Pavan Raina (Chemical 1976) seeking 1976 batch-mates:
I was surfing the net and visiting BHU org site gave me new Oxygen to breath.
I have been BHUIT student, passed out in the year 1976 in Chemical engineering. I am not in contact with any of my class mates and was trying to locate some but could not find.
Gopal Tripathi / C B Prakash were the heads of my department of Chemical Technology in my time. K. L Shrimali was VC.
I don’t remember the names of professors unfortunately but do remember Chemistry professor. He was a gem of a human being. People don’t know how they transmit the knowledge to the world. Teaching the subject is only the part but the value comes by the method and the human dealing which can not be found in the books and a in debt for the professors who have been responsible in generating the awareness on human values.
I am working in private company which deals with turnkey project on water and waste water treatment internationally. I am heading R & D department in this company by the name of Aquatech Systems (Asia) Pvt. Ltd, situated in Pune.
To my credit on the work front (Not describing other companies that I went through):
- In my previous company I was the pioneer in introducing electro-dialysis membrane technology for water purification in India.
- In the present one we are working on membrane based water purification products. I have 2 US patent in record on this technology till now.
- Off the official work I am a philosopher in mind and have got one book published by the title "The Evolving Human and the Future World" published by MD Publication N Delhi. The book can be seen in their web site http://www.pharosmedia.com/india-books-bookstore/india_books_MD_Publications.htm
I would be grateful to hear about some of my colleague of 1976 chemical engineering batch if available.
