On 30 Jul. 25, the E-Cell of Vishwakarma Government Engineering College (VGEC), Chandkheda organized an inspiring and interactive session on Innovation, Design Thinking, and Entrepreneurship, delivered by Mr. Karmjitsinh Bihola. At the beginning of the session, Mr. Bihola assigned students the task of identifying a real-life problem from their surroundings. In response, students discussed the issue of poor road conditions near the college, recognizing how difficult and unsafe it is to drive or walk through the area. This exercise helped them understand the importance of empathizing with problems, analysing them, and thinking creatively to find sustainable solutions. Mr. Bihola emphasized that to become a truly developed nation; we must move beyond "jugaad" (temporary fixes) and invest in long-term innovation. He left students with a powerful thought: “Umbrella, parachute, and mind are only useful when opened.”
