Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College commenced publication of a biennial Technical Journal in 2010 to disseminate information spanning the entire spectrum of engineering and technology. We envisioned that this activity will help unleash the creative potential of technical community and provide a credible platform to receive professional recognition. Our journey through this arduous path has been a satisfying effort. We have sustained interest and support of the country’s Technical community.

The Journal aims to provide platform to researchers, academicians, developers, industry experts and authors interested in state-of-the art and state-of-the-practice activities via publishing their research-based papers, articles and case studies on topics of current concern in the areas of engineering branches, namely electrical engineering, electronics, communication technology, instrumentation and measurement, information technology, computers, mechanical engineering, robotics and allied disciplines.

Our source of articles mainly comprises the faculty teaching in Engineering Colleges across the country. Process of publication of the Journal is supervised by IIT-background professionals with impeccable credentials. The articles are blind-peer reviewed and published following internationally-accepted IEEE style as the format for publication. Printed on art paper, the Journal with ISSN number 0975-9514 is currently running in its Ninth volume. To begin with we had planned the Journal at the national level. Gradually, the contributions started coming from overseas Universities and we converted it to an international journal.

To recognize the invaluable Intellectual contribution made by professionals in advancing the noble cause of dissemination of scientific and engineering knowledge, all published articles since Volume 7 of the “AKGEC International Journal of Technology” are being suitably rewarded. A prize of Rs.5,000 is being paid to the paper adjudged the best for each issue. For the balance, an amount of Rs.2,500 per article is earmarked.

Dr. R.K. Agarwal has an exceptionally brilliant academic background with B.Tech from IIT Kanpur, M.S. from CIT, Cranfield, UK and PhD from IISc Bangalore. During his illustrious career of nearly three decades in the Indian Air Force and Defence Research & Development Organization (DRDO), he has held various key appointments including Chief Engineering Officer of an Operational Base, Director (Engg) at Air HQ and Project Director at Centre for Airborne Systems. His vast managerial, administrative, research and academic experience includes teaching assignments at Air Force Technical College and nine years of pioneering R&D work on the prestigious AWACS project in DRDO. He has also been a member of the Aeronautical Research & Development Board (ARDB) panel for approval and review of sponsored research projects at various centres of Excellence established at IITs and CSIR Laboratories.

He is the recipient of the coveted Royal Aeronautical Society (UK) award for academic excellence at CIT and a citation with cash award by DRDO for his contribution to the design and development of Airborne Early Warning aircraft, culminating in its maiden flight.

After taking voluntary retirement in 2004, Dr. Agarwal decided to contribute in the field of technical education and has been the Director of Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College (AKGEC), Ghaziabad since then. He has been persistently working towards setting new benchmarks in academic excellence as well as industry–academia interface to make the students globally competitive and employable. During his tenure, the college has not only been consistently maintaining exceptional results and placements but has also made significant progress in research and industry relevant consultancy projects. A number of initiatives and collaborative ventures with eminent multi-national companies have lead to establishment of many multi-disciplinary, high technology industry relevant facilities. These include India’s first Kuka Industrial Robotics Training Centre, NI-LabVIEW Academy, Bosch Rexroth Centre of Competence in Automation Technologies, Janatics Industrial Pneumatic Knowledge Centre and Mitsubishi Electric India. The college has also achieved the unique distinction of receiving the Academic Excellence Award for Best Engineering College in UPTU for two successive years under his able guidance.

He has also contributed in bringing about a culture of corporate social responsibility in academic institutions. The social activities initiated by him include running a free primary school in the college, adopting a municipal corporation school in a nearby village, providing tuition fee subsidy to children of class IV employees, donating computers to spread computer literacy and generously contributing for relief work after natural calamities. Involvement in these activities makes the students conscious of their civic and social responsibilities. He places special emphasis on all round development with focus on inculcating self-discipline, good moral values, ethics, work culture and a positive attitude to make the students not just competent professionals but also good citizens and responsible members of the society.

His wide ranging experience, vision and dynamism have infused inspiration and provided a road map for academic institutions to achieve the zenith of excellence in all fields of activities.

Dr. R.K. Agarwal’s extraordinary inspiring-vision catapulted AKGEC to numero uno position for all time to come. He took the momentous decision in 2010 to launch this biannual publication to nurture creativity and encourage innovations. The journal received manuscripts even from overseas authors, earning accolades from research community worldwide.
