    Department of Mechanical Engineering, Pillai HOC College of Engineering and Technology (PHCET), Rasayani arranged an industrial visit to :

    • Shri Chhatrapati Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd. in Bhavaninagar, Baramati, Pune
    • Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Baramati,
    • Center of Excellence (CoE) in Dairy, Baramati,
    • Indian Biodiesel Corporation, Baramati

    on 29th July 2022. A group of 22 members (17 students and 5 faculty members) participated in this activity.

    This visit was organized during the annual maintenance period of the Shri Chhatrapati Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana (Maharashtra’s biggest sugar factory in terms of production) and thus the members participated got a great opportunity to get an exposure to the details of the sugar manufacturing technology and bagasse based power generation technologies which are not usually visible, by witnessing the dismantled machineries and equipment.

    At Krishi Vigyan Kendra students were briefed about the problems faced by the farmers while performing agriculture. Steps on how can the farm output be increased, by the use of organic fertilizers, the appropriate crop planting patterns, educating the farmers about the soil health, the ways they can replenish the lost nutrients in the soil. KVK is also involved in generation of the hybrid or genetically modified seed which are diseases / pest resistant and many more benefits for the farmers. KVK also focus on what modern machineries and technologies could be developed for better yielding and better harvesting of crop.

    At Centre of Excellence (CoE) In Dairy, Baramati, a walk through was conducted on the plant campus, the demonstration of cattle arriving at the milking station to the exit of the cattle from the station was shown. We were also guided on the flow process of the milk, from milking from the cattle to pasteurization, to the end packing of milk & milk products.

    At Indian biodiesel corporation, Baramati, students were introduced to optimization of biodiesel production process from non-edible oilseeds / feed stocks like Jatropha, Karanja castor. The impacts of using biodiesels in conventional CI engines, the scope of research in the field of biodiesel were discussed with students and students were guided on opportunities in this field.

    The seminar aimed to understand the importance of design thinking. Designing thinking is a process that aims to radically change how you solve a problem by diversifying the design team and fully understanding a specific user. Most entrepreneurs are inherent design thinkers. They are always looking for problems that can be solved and solutions that can be improved. They are empathetic to customers’ needs and naturally have a curious mind that allows them to look at things unconventionally. This is how they can come up with business ideas and turn them into sustainable startups. The students got great help regarding planning and out of box thinking.
