The problems created by muscular disorders caused while dealing with equipments and tools could be reduced to a large extent by Ergonomics. The students undergoing Technical education should be taught the importance of Ergonomics. He complimented the Chairman & the Board of Trustees of XET for the good work they were doing in shaping the career of students who in-turn would shape the country’s future.
