LOCUS 2013" ENGINEERING RURAL DEVELOPMENT"

In the 21st century, technology has become a byword for change, for development. It has become essential to embrace technology as a part of our day to day life. Technology provides sustainability; it provides means to improve our efficiencies and room for innovation. Taking this in account, LOCUS attempts to provide a platform for technological innovation and take it from engineers and students and present it in palatable form to the general public. Pulchowk Campus is the first and one of the best engineering campus in the country. LOCUS is a student body of Pulchowk Campus working for promotion of technology and the spirit of competition among students. LOCUS Committee, since 2003, has been organizing the LOCUS Technology fest with the motto ‘Competition Builds Qualitiy’ to promote the technical skills of the students associated to the technological field. Electronic Hardware, Computer Software Exhibitions and Competition are the highlights of the three days locus festival. LOCUS Committee also conducts seminars, workshops, and competitions on variety of topics suited for both the technical and the non-technical crowd. Science students of the higher secondary school level are also encouraged to take part in the tech fest as a means to stimulate the interest in the field of technology in students from a young age. Software and hardware companies also participate in the tech fest as a means to promote their product and to help people understand the various products available in the market to cater to their needs. LOCUS 2013 is organizing the “10th NATIONAL TECHNOLOGICAL FESTIVAL” with aim of providing a platform to showcase innovative ideas and creativity in the field of technology. Keeping up with the current scenario of Nepal , where there is a large disparity in the access to and the use of technology, our theme “ENGINEERING RURAL DEVELOPMENT” aims to encourage clever ideas and designs which will help in taking technology from selected institutes and urban sector to every household of the rural sectors of the nation.
