Three all-girls’ teams to compete in UIET design-cum-race competition

Displaying their girl power quite literally at a technical festival here in Chandigarh, three all-girl teams are welding, cutting, assembling and lifting the human powered vehicles manufactured by them.

These girls are participants of Efficycle 2012, an inter collegiate design cum race competition organised by UIET department of Panjab University. About 62 qualified teams from various engineering colleges across India including four IITs, BITS Pilani, PEC, UIET and IGIT Delhi, are competing against each other to win the event.

The three teams from Indra Gandhi Institute of Technology, New Delhi, Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute Of Technology And Science, Indore, and Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology, Sambhalpur, Odisha comprise entirely of girls from these colleges.

Though the colleges from Madhya Pradesh and Odisha are co-educational institutes, the girls were selected after clearing various tests within the college. These teams have between six to eight members including two riders, and have innovative names, such as GS Racers AcceloRacerz and Survivors.
