An Industrial Visit to Bardoli

INDUSTRIAL VISIT TO BARDOLI BY MBA STUDENTS – June 13, 2024

An Industrial Visit was organized by METAS Adventist College for the MBA Students on June 13, 2024, with the initiative taken by Dr. Anil Kumar Ch, accompanied by 40 MBA students and two faculty members, Mr. Franklin Narayan and Mr. Lumkhonpou Gonmei.

The students were engaged in a session on innovative ways of engaging the workforce. It was a very interactive session which our students enjoyed the most with lots of practical learning examples from the industry. Students practically learned the application of the various theoretical subjects and learned what it means to execute a world-class manufacturing process with zero wastage at Akshat Paper Limited.

This helped the students to pick up important lessons on the job. It also gave them the opportunity to observe the workers on the job and learn about the various procedures that go into huge enterprises with manufacturing units.

The students went to three enterprises that are very different from each other and had different USPs. Here is a brief description about each enterprise.

Suruchi Shikshan Vasahat Trust (SSVT)

SSVT was founded in 1959 with inspiration from Vinoba Bhave's movement and in association with Jugatram Dave, Swami Anand, Kakasaheb Kalelkar, Ravishankar Maharaj and others. SSVT works to support small farmers, developing renewable energy technology, bio-gas, smoke-less cook stoves and organic farming. SSVT runs the projects with cooperation from Khadi Village Industry Commission (KVIC) and Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR). Ram Kumar Singh Director (SSVT), an alumnus of Nagpur-based National Institute of Technology, has reduced the drudgery of farmers, especially women, in south Gujarat by designing agriculture tools. He has combined his engineering skills with traditional knowledge of farmers in the region to improve the agriculture productivity. Among a number of indigenously designed tools, SSVT has developed a plant puller that enables women to pull out the cotton plant from land in standing position.
