As we are all aware, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has been delivering tangible benefits to the national economy through various means, such as ensuring the provision of safe and reliable quality goods, minimizing health risks to consumers, fostering exports and reducing reliance on imports, and exercising control over the proliferation of product varieties. Last year, our college, in partnership with BIS, established the ABNSC Standards Club with the aim of enhancing students’ practical experience and offering opportunities for their professional and personal development. Through this initiative, students gain awareness about products, their implications, and potential physical and societal hazards. By equipping students with this knowledge, they can effectively educate the broader community about product safety and its impact.
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is a national standards body in India. It develops and
publishes standards to ensure the quality and safety of products.
Respected PRINCIPAL, ABNSEAL COLLEGE,

In recent years, Standards Clubs have garnered prominence
and are being enthusiastically promoted by educational institutions to help improve the
schooling experience of students and provide opportunities to better their professional

opportunities to young talents in the field of quality and standardization through
mutually beneficial collaboration in the form of Standards Clubs in Educational
Institutions. Teachers would have an important role in this activity in guiding and
motivating students to channelize their creativity and enhancing their scientific
temperament. Students are the members of the Standards club and the teachers are the
Mentors of the Club. BIS has created more than 4000 Standards clubs in Schools and
