Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Bombay present AAKAR 2011

It’s remarkable how building blocks are a universal pastime for toddlers the world over. We have all watched while a child delicately balances the last block on a precarious tower, only to knock it over in the clumsy moment of triumph that follows. And we all know we’ve been in that toddler’s place at some time or the other.

AAKAR-2011

It’s amazing how the urge to make something strong, something towering, something commanding is second nature at that age. What’s tragic is how that instinct fades away into the background as the rituals of education fall into place. Where does it go?

We, at Aakaar, wish to provide an outlet for the civil engineer in you. A two day extravaganza enveloping the wide diversities of civil engineering – a pedestal to present your ideas, a platform to show off your designs, a playpen to build those blocks again.

When? 5th and 6th March 2011

Where? Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Bombay

AAKAR 2011

The stage is set. We invite the Civil Engineer in you. Come, Chisel Civilisations.

Symposium is a conference for researchers (not always academics) to present and discuss their work. Together with academic or scientific journals, they provide an important channel for exchange of information between researchers. Generally, work is presented in the form of short, concise presentations lasting about 10 to 30 minutes, usually including discussion. The work may be bundled in written form as academic papers and published as the conference proceedings. Prospective presenters are usually asked to submit a short abstract of their presentation, which will be reviewed before the presentation is accepted for the meeting. Some disciplines require presenters to submit a paper of about 6–15 pages, which is peer reviewed by members of the program committee or referees chosen by them.

About VERIZON 2010

“Be the change you wish to see in this world”
- Mahatma Gandhi

Based on this thought of Mahatma Gandhi our vision is of a society where everyone takes initiative and fights for the change that he/she perceives would benefit the society at large. We feel that taking initiatives at a young stage is more likely to inculcate a sense of responsibility towards the society and people would then be able to lead their community and have a positive influence on others. As the youth forms the most crucial part of any society, the young minds should be conscious about the present day social problems.

VeriZon provides a platform for all those social change seekers who can make a difference, rise above the obvious, go beyond limitations, who possess a zeal for innovation and above all who can rise to the occasion and create a new society, a better nation and a happy world. We invite ideas for change which may range from for-profit businesses with a strong social responsibility to non-profit models with sustainable revenue generation. The common binding force is the strong impact these ideas can have on the society.

VeriZon is a competition for social entrepreneurship. We invite solutions for some existing problems that can bring about a social change.

Prizes worth INR 1,00,000 to be won.
