Dr.T.Suneeti, BVRIT Narsapur
Could you share with us about your
childhood dreams and your journey to
Microsoft?
In childhood, I played all kinds of games and at
one time I wanted to be a cricketer but, as I
grew up I wanted to be an engineer for sure.
My father passed away when I was 2 years old
and my mother bought us up. I have a brother
and two sisters. I am the last one in the family.
All the four of us got well educated. I did
Intermediate in CSR Sharma college, Ongole
and then Mechanical Engineering at Andhra
University. Most of my learning was in Telugu
medium up to engineering college. At that time
though, I was good at writing and reading,
communication was a challenge.
Next, I did Masters in Computer Science, and
that was actually the first time I had my hands
on a computer. All my learning happened in
those two years with regard to Computer
Science, people skills, and building
relationships. It was completely a different
environment for me where people came from
different states and countries. Adapting myself
to the environment was the greatest learning
for me. I think, one should never miss what
one has to learn beyond the course of study
because that is a great learning which helps
when you get into job environment. It's about
the ability to connect with people, the ability to
communicate, articulate your ideas, and the
thought process that is incredibly important
and that is one of the things we all have to pick
up from engineering. Then I got hooked to
Computer Science from day one. This is one
field where you can actually transform ideas
into reality by sitting with just one box in front of
you. But as I came from a different background
i.e., Mechanical engineering, I had to do a lot of
extra courses to cope up with the course. I was
able to pick up the core foundations of
Computer Science in one semester. So by the
time I finished the course I was well versed with
the whole notion of algorithms, programming
languages, designing software and so on
which helped me tremendously grow in my life.
During that time, I got an idea about doing a
new protocol for local area network, and hence
wrote a program to simulate and published it in
an International Conference.
Then right after my Masters, I joined Microsoft.
I worked for 9 years on Windows, and Office.
Then they asked me whether I can go to India
and start Microsoft India R&D Centre. So I had
to think about it for a couple of months because
I was working on the next generation of Office
and it was a very interesting product versus
starting an organization in India. Moreover, till
then I was a Development Manager, mostly a
technical guy, switching from that to a role of
creating an organization is a huge change.
Then I thought that there are so many people
who come to US and become successful in
almost all the companies. If they are able to do
it in US why can't we do it in India. It is not lack
of talent but it is the lack of environment that is
restricting them. So I decided to create an
organization where we can get the best talent
and build global talent in India, and that was my
main driver to come to India.
Is there any specific reason or incident
behind starting Mission R&D, and how did
you go about starting this program?
Even before we left Microsoft, we kept on
talking why is the situation so bad, and how do
we fix it. There are people talking about

ISSUE 08 APR 2015

finishing schools after 4 years but we know that all
the good guys are gone by then. They may get
through campus placements or they may get a job.
But the good thing is they will all get jobs. The not
so good thing is they will get into jobs in the
services industry where potentially once for all we
lock the best minds to a different kind of work. So
that's the reason why I knew we had to do
something. Even before I left Microsoft, I started
having ideas, I started writing some documents,
sharing them with people, and taking feedbacks.
After leaving Microsoft, I got more time to think
thoroughly about the various challenges. I used a
research organization at Hyderabad in order to
understand the mind set of students and their
thought process - how much awareness they
have with R&D versus non- R&D roles. It was very
insightful. We used that data before we actually
started the program.
Mission R&D is for students. There are two reasons
for that. One is, we have around 1 lakh plus people
in the once united Andhra Pradesh alone, doing
some form of Computer Science and at least 1% of
them, i.e., 1000 must be super smart. But why
aren't we able to find them ready for R&D roles?
We struggled to find good people who qualified for
a job in Microsoft. We were going all over India and
picking from IITs and RECs. Anna University is
good; PSG Coimbatore is good, but we struggled to
find people in AP. REC Warangal is okay. One thing
is that I know there is great talent and very smart
kids at present, but clearly they're not getting what
they need to get. The other thing is if there are
smart kids, they can pick up the core foundations
very quickly. So, combining these two, we thought
we have to create a program.
Next, we thought about the right time to start the
program. At the end of first year, students are not
learning much about the actual Computer
Science. It is more of general subjects. We thought
about it at the end of second year, but the problem
was, once we are done teaching, there is a long
gap for interview. So that is the reason why we
picked the end of 3rd year, summer, and by which
time they would have done some basic things like
one or two programming languages, at least have
theoretical knowledge about operating systems
and a few other things.
Both are good but the key differentiation is, in
service industry we have a specification defined by
somebody else and most of the time you have one
client and you solve the problem of the client. In
R&D role, you have many customers depending on
what you are talking about. If it is windows, you
have a billion customers; visual studio tools, you
have millions of customers. There is never one
customer. So building a product which is useful to
the whole wide audience is a complex engineering
process. Your mind set, the way you think, the way
you engineer, everything has to be different. You
cannot be saying like you can put this version out
and then I can fix it up later. You need to take an
approach like you need to create a scalable
platform on which you can build the features. We
are trying to communicate and articulate this
difference. Then the foundations have to be very
strong to be able to do this job. And that is what we
are trying to do in this program.
How hard is it to move from a service company
to a product -based company?
Relatively hard, in general services role you are
assigned to a customer project then you will be
trained for a few months specifically on those
technologies and not get the general foundational
learning. So you cannot be a good broad based
software engineer as it is completely driven by the
business requirements. You are basically getting
tunneled up putting up a stack that this is what you
are going to learn next versus you want to be a
good professional with broad foundation, and
thinking ability. Let's say you do this for two to
three years, your growth is around project
management and not as a technical guy. It is good
at management side but you will be going away
from what a professional would do. So there will
be pockets in the services companies where there
is innovation going on but those are isolated
pockets.
What is your take on the startup culture of the
Government at the Centre and in the State?
The current budget appears to be encouraging for
startups. Even the Telangana Government, for
example, is trying to create a startup hub where
to be there. So mentorship is a great challenge.
A lot a good engineers are there readily orienting
themselves about business strategies and are able
to figure out how to create and market the right
product. So as more and more people are coming
to startup fields, all it requires is right mentoring.
When you have many startups, mentors become a
bottleneck. This is where I go back to the students
who often say that they don't have good teachers,
and hence could do only this much. Now startups
cannot say that there aren't enough mentors so
that's why I'm like this. It is your baby, your
responsibility, so you have to take the initiative to
figure out ways and make it successful and not
blame somebody else. Success or failure, that is
yours. Mentors are there only to provide
information and at the end of the day it is for you to
filter it and take what is required for you.
And one more thing, as there is a lot of information
available globally, people shouldn't get
themselves overloaded with information. We
cannot continue to read and read and not do
anything. They should strike a right balance. You'll
have to make your own important judgment call. If
you are lucky you'll have 70% information, many a
time 50%, or you'll have the readable amount but
you'll never have 100% information. Then you
need to apply experience. If you are young you may
not have experience so you need to use your gut
feel. Based on whatever you know and based on
the vision and dream, you should think that this is
the bet and you are going to make it. And then
give everything that you got to make it a success.
Startup vs MNC. What do you think a fresh
graduate should begin with?
It all depends on what you want. In a big company,
we get good salary, reasonably stable job and
potentially an opportunity to learn from many
experienced people. You have to be proactive. On
the other hand, a startup is a great idea and huge
excitement, and a tremendous learning
opportunity. In big companies, you will be
assigned a task and scope of learning will be
limited to that. Whereas, in startups, you are
forced to broaden your scope as there are less
number of people working on it and there is a huge
problem to solve. You will learn a lot, but it might
the right time for a fresh graduate to approach
angel network?
I need to explain to you the various levels that exist
today with regard to investment. There is seed
fund or seed stage where people invest at a very
early stage. In this stage, you will get small amount
of money. Then comes angel investors or angel
network where you have an idea, and you translate
that idea into an implementation, and test it
against the customer segment. Next, learn from
the process and tweak your ideas and know what
the reaction is. That is the right time to come to
angel network after you had enough learning.
Here you have taken it to next level. Say, you tried
implementing it and have some learning and you
also know about the competition in the area. You
cannot say that you are the only one doing it. Very
rarely you will find things where you are the only
one doing it. Hence, you need to show that you're
slightly different from them. Some differentiation
has to be there.
In angel networks people will give from 50lakhs
upto 2 crores. You can use that money when you
actually need to expand your business where the
model is completely proven in reasonable size
locality. For instance, Hyderabad city is
completely done and proved in AP or TG, then you
want to scale across India and you need extra
money which is when angel networks come into
picture. As the model is proven, they will provide
the necessary amount, so that you can grow across
the country.
What is the difference between IIT and tier 2
colleges?
A lot of people are competing but only a few get
into IITs. There are two reasons for this. One is
they are highly motivated and hard working. Two is
their IQ level is high. In IIT environment, we have
ample number of good professors teaching and
they have smart people around them in super
competitive environment, working hard and are
motivated continuously. At IITs, they learn from
teachers and other students as well. On the other
side, there is exactly opposite environment. If you
are smart, you top the batch and you relax, nobody
We cannot continue to read and read and not do anything. They should strike a right balance. You'll have to make your own important judgment call.
If you are lucky you'll have 70% information, many a time 50%, or you'll have the readable amount but you'll never have 100% information. Then you
need to apply experience. If you are young you may not have experience so you need to use your gut feel. Based on whatever you know and based on
the vision and dream, you should think that this is the bet and you are going to make it. And then give everything that you got to make it a success.
Then, we pick students with good IQ, passion, and
motivation. So we know that they have some basic
foundation, and then we put them through an
intense program and we are very confident that
they will pick it up. It turned out to be true too. Each
year about 100 students can easily do it. We are
trying to do the same thing, the way we built
Microsoft. This is not to make money. We don't
want to run and start all over India and fail
miserably. Instead, we want to do it right by
figuring out all the nuances of the program.
Somebody following Mission R&D would know
that each year we are tweaking it. The latest tweak
is, at the end of second year, we want to offer them
online training programs, and at the end of third
year is the classroom program. So that's the final
stage we reached, which will be the best way to
prepare them really well for R&D. I think from next
year we can scale across a few other places like
Bangalore and Chennai. But these are the key
drivers. There are two points - there are very
smart kids and smart kids can learn very quickly if
we teach them the right way.
What does it mean to have an R&D job versus a
services job?
they provide infrastructure for startup companies
to come and set up their operations. If you have a
hub like that it can bring people together. You can
be mentors, investors and other potential partners.
So that kind of initiative is good. Andhra
Government is also trying to do something on
similar lines.
For the past 2-3 years, there has been a lot of
awareness in the Government about startups, and
how they can be potential growth for the country,
how employment is generated for the country and
how the startups can be innovation engines for the
country. Because of this development, a
reasonable number of good angel networks
sprung up like the one at Hyderabad for which I
was the first President. Then there is Mumbai
angel network and India angel network .Multiple
angel networks are coming up. And people are
hearing about the success stories of entrepreneurs
starting their companies and this information is
helping in creating excitement among startups. So
overall as far as the ecosystem is concerned every
player of the ecosystem - the government,
entrepreneur, bureaucrat, investors -all are
actively taking part in growing and nurturing the
startups. So that way great things are happening
in the country right now. The momentum is going
go down six months down the lane to one year, this
is the risk we have. The reward is if you are
successful you will have good number of options
and returns will be much higher than what you get
from a big company. So the key is that you have to
understand that the failure rate is very high in
startups. There is 70% failure, be aware of that.
But if we have amazing ideas and super smart guys
are already there in startups, then the risk is
comparatively low.
If you have an idea then the ideal place to start
with is at incubators and most of the colleges
these days have their own incubators. Startup is
not like Masters. If you think that you are done
with your graduation, and now you have to start a
start up, it doesn't work that way. If some one is
going to do a startup then he should be thinking
about it right from second or third year of their
course. They should be actually talking to people
about their idea, getting advice, brain storming
and finally getting to a stage six months before
they graduate. They should say that these are my
strengths, ideas, and I'm going to give it my best
shot. So one needs to be in this stage at least
before comparing it to a good job.
As you're an angel investor, what do you think is
there pushing you around.
We have examples of Bill Gates, Premji, etc.,
who aren't trained in top institutes yet they are
successful. Then why does the industry
differentiate between the IITians and others
during recruitment?
We always take the example of Bill Gates. But
according to the law of average among all the
successful people, these people will be only
0.0001%. And the other people are doing good
because of their motivation, hard work and the
right environment. Most of the big companies
give first preference to IITians just as we go for
good quality while buying a product and go right
there. The companies also know that most of the
other people are there outside, so they conduct an
exam every year and take them. It is a question of
how efficiently the interview process is done. The
flip side is students can say that they are from tier
2 or tier 3 colleges but they have learnt much and
have the capability to demonstrate their skills then
people just come and pick them up. They give
highest priority to such candidates as they have
been through all the odds despite many
challenges.

What are the challenges you faced in your career and
how did you overcome them?
The whole idea of creating a Microsoft R&D center in
India was the biggest challenge for me. One thing is for
a pure technology background guy trying to do a
technology management role, just not technology
management but a general management role was a
complete change. Typical technology management
role would be just trying to build a product. But here it is
the matter of setting up a whole R&D center with virtual
and physical infrastructure. That was a major change
for me as an individual.
The second challenge was trying to create a suitable
environment for the center in India where the model is
completely different. Here the model is to put a lot of
money, hire huge number of people, and do a support
job for the products which is not interesting. With such
existing models, trying to build an R&D organization
was a big challenge. On top of that, trying to make
everyone understand what R&D is, and what typical
product development is , was a tough task. It took two to
three years to bring an awareness. Besides, internally,
Microsoft was completely Redmond centered in one
place and all the product development was going on in
the company, and for the first time we are going to take
that core outside so that was a huge challenge. If
people of a company are in two different buildings
itself, the collaboration is difficult. In that of kind of
environment bringing core engineering works together
and doing it outside was a challenge. So the question is
how do you actually overcome all these challenges.
Step zero is you need to have great clarity on what we
need to achieve. If you are confused in what you are
doing, you will be pushed by the pressure and as a
leader if you go back and forth, your team will be totally
lost. Step one is actually translating that into action
where the demonstration should not take ten years. It
should take a short amount of time but not too short.
First by signing, I maintained clarity with the
Management and the people who are coming with me
that what we are going to do it. From the first employee
we hired, this is the constant message we are carrying
on and then showing it in action. We set two years time
frame to develop two products completely from India.
And that requires hiring bright people and initially I had
to pitch, convince some of them from US.
Another important thing is while hiring we need to
know what kind of people to hire. Here the employee
must have Microsoft DNA. So immediately after the
interview panel selects candidates, they will be
mentored and trained by these guys so that they can
become a typical Microsoft talent. Then around those
guys we can build buildings. For 3-5 years, was the
most challenging phase where I had to question myself
like what is the right strategy getting the team aligned
and I used to be the gatekeeper by deciding what
comes into India R&D. My mantra was, no matter what
the scope of the problem is, we have to sit and solve it
here. There is no architecture team or somebody else
sitting there. We are the architect, we are the
developer, we are the tester, we are the programmers,
and we will release the products. So that is how we can
demonstrate ability which is very important.
In the process we went through a lot of strategic
discussions finally figuring out what is the right
strategy to grow and have the AHAAA movement for
us. So how do we align with core is what we ended up
figuring out. It will be a challenge then to have a big
windows team, big office team here and we started
building things around these products. But by doing
that we never lost focus on what we are trying to build
that means we are not going to be 100 people team who
are working on Office. So we are going to build an
independent big feature for the next version of office or
windows. That gave us the ability to scale up as every
year company is going to invest so that we can have a
big team here with full responsibility on what we are
trying to do and this enabled the people to learn and
grow. So that is the fundamental motivation. At the end
of the day, we need to create an organization where
every employee starting from the entry level to top most
technical leader should know that there is always a
way out and a path exists here. Then we had to take up
bigger and bigger challenges, and that was the journey
we went through.
How do you overcome stress in IT field?
Step one is to get a clear idea of what we have to do.
Step two is always try to go beyond the expectations
and that is the only way we can grow in an organization.
While going beyond and by doing the task faster, never
compromise on quality. This is of paramount
importance. Deliver on time and think broadly beyond
what was given because no single person can give all
the details. So there is always something that is
missing and the expectation is, the person who is given
this task will be going deep into it to solve it. Hence,
with responsibility comes expectations. If you are going
deep into the job given, you have to go beyond what is
given to you and figure out how to make it complete,
think of all possibilities, think about for whom you are
creating this project and are you serving the people's
need? and are there any gaps? Then cover the gaps
which is where dialogue is important, such as we
thought about this bit we haven't thought about that
we should do thus and just make sure people are in the
loop and make it happen. If we could do that, we will
never have stress because there are no surprises. Stress
comes when there are surprises.
If there is clarity and you plan it well to do your work,
there will be no stress. Suppose you are given a narrow
deadline, you have to go back and say that this task
needs more amount of time and there is a reason. Stress
will come to you when you agree to the narrow
deadlines given by manager. You also end up working
longer hours, in fact end up making mistakes too. If
you have reasonable details and ask for reasonable
time, then the manager will be reasonable. But if we
want time without specifying reason then there will be
a fight or an issue.
What is your road map for Mission R&D?
We know how to do this program for 100 people in
classrooms. Now we need to figure out how to scale it
up across the country that is our number one goal. We
feel that we can bring a lot more value by bringing
bigger number of people. We want to have 10,000 plus
people trained through online model and 500 to 1000
through classroom model and if we can do that we can
make significant contribution to the talent pool in the
country. If we look at R&D kind of talent that is
available, we call it systems talent and application
talent. So if we look at those numbers, we will be
probably increasing by 25% or 50% and that will be a
significant growth. We are planning for the stages, the
student has to go through and how to scale it. Starting
from next year, we will scale it.
Your message to this generation where technology is
changing very fast…
It is all about the foundation and basics. In Computer
Science, the fundamentals are stable enough so we
have to be really strong at it. That is the fundamental
requirement. Writing efficient code no matter what the
language is, how do you design systems, design
software, design modules – all this is the fundamental
knowledge. So if we are good at fundamentals and
have the ability to learn new technologies, develop
skills, no matter how much the environment changes,
we can make it. This is what we need to develop in the
four years of engineering study - become strong in
fundamentals. You should be smart enough in using
tools to do efficient coding and have the skill to learn
new things, keep your ears and eyes open on what is
going on around us in the technology industry. Don't be
limited by the job that you get. Job is something from
morning to evening. You will always have time to pick
up new skills if you are passionate about it. So changing
environment is not a problem and if we are good at
fundamentals we can actually work on and stick
around.

world? Do you know what the underlying technology that brings you this amazing experience of
visual effects and video quality is? It is 4K digital projection. Each frame of 4K contains 8 million
pixels, each of three colour components. To watch a smooth video you need at least 30 frames
per second. When you are displaying each frame you need to process each pixel through several
complex mathematical operations. The flow of such computations to realize a functionality
(such as video decoding) is called an algorithm. The algorithm for 4K digital projection involves
processing of about a billion bytes of data per second using complex mathematical operations.
Another mindboggling example is a self driven car which has to react to different traffic
situations by processing huge amounts of data from different sensors (including cameras) in a
split second (Figure-1).
The extent to which signal
processing has penetrated
in different walks of our life
is ever increasing. The
volume of data to be
p r o c e s s e d a n d t h e
complexity of algorithms is
ever increasing - much
faster than the rate at
w h i c h I C f a b r i c a t i o n
technology is developing.
The number of digital
circuit components that
can be squeezed into a chip
Figure-1: Signal processing in a car
is steadily increasing (popularly known as Moore's law) as the smallest size of a component is
reaching amazingly close to atomic size (currently 14 nm) overcoming several constraints
imposed by basic physics laws. However, algorithmic complexity is increasing much faster
(Shannon's law) than Moore's law, opening a wide gap between required computational
capabilities and available resources. A clever approach to catch up with Shannon would be to
help Moore by trying to make the circuit of same size (gate count) do more computations than
before.
Different processor types (RISC processors, SIMD extensions, VLIW processors, DSPs and GPUs)
have been tried, but none of them has really solved the problem because they all have been
based on conventional von Neumann or Harvard architectures or a modification thereof. There
is a way to bridge this gap if we change the very method in which we do the computations and try
to solve the fundamental bottlenecks that restrict the number of operations that a given circuit
can perform. In addition to having unsatisfactory performance, current day processors also
consume a lot of power. So they become unsuitable for devices that run on batteries (such as
smart phones, cameras, etc.).
Manjeera Digital Systems Pvt. Ltd. (MDS) is a start-up company that is precisely trying to solve
these problems of limited performance and high power consumption. MDS has designed a
state-of-the-art processor, Universal Multifunction Accelerator (UMA), which uses a computing
approach that is fundamentally different from the way current processors work. UMA computing
approach is based on a new technique called 'Middle Stratum Operations (MSO) based'
computing approach. In addition, UMA's architecture is a true data-plane architecture. This
approach leads to a processor design that achieves high performance using relatively smaller
gate count at ultra low power consumption. MDS has applied for patents in all major countries,
and is a winner of India Innovation Growth Programme Award in 2013.
UMA is being targeted for the large and fast
growing market in vision and multimedia
processing that is used in a wide range of
devices such as smartphones, cameras,
tablets, wearables, and automobiles to
name a few.
A fully working and programmable prototype
of a UMA based processor has been
implemented on an FPGA board (Figure-2).
UMA has created interest among several
major potential customers. They are
manufacturers of consumer products,
surveillance, defence, and space sectors.
UMA is a processor technology that has been
developed entirely in India for the first time.
It is expected that MDS helps promote
electronic hardware development activity in
the country and create employment for
several engineers in this sector.

A New
Interdisciplinary
Course at
BVRIT Narsapur
for 2015-16
BVRaju Institute of Technology (BVRIT)
located at Narsapur near Hyderabad takes
pride in introducing a new interdisciplinary
course “Pharmaceutical Engineering”, the first
of its kind in India from the academic year
2015-16.
T h e f o u n d e r C h a i r m a n o f S V E S ,
Padmabhushan Late Sri BV Raju and its
present Chairman, Sri KV Vishnu Raju are
seasoned Chemical Engineers with immense
industrial experience coupled with academic
interest. This initiative is in line with their
vision and a great deal of thinking and efforts
on the part of higher ups went into
transforming the conceived notion into a
reality.
The initiative to start this new engineering
course at BVRIT was taken up after
considering various aspects. BVRIT is located
near Hyderabad which is the hub of several
pharmaceutical industries producing drugs
and pharmaceuticals meeting a major demand
of the world. Current Chemical engineers
produced by Chemical engineering courses
are able to perform the tasks related to process
development, process design and operational
aspects of chemical and pharmaceutical
plants. However, Chemical engineers may not
have sufficient knowledge to deal with
P h a r m a c y r e l a t e d s y n t h e s i s a n d
d e v e l o p m e n t a l a s p e c t s c o n c e r n i n g
p h a r m a c e u t i c a l p r o d u c t s . T h o u g h
pharmacists produced by Pharmacy courses
have better knowledge in science related
pharmaceutical, drugs and biological aspects,
they cannot deal effectively with the design
and operational aspects of pharmaceutical
plants.
T h e p r o p o s e d B . T e c h c o u r s e i n
Pharmaceutical Engineering is designed with
a l o g i c a l c o m b i n a t i o n o f C h e m i c a l
Engineering and Pharmacy courses. This
course enables to produce versatile engineers
having a combinatorial knowledge to deal with
t h e s y n t h e s i s , p r o c e s s a n d p r o d u c t
development, design and operational aspects
of pharmaceutical and related plants. As the
eligibility for admission into this course is
similar to that of other engineering courses
with Maths, Physics and Chemistry in
Intermediate and State Entrance Test, the
students on completion of this course have
opportunities to compete for jobs and higher
education as any other engineering course.
Currently, this course is conducted with the
names of Pharmaceutical Technology at Anna
University and Ambedkar Marathwada
University, and as Pharmaceutical Science and
Technology at Institute of Chemical
Technology, Mumbai. Since a large number of
reputed pharmaceutical industries are located
around Hyderabad, there is a great scope for
employment opportunities for this course.
The main aim of Pharmaceutical Engineering
is to enhance the knowledge in designing drug
excipients and integrate it with the mechanics
of machines and plants to produce drug
intermediates and medicines that can fight
with the ever-growing health hazards and
d i s e a s e s . T h i s c o u r s e e n a b l e s t h e
pharmaceutical engineers to equip themselves
with all the latest tools and technologies
involved in the production of drugs and
pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceutical engineers
can perform major role in the design, scale-up,
construction, and operation of plants that
convert chemical and biological materials into
valuable pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical
therapies. The graduates of this course with
their cross–functional skills can prove their
p ro f i c i e ncy i n va r i ous sectors. T h is
engineering branch provides excellent career
opportunities to pharmaceutical graduates in
n u merous s e c t o r s such as c hemical
technology, nanotechnology, biotechnology,
nutrition, food and food additives, biomedical,
dairy farms and cosmetics.
BVRIT has well established Chemical
Engineering laboratory infrastructure and
VIPER has well- equipped pharmaceutical and
analytical laboratories. Thus, both the colleges
have full-fledged laboratory infrastructure to
meet the pharmaceutical engineering course
requirement, besides having qualified and
experienced faculty to deal with the teaching
a n d t r a i n i n g a s p e c t s o f t h i s n e w
interdisciplinary course. Hence, this new
course is expected to record a great success in
the academic and industrial fields of
engineering and technology.

A QUARTERLY NEWS PUBLICATION FROM SRI VISHNU EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY
Tapping the Talent
A techno centric world is constantly
sustained by a technically competent
workforce. In a rapidly developing
technological environment, there is a
need for professionals who can meet the
ever rising challenges.
How can this be done? Many students
focus on the prescribed syllabus which
imparts only the basics. They do not
connect themselves with the dynamics of
the industry. For many is the belief “My
teachers know everything I need to know
to be an engineer. Their job is to tell it to
me in lectures, and my job is to soak it up
and then repeat it on exams. If I can do
that, I've learned it." This can in no way
make a student a professional. By the time
they graduate, they are not ready for the
real time industry needs. Many lack the
basics and most of them do not have
practical exposure.
NASSCOM report says that about 83% of
the Indian engineering graduates are not
employable. They lack the skills required
by the industry. In most cases there is lack
of clarity on what the industry requires
and the courses to be designed that would
make the students industry ready. The
problem as we see is not unemployment
but unemployability.
To meet the requirements of the society
several IT BPO majors recruit youngsters
and train them accordingly. Generally,
MNCs go to Tier I colleges for potential
employees. Students from tier III colleges
also form a potential talent pool. It is
precisely here that Mission R &D is
actively involved. It was established by
eminent people from industry -Mr. Srini
Koppulu and Mr. Perraju Bendapudi , both
veterans in the software industry. They
bridge the gap between the present day
academia and the industry. Both Mr.
Perraju and Mr. Srini Koppulu opine that
there is talent beyond the Tier I colleges.
There is untapped
Dialogue with Mr. Perraju
Sri Perraju Bendapudi is the Partner Architect, Microsoft India R&D. He started his career at Microsoft as a Senior Developer in Microsoft Operations
Manager reporting. Subsequently, he became the Developer Lead to Service for Unix. He has also been the Development Manager for the Windows
group at MSIDC. As the Principle Architect, he worked on the verification platform and binary based static driver verifier. As a partner Development
Director, Perraju garu worked on server and high scale services of Live mesh and azure caching and integration services. Before joining Microsoft Mr.
B. Perraju worked as a Staff Engineer for Verilog and compiled simulation in Synopsys. He graduated from IIT Kanpur in 1993. He has more than 80
patents to his credit. Currently, he is a lead mentor in Microsoft Azure accelerator mentoring startup companies for Azure. His area of expertise is
compiler, High Scale Services and runtimes, Cloud Computing, Big Data and Machine Learning.
Please tell us about your life and academics.
I was born in Vizag. I come from an academic
background, my father was the Controller of
Examinations at Andhra University and my mother, a
school teacher. I did my engineering in CSE from IIT
Kanpur. When I was in my first year of Ph.D, my father
passed away and I shifted to a job in T & C, Hyderabad. I
worked as a staff engineer in Synopsys and later joined
Microsoft.
What are the greatest achievements in your life?
I am the seniormost technical contributor in Microsoft.
I have been with Microsoft India development centre for
the past twelve years. The Institution of Mission R &D is
also a significant achievement. I got as many as 80
patents and several awards.
Could you walk us through your journey to
Mission R &D.
The thought actually came to Srini Koppulu. One of my
relatives worked as faculty in Shri Vishnu Engineering
College for Women. He helped and encouraged us to
impart training at SVECW through Mission R &D. Shri
Vishnu Educational Society gives a lot of importance to
education and inculcates values. That is what makes it
a successful society. The vision is clear to the students
and parents.
What is the purpose and motto of Mission R &D?
Our purpose is to train in three stages:
1. To get talent from all engineering colleges and
transform them into exceptional talent for product
development roles.
2. To involve a significant number of women students
and employees in product companies.
3. Providing top talent to start up companies.
How is Mission R&D related to or different from
academics?
We don't interfere with the academic calendar. We
actually train them in the aspects of industry needs for
jobs. R &D students can go to any company from Day
one as a professional worker. Two BVRIT students were
placed as professionals directly instead of trainees and
they produced excellent results.
What motivated you to start Mission R &D?
Our goal is to increase the talent pool of students from
engineering.
Who is your role model?
It is different in different stages. Five years earlier, Bill
Gates was my role model and a mentor. Now, the two
significant role models are Abdul Kalam and Narendra
Modi. Their thoughts are simple and straight forward.
What are the companies that you target to give
training?
We don't give training to companies. We just train third
year students and they go for placements. We do not
support any company.
How do you find the quality of students?
During the last three years, the students were very
good. In fact they are improving year by year. This is my
experience with SVECW, VIT or any other college. Seeing
their results, the others are improving which I found to
be very inspiring. The reason for my continuation is for
the Talent pool.
Generally, it is the cream among the students that come
to you. What is the advice you give to average students?
My opinion is that people need to spend time on
particular skill rather than on so many things. In large
companies, people are mediocre and IQ is average. They
work hard and in addition to that they care for humans.
Thus, they become successful. Not using yourself and
your abilities is mediocre.
What do you feel about teaching?
It is a noble profession. Education became expensive to
children. Jnana distribution has to be done without
selfishness. From Mission R &D, we can train teachers
who can train their next generation. Teaching is like a
tree. It is great profession. It you are a wrong teacher
you will spoil many children. It is very complicated.
How do you feel about the journey with Shri
Vishnu Educational Society?
Shri Vishnu Educational Society has always been our
trusted partner. Without them, we would not have done
Mission R &D and taken the graph of R &D to this stage.
Though it is a small thing, after the completion of the
training of the first batch, this is the only society that
immediately asked when the next batch is starting.
They also make sure that the faculty is involved in this
mission. Students are also encouraged a lot. Mission R
&D is no different from SVES. From day one they were
there with us.
What is your message to the students ?
We believe that especially in CSE and IT, the way to
learn is through the way of build and learn. So my
message is “Build”, that is the way you can learn, don't
read it by theory. Be sincere and have passion towards
the job. We have to learn by 'build and learn'. Learning
how to learn is important. We have to update ourselves.

Gratitude for Success
Madhurima, IV CSE, (2011-15 batch) VIT
K. Adithya Varma, IV CSE, (2011-15 batch) VIT
This is Madhurima of IV
CSE, VIT, Bhimavaram.
Currently, I am an intern
at Kustommade, which
offered me a job with a
package of Rs. 6 lac. per
annum. I was placed
here after undergoing
training under the
esteemed supervision
o f M r . P e r r a j u
Bendapudi, a proficient programmer of
Mission R&D, VIT. There are many reasons for
achieving this. As a CSE student, I always had a
passion for coding. My college helped me take
it to the next level, by forming a CSE club in
our campus. The atmosphere that college
provides is just mind-blowing. The objective
of this club is to make the students capable of
product development. To develop products,
many skills are required which are
incorporated in the course. It teaches us
principles of professional coding, managing
time, how to present our ideas, sharing
experience with students across the state etc. I
learnt a lot about how to learn. Constant
learning is the focus here. It is not only
through college activities but also with help of
other activities like Mission R&D, ATL, cultural
fests, etc., VIT makes sure that students have
an exposure to both the technical aspects and
theory. I'm always indebted to my faculty and
friends for this success. I sincerely thank the
college for the support of our Management
throughout this journey.
To get a good job in a
corporate sector that
pays well and allows
one to follow one's
dream and passion is
scare to find but it has
become a reality for
me now as I got placed
i n K o n y. B e i n g a
Computer Science
undergraduate, I have always been
passionate about technology and learning
innovative things that broaden my horizon.
Thanks to Vishnu Institute of Technology
which is not just my college but also my
second home and thanks to Mission R&D for
helping me turn my dreams into reality.
As I walk down the memory lane, I realize that
my college has been instrumental in
motivating me and making me stretch my
limits. Learning was a two way process where
not only do we share knowledge but also
witness its evolution into wisdom and
practicality. My college has always been a
platform where we can get a great aid in
propelling our scope and giving us as many
opportunities as possible and as a part of this,
our college tied up with Mission R&D.
Throughout this journey Mr. Perraju
Bendapudi (fondly called Peri Sir) took
personal care of all of us and mentored us
individually enabling us to reach out to
higher realms. To sum up, my journey so far
has been enlightening, energizing and has
enabled me to rediscover myself.

Data mining is a process of extraction of useful information and patterns
from huge data. It is also referred to as knowledge discovery process. It is
a multi-disciplinary field deriving ideas from diverse technologies such as
machine learning, statistics, data bases, high performance computing, data
visualization, and image processing. The advancement of Information Technology
with the aid of novel data processing methodologies has made this approach to
store and manipulate the enormous quantity of data for decision making. It
dominates the commercial world with applications encompassing web mining,
customer management, direct marketing, and electronic commerce. However,
the important role that it plays in scientific and engineering field is increasingly overlooked. The issues and
challenges that make the mining of scientific data are different from commercial or business data. There is a
wide range of problems and application domains in science and engineering that can benefit from it. The
various methods evolved at the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, and database
systems are involved in the process of mining the complex and enormous data produced in various disciplines of
science and engineering. This article briefs the diversity of problems and application areas in science and
engineering that can benefit from data mining.
Astronomy: Data mining techniques have long been used in the fields of astronomy and astrophysics.
Astronomy presents several unique challenges such as noise in the data resulting from the sensors used for
data collection, missing or invalid measurements and non-trivial identification of objects in the case of images
replicating the objects. Large volumes of data in high dimensional space must be transformed into lower
dimensions feature space. These issues make astronomy a challenging field for the practice of data mining.
Data mining techniques based on probability density functions, parallel algorithms, machine learning
algorithms are widely used in the mining and analysis of astronomical data.
Biological, chemical and medical sciences: Bioinformatics, chemical informatics and medicine are all
areas where data mining techniques have been increasingly used. Bioinformatics focuses on computational
analysis of gene sequences, gene expressions, protein data, and biophysical and biochemical structure of
molecules. Data mining techniques have found an important role in genomics where they are extensively used
in the analysis of genetic sequences and protein structure data bases. Gene related data as well as biological
and medical data are often available in the form of images as well. Image mining techniques are used for
analyzing the images of protein crystallography, mammograms, MRI scans, ultrasound, DNA micro arrays, and
X-rays. In chemical sciences, data mining is used to analyze chemical data sets for molecular patterns and to
identify systematic relationships between various chemical compounds and for analyzing the data driven by the
combinatorial chemistry where a set of starting chemicals react in all possible combinations to produce large
data sets. In all these sciences, data mining tools such as statistical and machine learning algorithms, clustering
and classification algorithms, neural networks and hidden Markov models are widely used.
Earth sciences, climate modeling and remote sensing: This field covers a broad range of topics with data
mining opportunities in climate modeling and analysis, atmospheric sciences, geographical information
systems and remote sensing. The types of problems to be addressed in earth sciences include ozone depletion
and green house effects, desert and vegetation patterns, and land and ocean patterns. Earth sciences data is
available not only as images from satellites but also as observations obtained from above or under the earth's
surface. Information theoretic and machine learning techniques such as cluster analysis, singular value
decomposition, block entropy, Fourier and wavelet analysis, phase-space reconstruction and artificial neural
networks are being used for the tasks of segmentation, feature extraction, change detection, model-data
comparison and model validation.
Computer vision and robotics: The data mining tasks of these fields include automatic inspection of
industries, fault detection, face recognition and tracking of eyes, gestures and lip movements, surveillance and
vision for robot motion control. Expert systems with rules of inference, artificial intelligence techniques and
genetic algorithms are used for data analysis applications of these fields.
Engineering: Large amount of data generated from complex engineering problems provides an opportunity for
the use of data mining techniques to address a variety of problems related to structural mechanics,
computational fluid dynamics, material science and the semi-conductor industry. Different clustering
algorithms, classification models and decision-making tools, statistical and neural network techniques, and
machine learning systems are used for analysis of the data of engineering systems.
Security and surveillance: Data mining methodologies of this field include applications such as finger print,
human face recognition, character recognition, voice recognition, automated target recognition, video
surveillance and network intrusion detection. Various techniques such as principal component analysis, Kalman
filter, wavenets and support vector machines are used for the applications related to this field.
Thus, data mining is a rich field with challenges and opportunities. The above list only scratches the surface in
the variety of scientific and engineering problems that can benefit from data mining. The data analysis
problems in science and engineering are getting more complex thus giving a wonderful opportunity for the
application of mining methodologies.

Are you selling shoes too?
The world is how it was yesterday. It will be the same tomorrow.
The critics, the naysayers, the mediocrity-obsessed people, the
confused ones, the spoiled brats, the drama queens, the drug
addicts, the sex-maniacs, the whiners, the haters, no one's going to
change a bit. They are forever stuck in a box of stagnation kidding
themselves that they enjoy it.
While on the flip side, you have the optimists, change-seekers, the
shell-breakers, the game-changers, the unconventionalists, the
trendsetters, the outspoken, the dashing ones, the evolvers,
innovators, the creativity-maniacs,the monks, the builders, the
makers, no one's going to change a bit. Even these are forever
stuck in a frenzy to revolutionize their life. They also kid
themselves that they enjoy it.
No one actually knows who's enjoying more. Though the world is
so much better off with the second category and without the first
category.
So, decide your side. Jump into the boat. The sail has already
begun, don't waste it on the shore. And mind you, don't you better
swing between the boats. That's even worse. You'll end up doing
nothing but aging.
Epilogue:
I once read a story about two salesmen who sold shoes. Both of
them were sent to an island where no one wore shoes. Not even a
single one. The first one called his head-office and yelled “No one
wears shoes here. Cancel the shipment!”
The second called and yelled “No one wears shoes here. Double
the shipment!”
Now, you can tell who is in which category.

Defining Happiness
Thought provoking msg from Chetan Bhagat
(Courtesy Sri S.Ramkumar, Director, SVES)
Yesterday, I was driving, and the FM radio
went off for few seconds. I thought, I should
have an iPod. Then suddenly I realized that I
have not used my iPod in last 6 months. And
then, more things, Handy cam in last 2 years,
Digital Camera in last 2 months, DVD player in
last 1 month and many more.
Now I can say that I bought that Handy cam
just out of impulse, I have used it twice only in
last 4 years.So, what's wrong and where?
When I look at myself or my friends I can see it
everywhere. We are not happy with what we
have but all are stressed and not happy for the
things we don't have. You have a Santro, but
you want City; You have a City, but you want
Skoda. Just after buying a new phone, we need
another one. Better laptop, bigger TV, faster
car, bigger house, more money, and I means,
these examples are endless.
The point is, does it actually worth?
Do we ever think if we actually need those things
before we want them?
After this, I was forced to think what I need and
what I don't. May be I didn't need this Handy
cam or the iPod or that DVD player.
When I see my father back at home. He has a
simple BPL colour TV, he doesn't need 32" Sony
LCD wall mount. He has a cell phone worth Rs
2,500. Whenever I ask him to change the phone,
he always says, "It's a phone; I need this just
for calls."And believe me; he is much happier in
life than me with those limited resources and
simple gadgets.
The very basic reason why he is happy with so
little is that he doesn't want things in life to
make it luxurious, but he wants only those things
which are making his life easier.
It's a very fine line between these two, but after
looking my father's life style closely, I got the
point. He needs a cell phone but not the iPhone.
He needs a TV but not the 32" plasma. He
needs a car but not an expensive one.
Initially I had lot of questions.I am earning
good; still I am not happy...why? I have all
luxuries; still I am stressed.... ......why? I
had a great weekend, still I am feeling
tired...... why?
I met lot of people, I thought over it again and
again, I still don't know if I got the answers, but
certainly figured out few things. I realize that
one thing which is keeping me stressed is the
"stay connected" syndrome. I realized that, at
home also I am logged in on messengers, checking
mails, using social networks, and on the top of
that, the windows mobile is not letting me
disconnected. On the weekend itself, trying to
avoid unwanted calls and that is keeping my mind
always full of stress.
I realized that I am spending far lesser money
than what I earn; even then I am always worried
about money and more money.
I realized that I am saving enough money I would
ever need, whenever needed. Still I am stressed
about job and salary and spend.
May be, many people will call this approach "not
progressive attitude", but I want my life back.
Ultimately it's a single life, a day gone is a day
gone. I believe if I am not happy tonight, I'll
never be happy tomorrow morning.
I finally realized that meeting friends, spending
quality time with your loved one's; spending time
with yourself is the most important thing.
If on Sunday you are alone and you don't have
anybody to talk with, then all that luxuries life,
all that money is wasted.
May be cutting down your requirements, recalculating
your future goal in the light of
today's happiness is a worthwhile thing to do.
May be selling off your Santro and buying
Honda City on EMIs is not a good idea. I
believe putting your happiness ahead of money is
the choice we need to make.
I think, a lot can be said and done but what we
need the most is re-evaluation of the value of
happiness and time we are giving to our life and
people associated with it.
Think about it!

A QUARTERLY NEWS PUBLICATION FROM SRI VISHNU EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY
CASE STUDY METHOD
It's relevance in
today's pedagogy
Dr.T.V.Rao, M.B.A.,Ph.D., CAIIB, ACIBS(UK) worked in the Banking Industry in
India and abroad and has been teaching at reputed B.Schools. Presently, he is a
Professor in the MBA Dept. BVRIT, Narasapur
Case study method of teaching has
become very popular in modern
education. This method of imparting
knowledge was practised in India
even in the Vedic times. The
effectiveness of this method can be
best expressed by quoting an ancient
Chinese Proverb: “Tell me and I will
forget, show me and I may remember,
involve me and I will learn”.
In modern times, Harvard Business
School started using case studies
from 2010. Most of the business
schools in India today adopted the
case study method as an integral part
of their pedagogy. JNTUH also
emphasizes on it and the syllabus is
designed giving weightage to case
study method of learning. In MBA
programs of most of the business
schools and universities, more than
400-500 cases on an average are
discussed. In the process, the
students are exposed to the
numerous situations of industries. So
when they go out of the portals of the
schools/universities, they are aware
of how the real world operates and
are in an eminent position to quickly
adapt to the complexities of modern
industry/business. The essence of
case study method is to challenge the
existing knowledge.
This article provides useful
suggestions to effectively analyze the
case and come up with a proper
solution, examining various
alternatives of case under study.
Examining various alternatives
involved in a case brings about
maximum student participation and
enhances his/her knowledge.
In the initial stages, students may find
it difficult to effectively participate,
but the right methodology and helpful
attitude of the faculty would ensure
maximum benefits in the form of
higher learning experience.
Besides possessing analytical skills,
good communication skills on the part
of the student is an important prerequisite.
Participation in case
discussion will enable the student to
develop verbal skills and it also
enhances the confidence levels which
is a sin-qua-non to succeed in a
competitive environment.
Cases vary in terms of their content.
We may specify the following
categories:
a) Highly structured long cases
with problems.
b) Short structured cases.
c) Long instructional cases or
problem identifying cases.
d) Ground breaking cases covering
latest concepts.
The stages involved in handling the
case analysis are as under :
1) Reading the text thoroughly
2) Analyzing the exhibits
3) Generating alternative courses
of action
4) Evaluating the alternatives
5) Recommending Action Plan
In an article titled “A framework for
student case preparation”,
C.C.Lundberg and C.Enz suggested a
six- step process for case handling.
Reading the case thoroughly is
important as cases are complex or
descriptive where issues may not be
clearly laid out. A comprehensive
reading with analysis of the exhibits
would enable the participants to
arrive at alternative courses of action.
Ideally, the instructor should divide
the class into groups so that each
group can argue for one alternative
and then the instructor should
moderate and help the class to arrive
at a consensus, so that a unified
action plan can be recommended.
Formation of groups is a very
important aspect. Many B-Schools go
to the extent of fixing groups at the
beginning of the semester, so that
there is reasonable consistency
between the groups in terms of size
and composition. Some schools also
rotate students among groups.
Harvard Business School emphasizes
the need to prepare a proper Teaching
Note for every case. A Teaching Note
is a very effective tool in ensuring a
comprehensive discussion on the
case.
The efficiency of the faculty lies in
structuring the session time and
apportioning time share for
presenting the synopsis , discussion
in groups and presentation by groups
of their view points on different
alternatives. The protagonists and
antagonists of a particular alternative
should be encouraged to put forth
their view points. The faculty should
listen carefully to the view points of all
the groups and them summarize and
present his own views. It is not that
there can be only one action
desirable. There may be cases where
it is difficult to adopt only one course
of action. Then the decision may be
left to the individual groups and allow
divergent viewpoints to prevail.

The Performance Management System
has evolved over the years focusing on
objectivity and measuring employee
contribution to the Organization as a
whole. From an employee stand point,
performing one's job to the expectations
of their Reporting Manager is a thing of
the past. Contemporary Performance
Management Systems have become
very robust in capturing employee
contribution under four key pillars of
measurement. These pillars include:
1. Contribution to Organizational
Objectives
2. Contribution to Functional Objectives
3. Contribution to Individual Objectives
4. Actions & behaviors demonstrated
by the Employee
Every employee is expected to align &
contribute to organizational objectives
and initiatives. This is because every
employee needs to demonstrate
belongingness and proactively seek
challenging assignments to propel the
organization towards realizing its vision
& mission.
I n a d d i t i o n , e v e r y e m p lo y ee i s
measured in terms of the value addition
made to his or her function within the
organization. This would include all
functions viz. Operations, Finance, Sales
& Marketing, Human Resources and
Engineering to name a few. Introduction
of innovative practices & systematizing
processes to improve productivity and
reduce cost is a key measure under this
pillar.
Every employee plays the role of an
individual contributor, while some may
play additional roles including that of
managing teams. The individual
objectives emanate from the key
deliverables expected in that specific
role of the employee. This pillar is
crucial for each employee since it
accounts for 40 to 50% of the final
rating in the appraisal process.
A very key aspect of employee
engagement measurement is in terms of
the actions & behaviours demonstrated
by the employee. These are co-related
with three important aspects of
organizational performance. They are;
People, Quality & Customers. Each
employee regardless of his or her role is
expected to contribute towards
enhancing people capability, one-team
approach, quality of products &
services and Customer delight. Most
organizations give a lot of weightage to
this pillar.
The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
are clearly spelt out for each employee
in the organization under these four
pillars. The performance of the
employee vis-a- vis his or her KPI is
reviewed every six months thus
ensuring a holistic contribution by the
employee towards Organizational
growth.
T h e a b o v e a p p r o a c h t o w a r d s
Performance Management is in vogue
in India Inc. which paves way for
assessing employee performance in a
more objective, transparent and
seamless manner. This results in higher
employee productivity leading to
higher organizational profitability.

COASTAL
EROSION
A National Disaster of Chronic Proportions
A QUARTERLY NEWS PUBLICATION FROM SRI VISHNU EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY
CIVIL ENGINEERING and SOCIETAL PROBLEMS
Dr. C. Krishna Raju is presently working as a Professor and the Head of Civil
Engg. Dept. of BVRIT Narsapur. He is a Ph. D in Civil Engineering with 12
years of teaching and 26 years of industrial experience. He published 14
research articles. He is specialized in Geo-Engineering, Ocean Dynamics,
Planning and Execution of Major and Medium Civil Engineering Projects, an
expert in Ground Water and Water Resources Engg. Projects, Tunneling and
Foundation Engg, and Remote Sensing Applications in Civil Engg. Projects.
East Coast of India is predominantly a prograding coast (advance towards
the sea as a result of accumulation of sediments from the rivers/streams
etc.). This area is highly resourceful, densely populated but low lying and
hazard prone due to natural forces (storm surges and tsunamis) and
anthropogenic (chiefly originating in human activity) forcing global,
regional and local hazards.
The erosion of East Coast of India is of chronic proportions and was declared
as National Disaster. The studies and investigations on the coast of Andhra
Pradesh revealed that there was a Net Area Loss of 48 km2 over a period of
18 years. Presently, this loss of 2.67 km2 per annum is in alarming
proportions and a highly resourceful land is lost into the sea every year
besides polluting the ground water resources.
Coastal Andhra Pradesh
Andhra Coast is drained by two major river systems viz. Godavari and
Krishna. The Godavari River Basin is intercepted by an area of 3,12,812 km2
spread out in six states and Krishna River Basin in three states by 2,58,948
km2. The drainage basins of both the River systems are presented as below
with Krishna Basin in light grey patch and Godavari Basin in dark gray with
an in sat picture of India.
Geographically, both the rivers are draining (with the same drainage divide
and through their mouths) with suspended sediments derived from the land
and rock masses due to rains into Bay of Bengal. The natural mechanisms of
sediment accumulations from these rivers (to the bay) arising out of
dendritic type of drainage system only stabilizes and keeps intact of the
prograding coast of this part of Indian East Coast. This mechanism should
continue and if it fails or retards, it results into devastating coastal erosion.
If coastal erosion happens on a continual basis, valuable land and resources
will be lost to the sea with a permanent dislocation to the habitations
besides intrusion of sea water, polluting the groundwater aquifers. The
satellite imagery, presented below, gives a clear picture of both the river
mouths through which the mechanism of sediment accumulations for the
prograding coast exists.
Coastal Changes along Andhra Coast
Scientific investigations along the Andhra coast through the dating and
other scientific analysis of drill samples revealed that this part of prograding
coast was built with an area of 6770 km2 over a period of 6000 years which
continued until the early 20th century. The estimated prograded coast over
the 6000 years period is shown in light grey patch.
Results of temporal analysis of the remote sensing data of 18 years (1990 to
2008) have tallied with the dating analysis of drill samples. These studies
proved that an area of 48 km2 was lost with an annual rate of loss of
2.67km2 along the Coast of Andhra of 1030 kms. During this period, the
coastal shoreline was subjected to erosion along 650kms. The line of
erosion and accretion is presented below:
Causes for Coastal Erosion along the Coast of
Andhra Pradesh
Construction of major and other types dams in the River Basins of Godavari
and Krishna Rivers are controlling and obstructing the sediment flow from
these river systems into the sea effecting the stability and existence of
prograded coast.

iwatch
AppleWatch is a smartwatch created by Apple Inc. and was announced by
Tim Cook on September 9, 2014. The Apple Watch incorporates fitness
tracking and health-oriented capabilities as well as integration with iOS and
other Apple products and services. Apple announced the Apple Watch with
three "collections": Apple Watch Sport, Apple Watch and Apple Watch
Edition. The watch will be distinguished by different combinations of cases
and interchangeable bands.
The watch relies on a connected iPhone to perform many of its default
functions (e.g. calling and texting) and will be wirelessly compatible with the
iPhone 5 or later models running iOS 8.2 or later, through the use of
Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. The device was available for pre-order on April 10 and is
scheduled to begin shipping on 24 April, 2015. The Apple Watch will work
with Apple Pay, a mobile payment announced at the same event as the
watch on 9 September, 2014. It is capable of receiving phone calls as well as
iMessage and SMS texts via a paired iPhone and can track fitness, run thirdparty
apps and use an Apple feature called "Handoff". It can control Apple
TV, as well as act as a walkie-talkie, a viewfinder for an iPhone camera, give
the wearer directions via native Maps app, and can store loyalty cards and
tickets in Passbook. Apple Watch will also include Siri, a personal assistant.
Apple Watch uses "force touch" input, which allows the watch to know if the
force being applied is hard or soft. If the watch's battery depletes to a certain
amount, the watch will enter a "power reserve" mode, which allows the user
to continue to read the time for an additional 72 hours. The watch then
reverts to its original mode when recharged.

A QUARTERLY NEWS PUBLICATION FROM SRI VISHNU EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY
T E T E - A - T E T E
with the Chief of IUCEE
(As told to Dr.T.Suneeti, BVRIT)
Dr.Krishna Vedula is a pioneer in the reformation
movement in the field of engineering education in India. He
is the Executive Director, IUCEE (Indo-US Collaboration for
Engineering Education). He is well recognized globally for
his contributions to engineering education, research,
administration and outreach. As Dean of Engineering at
University of Massachusetts, he has been recognized for his
leadership in building unique partnerships with business,
K-12, state agencies and other educational institutions.
What is the ecosystem that IUCEE is
t r y i n g t o b u i l d t o h e l p I n d i a n
Universities improve the standards
akin to the Western Universities?
Engineering graduates should be
global. There are significant positive
things happening in India. There has
been a rapid increase in the number of
engineering colleges and the access of
r e m o t e p e o p l e t o c o l l e ge s h a s
improved. But the problem is quality is
not in par with the rapid increase in
quantity. So we need to focus on quality.
I n s u c h a s c e n a r i o , I n d o – U S
collaboration helps in creating an
ecosystem to improve the quality with
the help of experts from United States
and other parts of the world. This gives
the global connection. It was started in
2008 with a little funding, for making
quality and global relevance. Having a
background of 40 years in US, I have a
big network of US experts. Through
I UC C , a r o u n d 3 0 0 e x p e r t s a r e
connected to 200 colleges of which 77
are members. Even others will be
helped until awareness is brought.
We already got funding to bring US
experts of Indian origin and to give face
to face workshops. From Infosys,
Narayana Murthy, Deshpandey are
funding for travelling. 46 workshops
were conducted with each workshop
for around 40 faculty for one week
long. It is connected with 200 colleges.
Narayana Murthy paid and conducted
it in Mysore Infosys campus and said
“let's ask them to pay and make
financially sustainable”. It's a long
term 10-20 projects. They started
membership named IUC college where
on concession they pay 100$ each.
There are 77 members, and they are
given more attention to connect with
US experts. In 3 yrs, they become
sustainable. Mr.Kantha Reddy takes
care of connecting all colleges and
fulfilling their needs. Being a full time
faculty member at MIT, I work 6 weeks
in winter and 10 weeks in summer for
the camp.
IST, and American Society of Technical
E d u c a t i o n a r e a c t i v e w i t h
I n t e r n a t i o n a l F e d e r a t i o n o f
Engineering Education. Similarly,
Brazilian Society connects all of them.
All these countries connect and
discuss. I was the former President of
this group. So I could connect with
countries around the world. Similar
concept is being used here. Argentina,
Denmark, Europe, China, Malaysia
etc., are a part of industrialization.
They started a virtual academy where
50 to 100 faculty can sit and connect
with experts. They can send 5000
emails in an hour. Faculty join
depending on the topic. Back end
person takes care of all these things.
Interactive sessions are conducted and
recorded. In the past 4 yrs, 400 were
done and are made available on
YouTube so that the 70 members can
review them. It benefits all the 70
members, as they pay. There is a portal
in which individual faculty share their
theory and own notes and develop
their own course as another part of
ecosystem. Faculty who are doing good
work after these workshops need to
share their work and learn from one
another. An International Conference
on “Transformations in Engineering
Education” was held first at VVV
college in Karnataka. But some were
hesitating to share, and lose their
identity. So, it was not teaching, but
learning is required so this needs to be
transformed.
Engineering is trial and error.
Engineering has been from the start of
civilizations. Like, when there is a
need, for example, when a man is
hungry, he finds a source and looks
nearby to find something (like
technology) in order to get it. And he
made a stone as a weapon and used it,
then he modified it; next level for a
better support, he made a a bow which
can be more accurate and focused. So
there is a need and to fulfill, technology
c o m e s i n a n d a d d r e s s e s b y
u n d e r s t a n d i n g n a t u r e w i t h i n
constraints of society like economics,
politics etc. Therefore, all such courses
are integrated in education and
addressed. Concept of engineering
does the above. The process is trial and
error. Teachers are afraid of making
mistakes, but it is important to make
m i stake s a n d t h e n l e a r n . This
transformation is required which is
being tried out at conferences and
active learning techniques and hands
on experience is built. This was the
motto of the conferences, with project
based learning, industrial needs,
society needs to make outcomes of
e n g i n e e r i n g a s l e a r n i n g . A n d
c o r r e s p o n d i n g l y m o d i f y t h e
curriculum. Those needs are to be
documented to make it accurate and
show outputs. Like take inputs,
develop good process convert them into
outputs and measure them. In case
they are not good, then go back and
change the inputs. This is a close loop
method. Similar to a thermostat which
controls temperature. If learning is not
happening then go back and change
inputs, this should happen in all
engineering colleges rather than just
teach and go. It should be things like
teaching change, involving industries
in creating entrepreneurs and creating
jobs by identifying needs. That is more
important than just joining a company.
All colleges are just focusing on getting
companies and showing placement
results which needs to change. So no
one is focusing on small problems like
villages etc., 90% of people are not
benefiting by big companies. So this is
changing now and many colleges are
getting autonomous coming out of
barriers like no restrictions on
teaching, curriculum, that modify
according to industries and to get
entrepreneurs. But only giving
autonomy is not enough. So, even we
need to take responsibility and there
should be parallel development of
college and modification, governance,
leadership, industrial exposure and
outcomes of education need to be

ISSUE 08 APR 2015
understood. These are discussed in the
conferences.
What are the unique initiatives taken
up by the active member colleges?
Two colleges in Karnataka followed the
above logic very well. Some colleges
just need conferences for branding.
Even others are active at different
stages, like the one at Pune. They are
waiting in line to take up conferences.
There are nine in line, and need to be
reviewed. The Pune college was guided
by Mr.Kohli (a 90 year old man), the
first CEO of TCS, and he transformed it
very well in the last ten years. Each
college is supposed to have industrial
advice reports. Their role is to meet
colleges regularly, discuss what they
need and take advice on how to proceed
in that direction. An important part
here is, once advice is given, take it then
go and meet again to tell them what u
did. And this cycle goes on. It should
not be like have a meeting and forget
about it. Similarly, in conferences, a
follow-up is taken to discuss who is
doing what. It is a significant part of all
this planning. If planning is not there,
they only stay active for few months
before deadline, which is a problem in
engineering colleges. But in US, they
are into other streams. Like they plan
very early, learn how to plan, and it is
important for Indian colleges to learn
to plan. Planning for conference
requires getting sponsors, planning the
events and to work together steadily till
the end of the event. If unplanned,
things go wrong and time is not
sufficient to fix it. In general, till 10
months students enjoy and they
suddenly start doing things at the end
and complicate things. So even
students need to understand the need
for planning.
Is your focus primarily on tier 1
colleges?
No, actually they think that they don't
need anyone to help. They actually
need help but they just don't accept it.
So I've been visiting all types of
colleges. Any college can become a
member.
What are the good things, the best
colleges of Karnataka are doing?
They have good infrastructure,
students have started companies,
published papers in international
conferences and all such stuff. Even the
faculty also need to publish. Some may
do research in nano etc., many students
have poor writing skills which need to
be improved. Basically, they need to
research, basic concept of research is to
come up with some new concept or idea
and in order to do that we need to know
the state of what is happening. For that
we need to do literature survey. So find
some way to approach this problem
then find solutions and write thesis
about it. So design some experiments
and carry them out. Get the results,
analyze them, think about the new
findings. Some faculty are doing that in
cloud computing, signal processing i.e.,
in their domain.
There is a lot of research work process
in US. It should be done in India also.
People say that they have done good or
improved by active learning and
teaching and so on. They should say, “I
am going to use these to experiment in
the next semester of my teaching. I am
going to make these changes, then
experiment and find the effects of what
I am changing, write them, tune them
and discuss them and publish to take
reviews from peers.” This necessitates
a place to publish papers, so we started
a journal.
Another part of the ecosystem is to
s t a r t a j o u r n a l o f e n g i n e e r i n g
education and transformations. So,
with the help of the Director, Sushma
Kulkarni, Rajarambapu College of
Engineering, Maharashtra, and many
other colleges which showed interest,
we are working on the publication
process. This sets up online source for
reading work at various places. These
are parts of ecosystem which all
colleges need to draw ideas and
motivation and develop their own
ways to get colorful results.
While focusing on faculty, we need to
focus on Principals too. So various
programs are organized to discuss on
l e a d e r s h i p a n d c o o p e r a t i v e
governance, to prepare advice reports,
how to set up relations with industries
etc.
How are the initiatives of IUCEE
helping students get better?
We also need to focus on students. We
have student forums, global student
forum and student platform for
engineering education development.
Students can utilize these platforms to
learn leadership skills. They can
directly participate, learn and update.
A global student forum has been
organized in Dubai recently along with
a national conference. They had to
develop action plans to address the
grand challenges in their region.
Around 200 students came from all
parts of the world and in a group of 3 or
4, they started working on these. They
spent three days and chalked out an
action plan in order to implement them
in their nearby areas.
What are the grand challenges?
There, 14 topics were introducedwater,
energy, security, infrastructure
etc., so students can pick one of those
“
In such a scenario, Indo–US
collaboration helps in creating an
ecosystem to improve the quality
with the help of experts from United
States and other parts of the world.
This gives the global connection. It
was started in 2008 with a little
funding, for making quality and
global relevance. Having a
background of 40 years in US, I have
a big network of US experts. Through
IUCC, around 300 experts are
connected to 200 colleges of which 77
are members. Even others will be
helped until awareness
is brought.
”
and think of an action plan with
mentors and come back and implement
them. And they are rewarded too.
Colleges sponsor these students. Since
it is a costly aff air, we started
conducting such workshops in 10
regions of India and these groups come
up together in Bangalore, in the main
conference and to learn from outsiders.
In Bangalore, they presented 150
papers with 9 parallel sessions. Then
we had primary sessions where 40
international participants came and
g a v e t h e i r v i e w s o n l a t e s t
advancements on what is happening in
their fields. So in this way, all can learn
and understand what is happening in
and around them. So these proceedings
can be published in journals and even
students can publish too. Many
students were actively taking part in
these workshops and we believe that
when students understands the
leadership required, they would talk to
their Management to implement such
21
an ecosystem. Use active learning
strategy to increase the quality of
students and thereby the colleges.
These are the transformations followed
in our eco system.
What are the measures you take to
make passive members, active?
If they get better it's an achievement
and I give a webinar every two weeks,
and other experts come and discuss on
their requirements and their progress.
So we conduct events regularly. But, it
takes time since some move faster and
some slower depending on their
requirements and dynamics. These
webinars need to evolve into a virtual
community of practice where they
involve around 250 faculty all teaching
maybe signal processing like some may
use industrial kits, online courses,
diagrams charts etc. So all these are
discussed here, and also they might
even decide to read all articles. Same
like regular classroom, a virtual
community practice will ensure active
participation of faculty members from
various parts of the world to sit
together and discuss.
What is the future road map of IUCEE?
It has to engage more and more faculty
members and active members but there
also even the best of intentions have
barriers like politics, irrational reasons
like we have to go to JNTU or UGC for
permission and people have different
ways of thinking and they can possibly
reject the proposal and then we have
corruption. So we need to take
measures to take care of them. So after a
conferences, we had a meeting with
World Bank. About 40 people from
industries and other experts met after
this conference and we discussed on
topics like education in India, and how
should it look like in 2025. So we came
up with an idea of autonomy as the only
way to get this right and decided to
make at least 200 colleges every year
autonomous. To become good or
transform, it is required to become
autonomous, so that faculty can be
creative and do things differently. But if
they get autonomy and faculty do not
have the skill to do it then it is waste of
autonomy. Therefore, make faculty
creative first and then get ready for
autonomy so that it becomes more
fruitful. If you do not have autonomy,
then colleges stop from being creative,
so autonomy is essential. As they are
around 3900 colleges and all of them
are not ready to get autonomy, in the
long term, we hope to help more and
more of these colleges to get autonomy.
For that, we need to organize more and
more conferences. So colleges need to
take initiatives and we are there to
mentor them. It's like giving a fish
means that you get one fish. But if we
teach you how to catch fish then you
can get multiple fish. In the same way, I
can give ideas to hold a conference but
colleges need to take initiative and
organize conferences.

E c o f r i e n d l y
technology, an
upcoming trend
in the market, is
pushing every
other technology
t o i t s l i m i t .
Natural materials are used in such technology.
Bamboo is one such material.
Bamboo is a fast growing plant with a rare
combination of flexibility and toughness. It is
used in construction work. So we, Sai kiran M,
Sumedh S, Sriteja M, Venkatesh Babu,
Venkatesh B and Chaitanya M –all III yr
students of Mechanical Department took it to
the next level and designed a cycle that is
made of Bamboo sticks.
We got our Bamboo sticks from Narsapur forest
and through online sources we could get the
other equipments for the cycle. This cycle has
various merits. A cycle of Bamboo withstands
vibrations stronger than conventional metal.
Another feature that best suits its usage is its
flexibility and machinability. Even though it has
many advantages, its usage is often restricted
to its strength, and durability. Since olden days,
conventional engineering materials are
strengthened using heat and then hardened by
hammering. New technologies made these
methods outdated. However, these methods
can be harnessed to improve the strength of
Bamboos. So, with the help of a mini
Oxyacetylene torch, we can generate the source
of heat. An interesting feature of Bamboo is its
top layer of moisture and sugar content (green
color). Upon heating it in the direction of growth
(combing the fibers), we condense sugars to
form hard surface on surface increasing its
strength. First, we heat it till surface of bamboo
changes to light brown and then to dark brown
in the following stage.
Next task is to design a frame for the cycle.
After working on stresses and various forces,
we came up with a design. We drew the same on
a table and with help of pins we could design an
outer frame where we could fix our bamboo
sticks for joining purpose. Utilizing the
machines available in our college, we could get
desire lengths and shapes. Metal frames are
formed using welding process but this is not
possible with bamboos. So we used coconut
fiber to tie the sticks. However, the joints
couldn't be done without a bonding agent that
is often used in cement technology known as
Epoxy.
While using materials from nature, we need to
consider the effects of nature too. With the
passage of time Bamboo loses its surface
(especially in rainy season); this could be
reduced by keeping it away from moisture and
with some coatings. Our heat treatment process
protected Bamboo from these effects to a
ertain extent. Except for the frame, other parts
ere from conventional cycle like tyres, brakes,
hain and axles.
is is one application of a promising ecoendly
material which is not only naturendly
but also it is highly economical and
uces the burden on conventional ones.
re is lot of scope for improvement and
ncement of its applications.

StoreDot
Develops
Battery that
Can Charge
Your
Smartphone in
30 Seconds
M.Likhitha, I B.Tech ECE B, BVRIT
StoreDot says
that charging one's mobile
phone in a matter of seconds
could be possible by 2016. The
technology firm, which has its
headquarters based in Tel-Aviv,
Israel, learnt that by using nano-technology in
order to synthesize artificial molecules, batteries
can be transformed to act like super-dense sponge.
This enables them to absorb and retain power,
achieving a fully charged battery status at a much
faster rate.
This innovation revolves around the building of
"nanodots" which the company refers to as bioorganic
peptide molecules. Nanodots perform a
significant role in changing the way the battery works
by allowing quick power absorption as well as its
retention.
Currently, the prototype seemed bulky for a mobile
phone which may impede the product's faster
proliferation in the market. However, StoreDot believes
that it will be able to come up with a slimmer version by
2016. When that happens, it could just be the first slim
battery that can quickly absorb and deliver a full day of
p o w e r
f o r
m o b i l e
devices
in half a
minute.
"These are new materials, they have never been developed
before," said Doron Myersdorf, StoreDot's founder and
Chief Executive. Company investors include Chelsea soccer
club owner and Russian billionaire, Roman Abramovich who
is said to have spent $10 million on the project.
So far, the company had accomplished two funding rounds which
enabled them to reach a total fund of $48 million. Mr.Myersdorf
added that they have also received a backing from a leading
manufacturer of mobile phones based in Asia.
With the innovative technology, Myersdorf said that mobile
devices could have a recharging capacity of up to 1,500 times
which eventually increases its life by three years. He is also
revolutionizing the recharging time for a car battery by enabling
owners to recharge within two to three minutes. The need to create
a faster charging battery may be the smartest move that a company
can make considering the fact that the smartphone market
continues to grow. This year alone, it is speculated that the number
of smartphone users would reach a staggering 1.75 billion.
"We live in a power hungry world...people are constantly chasing a
power outlet. StoreDot has the potential to solve this real big
problem," said Zack Weisfeld, a mobile phone analyst.
DETECTING
GASES BY
SMART PHONES
D. Jai Chender Sai, I B.Tech ECE B, BVRIT
A new way has been devised to detect
hazardous gases and environmental
pollutants, using a simple sensor that
can be read by a smart phone. These
inexpensive sensors could be widely
deployed, making it easier to monitor
public spaces or detect food spoilage in ware houses. Using
this system, researchers have demonstrated that they can
detect gases like ammonia, hydrogen and cyclohexane
using sensors. The main advantage is that there is no
wiring and power involved in
this. It consists of simple
electrical circuits so that
their resistance changes.
Measuring the change in
r e s i s t a n c e r e v e a l s
whether the target gas is
present or not. This
process requires almost no energy and can function at
ambient temperatures.
The new sensors are made of modified near-field
communication (NFC) tags. These tags receive the
little power they need from the device, and function
as wireless addressable barcodes. They are mainly
used for tracking cars and pharmaceuticals as they
move through a supply chain in a manufacturing
plant or warehouse. NFC tags can be read by any
smart phone that has near-field communication
capability. They send out short pulses of magnetic
fields at radio frequency (13.56 megahertz),
including an electric current in the circuit on the
tag, which relays information to the phone.
To adapt tags for their own purposes, the MIT
team first disrupted the electronic circuit by
punching a hole in it. Then, they reconnected
the circuit with a linker made of carbon
nanotubes that are specified to detect a
particular gas. The researchers added the
carbon nanotubes by drawing them onto the
tag with a mechanical pencil in which the
usual pencil lead is replaced with a
compressed powder of carbon nanotubes.
They refer tags as CARDs - Chemically
Acutuated Resonant Devices. Current
versions of CARDs can each detect only one
type of gas, but a phone can read multiple
CARDs to get input on many different
gases, down to concentrations of parts per
million.
The researchers have filed for a patent on
the sensing technology and are now
looking into possible applications.
Because these devices are so
inexpensive and can be read by smart
phones, they could be deployed nearly
anywhere to monitor environmental
pollutants. The researchers are also
pursuing the possibility of integrating
the CARDs into "smart packaging"
that would allow people to detect
food spoilage or contamination of
products. The CARDs could also be
incorporated into dosimeters to help
m o n i t o r w o r k e r s a f e t y i n
manufacturing plants by measuring
how much gas the workers are
exposed to. The best part is, it is
low-cost, disposable and can
easily interface with a phone.
A QUARTERLY NEWS PUBLICATION FROM SRI VISHNU EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY
Exoskeleton
Sai Teja , II B.Tech Mech, BVRIT
In 2000, things
really took off
a n d t h e
D e f e n c e
A d v a n c e d
R e s e a r c h
Projects Agency
(DARPA) began
funding exoskeleton projects. The first ones were
designed for soldiers, who routinely suffer from chronic
back, hip and knee complaints from shouldering 135-
pound (61 kg) packs on their backs all day.
Ekso Bionics has been working on its project for more
than a decade. The first version required 2,500 watts of
power and a giant backpack full of motors and batteries to
operate. But the company also developed much smaller
devices, called passive walkers, which can support a
person's body weight and sip just 4 watts of power. Later,
the company designed a mid-level device that gives a
wearer some active assistance in walking, and uses about
250 watts of power, which is now being developed by
Lockheed Martin.
The new device, called the Ekso, is now helping stroke patients
learn to walk again. People who suffer from stroke often have
to be helped to their feet by three people, who must hold the
patient between two parallel bars, and the person often gets
tired after just a few steps. In addition, a person who has had a
stroke may have levels of strength and muscle control that differ
on the right and left sides of their body.
The Ekso can provide different power levels to either leg,
responding to the patient's strength. With the bionic suit, patients
can walk hundreds of feet when they first stand up. They aren't
concerned about getting tired, and the variable strength means they
don't favor one side as they would if they were walking on their
own.The new exoskeleton can also help people with spinal cord
injuries. The technique can allow them to build and preserve their
muscle strength, and can help undo some of the health ailments that
can come with being in a chair all day long. Right now, the devices are
too expensive for consumer use, and just a few hundred versions of the
bionic legs are being used by physical therapists. But the company is
also developing simpler exoskeletons that could be used to help the
elderly walk around without tiring, or to allow those doing extreme
sports to get ever-more extreme.
The company has also built bionic, passive exoskeletons to help
construction and manufacturing workers hold heavy tools without
fatiguing their arms.
Robotic Harvesting
R.Neeraja, I B.Tech ECEB, BVRIT
In field crops like corn and wheat, there are relatively
few challenges. A single farmer can harvest a wide
area quickly by riding over it, using GPS to steer and
many companies are exploring ways to
automate the process further. Farm
equipment maker, Kinze Manufacturing Inc.
and Jaybridge Robotics are developing
technology that allows tractors to operate
without a farmer behind the wheel.
For other crops, particularly fruits, it's messier.
More human labor is usually needed for harvesting. Workers often pick fruit by
hand, being gentle to avoid bruising it. But a growing number of companies and
researchers are developing robotics to address those challenges as well. Robotic
Harvesting LLC, based in Los Angeles, is testing a product for strawberry fields. Its
prototype rolls through the fields with a camera that identifies berries and a robotic
arm picks them. The arm is a foampadded claw, which can pick a strawberry every
five seconds, places them on a conveyor to be carried to the top of the vehicle and
placed in boxes.

A BVRIT Community Outreach Program
Two-day International Workshop
on Science, Technology and Society
at BVRIT Narsapur
A two- day International Workshop on
“Towards Innovating Engineering for Society
Curriculum” was held at B. V. Raju Institute
of Technology (BVRIT), Narsapur during 21-
22 November, 2014. Prof. Laxminarsaiah,
Dean Academics, BVRIT was the convener.
It is a kick-start initiative under “NAVYA”
(Narsapur Abhivruddi Vikas Yojana), a
BVRIT community outreach program.
Julia Quartz, lecturer Maastricht University
Science, Technology and Society Studies
(MUSTS) program, and Mrs. Annapurna
Mamidipudi, a research scholar, MUSTS
program. The members of Knowledge in
Guntuku Dileep Kumar, Global Leader,
Knowledge Sharing and Innovation and
Director, Center of Excellence in ICT
Innovations for Agriculture, Dr.A.R. Phani,
Managing Director, Nano-RAM
Technologies, and Mr. Srikanth
Thirumalasetti, NPDP (New Product
Development Professional), were the
special invitees to the workshop.
The Workshop essentially brought a diverse
set of technical experts, research scholars,
philosophers, and social scientists from
around the world to one platform and pooled
the diverse thoughts into one perspective,
“Science, Technology and Society (STS)”.
The objective of the workshop was to outline
the need of engineers to empathize with
basic societal problems and provide a simple
and tangible solution by applying their
technical knowledge.
The Chief facilitators of the workshop were
Prof. Dr. IR. W.E. Bijker, Professor of
Technology & Society, Maastricht University,
Netherlands, Sri Ravichandran Rajagopal,
Vice Chairman, SVES and Mr. Kantha
Reddy, Director, Operation-India. The
Speakers in the workshop comprised of Dr.
Civil Society (KICS) included Prof. Prajit K
Basu, Professor of Philosophy at the
University of Hyderabad, Prof. C Shambu
Prasad, Professor of Rural Management
and Development and Strategic
Management at the Xavier Institute of
Management Bhubaneswar, Mr. N
Sreekumar, eminent member PRAYAS and
Mr. Joseph, Research Associate, KICS. Dr.
In his talk, Dr. Bijker emphasized on
understanding a social problem from the
perspective of user and building a solution
around it. Otherwise an engineer becomes a
mere technician. Dr. Julia quoted “looking
through different lenses”, while empathizing
with a situation or a problem. Mrs.
Annapurna gave various examples indicating
the importance of involvement of the end
user in designing a solution. Mr. Sreekumar
spoke about capacity building of local
groups to enhance the efficient usage of
energy for sustainable development. Dr.
Shambhu Prasad said that following one's
passion leads to triumph. Mr. Joseph Satish
put forth the thought process of a student in
different situations and the risks involved in
STS.
The Workshop encompassed illustrative
brainstorming sessions on how an
engineering student should approach a
social problem, risks involved in trying to
solve a societal problem, open panel
discussions on the outcomes of including
STS as a part of the curriculum, type of
pedagogy, training a teacher on STS
courses and its impact on society. The
sessions were inspirational, and the
workshop is a beacon to guide the
upcoming engineers to build a better society.
It also showcased exemplary team effort and
concluded on a positive note of sketching
