Shri Fattechand Virani,
The Director General
School of Petroleum Technology under Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University (PDPU) -
aims to provide high quality education and advanced knowledge in all areas related to
petroleum technology. School of Petroleum Technology commenced the B.Tech. Programme
in Petroleum Engineering in August, 2007 with four specializations, namely: Reservoir
Engineering, Operations & Production, Instrumentation & Control, and Modeling & Virtual
Reality, We also commenced the postgraduate M.Tech. and Ph.D. programs in January 2008.
We are committed to train petroleum engineers who will not only acquire the required
domain knowledge and skills, but will also be thinkers, innovators and resourceful
professionals. Through a unique curriculum, teaching methodology, and learning experience,
we strive to inspire students to develop analysis, synthesis and life-long learning skills, and
equip them to enter the global oil and gas sector with confidence.
Design and innovation, critical thinking and creative problem-solving, integrated science
laboratory, a spectrum of summer internships, open and technical electives and a set of
humanities, social sciences and management courses - these are some of the features of our
unique curriculum.
Summer Rural Internship (SRI) is a way to sensitize, educate and develop future Engineers
and Managers in energy sector, who are willing to contribute to the industries as well as
society. As an initiative, SRI intends to enhance and strengthen students understanding on
the concept of rural development and rural management. SRI aims to expose students about
the grassroot realities of rural life, strengthen insights and develop skills on participatory
methodologies and tools used in rural development.
School of Petroleum Technology seeks proactive support from the NGOs working in rural
areas of Gujarat for establishing unique partnership between education and development
sectors. We are sure that SRI will be an endearing learning experience for students with the
whole hearted support of NGOs.

Concept
As per the directive of the ministry of Human Resource
Development, Government of India, a Technical programme
should comprise of at least 20% courses on Humanities and
Management. For better execution of policies during ones
professional career, a technocrat is required to come to terms
with the realities of life. In India, Rural population comprises of
nearly 70% of the countrys total population. In a developing
nation like India, cities are getting saturated rapidly in many ways
and the onus on administrative machinery is to focus on rural
areas for development. In this regard, it has become mandatory
to know and understand rural life and its demography. It is in this
reference, School of Petroleum Technology, under the aegis of
Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University, established by a special
act of Assembly (2007), has introduced Summer Rural Internship
(SRI) as a course in B.Tech Petroleum Engineering Programme for
first year students.
