An enthusiastic nature lover and accomplished engineer, Er. Deepinder Singh an alumnus of Giani Zail Singh Campus College of Engineering and Technology (MRSPTU) has unveiled a remarkable initiative aimed at safeguarding avian life in Bathinda.

This towering structure standing at an impressive 60 feet is designed to accommodate over 1,000 birds offering them respite from adverse weather conditions and a permanent haven.

Inspired by his experiences in Rajasthan, where similar structures provide refuge due to the scarcity of tall trees, Er. Deepinder Singh embarked on this noble endeavor.

The genesis of this project stems from the unfortunate displacement of numerous birds due to the renovation of the Multania flyover in Bathinda. Recognizing the need for intervention, Er. Deepinder Singh, alongside his partners, including Mr. Jaspal Singh Sidhu, Managing Director, and civil works experts Mr. Gurmeet Singh and Sanjay Tanwar, conceptualized and executed a plan to provide a sanctuary for these displaced avian residents.

Utilizing innovative pre-fabricated kits sourced from Gujarat, the team ensured the construction of a durable, weather-resistant structure.

As a permanent member of the National Safety Council, Govt. Of India, Er. Deepinder Singh's expertise ensured that the Bird House adhered to the highest safety standards.

With an estimated cost of Rs. 10 lakhs, funded by Er. Deepinder Singh and fellow nature enthusiasts, the Bird House stands as a testament to the importance of preserving avian habitats. Embracing a familial ethos, Er. Deepinder Singh dedicated this noble endeavor to his daughters, Hevinjot Kaur and Alvinjot Kaur, fostering a legacy of environmental stewardship for future generations.

Furthermore, Er. Deepinder Singh also pays honour to his father, S. Nachhtar Singh Jhuttika and Grandfather Sardar Jagga Singh underscoring the significance of familial bonds and a connection to nature. He also thanked Jaswinder Singh, Sukhdev Singh and Amarjit Singh for their nice support for the venture. His vision extends beyond this singular project, as he endeavors to inspire others to follow suit in safeguarding our natural world.

The initiative has garnered praise from various quarters, including MRSPTU, Registrar Dr. Gurinder Pal Singh Brar, and Corporate Resource Center, Professor Incharge Dr. Rajesh Gupta, who commended Er. Deepinder Singh's ingenuity and pledged support for similar initiatives. The Bird House has already become a focal point for nature enthusiasts and bird lovers alike, symbolizing a harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

He explained that the main principle of this day is the furtherance of food security all over the globe. He discussed that the problem is access and availability of nutritious food, which is increasingly impeded by multiple challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts, climate change, inequality, rising prices and international tensions. He advised the students to share their food to avoid wastage and encouraged the students for their better future.

Dr. Kawaljit Singh Sandhu, Head of Department Food Science and Technology, presented a detailed key note about World Food Day emphasizing on the Global Hunger Index (GHI), and the need for healthy diet. He pointed out that although the world has made progress towards building a better world, too many people have been left behind who are unable to benefit from human development, innovation or economic growth such that millions of people around the world cannot afford a healthy diet, putting them at high risk of food insecurity and malnutrition.

The event coordinators, Miss Shaweta Chaturvedi, Ms. Gurjinder Kaur Sidhu, Ms. Riya, Er. Rajinder Singh Smagh, Faculty and Staff of Food Science played key role in organizing the grand event.

MRSPTU celebrates 75th Independence day with enthusiasm and patriotic fervour
Bathinda, August 15
Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Technical University (MRSPTU), Bathinda celebrated 75th Independence Day with enthusiasm and Patriotic fervour at Athletic Ground on Sunday. Saluting the Nation and its freedom fighters, Chief Guest on the occasion, MRSPTU, Vice Chancellor, Prof. Buta Singh Sidhu unfurled the National Flag.

"Revolution is an inalienable right of mankind. Freedom is an imperishable birth right of all. Labour is the real sustainer of the society, the sovereignty of the ultimate destiny of the workers" Prof. Sidhu started his speech while quoting famous lines of Shahid- E-Azam Bhagat Singh.

While addressing, Prof. Sidhu appealed to the gathering to adopt the attitude of humanity, brotherhood, national integrity, progress, prosperity, peace, and justice forgetting the differences of color, creed and caste.

"India is a progressive nation of this world and has achieved advancements in technology, military, arts, agriculture and architecture etc., but the  process of Nation Building is still on," he said while strongly appealing to the youth to arise to the challenges of the day and dedicate themselves to the building of strong Nation.

Being a technical university," We  have a big  responsibility on our shoulders to contribute to the progress of the nation. Teachers, who are heavily paid from the Government exchequer  should love their profession and be “Role Model” for the students. “A teacher is a beacon light that acts as a lighthouse to guide the stranded students in the sea of life,” he said.

India has emerged towards becoming a global power to fulfil it. However, in this competitive world to march further, a nation requires the power of Science & Technology to be counted among the best.   " Even if each of us decides to work with one problem of our society,  we will see that we will be making great contributions towards the nation, the state and to the university," Prof. Sidhu said while  appealing to the students for innovation  and research.

MRSPTU Registrar, Dr. Gurinder Pal Singh Brar also conveyed his greetings on Independence Day and gave his best wishes for a bright future for the students. He said a teacher's life is a living message for his students to work hard in the service of the country.

MRSPTU Dean Academic and Campus Director, Dr. Savina Bansal said engineers play a very important role in every walk of life. Engineers contribute to the nation’s technological and industrial progress,” she added.

The NCC cadets and Security personals conducted the parade in honour of the national flag.  Lt. Rajeev Varshney, 20 Punjab Battalion NCC and Er. Vivek Kondal, ANO of 2 Punjab R & V SQN, NCC of the Campus led volunteers enthusiastically participated in the celebrations.

They will carry out plantation drives in Chak Bakhtu, Chak Fateh Singh Wala, Chak Ram Singh Wala, Kartarpur  Thande,  Lehra Mohabbat and Punjab Institute of Technology (PIT), Nandgarh .

June 5 has been celebrated as World Environment Day every year since 1972 when the United Nations General Assembly established this day on the first day of the Stockholm Conference on Human Environment.

“The pure air and water are the rights of the coming generation. No development is possible by destroying nature. Not only June 5, should every day be environmental protection day,” said Prof. Sidhu while urging  everyone to make their living style and practice nature friendly by  growing  more and more trees. He lauded the efforts of NSS units in arranging such events of environmental protection and spreading the awareness among the students.
