HOD's Desk


        It is with great pleasure and hope that we create this website. The main objective of this website is to provide resource material for the Printing Technology students to facilitate their effective learning during their Diploma course. It is a matter of botheration that there is actually a great shortage of Indian Printing books for Printing subjects. The non-availability of Printing Technology books published by renowned writers or publishers has bewildered many. This also proved to be a stumbling block in the teaching and learning process for any member of the Printing Technology faculty or students community.

        To rectify this grievance, we have initiated the pleasant task of creating a separate website specially for Printing Technology course, where resource material for the four semesters will be available for both the faculty members and students. The entire preparation has been meticulously done in accordance with the syllabus prescribed by the DOTE. The support materials have been prepared with utmost care and proper focus and uploaded in the website for the benefit of the teachers as well as the learners. The highlight of the website is its open access facility. The color photographs, diagrams, questions and answers and procedures listed lucidly especially in the lab manual are so clear, simple, easy and impressive that any average learner can make use of the learning materials effectively. The user can download the materials as soft copy or hard copy, easily & freely. The materials are not available anywhere else since the Printing Technology Diploma course is offered only in 5 Polytechnic colleges in our state. The entire syllabus prescribed by the DOTE is found in a simpler version in the e-book format which is learner-friendly. What else is needed to bring out a brighter future for the realm of Printing Technology in this universe?

          Let me wish a great future for all the persons opting for this website created exclusively for Printing Technology.

                                                                             All the Best…
