“It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it.”

“The entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits it as an opportunity.”

What sets an entrepreneur apart from the crowd??? It’s his belief in owning the racecourse rather than racing the horse, his power of vision and turning it into reality.

Thus it necessitates the demand of a platform which gives the opportunity to such budding enthusiasts who are ready to fly, but lack wings. Aarohan 2013 undertakes the responsibility of being the perfect launch-pad for such innovators and guiding them before they are ready to take off. In its eleventh edition, Aarohan brings to you the B-plan competition, which embraces participation of all young entrepreneurs willing to showcase their entrepreneurial schemes and propose its feasibility in the long run. Their proposals will be debated and interrogated by our experienced judges’ panel com Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sentprising of shrewd business minds, which will mentor them and help their plans turn into successful business endeavours.

With a view to inculcating research culture in our higher education institutions, the Association of Indian Universities has taken a pioneering initiative to organize student research conventions for the aspiring researchers throughout the country. These conventions aim at identifying the young and rising talents who would be promoted through proper encouragement and incentives. Also an attempt shall be made to commercialize their research projects with industrial collaboration. The endeavour may accelerate scientific research and innovation and their application towards community development percolating to the grass-root level. National Institute of Technology has collaborated with Association of Indian Universities to organize Anveshan: AIU Student Research Convention 2012-13 (East Zone) at National Institute of Technology Durgapur during February 19-21, 2013.
This event is only for the NIT Durgapur Students

"It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time."

The need of the multi-dimensional world is changing. Superimposition of modern architects over traditional one has brought revolution in this dynamic world. Structural damage plays a major role in causing immense sufferings and/or deaths and everything goes haywire. Many road accidents take place because of roads being damaged. Old building and bridges have not been given proper care and alterations are made to them without considering the consequences. Preventive maintenance has been ignored for long . This event is aimed at finding the flaws as well as optimizing the designs so that the collapse can be minimized. It is the duty of a civil engineer to avoid disasters as much as possible to give way to a better world. Gear up, open up your observing senses and conquer the design.

"Do one thing every day that scares you"

Theme : what inspires those who inspire us”
Do one thing every day that scares you-Eleanor Roosevelt
Words of inspiration have been the source of sanguinity that drove the people to be what they are, to bloom in adversity and show others the way even when they were broke. They are the reason for upheaval, revolution and the difference that great minds made to the world. The apple that fell on Newton on a fateful afternoon changed the way we look at the physical world today. History is fraught with examples of people who were inspired by trifle things or moved by great events of the world. Whatever they may have been they were still sources of inspiration for great works performed in every imaginable field- from the social sciences to statistical computing!
Aarohan 2013, the annual techno management fest of national Institute of Technology, Durgapur brings to you Inspiratie 2013, the ideal podium where we get to hear their stories, who refused to quit, dared to breach the norms and envisage the idea of a progressive society! Come, dive into the elusive world of these creative geniuses in their own right, and get lost in a world where possibilities are endless-where the sight of a pin could become the vision of tomorrow’s wonder gadget! Experience their joys of discovery as they narrate their stories of hardships and vibrant encounters to you.
So this Aarohan, let’s inspire and get inspired!
Date: February 9th, 2013.
Venue: Arena, NIT Durgapur

"Do one thing every day that scares you"

Android is an open mobile phone platform that was developed by Google and, later, by the Open Handset Alliance.

Our team had a different thought while working on Android OS and world of applications. For anything or everything we are using applications then why should we forget our best friend “Robot”. We call it as “AndroidBotix”.

What are you thinking while reading the name “AndroidBotix”??? Feeling like fairytale story, no, it’s real. This year team ARK comes with one more concept workshop where students will be able to control robot using their own Android OS enabled smartphone with the help of application

AndroidBotix is a new approach in controlling robots which will differentiate conventional way of Robotics in Indian educational system. Basically this workshop is divided in two phase. Phase one will have understanding of Android OS, application development on Android os. Second phase will cover robot & its applications.

This module is the starting point of our series of workshop into robotics. It introduces you to the World of Automated Robots. The components required are told and then explained. Starting from Robot mechanisms to sensor system. It then takes you to program your bots in an embedded Environment. The algorithms to integrate the system with sensors and actuators are made easy and students make their own autonomous robots.This module is recommended to anyone who is starting with autonomous robot.

This module is designed keeping in mind that the person attending it does not have any prior Knowledge of robotics.

The workshop takes place on 2nd-3rd February 2013.
