However, despite its grandeur and promise, the SDB has found itself grappling with a haunting label — the “ghost building.” The cavernous halls meant to be filled with the hum of trade have instead echoed with emptiness. But now, a new chapter is unfolding as the management of SDB embarks on a mission to breathe life back into its corridors. The diamond industry has long been synonymous with Surat, known as the diamond capital of the world.

  A team of four students from Surat, Gujarat, has made headlines with their latest creation - a robot that can walk like a human and even pull a rickshaw. The students have used their knowledge of robotics and engineering to create a machine that could revolutionize the way we look at automation. The robot has been designed to replicate the walking motion of a human being, and it can even bend its knees and ankles like a human. The students have also added an extra feature that allows the robot to pull a rickshaw, making it a viable alternative for human rickshaw pullers. The team has been working on the project for several months and has faced several challenges along the way. They have used 3D printing technology to create the parts and components of the robot, and have also programmed it to follow specific instructions and commands. The robot has already generated a lot of interest from the local community, with many people curious to see the machine in action. The team hopes t...
