Preamble
Vidya Prasarak Mandal (VPM), Thane has started an engineering college in deeply rural area with state of art infrastructure sprawling over thirty seven acres of land. I t i s o n t h e v e r g e o f b e c o m i n g one of the best colleges in India. The college is located at Velneshwar near Guhagar, Ratnagiri in the Konkan region. This region is chosen in particular because of its high literacy rate of 75%-80% which is highest as compared to Indian literacy rate of 65.4%. Contrarily, gross enrollment ratio of this region is only 8% to 10% which is well below national average of 12.4%. As a part of VPM we are proudly announce hosting of SRUJAN (creativity) on 20 & 21st 2013 for 11th & 12th level Science Students to motivate them for higher studies in the field of Science & Technology and develop the research culture in students of rural area. The main goal behind organizing this competition is to change the view of our education society from the examination oriented education to application oriented education. In achieving this SRUJAN will definitively provide a platform to innovative and creative students from urban as well as rural area. The competition will mainly emphasize on science and technology and its applications in our day to day life. With publication of this manual we VPMs MPCOE cordially invite you to participate in SRUJAN.

2. List of Organized Events

The goal behind inclusion of following event in this competition is to provide innovation and creativity platform for science students: This competition is divided in three different section. Students of junior college can participate in any event or all

Section-I
Scientific Model Making
In model making student are requested to work on small projects in group/team of 3 to 4 students. Student can select any topics from Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science. As an example we suggest you following topics. The projects based on innovative ideas are more than welcome.

Physics:
Project 1: Title: Electricity from Lemons (Lemon battery)

Details: It is a very interesting and easy project to perform. Take one or more lemons and pierce the electrodes and connect them in series along with ammeter. Press thoroughly lemons for making juice presence inside as the electrodes will be coming in contact with the electrolyte. You can see the deflection in the ammeter. Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_battery Project 2: Title: Surface Tension Experiments Details: Surface tension is one of water's most important properties. It is the reason that water collects in drops, but it is also why water can travel up a plant stem, or get to your cells through the smallest blood vessels. You can experiment with surface tension using just a few household items. Ref:http://www.hometrainingtools.com/experiments-with-water-scienceproject/a/1272/

Project3: Title: Calcium Chloride As A Natural Dehumidifier Details: For this project you can explain how the Calcium Chloride absorbs water. What is the physical process taking place? And how well do other salts (such as table salt) absorb water from the air? Ref: http://www.real-world-physics-problems.com/physics-project-ideas.html

Mathematics
1. Investigate the history of pi and the many ways in which it can be approximated. - They are many methods by which we can approximate value of pi. You can discuss any one form it. 2. The Parabolic Reflector Microphone is used at sporting events when you want to be able to hear one person in a noisy area. Investigate this; explaining the mathematics behind what is happening. - A parabola has a focal point. The Parabolic Reflector gathers sound waves (lots and lots) and directs them toward the focal point where the microphone collects/converts the sounds waves into electrical signals. You can explain Mathematics behind it 3. Develop a model based on Linear Programming Problem, for Ration shop. So as to minimize wastage / loss / corruption - Collect a data of a village. Form a objective function and constraint to give an optimal solution. 4. Ecological survey DEVARAI - You can collect data on different parameters. Apply Mathematical / Statistical techniques to analyses it. Explain the applicability of mathematical / statistical techniques.

Chemistry
1. Bio Diesel: Principle: Based on one of the principle of green chemistry, Use of Renewable Feedstock. As we have limited stock of petroleum oils we must focus on use of Renewable Feedstock to prepare bio fuels. We can use any vegetable oil (or waste oil by removing contaminants) or animal oil to prepare biodiesel by transesterification process. 2. Preparation of Potash Alum: Principle: Principle of recycle and reuse of material is used here. We can prepare potash alum from waste Aluminum metal pieces. Potash alum is used in papermaking, in fire extinguishers in food stuffs and in purification of water. It can be prepared by treating Aluminum metal with aqueous KOH and then with aqueous H2SO4. Similarly you can prepare any useful chemical from waste materials/chemicals.

3.

Purification of water:

Principle: Use any principle of chemistry to make your water suitable for drinking. Processes like distillation, ion exchange, adsorption, absorption, filtration, osmosis, electrolysis, etc. can be use and you can suggest any better one or combinations of processes to make your water pure for drinking purpose.

Computer Science
1. Design calculator program using C programming language With use of computer editor application how to develop instructions to operate calculator operations for daily mathematical calculations Editor name: turbo C Application name: calculator in C

2. Design calculator program using visual basic programming language With use of visualization editor application how to develop a user interface based calculator with set of options addition, subtraction, multiplication and division & write instructions to operate calculator operations with effective graphical user interface based mathematical calculator. Editor name: visual studio 2008 Application name: GUI based calculator

Section -II
Quiz Competition
Quiz competition would be based on 11th and 12th science syllabus (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and biology). Main objective of this competition is to test the students ability towards concept and application of respective subject.
