More than 120 students of various schools of the region participated in this workshop on advanced technologies.  

Day 1 of the workshop started with the presentation on the latest technologies being used in the design and manufacturing of the products. The students were acquainted with the Auto CAD software for the development of the drawings. After the training, the students developed their own drawings for the various parts. On second day of the workshop, the students were trained on FANUC CNC Simulator and developed their own part programs of the drawings developed by them on Auto CAD software. On the CNC Simulator, the students tested and simulated their developed programs. After this the students were taken to the CNC Machine where the students machined the workpiece according to their drawings.

After the successful competition of the training, the Certificate distribution ceremony was done which was graced by Prof. CR Tripathy, Dean SEDA, Dr. VK Rattan the Vice-Chancellor of GNA University, Dr. Hemant Sharma the Pro Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Monika Hanspal Dean Academics and the faculty members from the various schools.
