"NIRMAAN 2K14" — Department of Civil Engineering, University College of Engineering (Autonomous), Osmania University

The Department of Civil Engineering, University College of Engineering (Autonomous), Osmania University [UCE, OU] has organized a three day Inter-college National-level student technical symposium — "NIRMAAN 2014" on 14^th,15^th and 16^th of March 2014. The tech-fest attracted students of Civil Engineering from different colleges to showcase their talent. 

"NIRMAAN 2014" formed a platform for like-minded individuals to engage, dicuss, share and exchange ideas, and deliberate on the latest advancements in the realm of Civil Engineering, contributing to the overall progress of the field within the nation. In addition to a wide range of technical events such as presentations, guest lectures, and quizzes, the techfest also encompassed various non-technical activities like spot photography, short films, and various impromptu events.

The very Idea of "NIRMAAN", conceived in the year 2002, was acknowledged with an overwhelming response. Repeating with the spirit of its maiden venture we are determined to continue with our effort of upholding and enriching the saga of NIRMAAN by bringing together the best of young technical minds across the country. "NIRMAAN 2K14" is 13^th edition of NIRMAAN.

The main theme of NIRMAAN 2014 is "Potential Presence - Dynamic future" and the tagline is "Civil Resources - Civilized Reinvigorations". NIRMAAN 2014 is mainly aimed at channeling a mountain of potential resources by reinvigorating them through civilized innovative ideas for 'Dynamic, Progressive and Sustainable Future'.
