STUDENTS KART DESIGN CHALLENGE

It was an amazing experience to view Students Kart design Challenge of the first season. Students participated with high enthusiasm and spirit. These programs not only help students understand better about their curriculum, but also give adequate scope of development in the field of automobiles and efficient usage of fossil fuels. Students inherit talents were tapped in the most appropriate manner. These programs to be continued in future too, so that it will help students in enhancing their skills and also the nation at large in the longer run. I wish Them a good luck in all their endeavors.

As one of the prize givers on stage at the Season 1 of SKDC, I had the privelage to observe and interact with students from many engineering colleges. I found the enthusiasm of the students is palpable and infectious. Students had mastered the various intricacies of a automobile design, solved real problems by putting together a racing kart at a shoestring budget. I felt no challenge was difficult for these youngsters. What they can achieve was proved. SKDC promoted by SMAE is the right step in that direction. I congratulate SMAE Team for taking this initiative and creating a platform for students to showcase their talents.
