The Skill Development Workshop on “Sustainable Pavement Subgrade Using Bagasse Ash-Stabilized Black Cotton Soil” was organized to provide participants with practical knowledge of sustainable and eco-friendly ground improvement techniques used in pavement engineering. The workshop focused on the utilization of bagasse ash, an agricultural waste by-product, for stabilizing black cotton soil to improve its engineering properties and subgrade performance. Participants gained insights into sustainable construction practices, waste material utilization, soil stabilization methods, and their applications in transportation infrastructure development. The session also highlighted recent research advancements, laboratory evaluation techniques, and the environmental benefits of using industrial and agricultural by-products in civil engineering projects. The workshop was designed for students, researchers, academicians, and industry professionals interested in geotechnical and pavement engineering. Interactive discussions and expert guidance helped attendees understand innovative approaches for achieving durable, economical, and sustainable pavement systems.
