Quality edge 2008

I got a chance to go for the quality edge 2008.It was a national level seminar emphasising on quality for global competitiveness. It was a really great experience to be there among so many engineers. It was organised by the institute of engineers india. with the Yashwantrao chavan college of engg as the host college, We were the only ones among the 9 students from all over india.Infact most people present there had doctorates and masters degrees,We were not even graduates.
I presented a paper on Reduction in accident rate by implementing TQM techniques, THe conference invited key note speakers from many companies,And it was a pleasant experience to listen to their experiences of dealing with tough circumstances during the licence raj.
It was not about winning prizes,It was more like a platform to exchange knowledge, The only drawback of the conference was in adequate time given to the participants to speak.One of the key note speakers wanted to present a presentation gaving 87 slides, one of the highest among the others so he took time equivalent to 10 other speakers.
We had keynote speakers from companies like Mahindra, ACe refractories sunflag steel and a software firm called micropro.
For the time i have been in this college,I have never seen a program to be organised decently,There were always a hundred flaws in programs which were organised in our college. But in that college the entire event was done so well that every one was surprised to know that it was done by the students of that college.
We even had a cultural meet in which the INdian idol Paarticipant Mrs Yashshree bhave had participated.
