Editorial “A magazine is a memory you can cherish again and again” SHILP- The world in itself means creativity at its best… Shilp, the annual magazine of VESP, is a canvas that provides a platform for the creativity to be materialized. It is a compound of the writer’s mood, ideas, rhyme and most important, his/her heart. It is a platform for students to exhibit their emotions, skills and knowledge. It is a tree in real sense which begins as a seed and gradually grows with watering and care of the makers. It is a journey from the beginning of the year covering various events, festivals, academics, activities, workshop and achievements. It is an outcome of students’ considerable contribution and creativity which make Shilp an outstanding edition. “We don’t remember days…We remember memories”. A new beginning always inspires our progressive run, but as we look behind, we see shadows of memories. “Shilp 19” is a mirror which reflects the happenings throughout the year. It starts with the celebration of the Traditional Day, Gurupoornima, and Teacher’s Day. The enthusiasm reaches to the peak in Sphurti which is a perfect stage to display one’s sportsman spirit: Anvesh with a theme: “Navaras” reveals youth spirit giving the exposure to inner talent, excitement & enthusiasm of Vespians. We embarked towards the completion of the year with the celebration of Alumni Meet with great ecstasy in the last week of December. “But, it’s time to start something new and trust magic of beginning.”-2020 -Editorial Team Honourable Principal and Faculty members receiving ISTE Narsee Monjee Award for Best Polytechnic in Maharashtra state FDTP Best College Award Tree Plantation VESP Students and Faculty receiving third prize in group singing competitions for Vivekini on Independence Day Celebration Intra VES Poetry Competition Yoga day 1.

Things will give you up” – Swami Vivekananda India is now being recognized as a technically advanced country with a pool of trained manpower. Our Nation is the most attractive investment destinations for science and technology sector in the world. A strong focus on science and technology has resulted in constructive economic growth. It is a matter of proud that we are at a prestigious position among the top most countries in the world in the field of scientific research and space exploration and space missions, including missions to the moon and the acclaimed Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. Chandrayaan-2 mission was a highly complex mission, which represented a significant technological leap compared to the previous missions of ISRO. In this regard the considerable investment in education with research and development is a need of hour to compete with international standards. We have to make our Institutes of learning to rise to a higher level of academic excellence, where research, development and interactions with industry would be on a regular basis. As promised by late Shri K. B. Mansharamani- the founder and the architect of engineering education in Vivekanand Education Society, we will not shy away from investing in science and technology, research and development. We have, from the inception, tried to ensure the cordial relationship among the students, parents and faculty members which has been helping us to achieve our goal of imparting quality education. Besides academics we conduct several activities to develop overall personality of the students. We have also started VESLARC with the motto of inculcating leadership. We wish to develop you as educated individuals with holistic values, self-confidence and leadership in your stride. You are still students but soon you will become responsible citizens- you will be achievers- engineers, scientist, industrialist, professors, leaders, businessmen. I wish you all Success, Contentment and Excellence in your chosen profession.
