The P.G. Department of Physics of Kanya Maha Vidyalaya, Jalandhar, celebrated National Technology Day on May 15, 2025, with great enthusiasm and academic spirit. The event aimed to commemorate India’s technological achievements, especially in light of Operation Shakti, and to inspire budding scientists toward innovation and research.

More than 55 science students actively participated in the program, which began with a brief discussion on the history and significance of National Technology Day, marking the anniversary of India’s successful nuclear tests conducted in May 11, 1998 under the leadership of former Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

The highlight of the event was an engaging and thought-provoking presentation by Dr. Neetu Verma, Head of the P.G. Department of Physics, who offered a comprehensive overview of the evolution of technology in India. She traced the journey from traditional scientific practices to cutting-edge advancements in nuclear science, space technology, and digital communication, with a special focus on the pivotal role played by Indian scientists and leaders in positioning India as a global technological power. Dr. Verma emphasized how scientific research drives socio-economic development and nation-building, inspiring students to take pride in India’s achievements and contribute to future innovations.

Following the presentation, students witnessed a series of live demonstrations of innovative and technically advanced physics experiments, designed not only to showcase theoretical concepts but also to highlight their real-world applications. These experiments sparked curiosity and active engagement among the participants, reinforcing the importance of experimental learning in science education.

To further nurture students’ innovative thinking and technical proficiency, a guided visit to the Departmental Innovation Hub was organized. During the visit, students had the opportunity to explore a variety of ongoing research projects, including student-led innovations and faculty-supervised prototypes. They interacted with researchers and mentors, gained hands-on exposure to advanced instruments, and discussed the process of turning scientific ideas into practical technologies. This immersive experience proved to be highly enriching, motivating students to pursue research-driven careers in science and technology.
