The Department of Civil Engineering, Pantnagar has been working as a State Technical Agency (STA) since 2018, scrutinizing the DPRs of roads for 06 districts and DPRs of bridges for all 13 districts of Uttarakhand under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). As STA, the Department has scrutinized DPRs worth more than ₹3500 crores, scrutinizing project proposals of roads and bridges for programme guidelines and providing technical support to the Uttarakhand government on project appraisal and technical specifications.

The Department worked as a State Resource Centre (SRC) for the National Programme for Capacity Building of Engineers in Earthquake Risk Management (NPCBEERM), Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, and organized training programmes for PWD engineers in Earthquake Resilient Design.

The Department has organized six Training Programs so far for around 150 engineers of the Rural Works Department (RWD), Government of Uttarakhand, on “Capacity Building of Engineers in Engineering Practices and Materials Testing for Quality Construction”.

The Branch Chapters

• “SPRINKLER-THE BRANCH CHAPTER OF AGRICULTURAL ENGINERING”
• “NIRMAAN-THE BRANCH CHAPTER OF CIVIL ENGINEERING”

were assigned the task of coordinating the event. Students from all the colleges in the University participated in the debate competition. The debate was conducted in both English and Hindi. The topics for the debate were

• Will Genetic Engineering permanently change our society?
• Is UPI beneficial?

Each speaker was allotted time of 4 minutes to present their views and rebuttal round was allotted 1 minute with no cross questioning allowed. The speaker was open to be questioned by all.

The special guests invited for the debate were Dr. Neeraj Bisht, Staff Counselor, Engineering and Technology Society and Dr. Sanjeev Suman, Staff Counselor, NIRMAAN.

The English debate was held on 3 December 2022. The jury panel were Dr. A.K. Pratihar, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Shikha Goswami, Department of Information Technology, Dr. Sanjeev Suman, Department of Civil Engineering and Dr. Abhishek Yadav, Department of Electrical Engineering. There were 2 rounds held for each topic. 9 students each spoke for the motion and against the motion on the topic “Is UPI really beneficial?” and 8 spoke for the motion and 7 against the motion on the topic “Will Genetic Engineering permanently change our society?”
