LIFT (Laboratory Improvement Future Trends): Laboratory instruction is considered essential because it provides training in observation, supplied detailed information, and aroused pupils’ interest. Keeping this in the view, LIFT has been introduced to provide practical hands on experience for each student by making them with good exposure to different experiments and uplift the knowledge levels of student in various fields with different applications.
Aim: The main aim of the LIFT programme is to innovate, modify the existing facilities in labs, to create awareness among the students and develop Industry –Institution interactions and reach the standards in laboratories. Functions:
I. To create better understanding concepts of LIFT and other lab related activities among the staff and lab technicians for better improvement.
II. To Arrange LIFT Presentations from each department about the lab activities by the staff handling the labs. (Lab Planners)
III. To Prepare GAP ANALYSIS: This involves collection of requirements from each lab of every department, information about expansion of labs, repairs and maintenance of labs etc.
IV. To arrange Industrial Visits/ Industrial training programs in coordination with concerned lab staff and Heads of the departments.
V. A Report on Shadow Engineering: This involves arrangement of Industrial and Practical learning, Submission of Industrial Visit report, Technical Survey reports and Market Survey of a product for development in laboratories.
VI. Verification of all the laboratories in every department by the LIFT Team along with the Principal and the concerned HODs, to check whether the activities are going according to LIFT guidelines, to check the Record Keeping, Lab Manuals and Viva sessions etc.
VII. Check for LEAD Experiments and its follow up.
VIII. Submission of proposals related to R&D, Project and Consultancy from lab staff to the Principal for further approvals.
Goals: The main aim of the LIFT program in laboratory is to innovate, modify the existing facilities in labs, to create awareness among the students and develop Industry –Institution interactions and reach the standards in laboratories.
