Guest Lecture on “Opportunities for Physics Graduates”

Department of Physics has organized Guest lecture for the B.Sc. III dated on 4^th, January 2018. Prof. S.S. Patil from Vijaysinha Yadav Arts and Science College, Peth Vadgaon, was the guest lecturer for this occasion. He guided students for the M. Sc. entrance examination and also made them aware of many other examinations after B. Sc. Physics to enroll for P.G. courses in institutions like BARC, IIT, DRDO, etc. As a Physics teacher, he had very nicely interacted with students with the fact that “even after graduating in Physics we are not able to repair home appliances” and this is the result of negligence towards our degree curriculum. Prof. S. S. Patil gave a very nice talk on the opportunities for Physics Graduates.

“Poster Presentation”

Department of Physics organized a poster presentation event for the B.Sc. III students dated on 29^th, December 2017 Students have suggested choosing current issues in Physics to prepare posters for the event. Students must collect information from various sources like books, newspapers, the internet, etc. to prepare posters. They presented a poster exhibition on the college campus. Hon. The principal of our college was presented for the inaugural function. Students presented their posters very nicely and the principal asked questions regarding the topic. He was really satisfied with the students for their active participation and selection of topics and congratulated them for a nice event.

Felicitation of our students for their selection as SAILORS in “The Indian Navy

Department of Physics has organized a Felicitation and farewell function for B.Sc. III Physics students dated 9^th, February 2018. The two students of the department Mr. Nilesh Kharade and Mr. Vishwajeet Birnale has selected in the “Indian Navy” for the post of Sailor.  This achievement by Nilesh and Vishwajeet is an inspiration for the students and a proud moment for the college.

The head of the department and all the faculty members have given best wishes for the examination and their bright future.

Celebration of 100^th Satellite Launching by ISRO

History of ISRO event has been organized by B.Sc. III Physics students on behalf of 100^th Satellite launched by the "Indian Space Research Organization" (ISRO) dated 15^th January 2018. ISRO is the space research laboratory of India. Before the establishment of ISRO, India was dependent on other countries like America, Japan, Russia, etc. for Rocket and its technology. Its main branch is at Trivandrum. In 2011, ISRO launched 20 satellites, and in Jan 2018 it launched 100^th satellites, and it's a proud moment for India. “Chandrayan” and “Mangalyan” are IRSO’s best achievements, and the world has also appreciated them. On behalf of this occasion, Miss P. P. Bagawade madam demonstrated the satellite model and aware the students with the satellite construction and launching process and also demonstrated Mark and the elliptical motion of the satellite around it.

Alumina Interaction

The six numbers of students in the year 2016-17 of the Physics department are enrolled for M.Sc. in Physics. Department of Physics has organized M. Sc. enrolled alumina interaction for B.Sc. III students on 9^th August 2017. The purpose of this interaction is to motivate graduate students for post-graduation study and to perceive higher education.

Students were so much inspired by this interaction and they were acquainted with the fact of today's competition for qualifying entrance examination and getting admission to higher education even. We teachers are always making efforts to inspire and motivate students for higher education. Still, due to this M.Sc. enrolled alumina interaction, they interrelate with real experience and their view towards their studies, careers, and future become more serious.

One Day Visit to "Shivaji University, Kolhapur"

Department of Physics has organized a one-day study tour for the B.Sc. III (Physics) students at Shivaji University, Kolhapur dated 5^th December 2017. During this one-day tour, we visited the Department of Physics, various research laboratories like the electrochemical materials laboratory, thin films and material laboratory, etc., USIC, and Dr. Balasaheb Khardekar library. The Physics Instrument Facility Center (PIFC) is a department that was an attraction point for the students. There are so many research equipment for research like X-ray diffractometer, solar stimulator, contact angle measurement unit, and photoluminescence unit. FESEM etc. University Facility Center (USIC) was also visited where we observed a glass blowing unit and various units for repairing of instruments like furnaces, heaters with stirrers, refrigerators, CRO, etc.

Students have also visited the Dr. Balasaheb Khardekar library. Shivaji University is blessed with a huge reservoir of books and students were glad to see this. They also see the “Constitution of India” as the guide of our life in India. Students have also visited V. S. Khandekar Bhavan where the university has preserved memories of V. S. Khandekar who was a great Marathi writer from Maharashtra, India.

Study Tour 2017-18

Department of Physics organized a study tour for B.Sc. III year students dated from 17^th, January 2018 to 19^th, January 2018. The route of the study tour is "Raigad-Alibagh – Mahabaleshwar – Pratapgad – Raygad –Janjira – Alibag – Murud –Shreevardhan- Harihareshwar".

Workshop at Sanjay Ghodawat University on “New Horizon-Joy of Learning Physics”

The students of the Department of Physics visited SGU, Attigre on 23^rd, January 2018. One day state-level workshop on “New Horizon-Joy of Learning Physics” was organized by SGU in Attigre. The workshop had a formal inauguration at 9:45 AM with Dr. V. A. Raikar.  The former vice-chancellor of SGU delivered the inaugural address. In his address, he encouraged students about their academic achievements. He also gave a special talk on research in physics and the joy of learning physics. In the session, Mr. Shrinivas Aundhkar from Aurangabad addressed the participants on “Future opportunities in physics”. In session II, Prof. Chakradeo Ambernath, Mumbai explained the standard model based on Newtonian formulation for the dynamics and continuous system. After that, Dr. D. P. Nade, assistant professor of physics addressed the topic “The state of the atmosphere above the earth”. They also talked about basic things in Astrophysics. The two sessions ended with the votes of thanks proposed by Dr. R. P. Pawar, coordinator of the workshop.
