Turbat, December 10, 2021 (PPI-OT):As per the requirement of BS, final year students highlighted some real-world problems and worked on their projects throughout the year. There were three groups, and each of them fulfilled the requirements and presented their proposed solution.

The projects were listed as:

Home Automation System

Solar Tracking system

Library Management System

Home Automation System

Conventional wall switches located in different parts of the house are difficult to be dealt with. Especially it’s hard for elderly or physically handicapped people. Internet of Things (LoT) is among the newest trends in Information Technology (IT). By using the concept of IoT, students implemented a Home Automation System. A remote-controlled home automation system provides a most modern solution with smartphones. Wi-Fi module is interfaced to the microcontroller at the receiver end and on the transmitter end, a smartphone application (Blynk) is used to send ON/OFF commands to the receiver where electrical appliances are connected. By using the Blynk application, the home appliances can be turned ON/OFF remotely and electrical power can be saved.

Solar Tracking System

Secondly, Solar Tracking System was proposed as the solution to automate the usage of Solar Systems. On the basis of the data gathered by the survey, Students highlighted a problem being faced in local areas and worked on a project to automate the rotation of solar panels according to the movement of the sun. Dual-axis Solar Tracking System is used which has two degrees of freedom. First, one automated the rotation of the solar panel according to the movement of the sun, and the second one allows it to know the direction of the sun that changes seasonally. The Solar Tracking System can be implemented at home, small offices, shops, schools, or anywhere where solar panels are required. A solar tracker can be fixed on a roof or on a plane surface where a panel can rotate at 180 degree from east to west and 25 degree from north to south.

Library Management System

The third project was Library Management System which was presented as the proposed solution or Library. Students visited Library to analyze the domain, highlight the key steps required to automate the tasks of the library, and document them as the functional requirements of their system. They developed a Library Management System to eliminate the manual work of the library. Their system had the features like adding, editing and deleting users and books. It has the feature of searching, issuing, and returning books and maintaining the data accordingly.

Turbat, December 06, 2021 (PPI-OT):Institute of Balochi Language and Culture (IBLC) University of Turbat (UoT) organized a literary session on 30th November 2021 in the honour of Allah Bakhsh Bazdar, an eminent poet of the Balochi Language. The session was presided over by Dr. Abdul Saboor Baloch, Director IBLC and Dean, Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, while Allah Bakhsh Buzdar graced the session as chief guest.

Speaking on the occasion, Prof. Dr Abdul Saboor Baloch said that “poetry of Allah Bakhsh Buzdar is a part of MA, BS and MPhil courses of his institute and our students in general, have always been in interaction with Allah Bakhsh Buzdar on academic and literary matters, but it is a moment of pleasure that he is present among us today.” Dr. Abdul Saboor added that “Allah Bakhsh Buzdar is a credible and important reference of modern Balochi poetry which has given a new dimension to the Balochi poetry with unique style, innovation, themes and vocabulary.

Speaking on the occasion, Allah Bakhsh Buzdar said that it was his long-standing desire to have an institute or a university where our children could acquire knowledge and training in line with the requirements of modern times, and luckily our wish had come true after the establishment of University of Turbat. Now it is our collective responsibility to give ownership to this prestigious institution and we should play our due role for its promotion and development.

Dr. Buzdar said that “Balochi is not only a very ancient language but its linguistic geography is also very vast. Due to its massive geographical size and lack of contemporary facilities including modern means of communication, Balochi language could not become a standard literary language worldwide.” He said that like other languages in the world, Balochi has also different dialects, but simultaneously a standard dialect and language is also imperative for its growth.

He underscored that “Uniform alphabets and spelling, active media, common economic market, teaching of language at broader level and other means of communication play an important role in the promotion of language and literature, but unfortunately Balochi Language is still deprived from these modern facilities.” He suggested that we need to take concrete efforts to solve these prevailing problems. Dr. Allah Bakhsh Buzdar presented his poetry on the occasion which was hailed by the audience.

Prominent columnist of Urdu language, Rahat Malik, Rustam Baloch Advocate, Dr. Ghulam Muhammad Khetran, Siddique Khetran, Qazi Noor Ahmed, Sartaj Gichki, research scholars, faculty members and students in large number attended the session. In the end, Prof. Dr. Abdul Saboor Baloch presented a set of books published by the IBLC to the chief guest. Assistant Professor Dr. Sadiq Saba performed the responsibilities of stage secretary on the occasion.
