INDUSTRIAL TRAINING – THEORY TO PRACTICE Dr. Arabinda Sharma

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember.

I do and I understand.” – Confucius.

The saying is more pertinent in recent time as

industrial training has become an integral

part of the syllabus for technical students

across the country. Industrial training is one

where a student undergoes a period of

training with an organization usually during a

semester break. The main objective of the

Industrial training is to prepare graduate

students for industry. However, it has many

other advantages which are outlined below:

Industrial training provides an exposure of

the working environment of industry to

the students.

Enables students for hands on practice

within a real job situation.

Helps students to gain their self-

confidence and discover their own ability.

Helps nurturing leadership quality and

sense of responsibility in students to

perform the given task.

Promotes industry academia partnership.

Appreciates and understands the practical

application of students’ academic

programme

Builds network within profession.

Fosters out of box thinking and decision

making ability.

Inculcates skill sets and work ethics

among the industry needed by industry.

Provides a lifelong learning experience

along with university curriculum

Brings new perspectives and ideas on the

scope of engineering study

Helps students to become job-ready, thus

increasing the student’s employment

prospects.

With the above mentioned advantages,

industrial training plays an important role in

preparing the students for professional

career. However, students need to prepare

themselves for a suitable industrial training

in their chosen areas of interest. It is also

imperative that they should be equipped

themselves with necessary soft silks and

technical skills before applying for industrial

training in a particular organization.

An Overview of The Goods and Services Tax

The Goods and Services Tax (G.S.T.) is a

landmark step taken by the Government of

India to boost the GDP and introduce a more

effective tax regime.

GST is a win-win situation for the entire

country. It brings benefits to all the

stakeholders of the industry, government

and the consumer. It will lower the cost of

goods and services to give a boost to the

economy and make the products and

services globally competitive. By subsuming

most of the central and state taxes into a

single tax and by allowing a set-off of prior-

stage taxes for the transactions across the

entire value chain, it would mitigate the ill

effects of cascading and improve

competitiveness and liquidity of the

businesses.

GST will be applicable to all dealers whose

aggregate turnover in a financial year

exceeds INR 2.00 Million (INR 1.00 Million

in case of eleven special category states).

Separate registration will be required in

every state from where a taxable supply of

goods or services is made.

This article covers below some of the

peculiar provisions of GST having a crucial

impact on the industry and provides an

insightful perspective regarding the same

Reverse Charge:

If the supplier is not registered under GST

and is supplying taxable goods or services to

a recipient who is registered, the GST on

such taxable supplies shall be borne by the

recipient on reverse charge basis. Meaning

registration seems to be mandatory for every

party; else it is quite possible that owing to

extra compliance issues people might be

interested in doing business only with those

parties who are registered under the GST

legislation, this registration parameter might

create a big time hassle among small

trader’s as they might lose some business

until they get registered under GST. Thus, in

order to counter this issue, a monetary

threshold limit in place will act as a cushion


3 | P a g e

for such small business houses till the time

they come fully under the ambit of GST

compliance.

Ratings:

The government will give an online

rating on level, timeliness and efficiency

of compliances. Non-compliance will not

just lead to penalties but also blacklisting,

which can affect the future creditability,

reputation and can harm the business

growth of a business.

This online rating is going to be available

on the web portal and one can check and

decide business associations on the basis

of these ratings.

GST on Stock Transfer:

GST is chargeable on stock transfers to

depots and stockists. This will further

increase the working capital requirement

as the suppliers have to incur cost on

transfer of goods to own godowns and

depots without any actual revenue getting

accrued or realized.

The GST paid in such a case can be

claimed as input tax credit on sale of

goods from depots or warehouses.

Area Based Exemptions:

Under the current tax laws North East,

Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh have

certain areas exempted from excise duty and

other state taxes. Department of Industrial

Policy and Promotion is working on a

scheme where companies will have to pay

tax upfront and can claim refund of the same

in the areas stated above. Taxes paid also

can be claimed as set off against any

liability. The industry wants clarity on

policy and time for adjustment. It is keen on

availing smooth and hassle free refunds.

Free of Cost Supply as

Sample/Gifts/Promotional Schemes:

Free samples and gifts offered with

purchases as well as popular ‘buy-one-

get-one-free’ deals may attract GST.

GST will be entirely based on the concept

of a ‘supply’, which now includes even

goods and/ or services supplied without

consideration by a taxable person in the

course of or furtherance of business. This

will impact the sales and marketing cost

of companies which follow such

schemes. Buyers will have to pay GST on

articles they receive free.

Presently, for a free sample of goods,

excise duty is payable but VAT/ CST is

not payable. However, proportionate

input tax credit under VAT is reversible

in some states. The net impact for

businesses will therefore be the

difference between the existing excise

and VAT cost, and the GST which will

become payable.

Now again, the question that arises is

about the goods replaced under a

warranty as these goods are again free of

cost. But, generally the vendor is charged

the warranty cost at the time of supply,

which is hidden in the final price of the

product.


4 | P a g e

GST on Allocation of Common Expenses:

Intra-company transactions are proposed to

be taxed under GST. Any secondment of

employees, sharing of common expenses

between related companies would be taxed.

Though, the receiving entity would be

entitled to avail credit of tax charged by the

supplying company, this would result in the

requirement of additional working capital

for all such companies.

Branch Office (“BO”) and Head Office

(“HO”) Transactions:

BO and HO are separate persons for the

purposes of GST levy. It becomes

important to determine the place of

supply of the transaction in order to

determine GST implications. Should the

place of supply be in India, then as per

Section 10 of the Integrated Goods and

Service Tax (“IGST”), the transaction

shall be subject to IGST under reverse

charge.

GST will be applicable where overseas

BO is supplying to Indian HO, Indian BO

supplying to Indian HO and vice versa.

GST on Advance Payment:

From some peculiar provision under the

GST Act, GST on advance payment is one.

In the present situation except service tax no

other law requires to pay tax on advances.

Now the taxpayer will have to pay GST on

the advancement of goods and services in

GST. After giving advance to the supplier

the buyer will not get the credit of GST.

Whenever the supplier supplies goods or

services and gives the tax invoice to the

receiver then only the buyer will get the

credit of GST. If the rates can’t be

ascertained at the time of taking advance,

then GST will be charged @ 18%. The

money will be blocked for during this time

until the supply is completed. Similarly, the

supplier will charge GST on the remaining

amount by deducting the advance from the

total amount. Every small or large business

will have to pay attention towards

accounting and must be compliant with the

law. Accounting software’s need to be

upgraded to charge tax based on receipt

invoice.

Concluding Remark

GST is indeed an important perfection and

the next logical step towards a

widespread indirect tax reforms in India.

It is a value added tax because at every

stage, tax is being paid on the value

addition. Post implementation effect of GST

on industry and services sector is not clear

and will take time fully realize it. Thus its

benefit to the economy cannot surely be

undermined.

SWIMMING MICROBOTS KILL WATERBORNE PATHOGENS

One of the most serious health risks for

people around the world is inadequate

access to clean water. Waterborne diseases

have devastating impacts on public health—

for example, E.Coli bacteria cause an

estimated 265,000 infections each year in

the U.S.

Current disinfection methods depend largely

on chemicals and disinfectants. However,

some pathogens cannot be killed using

conventional disinfectants and require a

combination of methods, or higher

disinfectant doses, which can leave harmful

byproducts in the water.

As a result, a pressing need exists for more

effective water-cleaning technologies that

are also safe for the environment and human

health.

Figure 1: Swimming microbots purify water

by capturing and killing bacteria, before

being removed with magnets. Image:

American Chemical Society

Intrigued by the use of catalytic, self-

propelled micromotors as an environmental

tool for capturing heavy metals and other

pollutants, Diana Vilela and Samuel

Sánchez, scientists at Max-Planck Institute

for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart,

Germany, and the Institute for

Bioengineering of Catalonia in Barcelona,

Spain, explored a similar concept for

removing waterborne bacteria. With the help

of several other collaborators, they

developed a self-propelled microrobot that is

highly effective in removing E. coli bacteria

from contaminated water. They presented

their results in June 2017 in paper published

by the American Chemical Society.

How the Robots Work

Sánchez and Vilela developed microbots

that rely on a chemical reaction to propel

them through the water; they are coated with

an exterior layer of silver nanoparticles to

kill the bacteria they encounter.

“The structure of the microbot relies on a

magnesium microparticle as a template,

which also functions as propulsion source by

producing hydrogen bubbles when in

contact with water,” they write. “An inner

iron magnetic layer enables their remote

guidance and collection. The outer silver-

nanoparticle-coated gold layer facilitates

bacterial adhesion and improves bactericidal

properties.”

The robot is sometimes called “two-faced"

or “Janus” because one side is made with

magnesium, which reacts with water to

produce the hydrogenbubbles. The other

side is composed of alternating iron and

gold layers topped by silver nanoparticles.

Bacteria adhere to the gold and are killed by

the silver nanoparticles.

“Fabricating mechanical microrobots is

challenging,” says Sánchez. “Keeping a

simple design is sufficient for motion—for

example, providing an asymmetry in the

chassis. Asymmetry is created by elegantly

depositing thin layers [tens of nanometers]

of iron and gold on one side. This is the

same side that is coated with silver

nanoparticles.”

Figure 2: Particles can motor in water for

15-20 min before the fuel or magnesium is

spent.

Once deployed, the microbots are

autonomous—they move through the water,

trapping and killing bacteria. Lab tests

showed that the microbots killed about 80

percent of E. coli in a contaminated water

solution within 15 minutes. After the job is

finished, the robots are removed from the

water with a magnet, along with the

captured dead bacteria.

Particles can motor in water for 15-20 min

before the fuel or magnesium is spent.

Future Possibilities

Sánchez and Vilela have shown their

magnesium-based Janus microbot is

effective at removing bacteria. It is also

biocompatible, environmentally friendly,

and does not produce chemical waste during

and after operation.

Their approach shows great promise for

rapid disinfection of water. This is good

news, considering that nearly 700 million

people lack clean drinking water.

The study has proven that the successful

combination of active systems and

nanomaterials to develop new micromotors

for the cleaning of waterborne bacteria from

contaminated water practically feasible. In

future work will be further extended to carry

out using pathogenic bacteria in

contaminated drinking water. This study

opens real possibilities for developing novel

micro- and nano-machines for demanded

energy and environmental applications.”
