On 17th September 2025, a group of 61 students of B. Com 5 C from Sri Aurobindo College of Commerce and Management, Ludhiana visited Shreyans Industries Ltd., a leading paper manufacturing company, as part of their experiential learning exposure. The visit was designed to provide comprehensive insights into the functioning of the paper manufacturing sector, covering every stage of the process.
The students were first addressed by the HR department, who introduced them to the company’s vision, mission, and overall organizational structure, highlighting career opportunities in the industry. The manufacturing team gave a detailed explanation of the production process, beginning with the use of Agro-based raw materials, which are converted into pulp through specialized treatments. Students witnessed the systematic transformation of pulp into paper through processes of refining, bleaching, sheet formation, and quality testing. The procurement team elaborated on sourcing strategies, cost considerations, and quality checks for raw materials, while the technical staff demonstrated the advanced machinery and automation techniques that ensure efficiency and uniformity in production.
The session also highlighted the importance of stock maintenance as per specific standards and how meticulous monitoring is done at each stage to deliver paper of desired quality. The visit concluded with a demonstration of the packaging process, where students observed how finished paper is cut, wrapped, and packaged for distribution in the market. The exposure gave the students a holistic understanding of the industrial value chain, from raw material procurement to the final product delivery.
The interactive discussions and Q&A session allowed students to connect classroom concepts of production management, supply chain logistics, and quality assurance with their practical applications in the industry. The industrial visit proved to be a valuable experiential learning opportunity, fostering industry-academia linkage and enhancing students’ professional preparedness. Principal Prof. (Dr.) Vishal Kumar appreciated the initiative, emphasizing that such industrial visits play a vital role in bridging the gap between academic knowledge and practical application while enhancing the professional outlook of students.
