KHANAN 2019

ABOUT US

The annual Mining Fest “KHANAN-2019” aims to bring the students from Different institutions offering mining & allied courses in the country on a common platform and would help them showcasing their skills. A series of events including panel discussion, guest lectures by eminent personalities in the industry, paper presentations, case studies etc. would be conducted during the three day festival. It would provide a real life environment to the aspiring Mining & Earth Sciences students and would expose them to the real world problems and challenges in the industry. The summit seeks to improve decision making and problem solving skills of the students and inculcate a sense of professionalism among them.
SME-IIT(ISM) Student Chapter was inaugurated in May 2011 under the aegis of society for Mining and Metallurgy and Exploration. It was found with the sole purpose of kindling curiosity and intrests in the minds of the students of ISM and about the field of Mining Engg. The society collectively works in the way of making our presence known to the world as a potential body of mining engineers. We organise several events ranging from technical events such as guest lecture, case study and paper presentation to group discussions etc. for the benefit of the students. We also serve as an interface between our glorious alumni and our student members in order to enrich them with our alumni's priceless knowledge.

MINING SOFTWARES

WORKSHOP

About :

The penetration of digitisation into the surveying industry has mandated the acquisition of modern techniques of data analysis and data representation mandatory. The tools though easy to use have not been able to have an impact on the students all around the country. To bridge such gaps between the academics and the industry, KHANAN organises workshops on software pakages like SURPAC, AUTOPLOTTER, MINEX AUTOCAD 3D, etc., The only requisites to join are bringing a fully charged laptop and minds free to learn.
