 Good afternoon everyone. It's my pleasant duty to invite all of you to join us in this valedictory function of the two-week IST workshop on photovoltaics. The dignitaries are already sitting here. I request my colleague Ms. Gayathondey to give them our floral. Professor Vasi, Professor Kanan Madgalya, Professor Fernandez and Professor Solanki. The format for today's valedictory function is that I will invite both the faculty members who were involved in the workshop to say a few words about their experiences in the workshop and then we will be visiting the remote centers for your opinion and your reactions to the workshop and then I'll invite the dignitaries to say a few words in closing. Thank you and I'll invite Professor Solanki. We are at the end of the journey that we started about two weeks back. So, this has been a very learning experience for me as well, the planning of this course, interacting with the people and interacting with the many enthusiastic coordinators. So, they have really done a wonderful job and this feeling that I have actually spoken to about 1000 teachers, I have taught them solar photovoltaic to 1000 teachers is a great feeling. And also the interaction that I had with you during this 10 days of lecture and the nice question answer and also the interaction through email suggest that the workshop was quite interesting for you people. Definitely it was very interesting for me and as I said I have learned a lot from you and your question answers. I hope there is this interaction or this course that you started. First of all, this course is not a normal course, it is not a regular course. But we have undertaken this initiative because this is the need of the hour and as secretary has also mentioned and the minister has mentioned in their inaugural talk and secretary also mentioned yesterday that in India we really need a large amount of manpower in solar photovoltaic and who is better person than a teacher to actually contribute to that. And that is why it is not a normal course and we have taken it very seriously a lot of efforts have gone and many as I said I am very happy to see that there is a very good energetic enthusiastic response from the coordinators and the amount of work they in their TA have put into this. So, that is wonderful and thank you very much for that. I will hand it over to Professor Fernandez. Fernandez, do you want to manage the session? Nothing much to say. Yeah, I enjoyed teaching or giving lectures. Small piece of advice to all the participants is that whatever that we do from here onwards see to it that it affects the life of a common man. Because when I was teaching I was getting questions which are a slightly of two advanced research of nature and I some of them I did not answer because they were not too relevant. Yeah, you can do research I encourage you to do research but then solar mission whatever that was started I think the primary goal is to electrify the so called electrify the rural areas and to do that we need to have a reliable technology not a too sophisticated technology. That is the precise reason I did not answer those questions they were too sophisticated in the solutions were too sophisticated in nature. Yeah, finally my apologies for not putting up my lecture notes on time and whatever the question that are remaining to be answered I will do it in a couple of days and this is not the end this is just the beginning. If at all if you have any questions feel free I am available at dgf at e.itb.ac.in but before asking me a question I expect you to do your homework that somehow it was not very apparent when you people were asking questions. Some of them were now please forgive me do not get offended they were too basic in nature I think if you sit tight with a paper and a pencil you should be able to find an answer. Let me tell you if I give an answer I will assure you that in no time you will forget and if you find an answer to your own question let me assure you will never forget. So keep in mind before asking a question do your homework and still if you have doubts yes you can approach me and if I know I will answer. My best wishes to all of you thank you for listening to me patiently in the last 10 days and again last 2-3 minutes thank you. Ok now as Dr. Mukta mentioned we will go through the remote center one by one and remote center can use this opportunity to talk to us if you want to give any message or just for your own participants if you want to or any administrator from your institute want to give any message. So you will get about couple of minutes so make sure that you keep it to about 2-3 minutes. So I will go one by one to all of you I am just going by the alphabetical order so no particular preference. So first I am going to Amal Jyothi College Karila. Sir the session was very nice we have enjoyed well. Sir in order to continue the interaction actually is there any vision document or any guidelines for this to continue the interaction between IITB and the participating institutes. Ok so Moodle some of you already using Moodle forum is the one medium by which you can continuously interact not only the coordinators and the centers remote center but all other teachers can also continuously interact through the Moodle. So keep visiting Moodle keep interacting with your other colleagues it is not only important that you talk to IIT Bombay but it is also important that you talk to each other your colleagues from various centers. Ok thank you for participating. Now I am going to Amrita Koyampitur. Sir should we get a small feedback from some participants here would you like that now? Yes whatever if you want to summarize yourself and I am requesting to all the coordinators if the coordinators can use this 2-3 minutes and summarize their experience or if there is any senior person or you can take a feedback from participants. Ok sir. Sir we had good sessions here we had participants from arts, polytechnic and engineering all of them enjoyed doing their experiments and one or two days when we had cloudy days we also had some halogen lamps unsimulator to work on with. I would just randomly pass on to one or two people at random to give you a small feedback. Yes please go ahead. Sir we are all pleased with the way the workshop was conceived planned and executed and we have also wondered we have tried to make maximum we have gained maximum knowledge and we all turned as actual students by teaching by learning by learning and writing tests and so on. And one small request sir in the quiz at least 10 questions should be in the single page or the whole question paper should be on one or two pages. And that experimental session was very interesting and our coordinator was very cooperative and made extra lab visits and all and 10 days was very useful and we all remember it well. So this is Sumitra and the sessions which were conducted for all the 10 days were very interesting very useful and we were very busy the whole day till 8 o'clock or till 10 o'clock in the evening at night even working out your tutorials and assignments were very busy and we are very much thankful for the professors who conducted the sessions. And we like to impart what we have gained. Okay thank you very much for sharing your experience even if there is something missing from the other side in the lectures or even the planning you may like to share that out. So next I am going to Amrita school of engineering Bangalore. We enjoyed all the sessions in the workshop for the whole 10 days and especially the quiz sessions we really enjoyed the most and that quiz sessions really put into us some kind of thinking and more working towards this theory photovol types. And we would like to impart this knowledge to our students when we go back to our colleges. Thanks for the coordinator. The coordinator was very cooperative and I hope such programs will be again planned in future also which will help us especially teachers all over India. Thank you. Okay thank you very much. Okay next I am going to Amrita school Kolam and after that Basu will come. The course has been structured very well. It is actually professional and excellent. The way it is organized, the quizzes are conducted and it is completed in a very nice and professional manner. I would like to thank you as well as Dr. Fernandez for organizing such a wonderful lecture. And I would also like to thank the entire IIT Bombay team in providing all the infrastructure in conducting laboratory experiments for our participants. Thank you. Thank you very much. Okay thank you. Right now college of engineering Pune. Professor Pandey. The coordinator. All the sessions here were quite exciting and the participants here are so motivated that they will definitely after reaching their parent organization. They have decided to start some in include the solar photovoltaics in their curriculum also. I would like to pass for some better feedback to one of my participants. Good afternoon honourable respected Dr. Solanki sir, Dr. Fernandez sir and all dignitaries on diaries. At the outset I would like to congratulate and thank you and your team for conducting a very successful workshop on solar photovoltaics under the ages of MNRE and JNSEL. It is really a very wonderful experience of different teaching and learning. This workshop brought us a step ahead in solar photovoltaics. Professor Dr. Solanki sir taught this solar PV topic excellently, skillfully and yet lucidly so that it has created a real interest about PV media. Your extraordinary contribution in this area truly inspired us. Today the workshop is over but it has ignited our minds so we would like to continue to work and to contribute to make this solar mission successful. And for this we will require your continuous technical support in future. So with this request once again I thank all of you for such a wonderful academic deliberation. And I am also thankful to workshop coordinator of COD Dr. Mendesar and his team for providing excellent facilities during the theory and practice. Thank you sir. So I would like to know how to technical support we will get in future from you. Okay, thank you very much for appreciating the effort. Nice to know that you enjoyed the course and will actually be useful, use it to actually impart the knowledge. The technical support will be available as I mentioned through the Moodle. The Moodle is a very useful interaction medium for many, many participants. And you can use the Moodle forum to post your question and get the answers from us or from your other colleagues. Okay sir, for me actually let's say the experience service was very pleasant in terms of the interaction which started from the coordinator's workshop. But then again we had this experiments which we had to perform at IITB itself. And again the support we got from IITB in terms of the kits. So I think really we were having talks on how to kind of also improvise on the kits and maybe make them kind of, we can kind of just upgrade the kits maybe in some aspects obviously with cooperation from your side. And some of the participants over here was also interested as you pointed out earlier in getting the kits if obviously they kind of fared well in the quizzes and assignments. But apart from that the most important aspect is that some of the participants were really encouraged and they also want to kind of take up some research activities as a part of the center. And they were eager to kind of know whether they can pursue their research under NCPRE. So what I had advised them and from whatever knowledge I had gathered from your side that very soon maybe you're going to launch the photovoltaic users program very much like the INUP. So maybe people are expecting that INPUP be started soon. So I do not know whether you have a deadline on when the program is about to start. So maybe you can just brief us something about the INPUP program and how similar or how dissimilar it is going to be from the INUP program. Hello my name is one of the participants name is Sudeep Krila that is within a 10 days workshop I am just very much interested regarding the solar cell how it is made and the different idea regarding the solar cell PV modules and etc. But something is gathering knowledge for in future that is just I am just very much interested towards about that. So automatically I am just research going research on the solar PV module in future. So in case of a solar cell module something that is not gathered from this that is a power electronics part. So actually I am just dedicated towards the solar cell module except power electronics part. Okay thank you for your comments from the BESU we will respond to that towards the end of it. Salim, this is Santhil Kumar was the coordinator. I am Dr. Santhil Kumar Kaur's coordinator speaking. In our remote center all the participants have actively participated in the lecture session as well as in the practical session. In the practical sessions they have conducted the experiments on solar PV cell that is IV characteristics. And solar simulator they conducted experiments and the effect of temperature they have found conducted experiments. And they have done the experiments on PC1D simulator they are all excited in the experiments and they actively participated in the quiz. In the first two quiz two three people have not attended and in the third quiz all the people are involved very eagerly in this process. I would like to ask you two questions. You said that the module will be useful for link and which will be used. My doubt is whether this same username ID will be retained for future use. And another thing is you said that the solar kit will be sent to age participant. If it is true when we will have the participants will get the kits over to you. Okay, Professor Santhil Kumar thank you for your comments. To your first question the module ID will be you can use the module ID at least for the next six months and depending on the activity we will see. But next six months the same module ID for all participants will be active and you can use it. Regarding the solar kit we are trying our best to get the approval from MNRE. So till that happens we cannot promise anything. So we are trying to find out the ways in which solar kit can be provided to the participating colleges. Thank you sir. Okay, so now we will go to the Dabalpur college. Professor Anurag Trivedi the coordinator. I would like to share my views regarding this. I am one of the participants here. Sir I am Preethi Jain. Sir first of all I would like to extend my heart full of gratitude to all the coordinator and everybody who is directly or indirectly involved in this workshop for providing such informative and thought provoking knowledge to all of us kindly accept my thanks and gratitude for that. And all the lectures were very well delivered and very informative and we expect some more workshop like this in future if possible. Thank you sir, thank you for everything you have given to us. Thanks a lot. It has been a very good experience in our site and all the participants from different college around the Dabalpur has participated and they are benefited. And in future we are looking for your greater support and respect of more courses and more course material. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. So Jaipur college. Yeah, first of all I would like to thank Solanki sir for his very pleasant and very encouraging kind of step that he has taken. And it was my first step that I have taken because recently I have joined a lecture and during this time I was being allowed to attend the meeting in Mumbai. And I have learned a lot of things from Chetan sir and my colleague's family members also. And during this session it is like for me a very encouraging moment and I have learned a lot of things regarding the PV modules and systems also. And while interacting with all the participants even we have the chances to learn more things. Okay, thank you very much. This kind of system if it is maintained in continuity it can be beneficial for faculties like us and also those who are eager to know about this kind of systems and other more innovative. We are definitely continuity is what is required and I am sure the role of each of the coordinators not only the coordinators each of the participant is very very important. So make sure that you yourself are continuously referred and take along other people with you in this journey. So when you try to take along other people I am sure you have to keep your own momentum and the continuity will be maintained. But we definitely guarantee from our side that all the support will be available to each and everybody who is willing to put efforts in this direction. Now I am going to Kaji Somaya. Professor Bandari. Sir needless to say that this was an excellent piece of coursework that our students participants and we have gone through. But certain more details I will like to give our participants ranges from young participant of age 23 to age of 50. All of them have really been the students and done a very excellent job. What I will like to say is one of our participants is running already running elective in solar PV at ME level. But in spite of that she also said that the extent of learning that we are going through in this course was really good. Then participants response I will tell you one or two examples like one day they were practicing about PC1D. So they did not get proper efficiency. I said that this is not that you are not getting proper efficiency. So they have gone back and working till 535 45 and finally getting the results down there. Then some of the suggestions are like participants being multidisciplinary. They want like certain areas of power electronics basics etc to be covered so that they can enjoy it further. Second is if there is one doubt clearing session after one month or so. So that during this time they can send you their doubts and together if you can answer all those doubts in a proper whatever way you feel is appropriate. So that one day session of doubt clearing or two day session of doubt clearing will be very much appreciated. And one minor complaint is there about the quiz that in the quiz certain questions based on memory based where they are like production of God or photons whatever wavelength. So certain questions they said they should have not been there maybe they missed their top rank by one or two questions. So that is the complaint. But needless hours particular center in top 7 or 8 we have got 6 or 5 or 6 of our persons in the top 7 or 8 ranks. Thank you sir. Okay thank you very much. Professor Vandari I am sure you have taken very active participation and I am sure all your participant has also done the same thing. Regarding the complaint yes I think if you study little more harder all those questions will also become easier for all the participants. So thank you very much for your contribution. Please give us the detail about I will send a mail to which are the colleges where elective PV elective is going on and definitely we will provide more support. This is a good idea about have a doubt clearing session after a month or so. We will think about it and maybe Moodle is the best way to do that. But still if there are more requirement of some other medium we can try to do so. Thank you. Kakinada. Sir Shubha Chandra. It is very interesting sir this workshop. Sir the especially the second phase of a coordinated workshop that we have been there was very helpful in running the workshop here sir in Kakinada. The experiments are also very interesting. Most of the part sprints are still some of the couple of badges are still there in the lab sir they preferred to stay there. And it has been a wonderful experience especially for me and to the part sprints also. Working on solar photo really hands on last 10 days have been a wonderful time. Sir I would like to hand over to couple of part sprints sir they want to have some questions to you sir. Please go ahead. Thank you Professor Solanki sir. Actually I enjoyed your lecture so good so nice sir clear explanation is there. I enjoyed it a lot and Pernod's lecture was also very good. And now I never expected such a lot of information from both the professors from IIT Bombay. I was thinking that you will be going we will be going in a highway like that. But you are so clear and so fundamental things you have taught us. We really we thank you very much sir and I feel that so many other centres are there which are deprived of your lecture. So I feel that all the colleges in India must be given your video recording so that the future will be generation will be benefited much sir. And again the way in which the matter was presented is extremely good. Right from the fundamental thing protection of these things and geographically studies all these. So excellent sir the vast information given in all the days I was thinking 15 days bomb single photo voltaic how to get on like this I thought. But the time went so quick that I feel that still somewhat like that sir thank you very much sir. Thank you very much sir. I feel that every college should possess your videos and lectures like that in the e-libraries so that the next generation also will be benefited from the lecture sir. Sir one more participant one. Thank you sir. A lot of information has been imparted to us for the participants who are present in the college. We get a lot of information sir. We can make the students to know about this solar photo voltaic cells because in the future 4 to 5 years lot of power will be generated from this solar photo voltaic cells. So we can make students to do lot of mini projects with the information given to us. Thank you thank you sir. Okay thank you very much Mr. Chandra for your very active coordination. Principal is here sir he wants to say just hi to you. Please go ahead. Hello thank you and principal of this kite college Dr. Rajaswamy. I have observed the very interesting part is from such a distance you could speak to your people. And we this is the best utilization of this e-learning as well as electronic media which we are able to utilize for the benefit of the students. Definitely we would like to have such more sections in future on different topics and the engineering students are really benefited and not only in the present field as well as they update their knowledge from a far of distance from the inputs given by such experts like you and the professor on this. I like that our students are really very much of the appreciation for the program. I thank you for the total presentation and all the best to you. Thank you. Okay thank you to you and the sharing the wonderful experience. The fact that you know we two of us cannot actually reach all the teachers in the country and that is why we have been teaching thousand teachers. So I request all of you to take this forward and you also become kind of excellent teacher and take this photo take forward. So thank you very much. Now I am going to KCEES college Jalgaon and after that Manipal. Professor Meenakshi. How is the coordinator? This is Meenakshi Chaudhary from KCE Engineering. First of all I am very much thankful to IITB and MNRE for donating us the instruments. This course is very helpful for all the participants. All the participants have enjoyed this course theory as well as lectures as well as practical especially practical school. Sir I will hand over the mic to our head of the institute Professor Paude. He will talk to you. Then some of the participants from our remote centre. Good afternoon sir. I am Sanjay Paude. I am vice principal of KCE Engineering college. Our society and college is very thankful to IIT Bombay for organizing such a wonderful session for the multidisciplinary people. Similarly the kind of hands on that has been organized along with the good lecture series. I feel that within the North Maharashtra region this non-conventional energy sources and solar technology that is going to play a lot of key role in the coming situation. Similarly if it is possible for IIT to just give us all the inputs so that we can handshake with IIT, MNRE and other institutions to bring this technology to the rural masses nearby as a prototyping mode. So I hope that IIT gives us more workshops of this kind on other aspects of electrical engineering like wind power or wireless sensor networks or data warehousing, data mining. So we are very much keen to go for such kinds of workshops in future. Thank you very much sir. I now invite some other participants. Good afternoon to everybody. I am Deepak Murati from Jalgaon. This is my first experience to attend such a type of workshop. In 10 days, two faculty members give lot of information about photovoltaic. We all are going in our back students' life days. We learn lot of things which are not able to tell in 3 minutes. But this workshop is 100% successful because there is 10 to 15 minutes for question and answer hours. But every day this question and answer hours requires a lot of time. Thank you very much. Sir, my name is Vipasha Patra. I just would like to take 2 minutes from you. Sir, I feel very honourable, very honoured to be a part of IIT Bombay even though it was for a very short span of time. But I feel really very honoured and I wish that this opportunity comes to me each and every time. And sir, I just had a request. I mean previously also presented that if we could get some help about power electronics from Fernandez sir, means any book from Fernandez sir regarding power electronics, answer the answers of the quiz. The quiz which was given to us if you could get the answers of those quiz means we could know that where we went wrong. Thank you sir. Okay, thank you very much. Definitely we will provide you the answers of the quiz that will be uploaded. The answers are already known and I think Professor Fernandez is getting so much request for writing a book that he has no other option to write it. If he is not writing, you know, keep firing emails to him and I am sure he will write it. So now I am going to Manipal and after that Bhopal. It was really a very well planned, structured workshop and very well executed and as well as delivered. I must congratulate you as well as thank you for all the support and cooperation extended from your side. And I just wanted, there is a request from my side. Can you please put a word of advice to all participants so that how to take this one forward? After this workshop it should not be a full stop. The activity should go on. Can you please put a word on this for all participants? Okay, so I mean as I have been telling for the last 10 days, Professor Fernandez must have also been telling that, you know, the best way to take it forward is to do a lot of homework. And one of the requirement of this course is to actually contribute to the question, answer. You may contribute to the power electronics. You may contribute to the development of the kids. Some participant has already mentioned that they can contribute in the further improvement of the kids. So by each participant, if we can contribute in a different way, it will become, it will be a step forward and that will help you to push yourself forward and the people around you also. Yes, sir. Actually, I am Professor Shanwag from Kenra Engineering College. I am very passionate about the solar energy. And I am a life member of Solar Energy Society of India in our college. MNRA Approved Akshayurja Club was functioned from 2006. And this year we had a student chapter of SESI Solar Energy Society of India, where in which 150 students enrolled. And actually we are planning how to go ahead. Certainly your module of this solar energy, whatever you provide, you will be an excellent modular, very innovative. It will be helpful us in educating the students where they will be passing on to the village levels. So it will be very much helpful. And under the present scenario of Indian conditions, you should not stop at our education level. You should reach the poorest of the poor, as you know, presently 50% of the villagers under darkness. And this is only the thing Solar Energy, being a distributed power system, it can immediately be implemented on a very large scale. On this occasion, I would like to remember and one message to Dr. Hari Shande of our local man from Manipa, from this region, who is also a Megastay Award winner. He will be taking this, carrying forward this solar energy to the very remote area village level. Thank you very much sir. Hello sir, I am Professor Nagraj working here. And I think daily we see, we look at the sun in the sky. But I think whenever I see the sun in the sky, I also see sun in Mr. Professor Solanki himself. He has so much given to us all these 10 days. And I think all the young people here should learn a lot of things from him. I think how to deliver the lectures and all those things, a lot of things to learn. And I think you have, I have seen the real sun throughout the day here all the 10 days. Thank you very much. Okay, thank you very much. I will change my name from Chetan Solanki to Sun Solanki. Thank you sir. Okay, Dr. Rishikesh, I must particularly thank you because you have been one of the more active coordinator. You have been sending me emails morning, evening. Thank you very much for really coordinating. And I am sure all the participants of your college must have enjoyed. Thank you. MNIT Bhopal, Dr. Ranganikar. Please accept my hearty congratulations. Dr. Vasi, Professor Kanan. Dr. Solanki, Professor Fernandez. Dr. Farke, Mukta Ma'am, Seema Ma'am and all the team members for this successful program. As per request, our director has come here for this valedictory function. So, I am handing over this mic to our director, Dr. Appukuttan KK sir. I am very happy that the national wide conferencing or teaching aid is going to doing on the solar panels all over India. And I congratulate IIT Bombay for doing an excellent job because people are not aware about the solar heat so that this is worldwide, it will, national wide it will go so that it can reach to the public very effectively because it is those people who could trained, they know where it is available, what are the utility, what is the efficiency that can easily implement in villages and urban area. Once again I congratulate everybody for this program. Of the participants to give their feedback on this program. Very good afternoon. First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks to MNRE and IIT Bombay who have given us such kind of platform very much like a student pressure also because we have solved lot of tutorials, experiment sessions as well. It was wonderful experience for all of us to here IIT professors Chetan sir and Fernandes sir. As a participant, I can say that this workshop as I am from. Okay MNRE, Bhopal there is some problem with it. I would like to express my thanks for delivering such good sessions for all these days. We enjoyed all these 15 days through the virtual environment that has been provided and I was little bit apprehensive about the effectiveness of this environment but it has proved to be very effective. We enjoyed all the lectures and also the practical experiences have been provided very effectively and we have got a good exposure to the solar voltaic technology. Thank you. This is Thaluk Singh. The 10 days IST workshop on solar photovoltaics was organized in very excellent manner sir. Sir, I would like to give one suggestion if you please listen. I would like to give a suggestion that more focus should be given in future on the application part of the photovoltaic technology. We understood very well your lectures sir, very learning one. We understood the basic technology and how it was formed and we got full cooperation from our coordinator side particularly for conducting that. Okay, thank you very much MNIT Bhopal. Again there are many participants and we kept answering many questions. I was impressed by MNIT that they have a department of energy and already had an undergraduate program which due to some reason could not continue. But I want to request the principal sir from MNIT Bhopal to kind of again restart the course because it is very much required and I think MNIT should be proud of such course that it was there in MNIT. Agartala, Professor Bhattacharya. Sir, a very wonderful event here. It is indeed a complete success in our place and I am thankful to IIT Mumbai for giving us the opportunity for organizing this important workshop here and also I am thankful to my participants who has attended very sincerely this program in spite of very severe cold here. And I am also thankful to my colleagues, authority of NIT Amartala for their generous support for successful implementation of the program. And last thing I would request you on behalf of my institute and my department to come our place so that we can extend our knowledge further in this field. Thank you sir. Okay, thank you very much for the invitation. Sure we will use this opportunity to come to your college and please continue the PV learning and distribution of the knowledge of the photovoltaic. Okay, NIT Calicut after that NIT Trichy and PhD college Coimbatore. Yeah, hello Arun, go ahead. All the participants here at NIT Calicut, we had really a nice land experience. We had really a very nice learning experience. I would like to thank IIT Bombay, NCPR, MNHRI for giving us a very good lab. Actually we will be using it for our regular class work also. Thank you so much for that. I will hand over to one of our participants for feedback. Anyway, the last 10 days are quite interesting for all the participants in terms of lecture and practical sessions. I would like to congratulate both the professors, BG Pannandas and Prof. Solangi for delivering the nice lectures. And further the whole participants get inspired from your talk and especially I want to express that I have prepared an article in my mother tongue Malayalam to publish in the local newspaper regarding the cleaning of the options. Okay, thank you sir. NIT Trichy. It was really great and wonderful. I have been telling my colleagues, friends and even family members for the past 10 days that I have been so fortunate to participate in this workshop. That was because of so many good reasons. It is a great job on the part of the government of our nation and on the part of the solar energy expect Prof. Solangi. The venture in the name of workshop is highly relevant and essential in the present global scenario. We wish many more such meaningful and useful activities to come up for everyone's benefit in the days to come. It is not an exaggeration if I say that. That was a 10 days a feast to all of us. Our quest and thirst of knowledge were very well treated in the field of energy. Continuation of learning and furthering the amalgamation among ourselves through the services of Moodle portal by the extension of usage time up to a period of one year is also very good. We wish this kind of services to be available for other academic and social domains to very soon. What we have learned is not only energy, solar energy, but also learned how a workshop should be, how a presentation should be, how laboratory manuals and classes should be and many more. The overwhelming enthusiasm and support by MHAD and its alleys have truly improved our academic and research capabilities and have stirred up in us our curiosity, boldness, perseverance, excitement and patience and the need for humility and ethics. For this we express our sincere thanks and gratitude to them. The prompt, gentle and polite treatment by our remote center NIT Trichy, its coordinator, Professor Saravana Ilango and his team members deserve special thanks for their dynamic and dedicated services. We must say that Professor Solange and Professor Fernandez have become immortal in our humble memories. It is great and exciting to think that we all have been engaged. Okay, okay, let me stop. Thank you, thank you. On behalf of all the participants I thank you for organizing this wonderful workshop which motivated us extensively. You really made us to experience the IIT student life from here itself by giving assignments, tutorials and quiz etc. One suggestion from our side is one session may be arranged with MNRE on MNRE remote center coordinator Dr. Ilango for organizing this wonderful workshop in our institute. Thank you once again. Just last words, sir. Today's happened to be the Dakshina and the second thoughts this day of the year. So it's a nice coincidence that you're ending up this session today. Thank you. Oh, wonderful, yeah. Which means that you attended my first lecture seriously. So today, yeah, it is the South most position of the sun and the sun will start tracking back. So thank you very much, Professor Saravana. I think at your center also it has very active participation from your side and all the participants. And thank you very much. Okay, Varangal. Program is most valuable and very much useful, sir. And it has given more practical experience, particularly the experimentation. Our participants really enjoyed, sir. And the participants are I think very much motivated and they are requesting the experimental equipment. If you supply it to their institutes, I think they are very much anxious in that point, sir. Particularly the manufacturing, I think about the lecture classes, manufacturing details of silicon cells. I think that detail we are enjoying, sir. We have enjoyed that lecture, particularly and also regarding the electrical topic. Professor Fernandez, sir, I think he has given very valuable information. Thank you, sir. I think my, I am requesting my, our director will speak, sir. I am Professor Srinivasthu, director of the native Varangal. And in fact, yeah, this program has given a very good input to all our participants. I am told that they enjoyed the both practical sessions and lectures. And they have given the feedback that many such programs are organized through this software. They would like to participate in future activities. So everybody has enjoyed and it's a wonderful show. And my congratulations to all of you and to our group from native Varangal. Thank you. Participant wants to say a few words regarding this program. Sir, thank you very much, sir, for organizing such a wonderful program. And most of my doubts were cleared. But sir, my one suggestion, sir, that at least one day should be dedicated for the research that are going, that are going on in this area. Because any education without knowing what is happening to the latest research is incomplete. So I think that today, at least the last day, should be spent completely towards the latest research that is going on in this area. And of course, Fernandez was actually in between, he was trying to explain what are all our research doubts. We are really thankful to him. But actual research that is going on that we want to know, sir. And first day in the inaugural also, we were very much happy that we could hear to the ministry, Farooq Abdullah and to the MHRD secretary and yesterday MNRE secretary also. Similarly, in the last day, at least using our ABU software, experts from different IITs, if they can spend half an hour and what is the research that they are doing in this area. Without any doubt section, so that half an hour they can tell what they know or what they are doing in the latest thing. That will be really helpful and education would have been complete, sir. That is what I feel. And this is my suggestion. Yeah, thank you very much. I think it is a wonderful suggestion to plan sometime where you can talk about the research that is going in the area which is being taught. So definitely we will take care of that. I would like to thank director for taking time to come out for this function. And thank you very much to the coordinator also. Thank you. NIT, Kurukshetra after that. We will again go to Niranjali. Convected in Rappasatavalli and other organizations. It was a very nice course. Actually in the beginning, some of the part is different. Your operate of the course, I think is reaching to you. So reaching to you? Okay. But later on, everybody seems to be interested in the course, especially in the practical course and others. But some of them will like to say something in the future. So I think it was a nice course of participation. I think I want to commentate that I had to go there. So do you think it is workshop like a mayoral program where you can participate in other remote areas and attend this type of lecture, useful lectures? And I think that the sense of sense of solitude was a good lecture that made our lives easier. Thank you so much. Professor Sagarbhi, hello. I thank the students for making our lives in India by teaching this type of subject. I am a teacher in physics at NIT Kurukshetra. And I assure you that the settlement and the settlement by taking the kids from the coordinator here. And also if you provide us that separately then it is quite otherwise I will take some then. And also I assure you that some part of the students which is taught by you. Okay. Yeah. Thank you very much to Dr. Dahia and all the participants. So Dahia also mentioned me that initially it was response was slow but later all the participants really got excited. So thank you very much for taking active part. And as one of the participants assured me, so I fully take your assurance that it will be taking it forward. Thank you. Okay. Gandhi Nagar. Yeah. This is Vrijesh and Professor Indraj Mukherjee from PDPU, Gandhi Nagar. Professor Solanki, our hearty congratulations to you and the whole team member. You know this was a wonderful experience for these young teachers from polytechnics and all over engineering college in Gujarat. They could learn lot of things and here clarify their ideas on photovoltaics and their applications. And in addition to that from our university point of view we have taken initiative to show them one megawatt live power plant. So that they can you know get more experience about what the reality is. So our congratulations really to you for such wonderful workshop. Namaste. This is Sneeta Joshi. Sir, I would like to thank you for this workshop and I am really impressed by the name Ekulavir. Who did his study without his teacher? The teacher was virtual. Here you are. So you are drawn up for us. So we all are getting knowledge from you. If we are in real presence of you, I think it will be our great pleasure. So in near future I would like to meet you and we all are trying to come to IIT Bombay. I am also thankful to Dr. Patthak who told us that how we should design a question paper. I am also thankful to Dr. Fernandes but we could not solve his assignment. We are very sorry for that. I am thankful to our coordinators. Dr. Mukhopadhyay and his PDPU team. So we will see you sir. This is the tradition of our Rig Veda. It is said that always focus your attention at the center of the solar system where the sun, the supreme power of universe resides and you are going in the same direction. All the congratulations to you sir. Thank you very much. Okay. Thank you very much. I think Dr. Prajesh has done a wonderful job in coordinating this whole workshop. He has also been very active. So congratulations to you and to the participants also. And good to see that you enjoyed and wonderful that you actually taken them to 1 megawatt power plant. It would be nice if you can organize this visit for the other remote centers also. So they will also learn a lot from that practical seeing the power plant. So thank you very much for that. ESG College Co-M2, Dr. Chandran. It was very interesting. You have supplied the kids in time. It was very wonderful. And also we enjoyed the lectures. Your lecture and Dr. Fernandes lecture. We are already running a course from 99 onwards an ME Energy Engineering course. We are also having a 10 kilowatt solar plant. So all our participants they participated in a very well. Some of them they visited the plant also our plant also. I will pass on this to one of the participants. He will explain you her experience. So good evening. All our participants had a very good time. And we actually had the intricacies are in other words I could say that we are empowered with the intricacies of the solar PV system. And this is much wanted today because the skilled engineers as you said that solar PV has got a bright career and bright future. We need a skillful engineers and researchers and I think this is the time for us to express our gratitude to all of you people and structures and transforming us into a very skillful researchers and engineers. And another thing which I would like to tell us as Professor Patak said teaching 1000 teachers program has wonderful step in this particular program. And this will definitely transform the education system in a very good way. So one two things which I would like to say in this particular time was what kind of support we can get from the NCPRE for the researchers in the solar PV system. And for the participants those who have attended this program this is one question which I would like to put forth to the committee. And the other question is our students are already motivated with the solar PV course and having that as an elective course to be offered is also clearly the requirement has been understood by the students and also as a faculty. But still in placement point of view because nowadays the students always think in the placement point of view and what kind of motivation we can provide to the students that they will be encouraged to take this as a course in their career. Apart from the PG I am talking about for the UG students and so these are the two questions which I would like to ask to the organizers. And on behalf of the PRG remote center participants we would like to express our sincere gratitude for empowering us with the knowledge on PV systems. And also to the local coordinator Dr. Chandran who had helped us in all the experimental activities and the laboratory schedules. In fact he has also explained us regarding the harmonics and we analyze the inverter functions in a very good way. Thanks for the organizers for having given us the opportunity. Thank you. Thank you very much Mr. Chandran and the participant regarding your questions what kind of support and what research facility the professor Vashi is here. Somebody is also asking regarding the photovoltaic users program so I think in the we can discuss it towards the end of it what kind of support we can provide. And as the photovoltaic program in the country and in the world is developing to a larger scale I am sure students other than teaching will find a lot of opportunities in the industry. As an engineer as a researcher as a technician and there are so many possibilities I think that will unfold in near future. So now I am going to the PVG Pune. Thanks a lot for tremendous efforts by you and your team and Fernandes sir. My participants are enjoying your lectures, huge quiz everything your books also and lectures and practicals also. I am Dr. Mishal Sia head of the electrical engineering department. On behalf of PVG COET I am profusely thankful to IIT Bombay and MNRE for conducting such a nice exam. All the participants are very much impressed by this workshop and they learnt a lot from the theory and the practical sessions. One thing I would like to mention is that the practicals are very alive and simple and basic research in the PVG can be taken up with this basic information. Once again I am thankful to you Fernandes sir and Mukta Atre madam. I have attended such type of distance learning program for the first time and it is very nice experience. All of us enjoyed all the theory as well as practical session. I would like to mention here that the practical sets are very nice and we would like to include some of the experiments in our undergraduate course like material science and renewable energy in our college. Thank you sir. Myself Dr. Vilas Parande from Barbit College of Engineering Pune. The course content design was excellent sir and it is well balanced for interdisciplinary faculty. Then the time management which you have provided is very good and well planned with lectures, practicals, follow tutorials and assignments also. The online quiz competition really healthy in our entire participants and we take it very seriously and appear just like an examination. So we have really enjoyed the life of students over here. And the module facility which is provided is very good infrastructure including audio, video, internet facility, library which are present in PVG, hospitality also is very good. So thanks to coordinator, principal, entire class but not least we say that we congratulate on behalf of all the participants to IIT Bombay by giving a big clamp, standing clamp to you. Thank you very much. It is so kind of you to appreciate the effort but the better appreciation is of course take it forward and train another 40 students each year in photovoltaic. I would like to thank Professor Gowri. She has also been very active in participating and in all the event and I think the workshop is very nicely conducted at PVG college. So thank you coordinator for that also. Thank you.
