The second year BTech students of the department visited the project on 27th November 2023. This was the first study tour of the batch and the enthusiasm was very high.
The visit to the powerhouse was very informative for the students. The visit gave them an opportunity to view the various components of the power house. The Power house is owned and operated by the Kerala State Electricity Board and has an installed Capacity of 37.5MW situated at Chithirapuram. The turbine used is the Pelton Wheel. They were also able to see the penstocks used to supply water to the power plant. The students also visited the Mattupetty dam and studied the various parts of the dam and stepped spillway.
Apart from this, the students had fun sessions at the play area near the Mattupetty dam. The team also visited the echo point where lunch was served in the pine forests. The students also visited the spices garden where they got to see the various medicinal plants which is the basic ingredients for Ayurvedic medicines.
The return journey started after a short shopping spree for homemade chocolates and tea. A total of 74 students attended the industrial visit and was accompanied by Ms. Preethi M, Mr. Abhijith R, Mr. Sreerath S and Ms. Rinu J Achison.
The visit was very fruitful and the students and faculty had a day of fun and laughter. It was indeed a break from the regular classroom session and yet informative and enlightening.
