A thought of an autonomous Engineering college to make Ham Exam mandatory to ECE Students

We on behalf of the Academy of Ham Radio have been in association with VR Siddhartha Engineering, Vijayawada for the last more than 10years and conducted various Ham Radio Awareness drives & training sessions involving thousands of students. 

     We have been invited by the College administration to hold an awareness campaign for their ECE Students on 25-06-2022.Two sessions have been conducted in a spacious conference hall from morning 10-00AM to 1-30PMcovering a total of 400 students. Engineering students have been explained how Ham Radio can be utilized to up-to-date their technical skills as the new developments that are coming in the activity from time to time. 

     Our repeated efforts of holding awareness drives, and training sessions for more than one decade involving Students, Professors and faculty members have bared fruit. As a result which administration of the autonomous institution is seriously deliberating to make Ham Radio training one of the mandatory subjects for all the ECE curriculum students. 

     If VR Siddhartha College of Engineering implements its ideas then there is a chance that some more autonomous institutes will follow the suit. If that becomes reality it will give a big boost to the Ham Activity. In turn, more Electronic Engineering students become Ham operators transforming Vijayawada into a hub of Hams whose services would become potential resource in the times of Natural Disasters.
