Aeromodelling Workshop – 16th and 17th March,2023
Raipur, March 17 – Aeromodelling alludes to the development of model airplanes that can be static or practical. IEEE WIE AG Kalinga University Student Branch (SBA60204569) hosted a Two Days Aerodynamics Workshop, for girl students from Government Schools on march 16th and 17th . Kalinga University has adopted 6 villages under the Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA) scheme of the Government of India.
