The event was organized by the Training and Placement Cell in collaboration with the Department of Artificial Intelligence, Faculty of Science & Technology, Vishwakarma University.The session was conducted by Aditya Dambale and Rohidas Shelar who guided students on The IBM SkillsBuild for College program provided students with access to the IBM Cloud platform, enabling them to gain hands-on experience with cloud-based applications widely used across industries. The training focused on emerging technologies such as data science, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, ensuring that students acquired knowledge in high-demand domains. A practical learning approach was adopted through a blend of online courses, interactive sessions, and real-world projects using IBM Watson Studio, which helped students strengthen their problem-solving and analytical skills. Participants were introduced to Large Language Models (LLMs), prompting techniques, and data analytics. The hands-on activities included crop recommendation using Watson Machine Learning with AutoAI, creating Jupyte notebooks with IBM Watson Studio, data refinement using IBM Data Refinery, and building a chatbot for college admissions with Watsonx Assistant. Additional sessions covered Prompt Lab with IBM Granite LLM, Agentic AI, and a discussion on IBM Events and Project-Based Learning (PBL), providing practical exposure to real-world AI and cloud applications.

The “Nourishing with Care – Food Donation Drive for the Elderly”, conducted on 29 September 2025 at Vrudhashram Kranti Jyoti Savitribai Phule Mahila Vikas Sansthan, Pune, with the collection point at Vishwakarma University, aimed to promote social responsibility, community engagement, and value-based education among students while addressing the nutritional needs of elderly residents through the donation of essential non-perishable food items. The program was organized under the guidance of Dr. S. Sampathi (Dean, School of Pharmacy – Convenor), Dr. Neeta Rai (Coordinator), Dr. Amrita Thakur (Coordinator), Prof. Supriya Unavane (Member), Dr. Sabeena Syed, and Dr. Madhav Shelke, with active participation from 6 faculty members and 20 students from III and V semesters who contributed to awareness, collection, logistics, and beneficiary interaction. Approximately 30 elderly residents directly benefited from the initiative, which enhanced students’ empathy, civic responsibility, teamwork, and experiential learning, while strengthening Vishwakarma University’s commitment to social service and community partnership. The program was coordinated by Dr. Neeta Rai, Vishwakarma University, Pune, reinforcing continued student involvement in meaningful outreach activities.

Vishwakarma University organized a Fort Cleanliness & Plastic-Free Awareness Drive on 27 January 2026 at Sinhgad Fort as part of its Republic Day Community Outreach initiative. The activity was conducted by the School of Pharmacy, Vishwakarma University, with the objective of promoting environmental cleanliness, sustainability, and social responsibility among students. The programme was organized under the guidance of Dr. Dipali Talele and Prof. Yogita Shinde. Faculty members and students at the School of Pharmacy actively participated in the drive, demonstrating institutional commitment towards community engagement and environmental stewardship. During the activity, students undertook systematic cleaning of designated areas of Sinhgad Fort by collecting plastic and other dry waste. The collected waste was segregated to ensure environmentally responsible disposal.

The initiative contributed to maintaining the cleanliness of a historically significant heritage site and helped reduce the accumulation of non-biodegradable waste in the surrounding environment. The cleanliness drive provided experiential learning opportunities to students, fostering values such as teamwork, discipline, civic responsibility, and environmental consciousness. The successful execution of this community outreach activity reflects Vishwakarma University’s sustained efforts in integrating social responsibility and environmental awareness into academic and co-curricular practices.
