PRINCIPAL’S DESK

I am happy to know that 3rd E –Newsletter of our college

is all set to publish. At SBMP we always try to start and continue

some good practices and E –newsletter is one of them. One year

back, when we decided to start our E _ Newsletter. Our focus is

to highlight all those activities held in and outside polytechnic,

but remained unnoticed in our Annual college magazine “Sagar

Tarang”

The entire E- Newsletter team especially students’

members are very active and creative who put their best efforts to

make this E –Newsletter more pictorial and readable. I am also happy to see that the legacy

Sager Tarang has created in all those years, E –Newsletter is already started to

trod on the same path .

I offer my best wishes to staff and Polytechnic for their continuous efforts in raising

polytechnic’s image to new heights.

S.B.M. Polytechnic has created a name for itself by maintaining high standard of discipline and performance.

The Polytechnic believes in organizing need-based programs and assisting in-service personnel in education

and training activities. The Polytechnic has developed Sandwich Programs and has diversified its

conventional programs initiated in 1963 into variety of discipline areas as First Level as well as Post-

Diploma Level along with in-service programs. The Polytechnic is a grant-in-aid autonomous institution

affiliated to the Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education. The Polytechnic is being managed by the

duly constituted Managing Council.

Objectives

1. Over the years, objectives of S.B.M.P. have been to initiate, develop and conduct need-based programs so

as to develop Technical, Managerial and Entrepreneurial skills.

2. S.B.M. Polytechnic aims at upgrading and updating qualification skills and knowledge of technicians

already working in the industry through Continuing Education Programs and Part Time Diploma

Programs.

3. S.B.M. Polytechnic`s mission is to establish and provide a comprehensive, full equipped training facility

in advance technological fields and to cater to industry needs of specialized skills in the emerging high-

tech areas

For achieving these, SBMP strives to

a) Develop better approach, skills and attitude to work

b) Bridge Theory-Practice gap and stress on Application and Utility of Programs.

c) Ensure participating and association of Faculty through Staff Development Activities.

VISION

SBM Polytechnic aspires to be the

lead institute in providing need

based technical education.

MISSION

To provide state-of-the-art infrastructure and latest equipment for providing a stimulating learning environment.

To prepare students to meet the dynamic needs of the industry by periodic reviewing and upgradation curriculum through an interactive process with industry.

To inculcate a spirit of excellence in terms of academic performance, research and innovation in faculty by providing appropriate support and incentive systems.

Pratyush India is proving itself in every

field possible and technology is no less

here. Union Minister for Science and

Technology Harsh Vardhan dedicated

India’s fastest and first ‘multi-petaflops’

supercomputer to the nation here.

Petaflops is a measure of a computer’s

processing speed.

On Monday, 8th January 2018

India unveiled its fastest

supercomputer 'Pratyush' which is an

array of computers that can deliver a peak

power of 6.8 petaflops. One petaflop is

a million billion floating point

operations per second and is a

reflection of the computing capacity

of a system.

According to reports of Indian

Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM),

Pratyush is the fourth fastest

supercomputer in the world which is

designed for weather and climate research.

It will also upgrade an Indian

supercomputer from the 300s to the 30s in

the Top500 list, a respected international

tracker of the world’s fastest

supercomputers.

The government had sanctioned

last year Rs 400 crore in order to put in

place a 10-petaflop machine. The main

functionality of this supercomputer would

be monsoon forecasting with the help of a

dynamic model.

The IITM release added that the facility

would help the country with better

forecasts in terms of monsoon, extreme

events, tsunamis, cyclones, earthquakes,

air quality, lightning, fishing, hot and cold

waves, flood and drought among others.

This facility will also be used in

coordination with the Indian

Meteorological Department (IMD) and

other weather monitoring institutes, to

evolve better weather monitoring practices

and an improved weather forecasting

system.

This requires simulating the

weather for a given month and letting a

custom-built model calculate how the

actual weather will play out over June,

July, August and September. This new

system would provide wings to the

technology and it would be possible to

9 | P a g e

map regions in India at a resolution of 3

km and the globe at 12 km.

The machines will be installed at two

government institutes: 4.0 petaflops HPC

facility at IITM, Pune; and 2.8 petaflops

facility at the National Centre for Medium

Range Weather Forecast, Noida

These supercomputers will help weather

analysis reach international standards,

and attain improved predictions and

warnings of natural disasters.

Tesla, Inc. (formerly Tesla Motors)

is an American company that

specializes in electric vehicles, energy

storage and solar panel

manufacturing based in Palo Alto,

California.

Founded in 2003, the company

specializes in electric cars, lithium-ion

battery energy storage, and

residential photovoltaic panels (through

the subsidiary company SolarCity). The

additional products Tesla sells include

the Tesla Powerwall and Powerpack batteries, solar panels and solar roof tiles.

Tesla operates multiple

production and assembly plants,

notably Gigafactory 1 near Reno,

Nevada and its main vehicle

manufacturing facility at Tesla

Factory in Fremont, California.

The Gigafactory primarily produces

batteries and battery packs for Tesla

vehicles and energy storage products.

SolarCity

On August 1, 2016, Tesla agreed to

acquire SolarCity Corp. for $2.6 billion in stock.

SolarCity is the largest installer of rooftop solar

systems in the United States. More than 85% of

unaffiliated Tesla and SolarCity shareholders voted to

approve the acquisition, which closed on November 21,

2016.

Strategy

Tesla aims to disrupt the automotive

industry by creating many innovative

pieces that fit together; this strategy

was called "complex coordination" by

Tesla investor Peter Thiel. Its

marketing, production, sales and

technology strategies all are notably

different from its competitors.

11 | P a g e

Tesla's automotive strategy

is to emulate typical

technological-product life cycles and

initially target affluent buyers. It

would then move into larger markets

at lower price points. The battery and

electric drivetrain technology for

each model would be developed and

paid for through sales of the earlier

models. The Roadster was low-

volume and priced at US$109,000.

Model S and Model X targeted the

broader luxury market. Model 3 is

aimed at a higher-volume segment.

It appears that the Tesla Semi prototype

that has been going around the US over

the last few weeks might be touring Tesla’s

top customers who placed orders for the

electric truck.

Last year, PepsiCo placed one of the

biggest orders for Tesla Semi: 100 electric

trucks to add to their fleet.

Like with Anheuser-Busch last week,

Tesla apparently held a private event for

the company to see the electric truck

prototype up close.
