Detailed Project Report (DPR)
GURUNANAKDEVENGINEERINGCOLLEGE,
LUDHIANA
11.1 / PREAMBLEa / At present Punjab is an agricultural state but to give an impetuous to technical education, a technical University was established in 1997 now known as PunjabTechnicalUniversity. The eleventh plan envisages a man power requirement of 3.72 million man-years for engineers and 8 million man-years for technicians and support staff. Considering the above fact, there is an urgent need to enhance the existing number of technical manpower in different branches of Engineering Therefore as a policy, Govt. of Punjab is encouraging opening of new engineering colleges both in public and private sector and at the same time encouraging the existing Engineering colleges either to enhance the intake of a particular branch or start new branch of engineering in the same colleges.
1.1 / Introduction
GuruNanakDevEngineeringCollegewas established by the Nankana Sahib Education Trust (NSET). The Nankana Sahib Education Trust was founded in the memory of the most sacred temple of Nankana Sahib, birth place of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee, Amritsar, a premier organisation of Universal Brotherhood, was the main force behind the mission of "Removal of Economic Backwardness through Technology". With this mission, a Polytechnic was started in 1953 and GuruNanakDevEngineeringCollege was established in 1956. The Trust deed was registered on 24th February, 1953 with a commitment by the Nankana Sahib Education Trust to uplift the vast weaker section of Indian polity comprising Rural India by admitting 70% students every year from rural areas. This commitment was made to the nation on 8thApril, 1956, the day when the foundation stone of the College building was laid by Late Dr. Rajendra Prasad Ji, the First President of India. Nearly 20,000 Graduates and 2500 Post-Graduate Engineers have already passed out from this College during the last several years and are at present successfully employed in India and abroad. Seven Under-graduate courses (Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Production Engineering and Information Technology) run by the Institute have been accredited twice by National Board of Accreditation) New Delhi in the year 2004 & 2008.
1.2 / Background of the Consultants
Instead of appointing any individual or firm as consultant, it was decided that a committee under the chairmanship of Director shall be constituted from amongst the senior faculty of Engineering stream having Ph.D Degree. All the Head of Departments being head will automatically become the member of the committee.
