th March, 2017 dawned bright as the Kengeri Brahmasthaanam, Mata

Amritanandamayi Math, Bengaluru, witnessed the divine presence of Satguru Mata

Amritanandamayi Devi, who is fondly known as Amma.

As the first rays caressed the city, ritualistic chants of Amma’s Archana and Lalita

underprivileged women.

In the satsang, Amma emphasized the importance of developing a meditative mind and loving nature. Following this,

Amma led the devotees during bhajans and the Manasa puja. The most awe-inspiring vision was Amma’s darshan,

wherein she hugged every individual with impartial, soothing and unconditional love.

Seva activities undertaken by students and faculty of the school, in collaboration with the residents of the Ashram

included serving of food, cleansing of utensils, and managing the throng of devotees. The selfless service of volunteers

from Amrita Vidyalayam and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham was lauded by Amma and all the attendees.

Students of ASE-B showcased an array of cultural programmes. Vedanta, the cultural club, initiated the program with

soulful renderings of bhajans, which was later followed by euphonious melodies praising Lord Shiva from Raaga, the

music club. A mime emphasising the essence of empathy in life and a skit highlighting how ignorance is the word when

another is in trouble, were presented by Abhinaya, the drama club. Narthana, the dance club, depicted the fiercely

protective nature and wrath of Lord Shiva through Rudra Tandava. A graceful classical dance by the girls was an

offering to Shakti, the embodiment of power and the Yoga Dance was an expression of unparalleled agility, focus and

attendees learnt a lot about Chatbots as a user friendly

tool to help people find information.

On the second day, attendees were introduced to

JavaScript by Mr. Madhu Kiran (S6,CSE), an

executive member of FACE. Mr. Prashanth

explained the need to understand the fast growing

technology of Progressive Web Apps (PWA) which

use modern web capabilities to deliver an app-like

user experience, and traced the fundamentals of web

server and scripting codes of PWA.

The two speakers shed light on the various

applications of and advancements in this trending

technology. The session ended with the declaration of

the winners of the Botathon, who showcased

creativity and unique trains of thought. The event

came to an end with a Q&A session, which imparted

a lot of knowledge on the aspects related to the

coding.

Mr. Nandawadekar Ajit Dattu (S4, M.Tech. in Power

Electronics) has received “Young Researcher Award”

and won 1st prize worth Rs. 60000/- for his work

“Multifunctional Induction Machine” in IET

Karmveer Expo-2017, held at Nashik, Maharashtra

during 21st – 22

nd March, 2017.

The main contribution was to configure an induction

motor to operate using single phase as well as three

phase AC supply. This is achieved by modelling the

induction motor as a welding transformer through

some modification in the stator winding. Welding

transformer requires low voltage and high current for

joining of two metal parts by electrical arc welding.

The running and starting winding of the single phase

operation are placed in the same slots that are used

for the three phase operation. So at a time anyone of

them can be used to supply or produce excitation in

order to employ rotation of rotor.

Talk on “Renewable Energy Technologies in Power

Generation”

On 1st March, 2017 as a celebration of Eco Week, a

talk on Renewable Energy Technologies in Power

Generation was held by Prakriti, in collaboration with

IEEE PELS Student Branch chapter. The talk was

hosted by Mr. B. Satya Sripada (S6, EEE), Vice

Chair, IEEE PELS and Mr. Thirumal Reddy (S4,

ECE), Executive Member, Prakriti. Mr. Sripada

spoke about the limited life of non-renewable

resources and the urgency of transitioning to

renewable resources for power generation. He spoke

in detail of different sources of renewable energy such

as Solar Energy, Wind Energy, Hydro Energy and

Bio Energy. Mr. Reddy spoke on the consequences to

humanity and the planet if renewable energy sources

are not integrated to international power production.

Seminar on “Renewable Energy and Energy

Conservation for Sustainable Development Including

Hands on training”

EEE PELS Student Branch Chapter of Amrita School

of Engineering, Bengaluru hosted a seminar on

“Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation for

VYOM - The Astrophysics club has procured a celestial telescope "Celestron 130 EQ" partially funded by the

School Management.

The club aims at the display of the night sky including moon and its surface features, Jupiter and its satellites

etc., celestial objects to the students and faculty of our college. Further the telescope will be developed with a

motor as a project from the members of the VYOM in the coming years which can help one to track various

celestial events with ease.

Regular night sky shows will be a part of the VYOM activities from now on, due to the existence of the

telescope. The scope is further planned to be upgraded for spectroscopy studies of celestial objects which can

also be a amateur research work for the beginners. The work on spectroscopy studies will be planned in the

coming years.
