Commenting on Lakshaya, LD College of Engineering Principal Dr RK Gajjar said, “L.D. College of Engineering is one of the pioneer college for engineering with a huge legacy dating from 1948. Our Alumni are placed in the top-ranked positions in well-reputed companies all over the world. LAKSHYA aims to provide a platform for the student community to sharpen their technical skills by participating in events like workshops, technical, non-technical, literary and fun events. Every year our fest projects a theme to bring about a perspective shift in the audience, concerning crucial social, technological or financial scenarios I wish all the very best to the students of Team Lakshya’22 and I hope that they would be successful in the execution of the fest and in depicting its motto.
Dr Major Chaitanya Sanghvi, Head of Department Applied Mechanics, LD College of Engineering, said, “This year, our college is completing its 75 years of excellence. Our students have been contributing so much to keep the name of the college high and evergreen. This student community that organizes National Level Edu-tech Lakshya every year, learns, brainstorms new ideas, enhancing soft skills in the best possible way which is a good thing.”
Prof Mitul Makwana, Prof & Faculty Co-ordinator of Lakshya 2020, LD College of Engineering, commented that “Lakshya is an idea that was brought up by the students of Robocon LDCE in 2014. Every year a unique theme is created by which Lakshya tries to bring about a constructive change in the society. In 2014 the theme was “Defence Expo” in which guard of honour was given to all the martyrs. In 2015 the theme was “H.R. SUMMIT” wherein HRs of many companies attended the summit and in turn signed MOUs which helped our college students in getting internships and placements. In 2016, an education conclave “SAMVAD-The Education Conclave” was hosted to discuss the education system in the country.
“A Student Development Forum was set up to perform the exchange of knowledge and facilities among various colleges of Ahmedabad. Lakshya 2017 brought up the theme “Parivartan – Transforming India”, which focused on the areas concerning Digital India and Skilled India. Lakshya 2018, with the theme “KHWAAB- towards a new era”, focused on the future scenario of our country in fields like telecommunication, education infrastructure etc. Lakshya 2019 introduced to people the vivacious side of our nation where India is doing wonders and is way ahead from other countries with the theme of “Noor-e-Swadesh”. Lakshya 2020, with the theme “Saamarthya – redefining the standards of engineering” highlighted the contribution of engineers in improving the standard of living of people. Lakshya 2021, with the theme “Perception- revolutionising through critical thinking” which aimed to show the revolutionary changes and evolution in the industries and technologies, resulting from critical thinking. I wish this year too, Lakshya turns out to be a grand success with its theme “Anāgata,” Sanghvi added.
Speaking with navjeevanexpress.com, Jainam Shah, Convener, Marketing, said, “Lakshya believes in distinctiveness with respect to other college festivals by choosing a theme that needs the prime attention of the people in the current stint. This year as our theme is “Anāgata. The dignitaries will share their outlooks on the same. The marketing and sponsorship of the fest have been done keeping in mind its theme by associating with education firms and technology-based corporates. Also for the convenience of our participants, we have also associated with Rapido as our travel partner which will provide a discount for traveling to LDCE for Lakshya’22.”
Parth Patni, Convener, Events, said, “As the name suggests Lakshya, an aim, the target that we, the Team Lakshya have set for the participants in the form of a stage with a variety of events where they can prove their decrypting, circuitry, coding, creativity, preciseness, innovation, strategic and oratory skills. The fest will be an amalgamation of opportunities for the overall development of students.”
Jainil Vora, Convener, Campaigning, said, “Campaigning is one of the strongest pillars making Lakshya, one of the most successful fests of Gujarat. Last year, due to pandemic we shifted our fest to online mode and successfully conducted the whole fest by receiving 6,500 participants. Lakshya reaches young minds across various colleges of Ahmedabad, Palanpur, Mehsana, Bhuj, Vadodara, Rajkot, Anand, Bharuch, Modasa, Patan and even from other states of India and encourages them to participate, showcase their latent talent and compete with their peers.”
