Around 25 NSS Volunteers were present to discuss the future initiatives in this domain. The key points for the future initiatives discussed are, For creating awareness about traffic rules by preparing Nukkad natak/drama, Videos concerning safe driving and traffic rules, Advertisement (Poster in classrooms), Satirical Stand-up comedy acts and Drama competition on topic road and safety. To Make every volunteer (NSS VGEC ) aware about all the traffic rules and legislations to begin with, timely seminars will be planned. Conduct interactions and conversation with those person or families who suffered from the road accidents. This can directly empathize the audience Many technologies implementation and their importance can be explained Will conduct eye checkups or health checkups for the drivers of public transport. Suggestion with the solution will be represented to the government by the research team on the issues pertaining common man. We will conduct this awareness at school level through nukkad natak and other means. NSS VGEC will have one research and development team which will study the areas of concern and will then by propose a way of solution. This will be carried as a permanent project of NSS VGEC beginning in the month of July in terms of execution. 07

The uniqueness of this event lies in the fact that it was entirely conducted for the students by the students themselves.

8 Drone Making With Raspberry Pi IEEE VGEC Student Branch took up the challenge to explore the use of Drones in the Smart City plan. As a part of their quest, they successfully conducted a 3day (2729 June 2017) workshop on Drone making with Raspberry Pi. The uniqueness of this event lies in the fact that it was entirely conducted for the students by the students themselves. Thus they got the dual advantage of learning about sophisticated Drone making as well learning employability skills such as team work, leadership, articulation and technical content. The 3day workshop was focused on delivering the interactive session which was primarily focused on Drones. Drones have been around for years, and they are used for different purposes. Recently, these devices are becoming increasingly popular and their applications are expanding in numerous fields. Hands on training was given for actually making Drones with Artificial Intelligence using various software and hardware tools like python, processing, arduino, 3D-printing and raspberry pi.
