Strength behind the visit

Honourable Provost Dr. D. R. Shah Sir has approved the industrial visit and encouraged the committee
for organizing similar kind of activities for the benefit of students.

During Industry University Interface Program at Uka Tarsadia University, many experts from the
industries have suggested that students of final year PG/UG Chemistry should visit the industries to
experience the actual working environment and the processes. Training and placement cell organized
an Industry University Interface Program at Uka Tarsadia University, at that time many experts from
the industries have suggested that students of final year should visit the industries to experience the
actual working environment and the processes. Also, suggestions came from the industrial person that
visit for the chemistry students will be helpful to face the interviews.

Dr.Amrutlal Prajapat and Dr. Dharmesh Chejara have taken continuous follow-up with Bardoli Sugar
factory, and organize this Industrial visit. All the faculty members of the Tarsadia Institute of Chemical
Science supported this tour.
