It was a matter of great pride and emotional connection for Team STOLZEL that our CEO, Dr. Santosh Chaurasia, was invited as the Guest of Honour at the inaugural ceremony of the Faculty Development Programme on “Artificial Intelligence Applications in Mechanical Engineering: Future Tools (AIAME-2026)” organized at the prestigious Central Technical Institute, SLIET Longowal.
Returning to his alma mater was not merely a formal occasion for Dr. Chaurasia, but a deeply meaningful moment reflecting his journey from a student to an academician, CEO, and industry professional. Interacting once again with respected faculty members, researchers, students, and participants made the occasion truly memorable and inspiring.
At a time when Artificial Intelligence, Industry 4.0, Smart Manufacturing, and emerging technologies are rapidly transforming the engineering ecosystem, strong collaboration between academia and industry has become more important than ever. Initiatives like AIAME-2026 play a significant role in strengthening technical education, innovation culture, practical learning, and future industry readiness.
The event reflected the progressive academic vision and commitment of SLIET under the guidance of Patron & Director Dr. Manikant Paswan, the gracious presence of Director In-Charge Dr. Ajatshatru Arora, the academic leadership of Co-Patron & Dean (Academic) Dr. Amandeep Singh Shahi, the support and guidance of Chairperson & HoD (Mechanical & Civil) Dr. Shankar Singh, and the dedicated efforts of Coordinators Dr. Rakesh Kumar, Dr. Manoj Goyal, and Dr. Yogesh Verma.
STOLZEL has always believed that sustainable technological growth is possible only when industry and educational institutions work together to nurture innovation, practical engineering skills, and future-ready professionals.
We sincerely congratulate the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the entire organizing committee for successfully conducting such a visionary and impactful programme.
For STOLZEL, this visit was not only an academic interaction, but also a reminder that no matter how far professional journeys progress, the connection with teachers, institutions, and roots always remains invaluable.
Team STOLZEL expresses heartfelt gratitude to the entire SLIET family for their warmth, affection, and wonderful hospitality.
