<h2 class="ql-align-justify">Rural Internships</h2>
As per the directive of the ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, a Technical programme should comprise of at least 20% courses on Humanities and Management. For better execution of policies during one&rsquo;s professional career, a technocrat is required to come to terms with the realities of life. In India, Rural population comprises of nearly 70% of the country&rsquo;s total population. In a developing nation like India, cities are getting saturated rapidly in many ways and the onus on administrative machinery is to focus on rural areas for development. In this regard, it has become mandatory to know and understand rural life and its demography.
PDEU offers students, opportunities of conferences, government roundtable events, study on the campuses of other universities, corporate internships, urban renewal mission internships and rural internships. Rural Internship is an internship carried out in a rural area. It is a work-based activity in which students are engaged in learning through practical experiences in rural areas. It has become necessary for the youth of today to know and understand rural life and its social, cultural and economic ramifications. It is in this context, School of Liberal Studies (SLS), has introduced a mandatory Rural Internship (RI) in B.Com (Honors) Programme for the first year students. SLS also organises the Internship for the Engineering students as well.

Due to which batch 2020 and 2021 combined had a strength of 1000 students including few re-registered students of the previous batches. All the students were given elaborate kits including a Bag, Tshirt, Cap, Button Buddy, Mask, Stainless steel, Cutlery, Plant with Eco Pot and mixture of manure and earth.&nbsp;
The purpose of the kit was to inculcate the essence of responsibility towards environment thinking of sustainable ways of living, to promote Go Green Campaign, to support Atma Nirbhar Bharat Mission and to support no plastic campaign and try to lead a sustainable way of living. Finally, the potting material and earthen pot was given to the students with a message to grow trees and contribute to saving the Earth. The Rural internship had a great start with a wonderful offline &lsquo;Inauguration ceremony&rsquo; which was also marked by the presence of esteemed dignitaries and all the students were thrilled by the offline ceremony where they were briefed about the internship.&nbsp;

<h2 class="ql-align-justify">Industry Orientation</h2>
Engineering studies have two systems contributing side by side to the enhancement of comprehension and study skills. The first is the theoretical systems; conducted primarily in the form of lectures, tutorials and labs, which are accompanied by frequent consultation of various knowledge sources. The second is the practical system, in the form of Industrial and Research Training, during which the students apply theories learnt. The third year B.Tech students are scheduled to go through Industrial and Research Training, envisaged with a view to make students familiar with industry operations in industry including exploration, drilling, production, transportation, refining, distribution, electricity, generation and research activities. The ultimate goal of the training is to accelerate integration into professional careers once the graduate is hired for doing a certain task.&nbsp;
<h3 class="ql-align-justify">Objectives:</h3>
● To integrate all learning in real life environment
● To expose students to all industrial engineering tasks like design, production, maintenance, services, equipment operations, technology and operational techniques
● To enhance student&rsquo;s scientific and practical capabilities. It makes the student perceive the practical significance of the academic topics handled at the faculty, and direct his thinking to the practical aspects.
● To give the student the feeling of a professional career he/she is heading for, before graduation. Industrial and Research Training can represent a valuable asset for the graduate and for the employer.
