FROM PRESIDENT'S DESK, RGIPT
Message
“The task of a university is the creation of the future....” said Alfred North Whitehead. The
essence of an educational institution is aptly captured in the above saying. Rajiv Gandhi
Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT) derives its core values from this spirit and envisions
becoming a world class educational entity to serve as a fountainhead for nurturing 'Petrocrats'.
The ever growing energy demand worldwide has triggered enormous growth in the E&P
sector. Similarly, the downstream sector has become more competitive with the entry of private
sector in both refining of crude and marketing of petroleum products. Gas is the fuel of the
future and the country has responded well to the surging gas demands. The natural gas sector is
expanding rapidly with a nationwide distribution network being planned. Globalization has
changed the scenario of Indian petroleum world and many Indian oil and gas majors have
intensified their overseas activities. This in turn has fuelled the demand of professionals
armoured with knowledge of latest technologies. This changing dynamics of the industry and
the need to have a balanced energy mix necessitated the development of a specialized
institution which can serve as a training ground for skilled professionals who will play a pivotal
role in supplying the energy demand of the country.
RGIPT with its long list of reputed patrons is poised to provide professionals with right set of
skills to industries. While brainstorming the type of model to be adopted, it emerged to develop
the institute as a “Corporate University” to bridge academia-industry gap and also to achieve
active participation of industry in its governance and development. The pioneer undergraduate
batch of RGIPT is inculcated with technical skills and values, which believes in pursuing the
tradition of excellence. RGIPT is ready with its pioneer batch of undergraduate and 3rd batch of
M. Tech. and MBA, which is well equipped to understand the dynamics of industry. I am
confident that the students would utilize this opportunity for moulding their creativity and lay
the foundation of a world-class lineage.
I take this opportunity to invite national and international companies for undergraduate and
post graduate placements. I am sure your organization will serve as a dynamic learning ground
for our students preparing them for industry challenges.
