Dams can be considered as temples of modern engineering in India. It solves 3 indispensable problems which can affect economy of any country; it adds into Power production, agriculture and controls floods. At Vadodara I was delighted to see plans, models and benefits of Kalpsar project. The most enthralling thing to notice is History of Dams in India. Every Dam project undoubtedly is hard job, Nehruian Engineers did great and most prestigious project in India in northern India, Bhakra - Nagal Dam.

If you are struggling to understand a concept, visualization is a good technique to start with. 2) Rote Memorization I’m not a huge fan of this method, but sometimes brute force is required. Rote memorization involves pounding information into your brain by repeating it continually. Works best when the information is arbitrary and fact-based, so applications won’t go beyond simple memory. 3) Interlinking Take two ideas and ask yourself how they relate. They can be ideas within a specific field (short roads) or between two completely different fields (freeways). By doing this you create a roadmap for
