Innovation by Civil Engineering Students of CGC Jhanjeri

April 1, 2021: The Civil Engineering students of Chandigarh Group of Colleges (CGC), Jhanjeri have come up with innovative ideas to address the urgent issue of traffic congestion at Landran crossing, including a short-term, low-cost solution and a long-term, permanent solution that will cost more money and time. The students conducted a thorough survey of the area around the T-Junction that has developed at this crossing. They came to the conclusion that the main cause of the traffic jam is a huge number of students leaving Mohali and turning left towards CGC Landran, Tangori, Banur, and other destinations, as well as nearly an equal number of people turning right towards CGC Jhanjeri, Fatehgarh Sahib, and Kharar. CGC Jhanjeri's Civil Engineering students have discovered barren land near this crossing. If a 7.5 m wide slip road, about 127 m long, is built from a point about 90 m before this crossing up to CGC Landran, and another slip road from CGC Landran of the same width and about 214 m lengths, meeting Landran-Sirhind Road (SH 12A) as shown in the map of these roads shown above, the traffic density can be reduced to less than half. Both of these slip roads, which cost about Rs. 20 lakh each, would be very useful in reducing traffic congestion at this busy crossing. The second solution proposed by these students is a one-of-a-kind flyover that they produced some time ago. However, this is a costly and time-consuming proposal. The planned flyover is also shown in the drawing above.

Dr GD Bansal, Director General, stated that CGC Jhanjeri students transform their creative ideas into realistic ventures that benefit society. Because of this, our students' projects from all disciplines have received awards at national level competitions, IITs, Pushpa Gujral Science City, and other prestigious institutions.
