Jammu, February 20

The two-day 5th National Conference and Exhibition on “Emerging and Innovative Trends in Engineering Technology” began at the Government College of Engineering and Technology (GCET) here today.

The conference is being organised by the GCET in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur. It was inaugurated by chief guest Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari, Minister for Education.

Speaking on the occasion, Prof SS Pathak from IIT-Kharagpur, organising chairperson, gave a detailed account of the growth of science and technology from the ancient era to the 21st century. He urged upon the scientists and engineers to come together to monitor the growth of the technology by encouraging research in development-oriented and patent-oriented problems for the betterment of the human society at large.

Bukhari in his speech laid thrust upon the young aspiring engineers to recognise their respective strong points and special capabilities in using them to maximise value addition activities in the field of science and technology through such technological innovations in the current fast-changing liberalised economy.

He reiterated that for a state like J&K, the need of the hour was to bring the young, fertile and innovative minds on a common platform to pool their resources to free the state from the morass of the last 25 years.

On the occasion, the Education Minister announced the setting up of laboratories with modern facilities and an auditorium for the college.
