2.3.1.1 SLUM CONE TEST OF CONCRETE
Slump test is the most weidly used test in the field and laboratory which is used to check the
consistancy of concrete used at a construction site. It provides usefull formation on the
uniformity in the day to day or even hour to hour production of concrete. the main apparatus
used for this test was 30cm height, 20cm bottom width and 10cm top width cylinderical cone,
60cm tamping road and iron plate. The workability dependes on the reversed gap between the
cone and the fresh concrete after tamping and removing of the cone. So, the workability is
classified as:
Very law when the height
is 0-25mm
Low when the hight is 25-50mm
Slum
Medium when 50-100mm
Highly workable when
100-
175mm
Figure 2.2 slump cone and concrete illustration
Based on the above principle we conduct atest at the site and the result was medium so, we proceed
the work.
2.3.1.2 COMPRESSIVE STRENGTHOF CONCRETE

has been compacted, the surface of concrete shall be finished level with the top of the mould
using a trowel; and covered with a glass plate to prevent evaporation.
3. The specimen shall be stored at site for 24+ ½ h under damp matting or sack. After that, the
samples shall be stored in clean water at 27+20C; until the time of test. The ends of all
cylindrical specimens that are not plane within 0.05 mm shall be capped.
4. Just prior to testing, the cylindrical specimen shall be capped with sulphur mixture
comprising 3 parts sulphur to 1 part of inert filler such as fire clay.
5. Specimen shall be tested immediately on removal from water and while they are still in wet
condition.
6. The bearing surface of the testing specimen shall be wiped clean and any loose material
removed from the surface. In the case of cubes, the specimen shall be placed in the machine
in such a manner that the load cube as cast, that is, not to the top and bottom.
7. Align the axis of the specimen with the steel platen, do not use any packing.
8. The load shall be applied slowly without shock and increased continuously at a rate of
approximately 140 kg/sq.cm/min until the resistance of the specimen to the increased load

2.3.2.1 MODIEFIED PROCTER COMPACTIONTEST
THEORY:
In geotechnical engineering, soil compactionis the process in which a stress applied to a
soilcauses densification as air is displaced from the pores between the soil grains. It is an
instantaneous process and always takes place in partially saturated soil (three phase system). The
Proctor compaction test is a laboratory method of experimentally determining the optimal
moisture content at which a given soil type will become most dense and achieve its maximum
dry density.
APPARATUSREQUIRED:
1.Proctor mould having a capacity of 944 cc with an internal diameter of 10.2 cm and a height of
11.6 cm. The mould shall have a detachable collar assembly and a detachable base plate.
2.Rammer: A mechanical operated metal rammer having a 5.08 cm diameter face and a weight
of 2.5 kg. The rammer shall be equipped with a suitable arrangement to control the height of
drop to a free fall of 30 cm.
3.Sample extruder, mixing tools such as mixing pan, spoon, towel, and spatula.
4.A balance of 15 kg capacity, Sensitive balance, Straight edge, Graduated cylinder, Moisture
tins.
PROCEDURE:
1.Take a representative oven-dried sample, approximately 5 kg in the given pan. Thoroughly mix
the sample with sufficient water to dampen it with approximate water content of 4-6 %.
2.Weigh the proctor mould without base plate and collar. Fix the collar and base plate. Place the
soil in the Proctor mould and compact it in 3 layers giving 25 blows per layer with the 2.5 kg
rammer falling through. The blows shall be distributed uniformly over the surface of each layer.
3.Remove the collar; trim the compacted soil even with the top of mould using a straight edge
and weigh.
4.Divide the weight of the compacted specimen by 944 cc and record the result as the
bulkdensity bulk.
5.Remove the sample from mould and slice vertically through and obtain a small sample for
water content.
6.Thoroughly break up the remainder of the material until it will pass a no.4 sieve as judged by
the eye. Add water in sufficient amounts to increase the moisture content of the soil sample by
one or two percentage points and repeat the above procedure for each increment of water added.
Continue this series of determination until there is either a decrease or no change in the wet unit
weight of the compacted soil

2.3.2.2 CALIFORNIABEARING RATIO
THEORY:
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) is defined as the ratio expressed in percentage of force per
unit area required penetrating a soil mass with a circular plunger of 50 mm diameter at the rate of
1.25 mm/min to that required for corresponding penetration in a standard material. Tests are
performed out on natural or compacted soils in water soaked or un-soaked conditions and the
results so obtained are compared with the curves of standard test.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
1. CBR mould with detachable perforated base plate
2. Spacer disc with a removable handle (to be placed inside the mould)
3. Collar of 50mm high
4. Penetration plunger of 50 mm diameter
5. One annular and a few slotted surcharge masses 2.5 kg each
6. Rammer (2.6 kg with 310mm drop for standard proctor results) and (4.89 kg with
450mm drop for modified proctor results)
7. Straight cutting edge
8. Loading machine of 50 kN capacity fitted with a calibrated proving ring to which plunger
has to be attached
9. Penetration measuring dial gauge of 0.01mm accuracy
10. Soaking tank
11. Swelling gauge consisting of perforated plate with adjustable extension stem
Mould Specification:
Diameter of the mould = 150mm
Height of the mould = 175mm
Height of the CBR soil specimen = 125mm
Soil specification:
Particle size = should pass through 19mm sieve
Soil particles of size greater than 19mm should be replaced by particles of size between 4.75mm
and 19mm

PROCEDURE:
2. Take the weight of empty mould
3. Keep the spacer disc on the base plate and a filter paper on the disc and fix the mould to
the base plate with the disc inside the mould and the attach the collar over the mould.
4. Add water to the specimen and compact it in accordance to Standard proctor test or
modified proctor test .
5. After compaction, remove the collar and level the surface using cutting edge.
6. Detach the base pate and remove the spacer disc.
7. Take the weight of mould + compacted specimen and determine the bulk density of the
specimen
8. Take sample for moisture content determination and hence find the dry density
9. Place filter paper on the perforated base plate.
10. Fix the mould upside down to the base plate so that surface of the specimen which was
downwards in contact with spacer disc during compaction is now turned upwards on
which the penetration test is to be performed (for unsoaked condition).
11. For soaked condition, Fix adjustable stem and perforated plate on the compacted soil
specimen in the mould along with 2.5kg surcharge load
12. Place the above set up in the soaking tank for four days (ignore this step in case of
unsoaked CBR).
13. After four days, measure the swell reading and find % swell with the help of dial gauge
reading
14. Remove the mould from the tank and allow water to drain.
15. Then place the specimen under the penetration piston and place total surcharge load of
4kg (2.5kg during soaking + 1.5 kg during testing)
16. The load and deformation gauges shall then be set to zero
17. Load shall be applied to the plunger into the soil at the rate of 1.25 mm per minute.
18. Reading of the load shall be taken at penetrations of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 4.0, 5.0, 7.5,
10.0 and 12.5 mm
19. Remove the plunger and determine the water content of the soil.
20. Plot load versus deformation curve

2.3.2.3 ATTERBERGLIMITS (LIQUID AND PLASTIC LIMIT)
OBJECTIVE:-
This lab is performed to determine the plastic and liquid limits of a fine-grained soil. The
liquid limit (LL) is arbitrarily defined as the water content, in percent, at which a pat of soil in a
standard cup and cut by a groove of standard dimensions will flow together at the base of the
groove for a distance of 13 mm (1/2 in.) when subjected to 25 shocks from the cup being
dropped 10 mm in a standard liquid limit apparatus operated at a rate of two shocks per second.
The plastic limit (PL) is the water content, in percent, at which a soil can no longer be deformed
by rolling into 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) diameter threads without crumbling.
Equipment:
Liquid limit device, Porcelain (evaporating) dish, Flat grooving tool with gage, Eight
moisture cans, Balance, Glass plate, Spatula, Wash bottle filled with distilled water, Drying
oven set at 105°C.
Test Procedure:
Liquid Limit:
1. Take roughly 3/4 of the soil and place it into the porcelain dish. Assume that
the soil was previously passed though a No. 40 sieve, air-dried, and then
pulverized. Thoroughly mix the soil with a small amount of distilled water
until it appears as a smooth uniform paste. Cover the dish with cellophane to
prevent moisture from escaping.
2. Weigh four of the empty moisture cans with their lids, and record the
respective weights and can numbers on the data sheet.
2. Place a portion of the previously mixed soil into the cup of the liquid limit
apparatus at the point where the cup rests on the base. Squeeze the soil down to
eliminate air pockets and spread it into the cup to a depth of about 10 mm at its
deepest point. The soil pat should form an approximately horizontal surface .

3. Use the grooving tool carefully cut a clean straight groove down the center of the
cup. The tool should remain perpendicular to the surface of the cup as groove is
being made.
4. Make sure that the base of the apparatus below the cup and the underside of the
cup is clean of soil. Turn the crank of the apparatus at a rate of approximately two
drops per second and count the number of drops, N, it takes to make the two
halves of the soil pat come into contact at the bottom of the groove along a
distance of 10
5. Take a sample, using the spatula, from edge to edge of the soil pat. The sample
should include the soil on both sides of where the groove came into contact. Place the
soil into a moisture can cover it. Immediately weigh the moisture can containing the
soil, record its mass, remove the lid, and place the can into the oven. Leave the moisture
can in the oven for at least 16 hours. Clean and dry the cup on the apparatus and the
grooving tool.
6. Remix the entire soil specimen in the porcelain dish. Add a small amount
of distilled water to increase the water content so that the number of drops required
to close the groove decrease.
7. Repeat steps six, seven, and eight for at least two additional trials producing
successively lower numbers of drops to close the groove. One of the trials shall
be for a closure requiring 25 to 35 drops, one for closure between 20 and 30
drops, and one trial for a closure requiring 15 to 25 drops. Determine the water
content from each trial by using the same method used in the first laboratory.
Plastic Limit:
(1) Weigh the remaining empty moisture cans with their lids, and record the
respective weights and can numbers on the data sheet.
Civil engg.Dept.ITMGwalior Final internshipreport
Written by: Anup singh 2017/18 Page 23
Hosting company: Path India private Limited.
(2) Take the remaining 1/4 of the original soil sample and add distilled water
until the soil is at a consistency where it can be rolled without sticking to the
hands.
(3) When the diameter of the thread reaches the correct diameter, break the thread
into several pieces. Knead and reform the pieces into ellipsoidal masses and re-roll them.
Continue this alternate rolling, gathering together, kneading and re-rolling until the
thread crumbles under the pressure required for rolling and can no longer be rolled into a
3.2 mm diameter thread.
3. Gather the portions of the crumbled thread together and place the soil into a moisture
can, then cover it. If the can does not contain at least 6 grams of soil, add soil to the can
from the next trial .
Immediately weigh the moisture can containing the soil, record its mass,
remove the lid, and place the can into the oven. Leave the moisture can in
the oven for at least 16 hours.
4. Repeat steps three, four, and five at least two more times. Determine the water content
from each trial by using the same method used in the first laboratory. Remember to use
the same balance for all weighing.

(5) If deflocculation is required, 2% calgon solution is used instead of water.
(6) The sample is stirred and left for soaking period of at least 1 hour.
(7) The slurry is then sieved through 4.75 mm sieve and washed with a jet of water.
(8) The material retained on the sieve is the gravel fraction, which should be dried in oven
and weighed.
(9) The material passing through 4.75 mm sieve is sieved through 75 micron sieve.
(10) The material is washed until the water filtered becomes clear.
(11) The soil retained on 75 micron sieve is collected and dried in oven.
(12) It is then sieved through the sieve shaker for ten minutes and retained material on each
sieve is collected and weighed.
(13) The material that would have been retained on pan is equal to the total mass of soil
minus the sum of the masses of material retained on all sieves.
(14) Draw the curve for the soil in the semi-logarithmic graph in order to obtain grain size
distribution curve.

2.3.3.4 SIEVE ANALYSIS OF COARSE AGGREGATE
Objective : To determine fineness modulus of fine aggregate and classifications based on
IS: 383-1970
Reference : IS : 2386 ( Part I) – 1963, IS: 383-1970, IS : 460-1962
Theory :
This is the name given to the operation of dividing a sample of aggregate into various
fractions each consisting of particles of the same size. The sieve analysis is conducted to
determine the particle size distribution in a sample of aggregate, which we call
gradation. Many a time, fine aggregates are designated as coarse sand, medium sand and
fine sand. These classifications do not give any precise meaning. What the supplier
terms as fine sand may be really medium or even coarse sand. To avoid this ambiguity
fineness modulus could be used as a yard stick to indicate the fineness of sand.
The following limits may be taken as guidance: Fine sand : Fineness Modulus : 2.2 - 2.6,
Medium sand :
F.M. : 2.6 - 2.9, Coarse sand : F.M. : 2.9 - 3.2
Sand having a fineness modulus more than 3.2 will be unsuitable for making satisfactory
concrete.
Apparatus :
Test Sieves conforming to IS : 460-1962 Specification of 4.75 mm, 2.36 mm, 1.18 mm,
600 micron, 300 micron, 150 micron, Balance, Gauging Trowel, Stop Watch, etc.

1. The sample shall be brought to an air-dry condition before weighing and sieving.
The air-dry sample shall be weighed and sieved successively on the appropriate
sieves starting with the largest. Care shall be taken to ensure that the sieves are clean
before use.
2. The shaking shall be done with a varied motion, backward sand forwards, left to
right, circular clockwise and anti-clockwise, and with frequent jarring, so that the
material is kept moving over the sieve surface in frequently changing directions.
3. Material shall not be forced through the sieve by hand pressure. Lumps of fine
material, if present, may be broken by gentle pressure with fingers against the side of
the sieve.
4. Light brushing with a fine camel hair brush may be used on the 150-micron and 75-
micron IS Sieves to prevent aggregation of powder and blinding of apertures.
5. On completion of sieving, the material retained on each sieve, together with any
material cleaned from the mesh, shall be weighed.

Chapter four
4. Conclusion
4.1. Conclusions
The internship is a bridge between the theoretical knowledge and the practical or the reality
work at the field of construction or civil engineering work. We all who take the internship class
go to companies that already working either as a consultant or a contractor. The responsibilities
of the hosting company are to teach student and shape them in the month as a real site workers.
My hosting company is a consultant team and they help me and my friends who took the
internship session in this company in acquiring different knowledge in different positions. They
collaborate with the contractors to teach us in that section and they believe that the practical
knowledge is more important for us then the theoretical knowledge.
This program played an important role to break the conventional thought that field works can
be only implemented by students who hold a degree or people who have an experience in
building construction& Road construction. We were able to acquire a high level of confidence
to deal with problems that arise in a construction.
Since I took my internship session in the AGRA – GWALIOR PATHWAYS
PRIVATE LIMITED(NH3), I get an opportunity to work in the different party of the
construction work which helps me to gain more knowledge by seeing what they work in their
own office and what is their main responsibilities to the client and also each other.
Working with a Lab team gets me more knowledge than that of the contractor in case that the
consultation work includes the duty of the site engineers and in the consultant office there are
different office that are more important for me to upgrade my knowledge in different aspects
of work.
From the site team especially from the chief Engineer I got some clues about how to design and
the phases and different procedure in the designing of any road starting from subgrade to
Ashpalting .
They help me to understand what is going to be when I work in the any company. The Engineers
also avail practical knowledge for us to improve our practical knowledge status in the field. And
also the Engineers make us more familiar with site works starting from communication skill,
handling of different site works equipment utilization manpower control to finishing of the work
within the time scheduled by the client. However, this internship program was not free from
challenges. The most challenge was the amount of money allocated to the project was
insufficient to handle all the expense of the students during the internship experience and
shortage of resource for student like computer, class rooms for student only and any other

problem exist. But they come up with the challenges and teach us how we must gown to be in
the field after the graduation.
Overall the internship program laid sound foundation for us to start our career. We are proud to
be able to contribute towards nation building during the country's extremely critical period of
the history. It will be definitely sensible to scale this practice up and to replicate in other
disciplines as well.

It is an instantaneous process and always takes place in partially saturated soil (three phase system). The Proctor compaction test is a laboratory method of experimentally determining the optimal moisture content at which a given soil type will become most dense and achieve its maximum dry density. APPARATUSREQUIRED: 1.Proctor mould having a capacity of 944 cc with an internal diameter of 10.2 cm and a height of 11.6 cm. The mould shall have a detachable collar assembly and a detachable base plate. 2.Rammer: A mechanical operated metal rammer having a 5.08 cm diameter face and a weight of 2.5 kg. The rammer shall be equipped with a suitable arrangement to control the height of drop to a free fall of 30 cm. 3.Sample extruder, mixing tools such as mixing pan, spoon, towel, and spatula. 4.A balance of 15 kg capacity, Sensitive balance, Straight edge, Graduated cylinder, Moisture tins. PROCEDURE: 1.Take a representative oven-dried sample, approximately 5 kg in the given pan. Thoroughly mix the sample with sufficient water to dampen it with approximate water content of 4-6 %. 2.Weigh the proctor mould without base plate and collar. Fix the collar and base plate. Place the soil in the Proctor mould and compact it in 3 layers giving 25 blows per layer with the 2.5 kg rammer falling through. The blows shall be distributed uniformly over the surface of each layer. 3.Remove the collar; trim the compacted soil even with the top of mould using a straight edge and weigh. 4.Divide the weight of the compacted specimen by 944 cc and record the result as the bulkdensity bulk. 5.Remove the sample from mould and slice vertically through and obtain a small sample for water content. 6.Thoroughly break up the remainder of the material until it will pass a no.4 sieve as judged by the eye. Add water in sufficient amounts to increase the moisture content of the soil sample by one or two percentage points and repeat the above procedure for each increment of water added. Continue this series of determination until there is either a decrease or no change in the wet unit weight of the compacted soil Table . 2.3

The liquid limit (LL) is arbitrarily defined as the water content, in percent, at which a pat of soil in a standard cup and cut by a groove of standard dimensions will flow together at the base of the groove for a distance of 13 mm (1/2 in.) when subjected to 25 shocks from the cup being dropped 10 mm in a standard liquid limit apparatus operated at a rate of two shocks per second. The plastic limit (PL) is the water content, in percent, at which a soil can no longer be deformed by rolling into 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) diameter threads without crumbling. Equipment: Liquid limit device, Porcelain (evaporating) dish, Flat grooving tool with gage, Eight moisture cans, Balance, Glass plate, Spatula, Wash bottle filled with distilled water, Drying oven set at 105°C. Test Procedure: Liquid Limit: 1. Take roughly 3/4 of the soil and place it into the porcelain dish. Assume that the soil was previously passed though a No. 40 sieve, air-dried, and then pulverized. Thoroughly mix the soil with a small amount of distilled water until it appears as a smooth uniform paste. Cover the dish with cellophane to prevent moisture from escaping. 2. Weigh four of the empty moisture cans with their lids, and record the respective weights and can numbers on the data sheet. 2. Place a portion of the previously mixed soil into the cup of the liquid limit apparatus at the point where the cup rests on the base. Squeeze the soil down to eliminate air pockets and spread it into the cup to a depth of about 10 mm at its deepest point. The soil pat should form an approximately horizontal surface .

Use the grooving tool carefully cut a clean straight groove down the center of the cup. The tool should remain perpendicular to the surface of the cup as groove is being made. 4. Make sure that the base of the apparatus below the cup and the underside of the cup is clean of soil. Turn the crank of the apparatus at a rate of approximately two drops per second and count the number of drops, N, it takes to make the two halves of the soil pat come into contact at the bottom of the groove along a distance of 10 5. Take a sample, using the spatula, from edge to edge of the soil pat. The sample should include the soil on both sides of where the groove came into contact. Place the soil into a moisture can cover it. Immediately weigh the moisture can containing the soil, record its mass, remove the lid, and place the can into the oven. Leave the moisture can in the oven for at least 16 hours. Clean and dry the cup on the apparatus and the grooving tool. 6. Remix the entire soil specimen in the porcelain dish. Add a small amount of distilled water to increase the water content so that the number of drops required to close the groove decrease. 7. Repeat steps six, seven, and eight for at least two additional trials producing successively lower numbers of drops to close the groove. One of the trials shall be for a closure requiring 25 to 35 drops, one for closure between 20 and 30 drops, and one trial for a closure requiring 15 to 25 drops. Determine the water content from each trial by using the same method used in the first laboratory. Plastic Limit: (1) Weigh the remaining empty moisture cans with their lids, and record the respective weights and can numbers on the data sheet.

(2) Take the remaining 1/4 of the original soil sample and add distilled water until the soil is at a consistency where it can be rolled without sticking to the hands. (3) When the diameter of the thread reaches the correct diameter, break the thread into several pieces. Knead and reform the pieces into ellipsoidal masses and re-roll them. Continue this alternate rolling, gathering together, kneading and re-rolling until the thread crumbles under the pressure required for rolling and can no longer be rolled into a 3.2 mm diameter thread. 3. Gather the portions of the crumbled thread together and place the soil into a moisture can, then cover it. If the can does not contain at least 6 grams of soil, add soil to the can from the next trial . Immediately weigh the moisture can containing the soil, record its mass, remove the lid, and place the can into the oven. Leave the moisture can in the oven for at least 16 hours. 4. Repeat steps three, four, and five at least two more times. Determine the water content from each trial by using the same method used in the first laboratory. Remember to use the same balance for all weighing.

The sieve analysis is conducted to determine the particle size distribution in a sample of aggregate, which we call gradation. Many a time, fine aggregates are designated as coarse sand, medium sand and fine sand. These classifications do not give any precise meaning. What the supplier terms as fine sand may be really medium or even coarse sand. To avoid this ambiguity fineness modulus could be used as a yard stick to indicate the fineness of sand. The following limits may be taken as guidance: Fine sand : Fineness Modulus : 2.2 - 2.6, Medium sand : F.M. : 2.6 - 2.9, Coarse sand : F.M. : 2.9 - 3.2 Sand having a fineness modulus more than 3.2 will be unsuitable for making satisfactory concrete. Apparatus : Test Sieves conforming to IS : 460-1962 Specification of 4.75 mm, 2.36 mm, 1.18 mm, 600 micron, 300 micron, 150 micron, Balance, Gauging Trowel, Stop Watch, etc. Procedure :

The sample shall be brought to an air-dry condition before weighing and sieving. The air-dry sample shall be weighed and sieved successively on the appropriate sieves starting with the largest. Care shall be taken to ensure that the sieves are clean before use. 2. The shaking shall be done with a varied motion, backward sand forwards, left to right, circular clockwise and anti-clockwise, and with frequent jarring, so that the material is kept moving over the sieve surface in frequently changing directions. 3. Material shall not be forced through the sieve by hand pressure. Lumps of fine material, if present, may be broken by gentle pressure with fingers against the side of the sieve. 4. Light brushing with a fine camel hair brush may be used on the 150-micron and 75- micron IS Sieves to prevent aggregation of powder and blinding of apertures. 5. On completion of sieving, the material retained on each sieve, together with any material cleaned from the mesh, shall be weighed.

Conclusions The internship is a bridge between the theoretical knowledge and the practical or the reality work at the field of construction or civil engineering work. We all who take the internship class go to companies that already working either as a consultant or a contractor. The responsibilities of the hosting company are to teach student and shape them in the month as a real site workers. My hosting company is a consultant team and they help me and my friends who took the internship session in this company in acquiring different knowledge in different positions. They collaborate with the contractors to teach us in that section and they believe that the practical knowledge is more important for us then the theoretical knowledge. This program played an important role to break the conventional thought that field works can be only implemented by students who hold a degree or people who have an experience in building construction& Road construction. We were able to acquire a high level of confidence to deal with problems that arise in a construction. Since I took my internship session in the AGRA – GWALIOR PATHWAYS PRIVATE LIMITED(NH3), I get an opportunity to work in the different party of the construction work which helps me to gain more knowledge by seeing what they work in their own office and what is their main responsibilities to the client and also each other. Working with a Lab team gets me more knowledge than that of the contractor in case that the consultation work includes the duty of the site engineers and in the consultant office there are different office that are more important for me to upgrade my knowledge in different aspects of work. From the site team especially from the chief Engineer I got some clues about how to design and the phases and different procedure in the designing of any road starting from subgrade to Ashpalting . They help me to understand what is going to be when I work in the any company. The Engineers also avail practical knowledge for us to improve our practical knowledge status in the field. And also the Engineers make us more familiar with site works starting from communication skill, handling of different site works equipment utilization manpower control to finishing of the work within the time scheduled by the client. However, this internship program was not free from challenges. The most challenge was the amount of money allocated to the project was insufficient to handle all the expense of the students during the internship experience and shortage of resource for student like computer, class rooms for student only and any other

But they come up with the challenges and teach us how we must gown to be in the field after the graduation. Overall the internship program laid sound foundation for us to start our career. We are proud to be able to contribute towards nation building during the country's extremely critical period of the history. It will be definitely sensible to scale this practice up and to replicate in other disciplines as well.
