KOLKATA:
The Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering of
Heritage Institute of Technology held the inaugural ceremony of an eight
day, on-campus developmental workshop commencing from May 22.
Concluding on May 31, the workshop on 'Electron Devices &
Communication Systems' was organised exclusively to mentor students from
Industrial Training Institute, Kolkata.
A seven year-old
endeavour, conceived by the director of the institute, Professor B B
Paira, aimed to provide extensive tutelage, premier
laboratory facilities and vast exposure to young IT aspirants in the
burgeoning fields of Electronics and Optic Communications. For eager
achievers like Lakshminath Murmu, the workshop was a "huge opportunity
like never before."
The 'guardian figure' of this enterprise, executive director Probir Roy
insisted on taking this workshop as an opportunity to hone the skills
of the students even further, by inculcating in them spoken English
skills and a confidence that will make them market-ready. The department
acknowledged societal responsibility in imparting such valuable
training and considered this effort a mutual transfer of knowledge.
This year's workshop saw more rigorous training sessions unlike its
predecessors as each of the 18 students were intensively guided by a
team of 19 faculty members, using a one-on-one learning process.
Professor Paira advised the students to strive to utilise this
opportunity and envisioned this enterprise as "a vertical movement in
education." Hoping that this kind of an attempt would also inspire the
other departments of the institute to initiate action, he assured the
students that they could always return to the department for further
assistance, even after the completion of the workshop.
The department's most satisfactory yield for this project is perhaps the fact that not only does the annual workshop impart beneficial training to the aspirants but it also assists in ensuring the recruitment of the trained students. Professor Shiladitya Sen, head of the department said, "Only last year, students disciplined in the workshop were placed by H K Chaudhuri, chairman of Kalyan Bharti Trust with the company Vikram Solar at our request."
