Those are the glimpses from Regional Tech Fest - 2024, an initiative by Dept of Tech Education, AP.
A 2 days event started on 3rd Dec at Andhra Pradesh, Kakinada.
This Regional Tech Fest is a need of hour which would foster innovation, inspire creativity, and connect students with industry leaders. It promotes skill development, entrepreneurship, and technological growth, positioning the state as a hub for innovation and economic progress.
This is an exceptional platform for various polytechnic’s students to showcase their skills and we are pretty sure that all the attendees including chief guest, guest of honour and special invitees would be mesmerized with student’s efforts.
Thanks to various generous donors for making this event happening including Dr Kumar Raja( EC Member – APTOSA) for his contribution of INR 50K towards this inaugural function. Our best wishes to entire team which is organizing this event and our (APTOSA’s) continuous support will be always there. To throw some light on APTOSA, APTOSA was established and registered way back in 2003 by a team of old students headed by Late Sri Chikala Suryanarayana garu. Under his leadership we celebrated Diamond Jubilee of APT in 2006 after undertaking lot of development activities like roof repairs, constructing toilet blocks for girls, budling septic tanks, interior and exterior painting of the APT main building. We also created an AC E-Class Room. In the recent past we undertook repairs of 330 windows and doors, rewiring, renovation of all toilets with water facility, construction of a new cycle shed, pest control to mention a few. We also supplied RO Plant, 100ceiling fans, 10 wall mounting fans, cut machine to Auto lab, repairs of Motors and Generators in Electrical lab, Gravity apparatus and UPS in Civil Lab, partition for Electronics Lab, double desks for 2class rooms of Mechanical Department a Gross cutter, 250 armless chairs, 20open racks and 8Almirahs and a digital Library. We spent about ₹100lakhs including providing the work of 5000 man-days, spending about ₹40Lakhs for their wages. Two consecutive District Collectors funded ₹5Lakhs each to APTOSA and that speaks about the credibility, transparency of APTOSA and its activities. We did our part in getting the National Board Accreditation for CIVIL and MECHANICAL Engineering Sections of APT. All the above is said only to bring awareness among all the participants and old students.
Thank you,
