The Bhilai Chapter of the Indian Institution of Industrial Engineering (IIIE) organised a joint celebration of Hindi Day and Engineers’ Day at the Coffee House Auditorium, Bhilai Niwas, bringing together engineering, industry, literature and social thought on a common platform.

Renowned litterateur Dr. Pardeshi Ram Verma, Chief Guest of the programme, emphasised the need to expand the use of Hindi beyond literature and into the domains of technology and industry. He said, “Hindi has already established its popularity at the international level. Its systematic development as a language of technology and industrial communication will further enhance its relevance and reach.”

The programme was presided over by IIIE Bhilai Chapter Chairman K. Patel, while Vice-Chairman Ghanshyam Kumar Dewangan, Ex-Chairman H. K. Desai and S. K. Dogra were present as Guests of Honour.

A significant highlight of the program was the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award to Late Engineer Dayanand Hariramani for his distinguished contribution to the field of Industrial Engineering. His wife, Mrs. Porsha Hariramani, received the prestigious honour on his behalf.

The Chapter announced that a Dayanand Hariramani Memorial Lecture would henceforth be organised in his memory, providing a continuing platform to discuss industrial engineering, technology and professional excellence.

Delivering the keynote address on “Role of Hindi and Chhattisgarhi in Technical and Industrial Development: Possibilities and Challenges,” Vice-Chairman Ghanshyam Kumar Dewangan said that greater use of Hindi, Chhattisgarhi and other people-oriented languages could make technological and industrial development more dynamic, inclusive, meaningful and safe.

In the Engineers’ Day segment, Chairman K. Patel spoke on the Pomodoro Technique of time management, explaining how structured work intervals can improve concentration, reduce distractions and enhance productivity.

The programme was also addressed by Dr. B. D. Tharkan, Kamlesh Gupta, Dayamani Nayak, Saurabh Sinha, Surendra Gupta and Senger. Dr. Pardeshi Ram Verma was felicitated with a memento.
