Many Congratulations. You all make Techno NJR proud.
A win of this level is certainly a matter of great pride and joy for all the faculty members and students Electronics
Department of Techno NJR. I well remember those long days and nights when Ritvik, Himmat and Roshni worked without
looking at clock orcalendar. It filled all of us with great emotion when we watched this trio and other 4 groups of ECE
students working whole night, on holidays for this hackathon. Their joy on crossing the first level and getting in reward
Arduino 101 and sensors was one of the most touchy moments in my academic life. I am so thankful to ECE Faculty
members Yogendra Solanki and Vivek Jain who were present all the time to motivate and morally support the students. I can
not forget to mention the names of Chandrashekhar and Rajendra the excellent technical staff of Techno NJR who gave their
valuable suggestions whenever these students needed while building the system waterproof. Thanks also go to faculty
Saurabh Chaturvedi also who often took care to drop the students home safe when they worked till late. I have truly enjoyed
the joy, support and motivation extended by students of EE and EEE also. I am glad to see the ECE 1st year 2017 also
working on similar projects and their dedication which they demonstarated within 10 days of joining the instituteby working
morning 8 to evening 8 and on holidays..I am sure all the first year of Techno NJR will bring laurels to the institute in near
future.
