TECHNICAL ACTIVITIES

Science day commemorated with National

Conference “NCARTS-14” at GHRCE,

Nagpur

The two days interdisciplinary Second National

Conference on Advanced Research Trends in

Sciences (NCARTS-14) was organized on National

Science day i.e 28th February by the First Year

Engineering Department of GHRCE. The

conference was inaugurated by Chief Guest, Dr.

Nitin Labhsetwar Scientist-F, Environmental

Materials Division, NEERI, Nagpur. He in his

keynote reiterated that there is immense potential in

Research & Development in India as we have

maximum intake of students in the world in the field

of Science & Engineering. He said that 90%

conventional technology fails in the first six months

after implementation and hence we are for a lookout

for sustainable technology. Dr. Labhshetwar

emphasized that nanotechnology is the buzz word

today and is the only solution for most of the

environmental problems. This technology is self

sustainable and can be customized to be user

friendly, as the main hurdle after invention lies in

making people use the technology. He encouraged

researchers to take up interdisciplinary and

collaborative research which has practical relevance.

He further added that attempt is most important and

one should have a sound knowledge of fundaments

of the subject.

Dr. Preeti Bajaj, Director GHRCE, in her address

urged the researchers to align their research with the

institute’s mission and create a win-win situation.

She said that interdisciplinary research culminating

in development of technology is the need of the

hour. Dr.Nagarnaik and Dr.A.Y.Deshmukh, Deputy

Directors also guided the participants with their

encouraging words. Dr. B P Butey, Convener

unfurled the vision of the conference during her

speech. Prof. G M Randhawa and Prof. B S Patankar

conducted the proceedings of the conference.

Two plenary talks on emerging areas viz.

“Quantum cutting Phosphors for Photo cell” and

“Fuzzy applications” by Dr. Charusheela Joshi,

Professor, RKNCOE and Dr. Sanjeev Kumar,

Guest lecturers organized on

“Multichannel Modulation techniques &

it’s Applications” by Electronics

Engineering Department, At GHRCE.

Electronics Engineering Department of G.H.

Raisoni College of Engineering has organized a

guest lecture on “Multichannel Modulation

techniques & it’s Applications” on dated 10th

February 2014 by Dr.M.S.Sutaone. Dr Sutaone is

currently working as Professor in College of

Engineering Pune.

He was welcomed by head of the department

Dr.S.S.Dorle. He started lecture with the basics of

communication techniques and gradually he

explained very effective manner all the multichannel

modulation techniques. He explained prominently

the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing

(OFDM) which is a multi-carrier modulation

technique and is very much popular in new wireless

networks of IEEE standard, digital television, audio

broadcasting and 4G mobile communications. The

main benefit of OFDM over single-carrier schemes

is its ability to cope with severe channel conditions

without complex equalization filters. It has

improved the quality of long-distance

communication by eliminating InterSymbol

Interference (ISI) and improving Signal-to-Noise

ratio (SNR). He also explained drawbacks of OFDM

and its sensitivity to phase noise and frequency

offset. Student enthusiastically participated in

discussion with the expert and he clarified all the

queries of the students.

Total 150 students of U.G. and P.G. and faculty

members were present in the lecture and benefited a

lot by very informative & interesting session.

Guest lecture on Fuzzy Application and

practical Approach by Dr. Sanjiv Kumar

A guest lecture of Dr.Sanjiv Kumar was arranged

having an experience of 18 years. He has organized

05 conferences and 2 workshops, 30 Conferences

attended and Presented research work in India and

abroad. He give expert knowledge about Fuzzy

Logic and Fuzzy Modeling.

The lecture was organized for the students

participants and the M.Tech Scholars of all the

departments. During his lecture, he covered the

basics of Fuzzy Logic, its history. Then some

fundamentals were taught to the students about the

Fuzzy Logic. Sir has also told the importance of

Fuzzy Logic in our day to day life. Lastly he told

some real life examples which could be

implemented in day to day life. One example given

by him was the Insurance Policy System, where the

payment of the insurance policy will be based on the

Fuzzy Logic. He already design one such model for

the Insurance Policy System and shown some papers

presented by him to the students.
