed to personal values and morality, is a set of ethical
standards and values a practicing engineer is required to follow. It sets the standards for
professional practice, and is only learned in a professional school or while practicing one’s own
profession. Today, it is an essential part of professional education because it helps students
deal with issues they will face.

Professional Codes of Ethics A code of ethics prescribes how professionals are to pursue their
common ideal so that each may do the best at a minimal cost to oneself and those they care
about. The code is to protect each professional from certain pressures (for example, the
pressure to cut corners to save money) by making it reasonably likely (and more likely then
otherwise) that most other members of the profession will not take advantage. A code is a
solution to a coordination problem. A professional has obligations to the employer, to
customers, to other professionals- colleagues with specific expectations of reciprocity.
Individual Responsibility: An individual in his professional capacity has responsibility for the
regular tasks he is assigned, for the outcomes of the actions and decisions. A professional is
answerable and liable for the actions. He should have the capacity and moral strength to
defend his actions/decisions. Individuals may fail for one or the other of the following reasons:
1.failure to meet minimum appropriate standards or falling very much below expectations due
to negligence,
2. deliberate underperformance.
Er. Mahendra Kumar Chauhan, Chairman Kota Local Centre encouraged young engineers to
do new innovations, work hard, punctuality, honesty and hard work. He presented a memento
to the Key Speaker Prof. H.D. Charan Professor RTU, Kota.

Chairman Sh. Mahendra Chauhan welcomed all distinguished Guests, participants, nominees
of this seminar and others and congratulates for success the programme.
Prof. (Smt) Annapurna Bhargava FIE convened the programme and reported about the
theme and its importance. Prof. Annapurna Bhargava explained that Synchrophasor based
Wide Area Monitoring Protection and Control (WAMPC) System forms an important
component of Smart Grid initiative. It offers new paradigm of real time security monitoring and
control. Large number of PMUs has to be deployed in the transmission grid at strategic
locations, along with other equipments and the WAPMC functions should be embedded with
the existing EMS functions. Its successful implementation requires development of suitable
application tools. The successful adoption of this emerging technology will require efforts
jointly by academic institutions, industries and utilities. Next decade our country will see a
phenomenal transformation in our power sector. Consumers may also become power
generators. This change will necessitate use of state of art technology, upgrading existing
systems, use of fast communication system finding new solutions etc. to meet our countries
energy demand. I urge engineer’s fraternity & research organizations to work rigorously. The
Smart Grid will revolutionize generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of energy. It
will make the Grid much more Reliable, efficient, flexible, Environment friendly. The Smart
Grid concept is still evolving. India must be a part of this evolution, and not a late follower.
Orgnising Secretary D K Bhargava emphasized that India has huge solar potential. The
sunniest parts are situated in the south/east coast, from Calcutta to Madras. Solar energy can
be used in two ways- Solar heating & Solar electricity. A solar power plant offers good option
for electrification in areas of disadvantageous locations such as hilly regions, forests, deserts
& islands where other resources are neither available nor exploitable in techno economically
viable manner. Most parts of the country have about 250 to 300 sunny days. Thus there is
tremendous solar potential. India is on the second position in the world in utilization of solar
thermal.
Key Note Speaker and Guest of honor Prof. D P Kothari, former Director I/C IIT, Delhi
explained the power generation scenario of the country. He explained the issue of power
quality in India. India meets its electricity demands with 65 percent use of non-renewables, 19
percent of that demand is met with hydropower, 12 percent from renewables, and 2 percent
from nuclear power. Demand is far outpacing supply in meeting the rapidly growing electricity
needs of the country. Electricity shortages have resulted in loss of profits for many companies,
loss in productivity as plants and businesses have been forced to shut down for a few days a
month or slow down manufacturing, and added operational costs as some businesses have
been forced to pay for power back up units. While growing demand is part of the problem,
poor infrastructure equally contributes to electricity shortfalls that have hindered recovery in
India’s industrial sector and hurt its overall economic growth.
Guest of honor Prof. R A Gupta, Professor, MNIT, Jaipur stressed for use a different way
of energy generation rather than fossil fuel by 2030, by the contributions of reduction from
Renewable energy (22%). He suggested improving the fuel to energy conversion of fossil fuel
improve the loss of energy transmission to end use and energy efficiency at end-use: potential
of contributing up to 65% of the projected growth reduction.
Er. A K Gupta, former MD, Jaipur Vidhyut Vitaran Nigam,Jaipur insisted to use rooftop
solar generation in domestic and commercial buildings to avoid grid dependency. Rajasthan
has about 2,08,110 km2 of desert land, which is 60% of the total area of the state. He said
that Rajasthan receives solar radiation of 6.0-7.0 kWh/m2. As the area has low rainfall, about
325 days have good sunshine in a year. In view of this, even before the creation of National
Solar Mission, Govt. of Rajasthan has taken an initiative in 2008 and approved two Solar
Projects each of 5 MW under Generation Based Incentive Scheme (GBI). To provide
encouragement in solar sector, Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission (RERC) issued
orders on 2nd April 2008, first time in India, imposing solar specific renewable procurement
obligation (RPO) for Discom in Rajasthan. To meet out RPO requirement, the State
Government approved Solar Projects of 11 private sector developers for setting up of 66 MW
capacity utilizing all available technologies in solar photovoltaic and concentrated solar
thermal. The Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission (RERC) has also notified the
RERC Regulations, 2010 on 23rd December, 2010. Further, Rajasthan Electricity Regulation
Commission has also issued from time to time the RPOs and feed-in tariff for Renewable
Energy Projects.
Ashish khandelwal, Department of Electrical Engineering, Govt. Engineering College,
Jhalawar said that variety of fuels can be produced from biomass resources including liquid
fuels, such as ethanol, methanol, biodiesel, and Fischer-Tropsch diesel and gaseous fuels,
such as hydrogen and methane. He emphasized that Biodiesel has become more attractive
recently because of its environmental benefits. The cost of biodiesel, however, is the main
obstacle to commercialization of the product Biodiesel is a renewable fuel manufactured from
vegetable oils, animal fats, and recycled cooking oils. Biodiesel offers many benefits i.e. It is
renewable, energy efficient, displaces petroleum-derived diesel fuel. It can be used in most
diesel equipment with no or only minor modifications. It can reduce global warming gas
emissions, tailpipe emissions, including air toxins. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, and suitable
for sensitive environments and It is made from either agricultural or recycled resources.
S N Joshi, Assistant Professor, Govt women Engineering college, Ajmer said that
Despite significant benefits to the environment and great long-term potential for sustainable
energy development, hybrid Renewable Energy systems are currently in an economic
disadvantage position because of their high installation costs compared with traditional
electricity generation technologies. In the majority of cases, the incentives from federal and
state governments and local utilities are necessary to make a hybrid system economically
viable, which, in turn, makes the incentive policies so critical to the widespread deployment of
such systems.
Amrita Jain presented her paper titled Development of Solar MPPT System Using Boost
Converter with Microcontroller. In this paper, she explained Solar power systems benefit from
an MPPT device in order to extract the maximum available power from the solar panels in the
system. The MPPT is a charge controller that compensates for the changing Voltage vs.
Current characteristic of a solar cell. By monitoring the voltage and current output of the solar
panel, the MPPT tracks the always-changing operating point in order to draw the maximum
amount of power available during all periods of the day. A circuit that would monitor the solar
panels power output and adjust the operating conditions based on a control system in order to
maximize the power output is successfully designed.
Chief Guest of the function Prof. N P Koushik, Vice Chancellor Rajasthan Technical
University emphasized the need to shift toward renewable energy to save environment and
sustainable development. India’s energy use has nearly doubled since 2000. Yet much of the
population still lacks access to modern energy, and there are long-standing difficulties
investing domestically in new supplies, not least because prices are kept too low to make new
investments viable. In recent years, the country has sourced nearly half its new coal use from
abroad, and the electricity system, once almost entirely fuelled by domestic resources,
increasingly depends on imports to meet new demand. This new dependence raises both
geopolitical and balance-of payments.
Technical papers were also presented in this session.
Honorary Secretary gave the vote of thanks to administration of IEI HQ, Administration of Kota
city, Distinguished Guests and participants as well as TEQUIP II of Rajasthan Technical
University for their heartily support for success this seminar.
VALEDICTORY SESSION:Valedictory session was organized at Conference Hall at Rajasthan Technical University, Kota
on 15 May 2016.

Valedictory Programme was started at 4.30 pm by garlanding of Portrait of Goddess Maa
Saraswati and Sir M Vishvesaraya and lighted up the lamp by distinguished Guests.
Sh. Mahendra Chauhan Chairman welcomed all distinguished Guests, participants,
nominees of this seminar and others and congratulates for success the programme.

Sharma MIE was Co-Convener of the programme.
Certificates for nominees were distributed by the Chief Guest.
Mementos were also presented to distinguished guests.
CONCLUSIONS
India has a long way to go achieve economic sovereignty in terms of its energy security. It
needs to urgently formulate an energy doctrine which is aligned to its foreign policy in order to
secure the present and future energy needs of the state. It needs to create more national
energy options instead of relying on imports, through exploration of low-carbon hydrocarbons
or by promoting alternative sources of energy. Technology partnerships should be actively
pursued to accelerate efficient utilization of domestic resources and also develop efficient
processes and infrastructure to extract resources like shale and coal bed methane.
Encouraging private investments in exploration and harness of new energy reserves will
further breathe life into the tightly-controlled sector fuelling competition and growth. Every little
drop counts and India must get its act together in guaranteeing long term energy supplies in
order to reach its goals of energy security.

Entrepreneurship for Social Impact”
”
He focused on ICT entrepreneurs and start-ups and small to medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs), which have a key role in ensuring economic growth in a sustainable and inclusive
manner. They are often the source of innovative ICT-enabled solutions that make a longlasting impact in global, regional and national economies, and are an important source of new
jobs especially for youth. SMEs make up more than 90 per cent of all businesses worldwide,
and represent a ‘path out of poverty’ for many developing countries.
He urged governments to apply better interventions to support small businesses.
He also focused on creating ideas, programmes, platforms and products for start-ups and
ventures, and provided a status update on the emerging market tech start-up scene.
He delved into the social impact of ICTs by showcasing how developers create unique and
life-changing applications for social good, such as introducing the hearing impaired to the
world of music. A panel discussion may be best practices in enabling ICT innovation through
small business development, both in terms of applications and development of the ICT sector.

TECHNICAL SESSION
Key Speaker Sh. S.R. Yadav District Forest Officer (Wildlife) Kota expressed thatWildlife trade is perhaps the most immediate threat to animals in many parts of the world.
Around the globe, wildlife is being bought and sold on an increasingly massive scale as pets,
meat, and food, as medicine, furs, feathers, skins, and trophies.
Wildlife smuggling or trafficking involves the illegal gathering, transportation, and distribution
of animals and their derivatives. This can be done either internationally or domestically.
Estimates of the money generated by wildlife smuggling vary, in part because of its illegal
nature.
"Animal poaching" is when an animal is killed illegally. It usually occurs when an animal
possesses something that is considered valuable (i.e. the animal's fur or ivory). Many
countries believe that the rhino horn is an important ingredient for many medicines. This is
false.
The primary reason for the founding of Wildlife SOS has been to rescue and rehabilitate
wildlife in distress in both urban and rural environments. Wildlife SOS rescues a number of
orphaned, injured, and displaced wildlife found in cities and locations from wherever they
work in India. Injured animals are given medical treatment and many are released back into
the wild. Where this is not possible, permanent homes are provided for the animals at one of
our many rescue facilities.
Although Wildlife SOS is mainly known for our work of rescuing and rehabilitating ‘dancing
bears’ or Sloth Bears, we also have active projects to help Leopards and Black Bears which
are a caught or involved in human-wildlife conflict situations in several states. Captive
Elephant welfare and rescuing performing elephants is something Wildlife SOS has been
associated with for many years. We also work on various projects targeted at environment
and biodiversity conservation, as well as, reducing our carbon footprint.
Wildlife SOS has formal ‘co-operative’ agreements in place with state governments and forest
departments in more than nine states in India to help rescue and rehabilitate the animals in
distress. Wildlife SOS works in many areas including the Jammu Kashmir area of India where
human conflicts with Asiatic black bears and leopards have become far too common, and
unfortunately often end badly for both people and wildlife. The Wildlife SOS program includes
educating the people through a series of workshops which explain how to avoid such negative
encounters.
Sh. S.S. Jain President Manglam Cement Ltd., Morak Distt Kota expressed his views thatLocated at Mathura, near bear rescue center, is the Elephant Conservation and Care
Center.“Elephant Conservation and Care Center” is a project of Wildlife SOS, created in 2010
in collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department to rehabilitate severely abused
captive elephants in distress. All the elephants housed at the center have shocking stories of
the situations they had to be rescued from. Here, several elephants that used to spend their
days doing hard work in often harsh conditions are living out their retirement years in peace
and safety. No longer forced to bear heavy loads, or walk on hot pavement, these majestic
creatures are finally able to spend their days happily, with frequent baths, a nutritious diet,
and good veterinary care.
The Elephant Conservation and Care Center currently houses 18 elephants which includes
12 females and 6 male elephants. The center is full of natural vegetation with enough open
fields around for their daily walks and several trees available to scratch themselves, thus
making it closest to the natural habitat of the elephants. Water pools have been provided to
the elephants with the free access for them to bath and play in the water, at will.
Chief Guest Sh. Anil Kumar Kapoor Conservator of Forest, Kota expressed thatWildlife SOS recognizes that human caring and understanding is crucial to saving wild
animals and protecting the habitats they need to survive. We work in both rural and urban
communities to educate people about the surrounding environment and the animals.
Education takes many forms, from showing people the little things they can do to help the
environment to techniques for avoiding human wildlife conflicts. Wildlife SOS has also been
working to resolve man-wildlife conflicts by educating villagers, tribal communities and
farmers who live in conflict zones.
Wildlife SOS has been conducting awareness programs to educate the public and encourage
responsible community participation in conservation initiatives such as tree plantation drives
in association with the school authorities of Jammu & Kashmir, cleaning plastics from
Bannerghatta to cleaning the Dal Lake with schools and colleges. Students and volunteers
learn about animal conservation and behavior and going forward these students organize
rallies to grow awareness about wildlife conservation and protection amongst their
communities. We work towards educating local village communities, school children and
college-aged youth about avoidance behavior in the presence of bears and other wild animals
and sustainable livelihood without destroying the environment or encroaches the buffer areas.
Sh. S.S. Jain and Sh. S.R. Yadav was bestowed with memento by Hon’ble Chief Guest. Sh.
Mahendra Chauhan Chairman KLC presented a memento to the Chief Guest.
