To Prof. S. Bhaumik Coordinator – NID Project, IIEST Shibpur Dear Prof. Bhaumik, This has reference to the meeting of spoke centres and hub, held on 30th September 2016 at IIT Kharagpur, in connection with the NID Project and DIC sponsored by MHRD. It was decided that a Workshop on Product Engineering (PE) and a Design Idea Competition, with a focus on Rural Technology and Applications, will be held in November 2016 at IIT Kharagpur. The date for this workshop and competition is fixed on 13th November 2016 (Sunday), considering the availability of invited speakers and academic time-table. It was also decided that five undergraduate (engineering) students from each of the Spoke Centre (Institutes), including yours, will participate and the cost towards this may be met from the fund allocated to the spoke centre. I subsequently discussed with the concerned persons of the individual Institutes, over phone for early intimation, while the other formalities and finalising the dates with the invited speakers were being completed. Now, I would request you to kindly make necessary arrangement for sending your students to attend the workshop and participate in the competition. The programme will start at 9.30 am and will be over by 6 pm on 13th November 2016 at IIT Kharagpur. Kindly provide the contact details (Name, Mobile Phone No., and E-mail, Department and year of study) of the five (5) students, who will attend the ‘Workshop including Design Idea Competition’, by 4th November 2016. Also please provide the contact details of the coordinating faculty member, for this. Hope you will kindly do the needful and we look forward to hear from you on or before 4th November, since there is not much time left. We look forward to the valued participation of your students. Thanking you, With warm regards, P K Dan Coordinator, of PE Workshop Co-PI, NID Project +91-9830251805
