LOCUS 08-09 exhibition will be held from 12th-14th Mangsir (27th-29th November) at Pulchowk Engineering Campus Premises. The organizing team are busy with the final preparation.

LOCUS is a student-initiated movement to help students bridge this gap. Locus, started in the year 2003, aims to provide a platform for innovative ideas and creations. It focuses on providing a fertile ground for intelligent, inquisitive and innovative minds and also broadens the professional experience of the students in the technical field. Locus, keeping up with its literal meaning, has been providing the students the right track to showcase and hence enhance their talent.

Locus organized a Seminar on February 24. The topic was one of the current issues in Nepal "Loadshedding: Why and How Long?" (Loadshedding Kina ra Kahile Samma?). The program was conducted with grand success. The presenters were:

1. Ratna Sansar Shrestha (Director of GTZ)
2. Sher Singh Bhat (Director, Load Dispatch Division, Nepal Electricity Authority)
3. Santosha Nanda Mishra (Former Director of NEA)
4. Dilli Ghimire (Director, Community Based electrification Division)

About 200 participants from different Engineering colleges
attended the seminar.

Locus conducted an Inter-Engineering College Technical Quiz Competition on 21st February. Last year the competition was organised during the Annual LOCUS Technology Festival event days. There were 11 teams from different engineering colleges inside the valley that took part in the quiz. The team from Pulchowk Engineering Campus got the first position. Kantipur Engineering college (Dhapakhel) and National Engineering College (Banasthali) got second and third position respectively. The prize distribution for the winners will be done after the final event which will be held on Jestha 2066.
