CSIR-IMMT successfully conducts 2 days Integrated Skill Initiative Program
Bhubaneswar/Kalinga Voice: A2-day CSIR Integrated Skill Initiative Program on “Electrochemical processing techniques and characterization for industrial applications” EPCIA-2022 was organised at CSIR -IMMT on 21st and 22nd April 2022.
The programme was inaugurated in the presence of Prof. Suddhasatwa Basu, Director CSIR-IMMT Dr. U. Balaji, Program organizer EPCIA 2022, Dr. B. Bhoi, Chief Scientist & Head AMT Department,Dr. S. K. Pradhanand Coordinator CSIR Integrated Skill Development Initiative.
Prof. SuddhasatwaBasu, Director CSIR-IMMT delivered the inaugural remarks and presided over the Inaugural program.He said that programs in applied industrial electrochemistry such as this are more valuable in terms of training because such courses are not in any academic curriculum. He also expressed that this is a unique opportunity for the participants to get hands-on training.
The event aimed to provide an overview of academic and industrial advancements in various electrochemical processes, which includes lectures from eminent scientists from IMMT, live demonstrations, safety instructions and hands-on experiments planned for about 15 participants (Postgraduates, PhD scholars and young working professionals from universities and colleges of Odisha) to get a feel of existing techniques and applications in the domain of applied electrochemistry.
The participants had an industrial visit to Mancheswar in order to provide exposure to understand actual industrial electrochemical operations for practical applications that are currently under commercial operations.
The program was intended to impart research as well as professional skills required for the participants who aim to have a career in this field.Dr. Bikash Kumar Jena, Dr Mamata Mohapatra, Dr. Chinmaya Kumar Sarangi and Dr.Umapathi Balaji were discussed on various related topics.
