PREFACE

The world is shrinking. New era is going to be an era of great

technology and only those engineers who will have the
ability to move along with fast paced technology are going to
survive. To move along with technology an engineer must be
equipped with the practical knowledge of work. Now the
quality of knowledge is more important than the quantity. So
a person without practical knowledge is nil no matter how
many books he has studied.

The practical training is highly conducive for the

development of
Solid foundation of knowledge and personality
Confidence
Excellence and self-discipline

It was a pleasure that I got an opportunity to undergo

my six weeks industrial training in THE ESCORTS
GROUP, MATHURA ROAD, FARIDABAD. When I joined
ESCORTS, I was associated with the AGRI MACHINERY
under the PRODUCT TESTING & EVALUATION
DEPARTMENT for the six weeks training period.
