The Department of Mathematics, in collaboration with the Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC), organized a two-day Idea Showcase: Poster Presentation of Ideas & Linkage with Innovation Ambassadors at Babbar Akali Memorial Khalsa College, Garhshankar, on 25th and 26th November 2024. The event aimed to foster innovation, creativity, and presentation skills among students while encouraging them to think critically and propose innovative solutions to real-world problems.
On the first day, Prof Deepika, Innovation Ambassador and Convener IIC, conducted an interactive session to guide students about the theme of the event. She introduced the concept of idea generation, poster presentation, and the importance of linking innovation to practical solutions. Prof Deepika motivated the participants to explore their creativity and refine their ideas into clear, actionable presentations. The session proved highly beneficial as it equipped the students with insights into preparing for their poster presentations.
The second day of the event featured the main activity where students presented their ideas through creative and well-designed posters. Each participant explained his/her concepts in detail, highlighting the feasibility, practicality, and innovative aspects of their solutions. The evaluators for the event were Dr Amandeep Heera (Principal of the College), Prof Deepika (Innovation Ambassador & Convener IIC) and Dr Ajay Dutta (Innovation Ambassador & President IIC). The evaluators assessed the presentations on various parameters such as creativity, clarity of thought, and potential impact.
At the end of the event, the evaluators announced the winners, and prizes were distributed to the students securing first, second and third positions. The winners were appreciated for their outstanding performance and innovative ideas. The event concluded with encouraging remarks from the evaluators, who commended the participants for their efforts and creativity.
The success of the event was made possible due to the collective efforts of the organizers, including Dr Preetinder Singh, Prof Chandni, Prof Kamini, and Prof Pragti, under the leadership and guidance of the Principal, Dr Amandeep Heera. The two-day Idea Showcase not only provided a platform for students to present their innovative ideas but also inspired them to develop a mindset focused on innovation and problem-solving.
