National Science Day: 2018 @ JMC-Trichy

It was a nice experience to visit where we studied. Last Wednesday is a National Science Day (28 Feb 2018), and I had a great chance to discuss with 150 young science students. I have completed my B. Sc. Physics (1991-1994), and M. Sc. Physics (1994-1996) from Jamal Mohammed College (http://www.jmc.edu/index.php?mn=home), Bharathidasan University.  See below our group photo (not a complete one though) during one of our M.Sc. practical day.

Dr. Haja Hameed joined as a faculty in the same department, while we are all scattered in the entire globe. He organized a National level seminar on Solid State Physics and invited me to deliver a lecture.

The college management is more supportive and they spend good time with all the speakers. It was one of the awesome day to interact with young minds and happy to contribute to the institution, where I graduated. Expecting more and more interactions in future.
