A wo-day NO-day workshop on Recent Trends in Chemical Engineering Environmental Management" was organised during 26th March 2018 to 27th March 2018 by the chemical engineering department. The main aim of the workshop was to make the students aware hout the ongoing trends in environmental management. academicians and experts from the industries were invited to deliver the lectures. Mr SK Das (PDPU), Dr Vimal Gandhi DDIT) and ex officer from Saurashtra Chemical Pvt Ltd- Mr DN Sharma were the experts. In this workshop, experts briefed about the current scenario of environmental management. They explained the term environmental management and said that industries are the major consumers of water and energy. They talked about the major challenges faced by the industries now a days and how issues are deat by the industries. Various systematic approaches to reduce the water and energy consumptions, material minimization techniques etc can be incorporated in industries through recent techniques to deal with environmental impacts
The department of CIVIL Engineering in Association with IWWA celebrated WORLD WATER DAY in presence of Honorable Dr.Jaynarayn Vyas.
-Group of Students of the final year (8th Semester) Plastic Technology Department presented their Students Start up work on “Polymer Composite Railway Sleepers” under the guidance of Prof & Head of Department Ms. Bharati G Basantani .

An industrial visit was organized for pre final year students at The Green Environment Services Co-op. Soc. Ltd, a common effluent treatment plant (CETP) at Vatva on 19th March 2018. The CETP collects wastewater from various types of chemical industries located in GIDC-Vatva and treat them and dispose the treated effluent as per GPCB guidelines. Around 36 students of 6th semester of Chemical branch were exposed to the various phases of wastewater treatment like primary, secondary and tertiary treatment processes. Overall, the CETP benefited the students providing them practical exposure in the field of waste water treatment. Prof. R. P. Bhatt, Prof. T. S. Rajaraman and Prof. R. K. Kanzariya coordinated the visit.
The rates are invited for catering service and food in various programmes at L D College of Engineering.
