Congratulations to Dr Abhishek on the grant of his patent yesterday titled “Modified Geosynthetic Clay Liner Using Black Cotton Soil”. The patent is based on his PhD research conducted under our joint supervision at the Department of Civil Engineering, Harcourt Butler Technical University (HBTU), Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India, formerly known as Harcourt Butler Technological Institute, established in 1921. That’s an outstanding outcome, Abhishek! You have demonstrated great hard work and patience, and have followed my Seven Research Mantras (link.springer.com/article/10.100…). Many congratulations! Your patent has the potential to make lining projects for landfills, ponds, and canals more cost-effective and sustainable, both in India and globally. Your research journey will always remain an inspiring example for others. Wishing you continued success in your academic and professional journey. @CGIPerth @myogiadityanath @CMOfficeUP @narendramodi @PMOIndia @AlboMP @RogerCookMLA

Highly popular soil-related learning episodes for everyone. What is soil? Clay and sand explained simply lnkd.in/gFfZEdnP Soil and rock teach us choices lnkd.in/gM-WbUjq Soil: Many see dirt. Engineers see 3 phases lnkd.in/gxKYmSEY Water vs Soil: Which is truly denser? lnkd.in/gSCn9hqx How small can you really see? lnkd.in/gd9HqBuR #LearningWithDrShukla #EngineeringFundamentals #LifelongLearning

Many people use the words map and plan interchangeably. But do we really know the exact difference? This short episode explains the concept simply through the idea of scale, something fundamental in science, engineering, and everyday understanding. This episode may be useful for children, students, parents, engineers, professionals, and lifelong learners. #LearningWithDrShukla #EngineeringFundamentals #CivilEngineering #Surveying #LifelongLearning Watch here: youtu.be/-DKOj_pNQ0Q

A calm lake may appear silent, but beneath the surface, natural forces are continuously interacting through water, soil, and air. Nature quietly teaches us important lessons about science, engineering, balance, and life. This short episode may inspire children, students, parents, engineers, professionals, and lifelong learners.

How small can the human eye really see? 👀 Often, the tiniest unseen particles govern the strength of foundations — in soil, in science, and in life. What we overlook may shape everything we build. #LearningWithDrShukla #science #engineering #life How small can you really see? | Learning with Dr Shukla youtu.be/tPqnlt2A6kc?si… via @YouTube

At first glance, soil feels solid and heavy, while water flows easily. But science often challenges our assumptions. Density is not about appearance — it is about mass per unit volume. From soil mechanics to life lessons, true strength depends on what fills the inner space. In this AI era, let us strengthen our fundamentals in science, engineering, and life. #LearningWithDrShukla #SoilMechanics #EngineeringFundamentals #LifelongLearning Water vs Soil: Which is truly denser? | Learning with Dr Shukla youtu.be/1zO-bUFZ7Gw?si… via @YouTube
