"Fostering Future Engineers"
From Chairman's Desk
Dear Students
"You are the nation-builders. You are the movers of technology. You are the
agents of change." The knowledge that you will gain, the fine qualities that
you will imbibe and the technical skills that you will learn to apply will be
your major contribution to your parents, to society, and to the nation.
We invest our trust on you. You are our safe source and we bank all our
efforts on you. We create not the future instead we craft you for the future.
"You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."
Best wishes.
-Mr. Pravin Patel
From Director’s Desk
Dear Students,
Neotech Institute of Technology- NTC
To nurture engineers who can think and create path-breaking inventions
to meet the ever-demanding professional, societal, and environmental
challenges.
We at NTC strongly believe that Education should consist of a series of
enchantments, each raising the individual to a higher level of alertness,
knowledge, understanding, and kinship with all living things.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change
the world.” - Nelson Mandela
- Mr Manish Shah
From Principal’s Desk
Dear students,
It gives me immense pleasure to pen a few words as prologue to our
E- magazine ‘SPARK’ exclusively meant for churning out the latent
writing talent which bears immense potentiality of sharpening your
communication skill as part of your over all personality
development. Technical Education is the backbone of every nation
and is the stepping stone for a country to move into the niche of a
developed nation. Empowerment of students for their all round
development through education is our cherished motto.
At the outset I send my greetings to the Editorial Board of ‘SPARK’
2015, for working on a Magazine best in all aspects. We want to
provide a complete package of educational services to NTC students.
I believe this magazine will provide us the benchmark for continued
improvement in overall development of the College.
- Dr. Dipesh M. Patel

FROM EDITORIAL COMMITTEE
It is our immense pleasure to present you the 1st issue of our magazine “SPARK”. It endeavors to familiarize its
readers with the college scenario in terms of campus activities and events which left an unswerving impression
in past months and much more through its various sections. It also provides a panoramic view of the cultural,
academic, sports and literary activities and achievements of the college.
You can find the latent seeds of future writers eagerly waiting for germination that needs to be nurtured with
care. This magazine is a reflection of an amusing literary flair and potential, albeit in budding stage, of students
who have participated whole heartedly in the process of making it. This self-motivated bunch of enthusiasts has
greatly helped us in giving the shape of this issue.
We, the committee members strive hard to innovate and put forth something new, more interesting and useful in
its each issue. We have exerted our highest level of efforts to include good quality articles, endowed with
variety of subjects in this issue. We have given our best possible inputs to meet the expectations of the readers
and improve its quality at the same time.
However, we are open to embrace constructive criticism, suggestions and opinions of our readers. We would
like to thank all contributing authors for providing such a rich variety of articles on an extensive range of
exciting topics.
Enjoy reading.

ARTICLE CORNER
BlogSpot
Yesha Amin, 3rd SEM Computer Engineering (SY).
WHAT IS ‘ACTUALLY’ IN THE OCEAN?
Salut fellas, with a silent t. I hope you have landed safely to this column which will be called
BlogSpot from this moment onwards. I’m Yesha Amin, trying to take few minutes of your precious life and
investing it into the launch of our brand new E-Magazine – “SPARK”. Yes! ‘Our’ magazine. You are free to
send us anything and everything, unless the content is, of course invalid.
So, you must be thinking what is all this about? What’s the agenda behind the heading? Well
slow down already! I’m here to explain everything. This is a blog post which will be updated every month with
the new issue of SPARK. I’ll be coming up with the most interesting and trendy topics to debate upon. Today’s
topic for the pillar post is “What is actually in the ocean?”
It goes like this: If you think oceans are fascinating and you want to understand how the
universe works, it’s not enough to be an expert on “what should be ideally in the ocean”. You have to
understand and research on WHAT IS ACTUALLY IN THE OCEAN. The same is for blog culture. It’s good to
know about what people ought to watch, read and listen to, ideally; all that is good stuff, talking about, and
worth arguing about.
But, what I’ve seen from some of the failed blogs is, people only care to talk, watch or get
angry about irrational ideas & the fact that they do – and the way they do – tells you something about them.
So, while it is explained, the “Ocean contains” part still holds a tight place in explaining the
concept that a blogger should write on “What is actually in the ocean” rather than writing on “What should be
ideally in the ocean”.
People judging and criticizing other people and writing about them in harsh language is not what
to be teached. Why criticize? Why fluff writings? Is it what is to be written in the pop culture? Can’t we just
write upon what is actually important rather than fluff? Well, I assure you that BlogSpot will remain far from
fluff writing but do forgive me if it’s a bad day or let me precisely state - Due day.
Oops! I’ve already taken a lot of your time, I see. And hence I don’t want to bore you guys; I quit
for today. Catch you guys later, next month, with a refreshing new idea. You can also send the feedback of
BlogSpot through your coordinators or can directly contact me. Doors are always open for any positive
suggestions.
Adios. 

God as a “Needless Hypothesis”
- Surabhi S. Modak, 3rd Semester, Computer Engineering Dept.
It is not necessary to believe in god to be a good person. In a way, the traditional nation of god is outdated. One
can be spiritual but not religious. Some of the best people in history did not believe in god, while some of the
worst deeds were committed in his name.
Fanaticism, unquestioning and unquestionable dogma, became the adrenaline, the testosterone, of religion;
violence, latent or manifest, lay at the heart of all religious creeds.
The backlash against religion has been spearheaded by scientists like Richard Dawkins and Sam Ham’s who
have cogently and eloquently argued that far from being a negation of moral codes and an ethical life, atheism
as a form of consciousness- raising is an affirmation of spiritual transcendence.
When the French philosopher- mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace presented a copy of his
monumental work on the creation of the universe, Mecanique-Celeste, to Napoleon, the
Soldier-emperor asked why there was no mention of god in the book. Laplace replied ‘I had no need of that
hypothesis’.
Is it time we outgrew that needless hypothesis?’ Those who say it is can do so with the blessing of Pope
Francis.

(5)Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) Plant, Savli 16th July 2015 by 5th Sem Civil
Engineering Students
Ready-mix concrete is concrete that is manufactured in a factory or batching plant, according to a set
recipe, and then delivered to a work site, by truck mounted in–transit mixers. This results in a precise
mixture, allowing special concrete mixtures to be developed and implemented on construction sites.
Ready-mix concrete is also referred as the customized concrete products for commercial purpose. Readymix concrete, or RMC as it is popularly called, refers to concrete that is specifically manufactured for
delivery to the customer's construction site in a freshly mixed and plastic or unhardened state. Concrete
itself is a mixture of Portland cement, water and aggregates comprising sand and gravel or crushed stone.
In traditional work sites, each of these materials is procured separately and mixed in specified proportions
at site to make concrete.
