provided with individual solar lamp kits and guided step-by-step through the
assembly process by Associate Professors and Lab in charge from EEE department Dr.
Geetha, Dr. Usha and Mr. Saravanan. The session focused on understanding the
components of a solar study lamp, including photovoltaic panels, batteries, LED
circuits, and switches, along with safety practices and troubleshooting
techniques. Mr. Velmani – AME and his team were part of this great initiative. <o:p></o:p>This initiative not only
empowered participants with practical skills but also reinforced the message of
energy conservation and self-reliance. To further encourage the application of
the skills learned, each participant was allowed to take their assembled lamp
home, enabling them to use it in real-life situations and support their
educational or household needs. The event concluded with a feedback session and
the distribution of participation certificates. It was well-received by
attendees and marked another successful step by UBA-SRMIST towards rural
upliftment and sustainable development.<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p>        The
event concluded with a heartfelt vote of thanks delivered by Dr.
N. Periasami, Village Coordinator – Keezhathivakkam.
He expressed his gratitude to all the dignitaries, organizers, faculty members,
and participants for making the training program a resounding success. Dr.
Periasami specifically acknowledged the efforts of the Unnat Bharat
Abhiyan team at SRMIST, Ms.Aishwarya.L, Ms.Anju, Mr.Sridhar.N.S and Dr.sathiah

· Hands-on Learning for Sustainability: The Solar
Study Lamp Assembly Workshop provided practical exposure to renewable energy
solutions, empowering participants with knowledge and skills to adopt and
advocate for clean, sustainable energy alternatives.<o:p></o:p>In remembrance of World Earth Day, Unnat
Bharat Abhiyan - SRM Institute of Science and Technology organized a Cycle
Rally and a Solar Study Lamp Assembly Workshop on April 19, 2025, to promote
environmental sustainability and raise awareness about green practices among
students and staff. The rally was flagged off from the Clock Tower Circle,
following an inspiring address by Dr. N. Venkata Sastry, Director of the Career
Center, who highlighted the urgency of banning single-use plastics to safeguard
the planet. Dr. S. Ramya, Associate Professor of EFL and Coordinator of the SRM
Cycle Club, welcomed the participants and announced the launch of a WhatsApp
group to keep members updated on future green initiatives. Dr. V. Thirumurugan,
Associate Director (Campus Life) and UBA Nodal Officer, convened and flagged
off the rally, encouraging participants to embrace eco-friendly lifestyles.
Forty-five students cycled to SRM Care Farm at Gudalur, where they planted
saplings after a healthy breakfast, symbolizing their commitment to a greener
future. The second session featured a hands-on Solar Study Lamp Assembly
Workshop, where participants learned about renewable energy and built
solar-powered lamps as sustainable alternatives to traditional lighting. The
success of the event was made possible by the dedicated efforts of Ms. Anju
(UBA Associate), Mr. Velmani (AME), Mr. Sridhar, and Mr. Rajendran (Maintenance
Department), who ensured the smooth coordination of all arrangements.
Participants were awarded certificates in recognition of their contributions to
environmental awareness. This impactful initiative fostered community
engagement, practical learning, and environmental stewardship, instilling the
values of sustainability and conservation in all who took part.<o:p></o:p>                                     <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmRu9PSLUTsNwKNifGB-FzdvUfsmHFCLyFP8AW7Xzc2q7NI9yl2WHiiaOP4cT47MVRCcGfkDDhN9xPGT2C9ERzNUpTw3b2TeYWNUWNUBP4gQLUFWHHRNgwXhVcnzMO7JNRBfbIZj5Y70f8SFiMbdrurjA3YhTDWyRDTplplC0jpYhcTHSBA5rPlxuTWVs/s1600/5a51bb7b-70f3-4081-bf28-aaf9aec5cbc0.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmRu9PSLUTsNwKNifGB-FzdvUfsmHFCLyFP8AW7Xzc2q7NI9yl2WHiiaOP4cT47MVRCcGfkDDhN9xPGT2C9ERzNUpTw3b2TeYWNUWNUBP4gQLUFWHHRNgwXhVcnzMO7JNRBfbIZj5Y70f8SFiMbdrurjA3YhTDWyRDTplplC0jpYhcTHSBA5rPlxuTWVs/w640-h480/5a51bb7b-70f3-4081-bf28-aaf9aec5cbc0.jpeg" width="640" /></a> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixpbvG4Kt5YhApdVCJ3TcUVLrZb9UzRknj4h74DiBD4ZE_0xbmPyJKDzzj3Hh4lvEMV0LIu3GbJhNBjZ6S2Wg_1DCGR1Ib_0MCToLJ1ntATrrjFxkQiR9ZR3zUoeQajFXy2FctMlNZe_4Y34O0DcfQkweqdGL_pUsNe-wGtH2pd2Kbsh9uoVp9DF3-U2Y/s3840/IMG_3903.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3840" data-original-width="2160" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixpbvG4Kt5YhApdVCJ3TcUVLrZb9UzRknj4h74DiBD4ZE_0xbmPyJKDzzj3Hh4lvEMV0LIu3GbJhNBjZ6S2Wg_1DCGR1Ib_0MCToLJ1ntATrrjFxkQiR9ZR3zUoeQajFXy2FctMlNZe_4Y34O0DcfQkweqdGL_pUsNe-wGtH2pd2Kbsh9uoVp9DF3-U2Y/w225-h400/IMG_3903.jpeg" width="225" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxWmDFiOR52s0gDVCI-UMckEeVBsY3c2VDe3_CPacdVmF2lAaORgsz5lA-CKSUnNCC_Q7OnI348DOzJrJSLax5siVOTYMI1XAjY9Bb5lu4h5Cxs6bf0XkBgNaTbE4BGMQAPgHDkrnEI7tx1q1vvTD86fLmKt5pk-r82AEzu7_b0h7MufJ1kMua7Y2e3uk/s1280/4c240fbe-749e-49a0-b89f-15fbfeec19ef.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxWmDFiOR52s0gDVCI-UMckEeVBsY3c2VDe3_CPacdVmF2lAaORgsz5lA-CKSUnNCC_Q7OnI348DOzJrJSLax5siVOTYMI1XAjY9Bb5lu4h5Cxs6bf0XkBgNaTbE4BGMQAPgHDkrnEI7tx1q1vvTD86fLmKt5pk-r82AEzu7_b0h7MufJ1kMua7Y2e3uk/w640-h360/4c240fbe-749e-49a0-b89f-15fbfeec19ef.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWXLkdTMUtQd0E5bw2VHTdB7Rmh3ua2wsPhbg0Pj70iWKUerwLtJC4PWT8oImIBtbHXJERAlrIwcpg0BAiiDIN1oH6jCD0nR1wlAfFHT-1Grd_T1w1qW9wNYyyfPOZUuoiNe2tYWatX98Px-rjOxqPyxoDk8qvVKLrJzW7fHWJKP2oJ_S7Hz6qhMC7Aac/s1152/f4f51f5b-289b-4eef-b1cb-f2ead946d402.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="520" data-original-width="1152" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWXLkdTMUtQd0E5bw2VHTdB7Rmh3ua2wsPhbg0Pj70iWKUerwLtJC4PWT8oImIBtbHXJERAlrIwcpg0BAiiDIN1oH6jCD0nR1wlAfFHT-1Grd_T1w1qW9wNYyyfPOZUuoiNe2tYWatX98Px-rjOxqPyxoDk8qvVKLrJzW7fHWJKP2oJ_S7Hz6qhMC7Aac/w640-h288/f4f51f5b-289b-4eef-b1cb-f2ead946d402.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8qKnO-WJeXCHkZrD13g_wwnoZcIVM7t-MMzGTf7q3bvAJdlBrm6aHdWGoKFIi5GP8GFjIIXEDz8lEpUcu6wrpaIy5_810RkfLuR5vrvTpl0n1I28Tfmz75rzfmHjr8eHiKH97CJ1e0z3PeAiCyFHVILL9QCvuibdxeRAkFy1L3uO3DFVomsktGIdPgN0/s1152/69f213a2-b2c2-4682-b1e7-ce04ce577e11.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="520" data-original-width="1152" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8qKnO-WJeXCHkZrD13g_wwnoZcIVM7t-MMzGTf7q3bvAJdlBrm6aHdWGoKFIi5GP8GFjIIXEDz8lEpUcu6wrpaIy5_810RkfLuR5vrvTpl0n1I28Tfmz75rzfmHjr8eHiKH97CJ1e0z3PeAiCyFHVILL9QCvuibdxeRAkFy1L3uO3DFVomsktGIdPgN0/w640-h288/69f213a2-b2c2-4682-b1e7-ce04ce577e11.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
