BAJA -09 :
On 14th July 2006, during SAEINDIA Managing Committee Meeting at Chennai,
it was decided that SAEINDIA would arrange BAJA SAEINDIA 07, a common competition similar to Mini Baja,
grown to seven competitions: three in North America and one each in Brazil, Korea, Mexico and South Africa.
Dr. Pawan Goenka, President, SAEINDIA and President, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., Automotive Sector supported this
idea and requested Dr. K. C. Vora, ARAI, Pune to become the Convener of BAJA SAEINDIA. Friday, Saturday & Sunday i.e.
21, 22 & 23 December 2007 dates were fixed for this event.
This marks the dawn of a new era in the history of SGGSIE&T, Nanded. Motivated by industry experts like Dr. K. C. Vora and Mr. Behram Dhabhar of M&M Ltd. our students decided to participate in the event.
BAJA is an “inter engineering college” competition in which student teams design and fabricate an All Terrain Vehicle and then finally compete with each other by making the vehicle available for rigorous inspection by industry experts and endurance test.
Our Institute’s team (PHOENIX) is participating since the last three events. It is noteworthy that we do not have Mechanical Engineering / Automobile Engineering as a course in our Institute. We are including the photographs of the three vehicles designed and developed by our students for participation in BAJA 2007 (December), 2009 (January) and 2010 (January).
