The Department of Physics at Kanoria PG Mahila Mahavidyalaya Jaipur, in collaboration with the Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT), Regional Council-6, celebrated an Institution’s Innovation Day and an Inter-College Working Model Competition on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the former President of India and eminent scientist. The program began with a welcome address by the college Principal, Dr. Seema Agarwal. She encouraged the students to develop a scientific temperament and to move forward in the field of innovation. The aim of the event was to foster a scientific outlook, innovation, creativity, and hands-on knowledge among students. A total of 13 teams from various colleges participated enthusiastically in the competition, presenting innovative working models that demonstrated practical applications of scientific principles. Dr. K.S. Sharma, President of Regional Council-6, attended the event as the Chief Guest. He encouraged the students to remain curious, develop new ideas, and seek solutions to society’s problems through science. The judges for the event were Dr. Ritu Jain, Professor, Department of Physics, IIS University, Jaipur, and Dr. G.S. Maneria, Founder, Physics Dhaam. Dr. Maneria also demonstrated various concepts of physics through engaging and informative experiments. Using experiments related to Bernoulli’s principle and waves, he explained complex scientific concepts in a simple and interesting manner. These demonstrations heightened the students’ curiosity about science and inspired them to learn through experimentation. In the Inter-College Working Model Competition, students from various colleges presented the working, scientific basis, and utility of their models. The competition gave students an opportunity to showcase their talent, share new ideas, and develop scientific and technical skills. In the competition, Akanksha Aswal, Anjali Meena, and Akshita Chauhan, students of the college’s Physics Department, secured first place. Second position was bagged by Neha Saini, Mahima Sharma, and Meenakshi Soni of Subodh Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Sanganer, while third place was won by Lakshya Jain, Kailash Mahawar, Anushika, Kirti, Devanshu Meena, and Payal Mehta of Anand International College of Engineering, Jaipur. At the end of the program, Dr. Sarla Sharma, Head of the Department of Physics, delivered the vote of thanks. Dr. Sumita Shekhawat, Dr. Deepti Chauhan, Dr. Manisha Kumari, and Dr. Harsha Sharma of the Physics Department played an active role in the successful conduct of the event. On behalf of the Indian Association of Physics Teachers, Regional Council-6, cash prizes of ₹2,500, ₹1,500, and ₹1,000 were awarded to the winning teams. The college presented trophies to the winning teams and certificates were given to all participants. The event was dedicated to Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s ideas of scientific outlook, innovation, and harnessing the power of youth for nation-building.
