 Activities on the Day of Visit:
We took entry for our visit at 9:00 AM. In the visit, authorities welcomed us on the Gate-
Pass section. All the students had registered first. We moved to plant. Then the two of their plant
engineers brought us to plant. They explained us the whole generation process step by step and
also explained us about all control units. The questioning was also being taken by us and the
satisfactory answers were given by them.
After arriving at the main exit we officially checked out and then after we thanked the all
authorities and left the plant. On the way back to college, the photos of the visit have been taken
and all the students finally left for the college.

Glimpses of Visit:

We heartiest thanks to Ukai Hydro Power Station to give an opportunity to visit such an esteemed
organization and we also want to thank our director Dr. R. V. Patil sir, Head of the Department
Mr. Ankur V. Rana sir and all the faculties for coordinating the visit.
