Now in its fourth year of existence, AITS has reached the AICTE sanctioned student strength.This increase in the number of students has been accompanied with gradual maturing of senior students and their motivating, guiding and moulding their juniors. Accordingly, AITS students from the first to the fourth year have been displaying excellence in activities beyond their curriculum. This year, some of the institute’s prestigious programmes, like the fresher’s party, Abhinandan and the annual programme, Spandan, were successfully organised by the students, thereby exhibiting their organisational abilities.
The trend of AITS’ students winning competitive events across the state has also continued. At the Uttarakhand Technical University’s (UTU) annual cultural programme, Aarohan, held at Kumaun Engineering College, Dwarahat in October 2009, the AITS student’s music_band Noir, led ably by Himank Pandey (CSE – 4th Year), won the event by out-performing the competing teams by a large margin and was awarded a cash prize of Rs. 15,000/-.
With the new semester commencing at the end of January 2010, AITS students got many new opportunities to exhibit their calibre in extra-curricular activities. February 2010 saw AITS students participating in two events held at three locations.
*A team participated in Shivatech ’10, organised by Shivalik Institute, Dehradun at which Abhishek Joshi (ECE – 1st Year) was among the winners in Play With Gates, an event which required proficiency in designing logical circuits.
*This was followed by participation in Uttarakhand Technical University’s (UTU) Annual Sports Meet, held partly at Dehradun and partly in the campus of Kumaun Engineering College, Dwarahat. In the cricket tournament, which was held at Dehradun, AITS’ cricket team was among the semi-finalists. AITS teams also participated in many other events, viz. Chess, Volleyball, Basketball, carom etc. which were held at Dwarahat. Here, both the Girls’ and Boys’ teams were among the winners. The students who brought laurels to AITS in the Chess event were Manju Bajetha, Poonam Rawat, Pallavi Naithani and Chetna Arora, Gautam Grover, Rituj Chaudhary, Kuldeep Koranga and Ishan Tiwari.
*March 2010 brought a wealth of opportunities for AITS students to exhibit their mettle and they utilised these opportunities to the fullest, leaving no one in doubt about their abilities.
* The first event in which the AITS students took part was Amrapali Institute’s annual function, Spandan ’10. All the constituent institutes of the Amrapali family made special efforts to shine in the home event, thus making all competitive events in the programme closely contested ones. So much so that in the group music event, Band-War, two bands from AITS, Ozone and Noir, competed against each other, with Ozone stealing the show. Despite the intense competition in all the events held, AITS students stole the show in most of the events, the winners being:
• Solo Singing:~ 1st - Himank Pande
• Solo Dance:~ 1st - Shivam Shah and 3rd - Jeetendra Kumar
• Ad-O-Mania:~ 1st - Anubha Upret
• Band_War:~ 1st – Ozone and 1st - Noir
• Fash-N:~ 1st - Neha Joshi and 2nd - Abhishek Chauhan
Now was the turn of the prestigious Dharohar ’10, the annual cultural programme of the G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar. AITS students participated actively in many of the events held, which included Singing, Dancing, Mehandi, Rangoli, Fashion Show etc. Himank Pandey (CSE – 4th Year) led student band, Noir, convincingly won the event it competed in.
March 2010 also saw IIT – Roorkee hold Srishti ’10, a workshop-cum-competition in the field of Robotics. Due to the prestige enjoyed by IIT – Roorkee and the subject matter being of professional interest to engineering students, the programme saw active participation by students from across the country. The competing teams belonged to engineering institutes from various states, e.g. Uttar Pradesh (Bareilly, Meerut, Ghaziabad), Madhya Pradesh (Bhopal, Vidisha), Chhattisgarh (Bilaspur), Andhra Pradesh etc.
AITS’ Club Robotica, represented by Rohit Pande (3rd Year), Rituj Chaudhary (3rd Year), Himanshu Upadhyay (3rd Year) and Puneet Kumar Singh (1st Year), designed and assembled a working model of an autonomous robot with Line Following, Edge Detecting, and Obstacle Finding capabilities, which was awarded the first prize in the competition.
We congratulate all the winners and thank them for making the entire AITS proud!!
