NEW DELHI: As a prelude to its annual techno-management festival called “Kshitij”, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, will be conducting a workshop at JSS Academy in neighbouring Noida this Saturday to familiarise students with a series of interesting and creative activities during the main event. The next edition of “Kshitij” would be held from January 29 to February 1 next year. “In the process of reaching out to maximum number of students and spreading information about the various technologies, we are conducting workshops in select cities. The theme of the workshop is “Remote Controlled Glider Design”. It will be a hands-on experience as the students will themselves make gliders at the workshop using free kits provided to them. The workshop is free of cost and any student from any institution can attend the workshop that will begin from 2 p.m.,” said a press statement. “The festival aims at placing students of all engineering and management institutes under the common umbrella of free participation and free knowledge”. “For four days ideas and models are created, modified, destroyed and then again recreated, all this to reach beyond the horizon. Kshitij is the largest festival of its kind in Asia in terms of prizes, participation, events and guests,” it added. PresentationsOrganised by IIT scholars, this event provides the student community a place to intermingle and collaborate to conceive and execute ideas, plans and presentations. Over 20,000 people, including 3,500 outstation participants, took part in the last edition of Kshitij. About 45 events, guest lectures and workshops were packed in it, with prizes worth Rs.35 lakh being awarded to winners of various categories.
