 We have now Nirmah University at Amdabad. Let's go over to Nirmah University, Amdabad. Good afternoon sir. I am myself Papnil Jani from the Silorak College of Engineering and Technology. I am attending the CFD workshop since last 10 days at the Institute of Technology, Nirmah University. As far as the course concerns, that CFD course is a very advanced course and I am happy that I can attend this course. The professor Puranik has explained all the fluid mechanics phenomena very well and the professor Sharma has created animations very well. Without the animation it is very tough to understand the finite volume method and finite difference method. So I would like to appreciate the efforts put by both the professors with the clappings. So here all the members we are at the same time I would like to appreciate the peace of mind of the both the professors because many of the questions arise are repeated so many times and they answered it very well with the peace of the minds. So I would also like to appreciate that things and another thing sir I would expect from the IT Bombay that this type of the course from the aerospace department for the subject of aerodynamics it should be carried out. So the aeronautics people will get the benefit of it. So I am again very happy and thank you very much sir. Thank you very much professor Jani for your comments. Your observation about the need for a course in aerodynamics of similar nature is well taken. I will personally speak to professor Sudhakar and other senior people in aerospace department to perhaps try and offer such a program. What happens usually is that departments such as aerospace engineering are only at very few places in the country and the one fear is that when we are planning a thousand teacher workshop where there would be thousand teachers across the country who would be participating in such a program. However my opinion is that thousand teachers or ten thousand teachers is merely a model that model should never put us into a thinking that if there are few people we should not worry about them. That is completely incorrect. I am of the opinion that even if there are two hundred teachers in the country who are interested in a particular discipline or an area just because they come from two hundred different places we must not neglect them. In fact for that very reason we should organize such programs using technology such that some experts from IIT Bombay and other places can reach out to these two hundred people. My own ambition is that I should be able to call just one participant at a remote center and as long as I have three hundred such participants in three hundred remote centers I should still be able to run this program meaningfully. We are wondering how exactly we could make such a model affordable in terms of funding problem. But the point is well taken. Thank you very much for your observations. We will go over to VNIT in Akpur which has been one of the earliest remote centers in our endeavor. This was much before we started these MHRD programs. VNIT has been with us ever since I first started the distance education program in the year 2000. So over to you VNIT. Good evening sir. My name is Yogesh Dhote. One of the participants at VNIT remote center. I am an associate professor at Hindustan College of Science and Technology. It is in North India, Mathura. It is coming under Mahama Technical University, Noida. Sir the facility at the remote center VNIT was excellent in terms of classroom delivery, the live sessions, the food and accommodation. I really appreciate the efforts carried away by the remote center coordinator Professor A.S. Dhoblaim, Professor P.S. Kulkarni and subordinate team members particularly for their hospitality. The hospitality provided by them was excellent at this center. I am hardly thankful to Professor Puranik, Professor Atul Sharma for excellent deliberations in a very simple manner. Finally I am very much obliged to Professor D.B. Pathak, Dr. Mukta Atre, the ISD, the MHRD and total IIT faculty members for their collaborative efforts for organizing, for offering such a valuable course for technical teachers. One thing I would like to point out here particularly in North India. Basically I belong to North India but we have so many remote centers, so many participants coming from the central India, from the southern part of the India, from the western part of the India. But particularly North India is there. Most of the institutions, the number of the institutions is also too large there but the remote center quantity is not in a respectable manner. So I am just pointing out some space is there to increase the remote center there. Thank you sir. Thank you Professor Yogesh Kote. A very important point that you made about the non-availability of adequate number of remote centers in some states. I think you put it very politely but let me tell you this unfortunate situation has not arisen because of any lack of effort from our side. I had personally written letters to over 3,500 colleges in the country asking them to find out whether they are interested in becoming remote centers. We again wrote when I started to expand the number of remote centers for the more massive program which could address 10,000 teachers I once again wrote to a large number of people. Unfortunately every time we write to people across the country there are more and more requests from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat. Very recently we had a few requests from states like Rajasthan, Haryana and Punjab but we did not get any requests from states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Orisha and West Bengal. I would entirely agree with you that a program of this nature which could benefit a very large number of teachers across the country there is no reason to deprive a very large number of teachers in these states. My personal request to Professor Yogesh would be that since he comes from Mathura and a college in Mathura would he take upon himself to carry my personal request to his own college director provided of course the college meets the necessary norms of infrastructure and other things and find out whether his own college would be interested in becoming a remote center. My own plan Professor Yogesh is to have about 500 remote centers across the country within the next one year and out of these I want at least 200 due remote centers by the month of November so that we can conduct our next workshop in the December vacation at many more places. Ideally teachers working in a city should not have to travel to any other city in order to attend the workshop. Of course there are exceptions when there could be only one college with few faculty members at a remote place those people may have to travel but this is where I am working for I am appealing not only to Professor Yogesh Kote but through him to all other participants here those of you who come from the states which I mentioned and even other states impact please go back and check up with your college authorities whether they would be interested in becoming a remote center. We have a permanent page on our website where any such college which is interested can click can fill up the information and our colleagues could go back and read the information and try to see whether that college could become a remote center. I appeal to all of you to help us increase our reach further across the country but more so in those specific states that I mentioned. As regards VNIT coordinators I am aware of at least Professor Kulkarni who I think is involved in practically every course there is the remote center coordinator there Yes, so Professor Kulkarni my personal thanks to you for all the extraordinary work that you have been doing at VNIT Nagpur. Thank you so much. We will now go over to Truba College Indore. Over to you Truba College. Sir I am Dipendra Patak from Chamele Devi group of institutions attending the workshop at remote center Truba. Sir we are very thankful to you Dr. Puranik and Dr. Sharma for making us let know about the CFD as we should like to make a note that CFD is not yet introduced as a regular curriculum in this part of the world and undergraduate and postgraduate courses but due to this workshop we are encouraged to do so. We would also like to thank Mr. Vishay Shagraval for his efforts in making the CYLAB codes very interactive and easy for us as well as the workshop coordinators at Truba Mr. Rupesh Tiwari sir and Mr. Rajesh Verma sir for their efforts for making us feel comfortable in the remote center. Thank you sir. Thank you so much for your comments. I really appreciate your observation about the support in CYLAB that you get. Many times we forget that for all the excellent academic work that we do as teachers both in teaching and researching it is a whole lot of efforts from our other junior colleagues such as our students and the project staff which makes great things possible. So I would also like to join you in thanking Yogesh. Thank you so much. We now go over to KJ Somiya College. They are of course in Mumbai and a lot closer but physically as I said doesn't matter whether you are 40 kilometers away or 400 kilometers away. Over to you Somiya College. College of Engineering. Working here as professor this college has affected us for the last two years also computational fluid dynamics is one of the courses that I am teaching as an elective. We all appreciated this workshop, 10 day workshop, various topics covered by professor Puranik and professor Sarma all the lecture slides which were extremely illustrative and the lab sessions which has really helped all of us to understand the subject so very much in detail and have been all extremely illustrative. Thank you. I must thank you all for this opportunity given to all of us and we hope this remote center and all of the participants. Thank you sir. Our principal is here. Please I will give the mic to him. I would like to thank the organizers for conducting such a good workshop for the last couple of days and making things which are otherwise very difficult to digest easy to assimilate. Thanks a lot. Thank you. Out and over. Thank you very much. Thank you very much principal madam for making those observations as such as the observations which encourage all of us to continue to work on on this important initiative. I will now go over to R.K. College of Engineering Rajkot. Good evening sir. Professor Bhavik Upadhyay from Shantilal Shah Engineering College Bhavanagar. I am attending this workshop from remote center R.K. College of Engineering Rajkot. First of all I would say really the workshop is very excellent. There is no word to express the feelings. Just to see the success of this workshop really the method of teaching, the deliberation, the depth of knowledge all are very nice. Really we are here 32 participants from this remote center. We are all thankful to MHRD, IIT Bombay. Really the efforts from this institute, coordinators, we are all thankful to coordinators. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. We are very happy to have a center in such a remote western part of the country as Rajkot. In fact I may be jumping the gun but when we begin the workshop for the introduction to research methodologies program from Monday Rajkot is one of the centers. So I have requested the honorable minister for human resources. She is responsible to come and address us. We are still not sure whether he will address us on the morning of 25th or sometime later but whenever he comes I had in mind just to demonstrate the extensive reach that this program has made possible. I wanted to request for a brief interaction from five selected remote centers and I had the five centers in the easternmost, westernmost, northernmost and the southernmost part of the country. We have for that workshop a center in Srinagar, a center in Agartala, a center in Kanyakumari and I had in mind the center in Rajkot. I am very happy to note that the audio visual is very good at the Rajkot center. So thank you so much for your comments and interaction. I will now go over to another partner of ours who has been with us in most of the workshops, Jaipur College Cook us. Over to you. From Jaipur Engineering College Cook us. First of all I would like to thank the eminent professor, Professor Sharma and Professor Purnik for their enlightening lectures. Thank you professors for introducing us to finite volume techniques. Students, scholars here have enjoyed the lectures. I would also like to thank the local organizers over here and they have taken care of us properly. Thank you very much for your kind efforts. Thank you very much. Thank you Professor Gurumandar Singh. Over to you Shastri University. Good evening sir. First of all I thank the ISTE, MHRD and the IIT Bombay team for their excellent efforts in conducting in such a program. Next I would like to thank our remote center Sastra University for their excellent hospitality and the facilities provided here. I also thank the coordinators of Sastra University remote center Dr. Jayraman and Mr. Sairam for their excellent coordination throughout this program. I next thank our teachers, Professor Atul Sharma and Professor Balasandra Purnik for their excellent teaching and their hard work behind the screen and patiently answering all the questions which are of variety. And one or two feedbacks I want to give about this program. These programs will be very much helpful for all the teachers if they are conducted during the vacation periods mostly in the month of May and December. And another thing is since this is a program related to mechanical or civil engineering, the other in the model the subjects related to such branches may be also made access to the noodle account folders, other subjects also. That is my suggestion sir. Thank you and over to you sir. Thank you very much Professor. Point that you made is well taken. It is not easy for us to provide cross access in the model which being a learning management system is organized along rigid partitions to participants registering for a course. However, I assure you that soon when we launch our larger servers and our JUMLA framework based comprehensive website which incidentally will have a model component integrated with it will soon be making all the contents of all the courses easily available and accessible to all the participants of all our workshops in the past and future and even additionally to future prospective participant and even other students and teachers. But unfortunately you may have to wait for it for about three to four months time. We have started working on it. Thanks for your comment. We will now go over to VIT fellow. Over to you sir. My name is Professor Prakash from VIT University. This is an excellent university with extraordinary facilities and first of all please accept our salutations from each one of us for the excellent wonderful job which is done by both the professors, mainly Professor Kuranik and Professor Atul Sharma. They are really very wonderful persons and they have to. So we have actually enjoyed very much the presentations and we have learned quite a lot and from the smiles from our faces you can see that how much we have transformed ourselves in 10 days workshop. So please keep this up in future also. This should not be the first in the last workshop. We would like to have this kind of the workshop with different themes that should be repeated more frequently in future. And also we are also very grateful to the excellent job done by our coordinator here, Professor Sandil Kumar who has taken every care in accommodating us and making us very much sure that we must not miss the session and actually we all attended all the programs very seriously and we are really benefitted very much. So thank you very much once again and wish you good luck and with all of our best regards. Thank you. Thank you Professor Prakash. Thank you for those nice words. We will go to another sister institution, NIT Calicut. Yes, I can see NIT Calicut people over to you. Good evening sir. I am Anju. I am Assistant Professor in Chemical Engineering, Government Engineering College Calicut. I am attending the workshop NIT Calicut. I take this opportunity to thank MHRD and IIT Bombay for this excellent opportunity for us. And also I am extremely thankful to Professor Puryanik and Professor Adul Sharma for their very good excellent class presentation. And I would like to point out that it is a very unique opportunity for me especially for the female community who is often not able to attend such sessions in a remote place. I mean in distant places like IIT Bombay but we are getting a very good opportunity to attend this lecture from the experts in nearby places. It is a very good opportunity. I thank all the coordinators for this and I thank the NIT Calicut for providing us with all the facilities and also the remote coordinator Professor Sudhakar for all his help and arranging everything here. And also one request from our part actually from all our Chemical Engineering fraternity. Actually we are we have actually for the second time I am attending this ISTE workshop. I have attended this heat transfer workshop as well. This is a unique opportunity but still we find it slightly difficult because not difficult exactly just from the mechanical engineering perspective. So we find some difficulties in some places. So my request is to conduct some chemical engineering courses. I mean from the chemical engineering department as well if some courses are offered it would be very very helpful for all of us in chemical engineering teaching fraternity. And thank you very much for all that support. Thank you very much Professor Anju. Your points both the points that you made are important. Particularly the ladies find it very difficult to travel to a remote place. More particularly ladies who have young children will not be able to travel and they would like the facility to be available in this closer to where they stay. The point is well taken and I am very happy that in Coeco itself you are able to attend this lecture, this workshop. The second point that you made I agree with you and I will be again personally going over to my colleagues in chemical engineering department requesting them to perhaps offer programs in their streams. However I just had one observation to make is more to my own colleagues Professor Sharma and Puranik here. Will it not be possible to conduct a program such as CFD as a composite program where you have the core issues discussed and then we request some colleagues from chemical engineering department and some colleagues from aerospace engineering department and some colleagues from civil engineering department to conduct some specific lectures and specific portion and do you think that would be meaningful? Yeah, that is an excellent mix of so that we cover all the different interdisciplinary branches. Without wasting too much of the time of too many parts. Yeah. So, thank you so much. We will work on this approach in future. I will now go over to PVPS Institute of Technology in Vijay Vada. From remote center PVPS IT Vijay Vada Andhra Pradesh. Sir, this program is excellent and amazing and I request the MH charity to conduct these kind of the programs in future also for benefit of the teachers of all over India. And I am thankful to Professor Puranik as well as Sharma for taking the painstaking efforts in conducting this program in such a organized manner. Thank you. Thank you very much. I will go over to MA and IT Bhopal now over to you. Good evening sir. I am Dr. K. R. Aharwal, Aishwet Professor in Magalini Departments. I am very thankful to organizing such type of workshop from IIT Bombay and at the center nearly 40% are attending these workshops and everybody had enjoyed the course very much especially the lecture delivered by Professor Puranik and Professor Sharma and one more request that we have our institute director, Professor Appukuttan K.K. He would like to interact with you. Hello. Good evening. It was a very nice program. Last large number of people are liked the lectures but I could not cut. I missed it but it is a very good coming area. Lot of work is going on computational for dynamic. So the basics and other things it is very helpful for the participants. I got a feedback from them. It was a very excellent program. Thank you very much. Thank you very much Professor. For you to have personally come here and encourage the participants. We are unfortunately only 5 minutes away to the closure and I still have 5 hands raised. I will very quickly go to these institution. The first is about transport technology erode. I would request you to keep your comments as brief as possible. Please go ahead Erode. Thank you very much. IIT Mumbai and the professors especially for the excellent effort what they have taken. So the outside this program was really excellent and really very useful sir. Thank you. Over to you. Thank you so much Professor. We will now go over to St. Joseph College Kerala. See the friends from St. Joseph College Kerala. Over to you. This is Sibi from St. Joseph College of Engineering and Technology Pala. On behalf of all the participants in our remote center I extend my regards and thanks for all distinguished professors at IIT Mumbai for conducting such an excellent program. What I find is that Professor Sharma and Professor Pananik were exceptional in delivering this course on computational fluid dynamics. The way Professor Pananik has started with fluid kinematics was unbelievable and he has gone through all the details of these topics and how he has finished it on last Friday was absolutely unbelievable. I just cannot have more words to describe his lecture. Actually I am a little bit jealous of his students at IIT Bombay because every other day he could hear his lecture. So no more words to describe his lecture. In fact he was really inspirational for his kind of role model for us. And apart from the knowledge he delivered, the way he delivered the language was exceptional and I think I will be carrying that kind of approach to subject in any computational fluid dynamics or any other subject. I will be looking at that sort of deliverance of subject to my students as well. So we feel all of the participants here feel the same thing towards him. Of course Professor Sharma also has done a wonderful job. He has finished the lectures, a solution for the Navier-Stokes equation. It was also very good. So I also have, that's it from my side, and I also have a word of appreciation for our course coordinator that is here, Mr. Jill Sebastian. I think he has made use of that training at IIT Bombay to an exceptional benefit for all of us here. He was running around, he was very active. He was helping us for the lab sessions. Everything was fine in this particular center. So we are hoping to participate in these kind of programs in the future as well. Thanks for all those who made this wonderful program possible for us. Thanks again. We will go over to Periyar Maniyama University of Tanjavur. This is another center which has been working with us for quite some time. Over to you, Tanjavur. Greetings, this is Yasar Arasad from Periyar Maniyama University. First of all, I would like to thank Anbiyafaf, our university, the whole team who began this CFD workshop. And one suggestion, the person who is began is an engineer from the Vikram Sarabhai Space Center. He is complaining about you, why you are restricted only to the faculty, not for the research scholars from such organizations. And really it's very worth, and I can say that the CFD book, whenever we are taking the book, after 10 minutes it will go to my head as a pillow. But now I can say that after going through the workshop, now I can say that whenever here after going through the CFD books, I can say the reference may be our professor slides. Thanks a lot, sir. Thank you everybody. The point that you mentioned about the ISRO scientists is well taken. By the way, every time such a case is referred to me, my heart sinks because the current constraints do not permit me to extend the availability of this interaction to a large number of other people such as our friend from ISRO. But please tell your friend that I am trying to take vigorous steps to ensure that any learner across the country see him or her, a professional or a teacher or a student should be able to benefit from this program. Although we may not be able to offer a certificate from ISD, but in so far as benefiting from the program is concerned, it should be possible for one and all. I have just one more hand raised, which is at RC Patel Institute at Sherpur. We will go over to the RC Patel Institute at Sherpur. Over to you, Sherpur. This is the second time I am at the workshop where Dr. Akul Sharma is a facilitator. I attended the workshop at Karah and that initiative was sparking me to work in the CFD. Not only in generating the course that will help for the students in performing the practicals, but also to use some commercial course that will help us in analyzing the problems related with the research currently I am working in. And thankful to Dr. Akul Sharma and Dr. Puranik for their valuable efforts in conducting this workshop for practicals. We are in the rural area and this workshop will definitely help and encourage all the participants present over here to start doing some research work in the area of computational field dynamics. Thank you sir and thank you IIT Bhande for initiating such a program for the people who are sitting in the rural area so far. Thank you. Thank you so much. With that we come to the end of observations. We are already about four minutes late. I would like to request my colleagues, Dr. Akul Sharma and Dr. Puranik to make some very brief concluding remarks. Over to you Athur. We are overwhelmed by your kind gesture. In fact, I had a special interest that this course should be taught in under as an undergraduate course. I visit different colleges to give invited lectures roughly five different places almost every in the last five years. I would like to thank Professor Fataq and his team for giving me an opportunity with that I could reach to the number which I had never imagined in my life. I would like to thank the people who are behind this work whom we don't see the people who are cameraman or the so these are the people who had been working very hard with continuously with us so we should all thank to them. Now what another thing which I would like to point to before I end is that now the ball is in your court because we have given you lot of material in terms of lecture slides, codes, lab shields. Now it is very important that you go back and work on it otherwise all these efforts will have no value. So we sincerely suggest you that start working on it then only you can start teaching this course and the best way to learn is to start teaching this course. So I hope you will start teaching this so that all this effort finally that's the success I will take when this course is being taught in most of the places in our country. Thank you for everything. Yeah I don't really like these valedictory functions because everyone keeps talking only nice things. Clearly I was expecting some sort of a criticism on some of the things that we have done here but I suppose I will go back and read that at leisure from the from the Moodle. Sure there is sufficient number of comments that have been placed on Moodle which will make us think little better. Jokes apart I think this was a really fantastic experience for all of us and for me personally I think it was the question and answer sessions that were the best and to be honest with you some extremely good questions were asked which have made us think little more and essentially that's going to help us when we go back to our own classrooms next semester and start teaching these courses again. We will keep all those questions in mind. Just to wrap up very quickly what I will request you is to go back to the objectives of the course and make sure that you are satisfied with those in the sense that they have been achieved. As Atul said what you need to do is you have to keep doing this all the time. CFD is one subject which is truly hands on so no matter how many times you listen to someone talking about it it's not going to sink in unless you really really practice it hard and by practicing hard the only way out is to keep writing these codes. You have sufficient material with you as reference material including the excellent codes developed by Vishesh use them as the framework and keep at it that's the only way you are going to really learn CFD. Please feel free to write on Moodle and we will keep answering those to the best of our capability. Thank you very much and I wish you all the best. Thank you so much professor. When I give my concluding remarks I plan for about 15 minutes and carry on for about half an hour at least like most of us teachers do but I think I already made some observations during the interaction so I will restrict myself only to profusely thank first of all all the participants not only for the nice comments that they made now but one for the serious participation which was very obvious through their comments when they were making those comments. I really appreciate that it is only for you that we attempt to do these things. The next of course I would like to thank all the remote center staff starting with the workshop coordinator and the remote center coordinator and including the back end people who are usually not visible as I had said some time ago. Thank you very much. Of course at my end I have already mentioned that I have very strong teams backing this effort led by senior and experienced people like Mukhtar with whom you have been interacting for a long time. You can see Mrs. Jaya Gayathonde who is our finance minister you may not be individually in contact with her but all the remote center coordinators know where the money comes from and how carefully it is monitored. We have Mrs. Kalpana Karnan she is our content manager so when all these contents will go on to the final website it will be through the efforts of her and our team. We also have Mr. Sajjan Dixit he and his team I have really no words to praise it is their tireless efforts because of which we are able to get audio and video quality of such clarity that makes the entire exercise meaningful. Please understand that the medium and its quality is never noticed until something goes wrong and when it goes wrong then only we recognize the people behind the technical people at your end as well as technical people at our end. So, thank you very much you leaders in your teams. I would like to end this concluding session by giving a parting bouquet to two colleagues who have done absolutely extraordinary work. I could conclude that very easily from all the observations that you have made by the way they are great teachers not only as you recognize them but as we the faculty colleagues in IIT and of course most of their students recognize them. Well thank you so much Prasasharma it is something more for your wife rather than for you Prasapurani. Thank you so much and please start working on the advanced course as the people are there. Thank you so much always.
