A Society for training to needy students in the field of Electronics and Instrumentation
 
 

About Us

As mentioned this centre is maintained by some group members of Dr. Manik. Most of them are associated in their Research and Teaching work. In this section we like to provide a sketch about its specific activity and mode of operation.

Activity of our centre may be classified in two different levels.

Level 1: Training programme:

In the first level we will try to give exposure to young students in this field. We will teach basic electronics instrumentation and show different experiments. We will also demonstrate different experiments even to the kid. This attempt will help the students to grow interest in this field. After this programme they may extend this activity in any other training centre/institute to pursue further courses or take different initiation to apply it commercially. It is my observation that any memories of our early ages are really helpful to pursue it in future. In some cases it really helps us to motivate even if the exposure is insignificant. We will also invite others to set up this type of training centre in a bigger way by incorporating some other facilities to extend the present activity.

Level 2: Awareness Programme :

As a part of the awareness programme of this centre we try to publish some periodicals where views from experienced/senior persons will be reflected. We invite persons from different fields to write articles or to express their views, experiences, comments, message to us on any aspects of this field. We will publish/post their views in website from our society to help people to shape and re-shape their ideas. We hope this attempt to note their views will be meaningful and useful in future. We feel this is very important also. Students, different business persons, common people from different sectors may be helpful. This activity also provides a platform to share our views. They may get ideas to introduce new areas of application. Discussion for adaptation or selection from a high budget to low scale home industry suitable for individual is also useful.

Our R&D Section:

We are working on the above two aspects in this centre. Apart from that it may also be mentioned that few services are available from this centre. We have designed and fabricated some low cost indigenous instruments which may be applied in different areas. We have also a very little R&D section. We find energy generation may be a major area of activity for future research, application and business. We have some work in this direction from our centre. Out of many renewable energy sources we have seen that conversion of energy from mechanical/human power to electrical, wind power, solar power may be useful. Some of our services are also mentioned in our website. This section will be extended in course of time.

We expect that you will come with different suggestions to improve the activity of this centre. Since its inception suggestions from different persons helped us to give the present shape of this centre. I hope in future we will also be able to run it smoothly. I strongly believe and none will also deny the fact that any attempt to provide even a little exposure to the young students in any technical field has definitely some meaning whatever may be our opinions and views. I hope in course of time one will be interested in our centre. I like to thank you for spending time to go through this write up.

How this centre runs -- Source of fund and mode of operation:

We have set up this centre from the idea of our President. He is an Associate Professor in Physics and engaged his R&D work and teaching. Apart from his regular work, he feels that any attempt to design/discuss different possibilities for the practical application of electronics and instrumentation is meaningful to address the recent problems like unemployment, illiteracy etc. Many persons including the business sectors have appreciated this attempt. Some of them are also benefited, as acknowledged by them.

As a part of the awareness programme he had tried to extend the application areas of electronics and instrumentation. He had mentioned different possibilities of this field that may be carried out by many people of our society. One may find it in his site, http://www.nbmanik.in/consulttancywork.html. Many people have already appreciated this idea.

Regarding the budget of this centre, so far we did not receive any such donation. It was met by our group members, president, some beneficiaries and few well wishers. To meet the expenses of this centre few services are also introduced from this centre. We have designed and developed a few low cost indigenous instruments which may be applied in many areas. Due to lack of fund it is not possible to undertake any sophisticated designs. In this case we like to discuss about these designs only. We have also a little R&D section. Energy generation may be a burning issue in future. Out of many renewable energy sources the conversion of energy from mechanical/human power to electrical, wind power, solar power may be useful. Recently we have decided to advertise different companies in the sponsor section of our website http://www.instrumentationstudy.org/sponsor.html. Some of our write ups, lectures are also being appreciated. Some of our other services/consultancies are also mentioned in our website. The list of our designs and other specific services may be provided if required. We hope this list will be extended in course of time.

By providing such services, so far we have managed to meet the salary of two staffs, few instruments and one rented office for this centre. We hope we will be able to go this way in future. But sometimes we think it will be effective if we procure one office space for this centre instead of the rented one. We have a plan to approach different persons/government sectors in this regard in future with a request to provide us small R&D project on energy generation, to be our collaborator, or to help us to market some of our services or sponsor in our website for their advertisement etc.

Regarding its mode of operation it is mentioned that this centre has a small rented office at Kolkata. Few members, mostly the students of Dr. Manik located at different places arrange for training the students which also helps the student to get training from their locality. At present at Kolkata we have not much space. But the materials etc are being monitored from our Kolkata office. We hope this way it will be possible for us to go in future. We hope the activities of this centre will be effective in course of time.
