A Team of First Year Engineering students from shah and anchor kutchhi engineering college, chembur, Mumbai made an electric car to learn something out of their understanding, curriculum and gain a fair amount of engineering knowledge out of it, at a metal fabrication workshop in Mulund, Mumbai and was presented as the show stopper for the annual technical fest of shah and anchor kutchhi engineering college, chembur, Mumbai on 1st April 2016. The car was named “Energy Efficient Electric Car” which was powered by sealed lead acid chemistry batteries and had a range of 50 to 80 Km at one charge, with a top speed of 81.67Km/h.

The event was organized with an objective to develop the attribute of sustainable development among the students by keeping the young minds engaged with some creative as well as knowledge enhancing group activity specially during this Pandemic situation.

The programme was hugely successful with over whelming response from students and Faculties from different Colleges affiliated to University of Mumbai as well as outside. Dr Rajnarayan Saha from NIT West Bengal and Dr. Sudam Dawande from ICT Mumbai were the honorable judges for the competition.
Following were the winning teams.

A. Poster presentation
1st – Environmental Alliance
2nd – Eureka
3rd – The Alchemist

B. Video competition
1st – The Titrators from LTCE, Navi Mumbai
2nd – Nature Nurturers from SAKEC, Chembur
3rd – SAVY from SAKEC, Chembur

We at Shah and Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College whole heartedly thank all dear students and Faculties for their participation and cooperation.
