It has grown into a premier platform that nurtures creativity, promotes multidisciplinary research, and encourages innovation among our talented students, as well as those from the Delhi NCR region."

SGT student creators at Synergy 2024 proudly presented show-stopping technological solutions for tech, medicine, science, the environment, and more. More than 200 student projects were on display, and amongst this sea of stiff competition, 4 projects stood tall across 4 main award categories:

• Healthcare: VertiGaze Integrated Educational Model (Physiotherapy)

• Future Tech and Innovation: Wireless Charging Station (Engineering)

• Natural Resources and Sustainability: Fabrication of Electrolyser for Hydrogen Production (Engineering)

• Societal Development: Preventing and Addressing Cyberbullying (Law)

Aside from this in-house innovation, Synergy 2024 also gave a platform to school students across Delhi NCR to take their first steps in creating for the future. Students from RP Memorial Sr. Sec School, Uttam Nagar, Delhi, KG Sr. Sec. School, Gurugram, Gian Mandir Public School, Naraina Vihar, New Delhi, came away with the top three honours in this category, receiving Rs. 15,000, Rs. 24,000, and Rs. 30,000 in cash prizes, respectively.

During the course of the event, more than 22,000 students interacted and networked with their peers, educators, and working professionals. The three days also featured enthralling head-to-head competitions in fields like Nukkad Natak, which focused on modern social issues, and Robotics and Drone Competitions, where students displayed their innovations and talent, much to the delight of the audience.

Additionally, "SGT Haat" showcased entrepreneurial skills at their finest, with students stepping into the world of business and creativity. We also saw community empowerment through initiatives like Street Kitchens and Haali ki Thaali, with NGOs sharing their inspiring journeys and products, reminding us that true innovation also lies in making a difference in the lives of others.

The future is now, and thousands got to witness it at Synergy 2024. The event once again lived up to its own reputation and that of SGT University, where the best are nurtured to be even better.
