Co-Curricular Activities
Developing a website www.mohangupta.com
to provide standard supplementary course material on steel structures to the
students and teaching faculty across the country. The idea is to provide
complete set of lecture notes (unit wise), power point slides of these
lectures, previous question papers and their solution (University examinations
and Sessional tests), and links to related sites. The
site is under continuous improvement.
Instrumental
in erecting a steel sculpture in Bhilai Institute of Technology, Durg, Chhattishgarh, India. This sculpture is significantly different from those in the
Western Universities and utilizes sections that are available in
