Dr. Kumar also delivered a hands-on-training session on “Modelling irrigation indicators using soft computing techniques” in MATLAB software. Additionally, he presented case studies from his published research articles to students for their better understanding. Students asked their doubts related to the particular topic, and their queries were effectively cleared by the speaker.
Dr. Navsal Kumar also interacted with Dr. Rakesh Kumar, Director cum Principal (MGGEC), and the faculty members of the Civil and Mechanical Engineering department of the college.
