 SAJEEV PRAYOGSHALA- LED BULB ASSEMBLING 

LED bulbs are energy efficient and environment friendly lighting source compared to conventional lighting sources. To impart this knowledge and to spread the usage of LED bulbs department of physics has initiated a live lab on LED bulb assembling in the academic year 2022-23.

Objective of the Program

  • To provide hands-on learning experiences and thus to encourage skill-based learning.
  • To develop the entrepreneurial, technical skills of the students.PracticeInitially students were given training in LED bulb assembling by the lab mechanic, Mr. Tom Simon and later the students were divided into a group of 5 students. Each of these groups prepared 5 bulbs. The bulbs were then sold through Azhchavattam, Amenity centre.
