1 One Week Short Term Training Program on Present Scenario & Environmental Sustainability of Ceramic Industries 22 nd to 26 th June 2015 Organized by Department of Chemical Engineering And Department of Civil Engineering Technical Associations V. V. P. Engineering College, Virda Vajadi Kalawad Road,

2 About the Training program: This STTP was an interdisciplinary Programme which brought together the faculties from engineering disciplines, Industries, faculties from Science colleges & Universities. This initiative of STTP greatly useful in providing conceptual understanding, computational & procedural fluency and problem solving skills. In this context, the organization of a five - day Short Term Training Programme on Present Scenario & Environmental Sustainability of Ceramic Industries at VVP Engineering College-, was highly useful for strengthening the present research areas. Invited talks by the Faculty from various prestigious Institutions and host institutes, renowned scientists, highly official authorities from GPCB, industrialist with immense knowledge and experience have provided the necessary inputs to the young researchers and students working in the country along with the inclusion of industrial visit for better practical understanding of the subject. The objectives of the program: To focus on ceramic industry's diverse sectors and demonstrate the strategic role each of them plays in society and in enhancing life quality. To discuss energy-saving best practices, improve resource efficiency and move away from traditional energy sources for ceramic manufacturing. To focus on environmental issues related to Gasifiers and action taken by authorities to that concern. The need for a lifecycle approach in Ceramic manufacturing. To discuss it's wide application in Construction and in Industries. Course outline: Recent global and Indian scenario of Ceramic Industries. Discussions on current and future technologies for enhancing the properties of Ceramic. Modification in Gasifiers to meet the required environmental sustainability.

3 Inaugural Session: On 22 nd June, first day of the STTP, the proceedings began with inauguration ceremony, with the esteemed presence of Dr. K. U. Mistry, Chairmen, Gujarat pollution control board, Chief Guest and Key Note speaker. Hon. Chairman of VVP Engineering College, Shri Pravinbhai Maniar was also preset along with Principal Dr. Sachin Parikh, who delivered the welcome speech. Prof (Dr.) Piyush Vanzara, Head, Chemical Engineering Department, gave the introductory speech about the schedule and key features of the STTP. The key note address followed the inauguration immediately by Dr. K.U. Mistry on burning issue of ceramic industries like CNG gas, LPG gas & air pollution. The discussion was carried out about gasifire which spreads air pollution & it is need of time to control & mitigate the problem of land and come up with technological solution. VVP Engineering College was asked to come forward to help the ceramic industries. Glimpses of Inauguration Ceremony:
