Young India is buzzing with the brilliant ideas. The younger generation in India would be more at ease with the use of contemporary technology, because the onset of globalization has brought the world-class technology to India’s doorstep. What is really needed is encourage the young talent, channelize their efforts and provide them a solid platform to prove their mettle. This need is well realized by the academia and the Industrial world too. Leading Universities are launching different events, competitions and symposium to give better exposure to the budding generation. Leading Engineering colleges are encouraging the students to take up new challenges, evolve their own ideas and translate them into the product which would not only succeed in the competitions but also prove to be a trendsetter in the current industrial scenario.
However, in most of the Engineering institutes the practical otr on-field exposure to the world-class technology is missing. As a result, many powerful ideas of students are abandoned at the nascent stage. This is where Industry plays its part. Speroni India Pvt. Ltd., has ventured on this drive, to give shape and momentum to students’ career. The company has extended the sponsorship to the students from Alard College of Engineering & Management (ACOE), Hinjewadi, Pune.
Team Adolfus from ACOE has stepped forward to participate in the National event conducted by the American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME) and they are presenting their project, namely ‘Human Powered Vehicle Challenge (HPVC)’. Mr Arun Singh, Project Guide, informed that the competition is being held at New Delhi from 16th – 18th January 2015.
Elaborating his views on the sponsorship, Mr Ravi Moolya, Managing Director – Speroni India Ltd., stated, “The Engineering Industry in India is becoming technologically organized and professionally enlightened about the challenges it has to face on the global scale. The new generation management in most of the industries is espousing to world-class technology, leaving very little scope for conventional style of manufacturing. With increased awareness about adoption of advanced technology, the Indian manufacturers are inducting high-end machine tools, equipments, tooling and inspection facilities in their manufacturing set-up. This is a very conducive environment, especially for the students, who are going to shape India’s future in the years to come. We need to provide them appropriate exposure to modern day technology with practical experience and guidance. Apart from this we need to extend the financial assistance to bring their potentially rich projects into reality.”
“Speroni India Pvt. Ltd., said Mr Moolya, “would extend the helping hand to number of meritorious projects or ideas. We have a far reaching thought and in real sense, we are contributing to Prime Minister’s ‘Make in India’ campaign.”
Team Adolfus from Alard College of Engineering & Management consists of six members, who are actively involved in this project.
Team Adolfus has manufactured an efficient three wheel aluminium (6082) human power vehicle (1f2r) named ALBEDO within a time span of two months. The input human energy to output vehicle velocity ratio is 1:3 which was made possible by manufacturing of a customized constant mesh gear box along with above mentioned qualities. The vehicle also consists of a braking system of single hand applied two disc brakes attached to rear wheels, this provided efficient braking system. It also equipped with secure rollover protective system to compliment safety parameters. The boot space is sufficient enough to carry a 20 kg mass without affecting the gear ratio.
The students and the Management of ACOE have expressed their sincere thanks to Speroni India Pvt. Ltd. for providing sponsorship for the said project and their confident that with Speroni’s help, they would accomplish their goal.
