Chairman Message

At the outset, I congratulate the Mechanical Engineering Department

for the team of faculties, staffs and students continues work towards

NBA and NAAC accreditation, ISO Certification and HALCT in the

year 2016. I am happy to note the release of the Newsletter volume 3

is an amalgamation of all the events held in the department and it

plays an instrumental role in providing a greater exposure of the

Principal Message

As students are the members of a progressive society, the teachers

shall not fight today ‘battle with yesterday’s weapon, but they must

prepare them to face all the eventualities of life. Thus, teachers‟ are

the architects of a country. Consequently the true education should

deepen our insight, widen our horizon and create a meaningful

outlook. Equally the students are fortunate enough to have born in a

free nation, with all the facilities to shape their career in such a way,

that they should be part of a good and healthy society with

progressive attitude towards divinity.
