Named after its founder, a great pioneer of DAV movement, Mahatma Hans Raj, the college has developed from a small building in Lahore to a sprawling campus; from a humble facility to state-of-art world class infrastructure; from a few disciplines to extensive educational avenues that include a large number of courses, internships, industrial hands on trainings and placement assistance. Innovation is at the core of its pedagogy. The college has proudly attained the highest grades with the highest score in NAAC Accreditation and Re-Accreditation. Hans Raj Mahila Maha Vidyalaya offers a vibrant spectrum of postgraduate science departments, including Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Botany, Zoology, Biotechnology, Computer Science & IT and Bioinformatics fostering academic excellence, innovative research, and holistic scientific development. These departments are equipped with well established laboratories and research facilities that promote experimental learning and innovation. With a focus on academic excellence and skill development, they nurture scientific temper and research aptitude among students. About the Event Scientific Roadmap to Viksit Bharat @ 2047 envisions a transformative journey that bridges foundational science with frontier technologies to shape a self-reliant, innovation-driven, and globally empowered India. As the nation marches toward the centenary of its independence in 2047, the vision of Viksit Bharat calls for a robust scientific ecosystem rooted in research excellence, technological advancement, and inclusive development. From the revolutionary possibilities of quantum computing, quantum communication, and advanced materials to the disruptive impact of Artificial Intelligence across healthcare, agriculture, education, governance, and industry, science stands as the cornerstone of national progress. This convention seeks to explore how emerging technologies can synergize with policy, entrepreneurship, academia, and industry to accelerate India’s growth trajectory. The Annual Convention-cum-Workshop is envisioned as a dynamic platform bringing together faculty members, researchers, scholars, and students to deliberate upon contemporary scientific developments, innovative pedagogical approaches, and research advancements in Physics that directly contribute to nation-building. Special emphasis will be placed on outcome based education, skill enhancement, interdisciplinary research, research-oriented learning, and the meaningful integration of emerging technologies ,particularly AI and quantum tools into Physics teaching and experimentation. The convention seeks to align academic practices with the broader vision of the Viksit Bharat Abhiyan. As we navigate from quantum frontiers to AI-driven futures, this annual convention reaffirms our collective commitment to building a resilient, technologically advanced, and globally competitive India , a truly Viksit Bharat by 2047.
