“Decisions determine destiny”<br />

Thomas S. Monson<br />

"A man maie well bring a horse to the water,<br />

But he cannot make him drinke without he will"<br />

John Heywood<br />

CHAIRMAN SPEAKS<br />

The English writer John Heywood's proverb is refuted by the legends of SVES in<br />

aiding their students. SVES's offspring, BVRITH is a place of varied cultures,<br />

mindsets, and backgrounds. Inspite of that, BVRITH under the aegis of SVES,<br />

succeeded in placing its students in reputed companies like Capgemini, Virtusa,<br />

Tech Mahindra, Kony labs, CSC, Pramati Technologies, NTT Data, UX Reactor,<br />

PEGA Systems, Umberto Ceramics International Pvt. Ltd. (list is going to be<br />

extended as many more companies are on their way to BVRITH)<br />

On this remarkable feat, Dr KVN Sunitha, Founder Principal said, In the journey of<br />

excellence as I glance back at the year 2012, I realize that it's been a fascinating<br />

collaboration which helped us move continuously on the path of progress. The<br />

culture that we built for the institution, and the hard work as well as perseverance<br />

of the team is evident today as we enjoy the fruits. It's truly a pleasure to reach<br />

the target of 120 placement offers out of 229 students, whereas eligible number is<br />

186. Thanks to the Placement team who worked round the clock to make students<br />

get good placements and packages to the tune of 7.5 lakh, 7.13 lakh, 6.3 lakh etc.<br />

According to Mr.Jagapathi Reddy, Placement Manager at BVRIT-H, SVES brand,<br />

Guidance of Core Placement Team , determined efforts of BVRITH Placement<br />

Team, HODs & Faculty under the leadership of Principal and the hard work of<br />

Students yielded the results. Student Internship and mentorship programs in<br />

companies like Microsoft, Virtusa, ADP, and PEGA Systems also helped in<br />

exposing the students to real time work environment and being placed in top<br />

companies.<br />

The future of the country depends on these young engineers and we have<br />

strengthened the wings of our Women Technocrats to soar high into the Sky of<br />

Technical Excellence, Research and Innovation!<br />

Addressing the group of faculty members who joined BVRIT N during the academic year 2015-16, Hon'ble Chairman<br />

Sri K.V.<strong>Vishnu</strong> Raju garu, SVES, recalled the ideals that Sri <strong>Vishnu</strong> Educational Society and his grandfather<br />

Padmabhushan Dr B.V.Raju stood for. According to him, “Founder Chairman of SVES believed that education has<br />

transformed him both educationally and socially. He believed from his experience that education can transform the<br />

society and more so in transforming and empowering women”. Having studied in reputed Institutions like Banaras<br />

Hindu University & Harvard, Padmabhushan Dr B.V.Raju visualized that the temples of learning he started should<br />

be on par with IITs and NITs. To convert this dream into reality all Institutions of SVES covered the entire spectrum<br />

of Engineering and Technology with residential facilities paving way for active interaction between the teachers<br />

and the taught both inside & outside the class room. Recalling his intermediate days, Chairman narrated how his<br />

mathematics teacher at Little Flower Junior College, Prof.M.N.Reddy has mentored his classmates by teaching the<br />

concepts outside the gamut of syllabus. This methodology has converted the rigor of cracking a seat in NIT into a<br />

cake walk. Because of Prof.Reddy, 45 out of 53 students have become Engineers from IITs and NITs. Stressing the<br />

importance of teaching, a profession considered noble on par with Medicine, he recounted how patients with<br />

chronic diseases felt solace after undergoing treatment from his Doctor father. He exhorted the faculty members to<br />

teach with passion and gain confidence from student community. In the changed scenario, from teacher centric<br />

teaching to student centric teaching, staff members were requested to treat students as customers and strive for<br />

customer satisfaction. He narrated from his experience as student at NIT, how Prof. Krishnamurthy has converted a<br />

dull and dozing class in the afternoon session into active state by motivating students to visit library and refer<br />

Scientific American magazine. As most of the faculty members teach 3 hours a day, he advised them to spend<br />

productive time in library and hone the skills and sharpen the tools. He was also of the opinion that a lot of teaching<br />

and productive work can happen in laboratories by coordinating with Industry and Research centers.<br />

He explained how French Physicists developed testing tools to motivate students towards critical thinking i.e PISA<br />

sponsored by OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). In the PISA test conducted, Finland<br />

stood first in the world and India stood 79th. He attributed the success of Finland to the policy makers focused<br />

attention and vision towards teaching. The spinoffs are visible in the form of Nokia and several other companies.<br />

Highlighting the achievements of BVRITN, he thanked the team comprising of VC, Deans, Principal and Staff. He<br />

appreciated the institute for getting above 500 genuine placements. He highlighted the BVRIT team's preparedness<br />

in tackling inspections (four in number) from JNTUH fact finding committees. About the future plans of SVES, he<br />

advised the team comprising of 1500 faculty members to create a roadmap towards excellence in teaching and<br />

mentoring the students towards global standards. He advised the team to train the teacher in<br />

teaching methodologies, content development, academic planning, Industry -Institution<br />

linkage with continuous mentoring by experts in the field. In his concluding remarks, he<br />

lauded the team in getting 4th rank among top Engineering colleges of JNTUH and 7th in<br />

Telangana when Osmania University is included.<br />

May BVRITH continue its efforts towards higher and nobler ideals and play its role<br />

in the progress of our nation!<br />

CIVIL SERVICES – TOPPER 2015<br />

Ms.T.Lakshmi Bhavya is a 2012 passed out of Electronics and<br />

Communication Engineering student of Shri <strong>Vishnu</strong> Engineering<br />

College for Women. She is from the rural background. She<br />

proved to be a good student in her academics. She was selected<br />

for TCS, a Multi National Company, in her final year of engineering.<br />

She even got a chance of going abroad to pursue her M.S. but she<br />

did not show any interest in that. Her only ambition was to<br />

become a civil servant by getting through CIVIL SERVICE<br />

examination. With strong determination and persistent efforts she<br />

was able to get 88th RANK in her recent Union Public Service<br />

Commission ( UPSC) examination in her second attempt.<br />

Receiving a cheque from our beloved chairman Sri K V <strong>Vishnu</strong> Raju<br />

Bonda Vaishnavi , a final year student at Shri <strong>Vishnu</strong> Engineering College for<br />

Women, got selected for International Billiards & Snooker Championship under<br />

Snooker Federation. Right from her childhood she has been interested in<br />

snooker and has been practicing for quite a long time. She is from Bhimavaram<br />

town in West Godavari district and she found it very difficult to get coaching.<br />

Somehow she was able to be trained from the coach Venkatesh who<br />

represented Indian Railways. Earlier, she participated in National Snooker<br />

Championship in Kolkata in January 2015 and stood as semifinalist in the<br />

tournament. Four players were selected for this tournament and she was in the<br />

third place in the team from India.<br />

I got placed in Virtusa. I<br />

“<br />

want to thank my college; “<br />

starting from the first year<br />

of B.Tech they encouraged<br />

us a lot. I improved my knowledge and so<br />

many things apart from academics what my<br />

friends at other colleges could not learn.<br />

”<br />

G. Lakshmi Mounica<br />

(EEE)<br />

My college is a place where<br />

education and fun coexists<br />

and I enjoyed every moment<br />

of this wonderful journey and made the<br />

most of it. My interactions and exposure<br />

with the faculty and my friends played an<br />

important role in my personality<br />

development and in turn helped me to<br />

secure good jobs with good pay.<br />

Management, Principal,<br />

Placement team and<br />

faculty took very special<br />

care of us as we are the<br />

first batch and we don't have any seniors to<br />

share their experiences. They invited the<br />

placed students of our other temples of<br />

learning at Narsapur and Bhimavaram to<br />

share their experiences with us. We got<br />

best of training and guidance in all the<br />

disciplines.<br />

The rigorous schedule,<br />

WISE Program, GDs,<br />

make us all set to step into the tough<br />

outside world of corporate. All activities<br />

made me a good speaker and developed soft<br />

skills in me. I can hopefully say there will<br />

be no institution to provide tremendous<br />

training to help the students in getting<br />

placements unless it is a part of Sri <strong>Vishnu</strong><br />

Educational Society.<br />

performed by the team. “For one who listens to the wholeness of the existence,<br />

everything is music. There is nothing which is not music. Every little sound has a<br />

certain impact. If you listen to a certain kind of sound, you become loving. Some<br />

other sound can make you joyful. Some other sound makes you aggressive.<br />

Sounds create not just emotions, they also change the very chemistry of your<br />

system. So the kind of sounds you are exposed to, and the kind of sounds you<br />

generate, do various things to you were the words said by Shri. Waseef Uddin<br />

Dagar.”<br />

CURRENT POSITION: Technical Lead – Engineering,<br />

Pegasystems Worldwide India Pvt. Limited<br />

(Subsidiary of Pegasystems Inc.)<br />

A QUARTERLY NEWS PUBLICATION FROM SRI VISHNU EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY<br />

Bhaarata Vidya Sibiram<br />

SUCCESS PATH<br />

I present myself to all <strong>Vishnu</strong> family feathers of<br />

my alma mater, BVRICE, as Kaliprasada Raju<br />

Rudraraju. I am proud to say that I am an MCA<br />

student passed out in 2003 and more proud to<br />

claim that I am one of the eye catchers in my<br />

batch. Hailing from a poor family, I sailed a<br />

hardship during student life which made me<br />

realize the necessity of uplifting measures in<br />

the latter part of my growth. As a Technical<br />

Lead (Engineering) for Pegasystems<br />

Worldwide India Pvt. Limited (Subsidiary of<br />

Pegasystems Inc.), I look after most<br />

prestigious projects. My earlier assignments<br />

were with Honeywell as Architect–<br />

Configuration Management, Siemens and<br />

Ness Technologies as Manager- Technical<br />

Services, but no regrets anywhere. I am as just<br />

I am, of course, more experienced but still<br />

young. I am very happy to know that our<br />

<strong>Vishnu</strong> Educational Society is bringing out a<br />

quarterly news magazine, <strong>Vishnu</strong> <strong>Era</strong>, and I<br />

wish to utilize this platform to share my as well<br />

as recruiters' views on IT job aspirants. The Six<br />

skill set that are normally expected by the<br />

recruiters includes Basic Subject knowledge,<br />

Technical knowhow, Hard work, Commitment,<br />

Communication Skills and above all Right<br />

Attitude. Here I am trying to emphasize these<br />

aspects to the best of my knowledge.<br />

BASIC SUBJECT KNOWLEDGE<br />

The recruiters expect strong basics in all the<br />

subjects that are a part of the curriculum of the<br />

aspirants. But it is mostly found that some of<br />

the students are inclined to get detailed<br />

knowledge in one or two subjects (which are<br />

interesting to them) and give less priority to<br />

others. It is essential for all new comers that<br />

they must be having minimum basics in all the<br />

subjects learnt.<br />

TECHNICAL KNOWHOW<br />

The aspirants are good at some of the<br />

concepts of a programming language and<br />

writing programs, but they do not try to get<br />

decent implementation level knowledge. They<br />

do not think much from the applications point<br />

of view. But, from the aspirants the recruiters<br />

expect basic programming skills, good logical<br />

thinking ability and analyzing the problem<br />

from all angles.<br />

HARDWORK<br />

Patience and Persistence are much required<br />

from the fresh graduate point of view. There<br />

come honesty and loyalty if you have this<br />

virtue of hard work. Instead, some of them are<br />

not ready to put those extra hours required and<br />

go beyond the scope. This has to be practiced<br />

as much as possible to make it almost like a<br />

habit.<br />

COMMITMENT<br />

Choosing career in software industry should<br />

be like a real goal to the candidates and with<br />

passion they have to dream about shaping<br />

their future in this world. The hard work,<br />

persistence and vision to a career are very<br />

important when you start your journey. But<br />

some of the students come by accident into<br />

this field and struggle a lot to find the balance<br />

between work and satisfaction. So they need<br />

to be very clear and be ready to put the effort<br />

that is required to reach heights.<br />

COMMUNICATION SKILLS<br />

Missing clarity and a bit indecisive while<br />

giving answers to the point are the two major<br />

hurdles our fresh graduates are facing. At<br />

times they are trying to impress too much (this<br />

will become negative point most of the times)<br />

by thinking that if we talk more and at length,<br />

that would be considered as great skill. This is<br />

totally wrong. In fact, the recruiters look for<br />

clear and crisp presentation. Rather, how<br />

confident you are while speaking and how you<br />

are able to put across your views is more<br />

significant. Answering to the point (not more<br />

and not less) is really an excellent good quality.<br />

RIGHT ATTITUDE<br />

Some of the aspirants do not carry the right<br />

attitude and this will create a negative<br />

impression. Some of them don't take the<br />

things with open mind and can't think from<br />

broader perspective. Thinking out of the box is<br />

the need of the hour. Positive and inspirational<br />

voice culture attracts every one. You should try<br />

to be role a model and guide who can motivate<br />

and show the path to others. No scope for<br />

selfishness and silo style of work ethics.<br />

MY HUMBLE SUGGESTION TO FRESH<br />

GRADUATES<br />

Get your fundamentals/basics right and come<br />

to the battle field like an unbeatable warrior<br />

with a very positive mind set and energy levels.<br />

Possess good logical and reasoning ability<br />

with smart/creative ways to propose solutions<br />

to a problem. Try to be confident and clear in<br />

your communication. Show good attitude and<br />

nice gestures during all your interactions with<br />

others. Hard work, dedication, commitment<br />

and career planning are must to succeed in<br />

this industry.<br />

Hardwork Pays Off !!<br />

Coming from a rural background and achieving something that only a few could imagine is really a matter of<br />

pride. This is true for Ms Sri Ramya of BVRICE. It is believed that only an engineering student can get into a Big<br />

Multinational company. But Sri Ramya proved it otherwise. Completing her graduation with MEC, she got<br />

selected to one of most valuable companies of the world SAP. Congratulations!!.

WITH Mrs. RAJALAKSHMI SIVANAND,<br />

Sr. Director – HR, InsideView<br />

A QUARTERLY NEWS PUBLICATION FROM SRI VISHNU EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY<br />

Rajalakshmi Sivanand, is a seasoned HR<br />

professional with mainstream experience<br />

w o r k i n g i n I T P r o d u c t D e v e l o p m e n t<br />

organizations, helping them strategize and drive<br />

change, across various levels.<br />

Being a strong believer of continuous learning<br />

philosophy, she is a change catalyst and drives<br />

learning interventions with results focus in mind.<br />

Ability to handle complex matters and deal<br />

effectively with strategic issues, as well as tactical<br />

A Global Professional Degree in HR (GPHR), a<br />

Master's Degree in Human Resources, and a<br />

double bachelor's in Law and Commerce provide<br />

a strong foundation to her.<br />

Currently, she is pursuing a PHD in Organization<br />

Development from Osmania University and is<br />

very intrigued with the hard science behind the<br />

art of Neuro leadership coaching which impacts,<br />

how we think, develop and perform. She shared<br />

many facets of the current Corporate world with<br />

Mr. A.L.Kishore, Faculty Lead, Mr. Arun Kumar (2<br />

ECE) and Ms. S. Caroline (2 EEE), the student leads,<br />

had the wonderful opportunity to interact with<br />

Mrs. Rajalakshmi Sivanand. Excerpts of the 'FACE<br />

InsideView (http://www.insideview.com/)<br />

CRM solutions for Sales, Marketing and Account Management<br />

and Mobile , delivers the most accurate company and contact<br />

information, including business insights, and professional<br />

connections to increase sales and marketing productivity.<br />

Q. How was the journey from being a student to Sr. Director of<br />

Human Resources?<br />

A. To answer it in one word – “experiential”, but to elaborate, I think it<br />

was a huge learning all thru, and it continues to be so even now. Being<br />

with people, working with them, crafting career ladders is all a different<br />

ball game and it's quite full-filling. Just like any student transitioning<br />

to a professional, I also had my share of “learnings” and with the right<br />

mentors who saw the potential in me; I think I got the right opportunity<br />

to add value. Thanks to the IT Industry which was also booming and<br />

gave me a lot of exposure, globally.<br />

Q.Why did you decide to get into HR after your graduation in<br />

Commerce & Law?<br />

A.It just seemed like a natural transition for a people person like me. In<br />

that era, it certainly was not a well-laid out path, but I am glad that I<br />

took it. Since the function involves, dealing with people and interacting<br />

with them, I love this field. I used to do Talent Acquisition,<br />

Administration, man-power planning etc. then learnt the HR<br />

Generalist activities and then with right mentoring, I was able to use my<br />

skills to the talent management area and here I am, running the entire<br />

gamut of activities in the HR function.<br />

Q.In your opinion, what is the most important trait a woman leader<br />

must have? Could you exemplify / elaborate it?<br />

A.Not just a women leader, for any leader, it is very important to exhibit<br />

“Empathy”. “Empathy” means being able to listen to and understand<br />

the feelings of others. Sensing the thoughts and feelings of others and<br />

responding in an appropriate way. In my opinion, if we are able to do<br />

this, a lot of decisions that we take will be well thought thru. One trait<br />

that comes to my mind is that women are more “Assertive”, they don't<br />

mince words. To be successful, you need to put your point straight and I<br />

think we do it well. Another trait that is a close next is the ability to Multi<br />

task and focus on completion of these simultaneously – it's a natural<br />

trait and a clear example is the way we balance work & life. The<br />

demands are competing and the balance may shift from time to time,<br />

but the important lesson here is that it's important to try—to recognize<br />

that both work and home are important and deserve our attention.<br />

Q.Throw some light on how women being in leadership positions<br />

are changing the world?<br />

A.As per a study done by Oxford University, women are hardwired to<br />

affirm life. They have a natural love of people, diversity, and community.<br />

Their natural leadership style is mentor-leadership. It is very<br />

collaborative and as a result, they grow people and mentor them and in<br />

our current world, this is very important.<br />

Q.What are your expectations from an entry level employee?<br />

A.We understand that they are eagerly looking to convert theory into<br />

practice and hence, having a general curiosity, ability to learn faster,<br />

seek guidance and ask for help are the generic expectations.<br />

Specific expectations from the job/their work are set by the immediate<br />

manager.<br />

Q.What are the biggest opportunities for budding engineers in the<br />

next five years?<br />

A.Technology is evolving with such a pace that it is highly difficult to<br />

talk about the next five years. We had never imagined technologies like<br />

Big Data five years ago. Opportunities are everywhere, and any<br />

industry is constantly changing and evolving. Be the best in the field<br />

that you are in and constantly look out for what is new and embrace it.<br />

Thankfully internet has helped us do this efficiently. Data Science is one<br />

field which I can say has numerous opportunities in the coming years.<br />

Q.Now-a-days, the students are intelligent and also good. But<br />

inwardly, they seem to be restless and agitated. They want things to<br />

happen instantly, otherwise they get frustrated. May be an<br />

element of peace or tranquility is missing in them. What do you<br />

suggest the students in order to be focused and maintain a balance<br />

in their lives?<br />

A.I think the question says it all, “Balance” is the key word here. Firstly,<br />

it's important to know their strength and then align it to what they want<br />

to do in life. By doing this, they know they are pursuing their passion<br />

and when they are passionate about the thing they are doing, balance<br />

comes automatically. Also they should never compare themselves with<br />

others. Comparison brings negativity in the mindset of a person. To<br />

bring balance in one's life it is crucial to feel good about who one is and<br />

what s/he has.<br />

Q.You must have faced many challenges in your professional life.<br />

What was the toughest one? How could you overcome?<br />

A.Challenges are part of everyone's life and I would like to call them as<br />

“Learnings”. Every situation at that point in time seems tough, but<br />

when you look back, it doesn't seem so, because that would have made<br />

you better in some way. So, instead of focusing on the challenges, I<br />

suggest we look at the achievements, always.<br />

Q.Who is/are your role models in your life? What is that you liked<br />

most in them?<br />

A.None in specific, but any one that is making a difference in any way<br />

does influence in some way, even a stranger. I do learn a lot from<br />

various interactions that I have with people. I get highly influenced by<br />

people with high energy and those that radiate positive influence. Just<br />

being around them, makes a big difference.<br />

Q.What advice do you offer to engineers like us who are focused on<br />

getting a good job and being successful?<br />

A.Just one simple thing – “Pursue your passion”. Measuring success is<br />

very relative, so define your own path and be passionate about<br />

following it. A passionate career always reflects the pride and<br />

enthusiasm with which you perform each day, what you've achieved<br />

and where you're headed. If you are smart and following your heart, gut<br />

and long-term goals, you will definitely find yourself on a career path<br />

that fills you with lots of self-esteem.<br />

IGNORANCE<br />

DISCOVERED<br />

http://campusvishnu.com/2015/<strong>10</strong>/ignorance-discovered/<br />

Manogna pursued her B.Pharmacy in Shri <strong>Vishnu</strong> College of Pharmacy,<br />

Bhimavaram. She is an avid reader, freelancer, blogger and seeks answers<br />

to the many questions she is forever grappling with. She believes that the<br />

right questions are the key to unlocking a world of potential answers.<br />

still vividly remember sitting in the rst row of the<br />

room, slightly disoriented by a heady mix of<br />

apprehension and excitPreviewement. I lived that<br />

moment many times before in my head, but nothing<br />

beats actually being there, waiting for the rst day of<br />

college to unfold. In the four years to follow, <strong>Vishnu</strong><br />

helped prove many of those apprehensions blissfully<br />

false, and left me with the sweet aftertaste of a<br />

pleasant surprise.<br />

Like many other students akin to me, I started college<br />

in a state of utter confusion. I only had a slight idea of<br />

what to expect<br />

from life, and I<br />

w a s j u s t<br />

beginning to take<br />

the rst steps. I<br />

k n e w m y<br />

knowledge of the<br />

world around me,<br />

a n d w h a t I<br />

imagined to be my niche, were going to change<br />

dramatically as I begin to learn and unlearn things. I<br />

couldn’t be more correct.<br />

Of all the quotes and aphorisms hanging on the walls of<br />

my college corridors, this one is what I most<br />

remember and what would aptly capture my stint at<br />

<strong>Vishnu</strong>- “Education is the progressive discovery of your<br />

own ignorance.”<br />

As someone who believes that one’s education is never<br />

complete without introspection, the best thing about<br />

21<br />

<strong>Vishnu</strong>, for me, is that it provided me an opportunity to<br />

do exactly that. College helped me meet people, whose<br />

thoughts and beliefs I came to regard as my own, with<br />

time. One such great soul is our Founder Chairman B.V.<br />

Raju garu. I can only imagine the sheer intensity of<br />

effort and conviction it takes to uphold a vision of this<br />

scale. He continues to inspire me ceaselessly.<br />

The four years I spent at <strong>Vishnu</strong> helped me understand<br />

that education is never about a mark sheet. It is not<br />

about competition with someone else outside of me.<br />

True knowledge must help one to ght one’s own<br />

demons. It<br />

must help<br />

one see the<br />

w o r l d<br />

through the<br />

l e n s o f<br />

compassio<br />

n a n d<br />

inclusivity.<br />

It must leave one slightly more humble and<br />

empathetic.<br />

“<br />

Education is the progressive<br />

discovery of your own ignorance.<br />

”<br />

The world is such an enormous blob of human<br />

thoughts and their consequent action. But whatever be<br />

these thoughts supercially, they are all intertwined in<br />

a unied aspiration- love and happiness. <strong>Vishnu</strong><br />

helped me see this more clearly in these four years<br />

than ever before. It left me with a sense of purpose and<br />

clarity for which I will be forever indebted to it. If<br />

college truly helps you discover your ignorance, what<br />

more can you ask of it?<br />

breathing life into the design-thinking and storytelling of startups<br />

and brands. Their creative tool belt consists of pitch decks crafted<br />

on Prezi, UI for apps and websites, content marketing designs, and<br />

branding. We recently heard from Co-Founder and CEO, Kay Pee<br />

(Karthik Puvvada)(on the left in the Photo), on BICAD winning 1st<br />

Jewel Burks (CEO of PartPic) in one of the Startup Village events in<br />

Atlanta Tech Village. More than 75% of our clients are from the<br />

Atlanta region and we love the entrepreneurial vibe here. Atlanta<br />

great ideas for their startups. But great ideas need great<br />

storytelling and presentation for investors/customers to believe in<br />

them. That's where we come into play.<br />

360+ entries. A comment made by our recent client: You guys are<br />

like the “Pixar of Pitch Decks”<br />

In what ways does your creative agency cater<br />

to startups and technology?<br />

.We believe a good pitch is a deck. A great pitch is always – a story.<br />

That's why we go an extra mile for our clients to ensure we are also<br />

helping them craft a compelling story apart from the visual aspect.<br />

Our unique strength lies mainly in simplicity and designing<br />

unforgettable pitch decks eliminating any extra ounce of clutter<br />

from the designs.<br />

.We take a very collaborative approach with our clients to first<br />

learn about their vision and then proceed with the structure and<br />

style. We both (co-founders of BICAD) have had roots in<br />

technology as we were engineers in our previous careers. So we<br />

understand technology to the grain.<br />

.We have worked with some of the most complex, hardware, nonsexy<br />

and hard-to-crack clients and gave their decks a human<br />

touch. An emotional connect with the investors and customers<br />

alike.

Woah !! What a day it was, a patriotic, a noble , a memorable day .<br />

We started our day with an intention to support INFINITY RIDE<br />

which was organized by Aditya Mehta Foundations in<br />

collaboration with NTR trust. All the way it started from<br />

Bangalore to Hyderabad a 570km cycle ride with a theme to<br />

encourage the disabled to inspire them to boldly face the various<br />

challenges of life.<br />

Around 60 athletes of age group 16-70 years took part actively. It<br />

included 30 BSF Jawaans and 26 Para-athletes. We BVRITians<br />

were there to cheer and encourage them. Firstly we met Mr. Nara<br />

Lokesh and then founder of Aditya Mehta foundations, Mr Aditya<br />

Mehta. We took a groupie with him. BSF(Border Security Forces)<br />

were instrumental in providing the security to the athletes all the<br />

way. Celebrities encouraged the riders to take up more such<br />

challenges to show the world what they were capable of. It was very<br />

inspiring to see the spirit of Para-athletes complete the ride by<br />

overcoming all the obstacles and challenges and that moved<br />

everyone's hearts.<br />

We were honored to be a part of such a humble event. Thank you<br />

My BVRIT for supporting such events in the form of sponsorship<br />

and representing BVRITians over there, we really had a great day!!<br />

I lay on You...<br />

And you're fast asleep..<br />

I can hear your heartbeat...<br />

The music of your Life...<br />

From the time it started to me...<br />

You were right by my side...<br />

It may not last till I die...<br />

But your warmth will always remain<br />

within me...<br />

No matter where ever I go....<br />

Near or far...<br />

Your shadow was always there to<br />

protect me...<br />

And also will be too...<br />

You tuck me to bed...<br />

So warm and tight...<br />

My hand still in your fingers...<br />

As I slip in my dreams...<br />

DADDY<br />

MY HERO<br />

For me you're not One of a Million<br />

But One in a Trillion....<br />

You're the sun in my day...<br />

Moon in my night... and<br />

The brightest star I've ever known...<br />

In the green meadows we run<br />

together...<br />

Like we are young and free...<br />

Just like deer in the forest...<br />

And the doves in the sky and<br />

The breeze sings our chorus...<br />

I put my toes on your's and You walk<br />

for miles...<br />

For just my smile...<br />

And then I say<br />

YOU'RE MY HERO....”<br />

LIFE IN CITY<br />

vs<br />

LIFE IN VILLAGE<br />

This article won the first prize in the Essay Writing Competition<br />

organized by English Readers' Club, Club InQuizitive @ BVRIT-N.<br />

I was kind of sad, when I stepped out my<br />

grand-father's house, thought of backing<br />

off but was not possible. It was my <strong>10</strong>th<br />

grade summer vacation. I live with my<br />

family in Mumbai. My father decided that<br />

we can enjoy the vacation in our village.<br />

It was my first actually visiting the<br />

village, sounds funny, isn't it? But yes.<br />

During my experience of one month in my<br />

village, I understood the difference in life<br />

in both the areas. Yes it is true that city<br />

life is good than village life, but there are<br />

lot of disadvantages and advantages in<br />

both the areas.<br />

Let's first talk about the so called city<br />

life. Lots of opportunities for an<br />

individual to develop and excel in life.<br />

Better transport and connectivity among<br />

different sectors. A way better<br />

infrastructure than any village in terms of<br />

schools, hospitals, office, colleges etc. We<br />

are connected to each other through<br />

internet. We get continuous electricity<br />

and water, which are kind of most of the<br />

people wanted.<br />

Now, let's see the other side of the coin.<br />

Cost of living that is very high especially<br />

in cities like Mumbai. Pollution, which is<br />

the biggest problem of all. It is very<br />

difficult to find space for ourselves. Lots<br />

of rush here and there, which makes us<br />

feel uncomfortable. Schools are<br />

completely different. When I see the<br />

village schools in terms of friends, fees<br />

etc. So basically it is very tough to live if<br />

you are from middle class family.<br />

When it comes to village, what I<br />

experienced was there is lot of unity<br />

among the people, there is a harmony and<br />

protect the culture. Very less<br />

competition in different areas. A place<br />

where one can develop by putting right<br />

effort. And most of all there is no<br />

pollution and our family gets complete.<br />

Here will be power cuts, less transport<br />

and not a very good infrastructure, but it<br />

is a place where we can live freely.<br />

At the end of the day I recalled my entire<br />

village and I'm sure I will visit it again very<br />

soon. I'll support village life.

LEADER<br />

SPEAK<br />

Neelam Pathak<br />

Mrs. Neelam Pathak is the DGM, Engineering Services Division at John Deere. She was the University Rank Holder at AIT, Pune in B.Tech<br />

(Mech) and an alumna IIM Lucknow. Her stint as Leadership positions at Tata Motors, Suzlon and Mahindra facilitated her to manage and<br />

challenge the phenomenal technological growth, face the expectations and complexities in a fast evolving market place. Her affable charm<br />

combined with her go-getter attitude make her one of the smartest faces of success in the Automobile Industry. Her strength is to<br />

transform strategy into functionality by implementing carefully planned, gradual steps that ensure the vision comes to fruition. In an<br />

interview to Team <strong>Vishnu</strong> <strong>Era</strong>, Mrs. Neelam Pathak, she shared many facets of the current corporate world.<br />

John Deere is an American corporation that manufactures agricultural, construction, and forestry machinery, diesel engines, drivetrains (axles,<br />

transmissions, gearboxes) used in heavy equipment, and lawn care equipment. In 2014, it was listed as 80th in the Fortune 500 America's ranking and was<br />

ranked 307th in the Fortune Global 500 ranking in 2013<br />

Q. Could you please tell us about your<br />

journey from a fresher at AIT, Pune to<br />

DGM @ John Deere?<br />

A. I joined AIT ( Army Institute of<br />

Technology, Pune) in year 1997 , I started<br />

with E&TC branch , but as I always<br />

believe you should do what you are<br />

passionate about , I shifted in second<br />

year to Mechanical Engineering, as that<br />

was the field that I got inclined to .<br />

I got my campus placement in Tata<br />

Motors , one of the best mechanical<br />

companies for Fresher's to join for having<br />

hands on experience in automobile<br />

sector. I started as design Engineer and<br />

then moved on to take assignment in<br />

manufacturing and in Marketing for<br />

some time and later to Project groups in<br />

New Product introduction group. I was<br />

taking care of the New Products in Utility<br />

vehicle there.<br />

Later in year 2007, I joined Mahindra<br />

Navistar as the Program Manager where<br />

I was given responsibility of the very first<br />

Program of a green filed project. After<br />

completing the successful launch of the<br />

product I moved on for doing the higher<br />

studies for an year in management at IIM<br />

Lucknow .<br />

Then I Joined as Assistant General<br />

Manager in Suzlon in year 2011 in<br />

Product development their I worked in<br />

Strategic sourcing group , and later in<br />

Mid 2013 I shifted to join John Deere as<br />

DGM –Engineering Services.<br />

Throughout my professional journey till<br />

date I continuously strived to learn new<br />

things, learning lot of things by Hands on<br />

experience and taking up initiatives , this<br />

helped me to expand my learnings<br />

horizon.<br />

Q. Kindly tell us something about your<br />

learning experience at IIM Lucknow?<br />

How IIM Lucknow is different from<br />

other IIMs?<br />

A. I did a One year – executive program<br />

f r o m I I M L u c k n o w i n G e n e r a l<br />

management . The Program that was<br />

offered by IIM Lucknow was more<br />

aligned with my need , reason being I<br />

didn't want to go through a regular post<br />

graduate program , but something<br />

where I can utilize my industry<br />

experience along with the Management<br />

methodology . IIM Lucknow helped me<br />

to learn that. Considering it is one of the<br />

Premier Management institutes – I am<br />

proud to be part of that. I believe all IIMS<br />

are equally competitive and offers<br />

variety of course for freshers as well as<br />

working executives.<br />

Q. Please let us know the mechanisms that<br />

will foster better academia-industry<br />

collaboration that produce manpower<br />

of world class in the field of science and<br />

technology thereby contributing to the<br />

economical and social development at<br />

large.<br />

A. More of Industry and academia<br />

interactions through Collaboration<br />

Projects will help – academia to<br />

understand the current need of industry<br />

as well as Industry to channelize the<br />

future talent present at institutes . This<br />

could be more practically put, now a<br />

days many industries invites students to<br />

work on various current problems ; like<br />

in John Deere we Have “Techno champs<br />

“ , same is like “Baja events “ by SAE .<br />

These are some of the opportunities –<br />

where academia can participate strongly<br />

and understand today's need.<br />

Q. What are some of the 'on-the-horizon'<br />

technologies that Global Indian<br />

manufacturing companies must focus<br />

on, in order to succeed in the global<br />

markets?<br />

A. I will talk with my limited knowledge of<br />

the Industry – mainly the automobile<br />

and agricultural manufacturing<br />

companies . Some of the faster catching<br />

up trends are going towards “Greener<br />

forms” for energy source which could be<br />

cost effective as well as environmental<br />

friendly.<br />

Moving more towards Virtualised<br />

proving out of the product and reducing<br />

the Product development cycle. There<br />

has been constant need and pressure to<br />

reduce the product development cycles.<br />

Q. In the present day scenario, Innovation<br />

is the key to success for any company.<br />

What's your take on this?<br />

A. I completely support and stand for this. I<br />

believe to sustain in the market we<br />

should be constantly innovating and<br />

challenging the status quo. That is the<br />

“mantra” of survival in the highly<br />

complex and dynamic world.<br />

Q. What do you think of the popular<br />

opinion that hard work isn't enough to<br />

rise up the ranks?<br />

A. Hard work has to be aided by SMART<br />

work as well. Perseverance is the key to<br />

success, but it also depends on the<br />

directions you are headed to. One needs<br />

to have the balance of Hard + Smart<br />

work for rise up in the ranks .<br />

Q. What advice do you give for women<br />

aspiring to be future trailblazers in<br />

manufacturing and other related fields?<br />

A. My suggestions to all the girls, who<br />

would like to make their career in Hard<br />

core manufacturing Industry – to have<br />

Passion for this – that will drive you to<br />

have more of hands on experience with<br />

machines . Never hesitate by taking up<br />

initiatives to try out new things – it<br />

increases you learnings exponentially .<br />

And last “Believe in yourself”- that will<br />

drive you to overcome all the challenges,<br />

Q. You must have faced many challenges<br />

in your professional life. What was the<br />

toughest one? How could you<br />

overcome?<br />

A. I remember one incidence prominently –<br />

I was working for New Trucks Product<br />

Development in my previous company . I<br />

was once asked did you realizes the gear<br />

shift effort on the vehicle – and my<br />

answer was NO . That day I decided –<br />

that I am the program manager for this<br />

Truck Project and , I have been raising up<br />

the issue regarding the vehicle<br />

performance and I myself have not felt it.<br />

I applied to get an HDV license for Truck<br />

driving. I learned within a month from<br />

professional , then I took permanent<br />

license to drive Truck. That day onward I<br />

made a point that I need to understand<br />

the pain element we are raising – until<br />

you understand that it is not easy to<br />

convince others. But this is not possible<br />

in all cases – in those area we can ask<br />

questions to better understand it . I<br />

believe if you are convinced and take<br />

anything you will be able to convince<br />

others much better.<br />

Q. Where you draw your inspiration from?<br />

A. I draw lot of Inspiration from my father –<br />

who is a retired Armed forces Officer–<br />

reason being he has taught me one thing<br />

“Never give up” always tried till that last<br />

element left in you.<br />

Q. If GOD appears and asks you what or<br />

whom do you want to be (other than<br />

yourself), what will be your reaction?<br />

A. I am very happy in my Present state – I<br />

still want to be myself only!!<br />

Q. What is your Philosophy of life? Any<br />

Favorite quotes?<br />

A. My Philosophy in life is simple - Do<br />

what you are passionate about – if you<br />

will do what you are passionate about –<br />

Success is bound to come and “Never<br />

Give Up” so easily.

The campus derives its name because<br />

of the number of trees and mango<br />

orchards. The campus is close to a<br />

forest which covers 30 sq kms. It has<br />

variety of trees, many lakes and<br />

supports wildlife, including plenty of<br />

monkeys. Lately, this has become a<br />

hotspot for Telugu lm shootings.<br />

The campus is nudged inside a valley.<br />

A campus is having a unique rock face<br />

that is made into a water fall to<br />

enhance its beauty. This is a favourite<br />

spot for students during their recess<br />

as it offers a lot of photo shoot<br />

opportunity for seles and group<br />

photos.<br />

A very distinctive campus having<br />

many water bodies and surrounded<br />

by canals. Very refreshing and its<br />

architecture is home grown. The<br />

campus hosts 6 colleges of higher<br />

education. Its a township with over<br />

9000 students, and about 3200 stay<br />

in hostels. Very lively after 5 pm, as<br />

most of the hostlers are out playing<br />

and visiting the various food courts<br />

dotted around the campus. The<br />

"temple of gods" is a big draw.<br />

This is a new campus exclusively<br />

designed for faculty learning and<br />

teaching. A new initiative by our<br />

Chairman as he believes that faculty<br />

development is key to building a<br />

quaility education system. The<br />

buildings overlook the famous<br />

Himayathsagar lake, and campus is<br />

fully residential. The right ambience<br />

to enthuse the learned to be inspired.<br />

So, those were my first days at BVRIT. I<br />

had numerous inhibitions on how my<br />

B.tech life would go further. One fine day<br />

all freshmen were acquainted with<br />

different social welfare clubs of BVRIT in<br />

an interactive session and that’s when I<br />

got to know about Enlightening<br />

Lives,BVRIT’s one of a kind NGO. EL‘s<br />

vision is to create social awareness<br />

among students and help them in<br />

building a better society. The team has<br />

come up with an idea of collecting Rs.1<br />

per head per day on a voluntary basis from the students,which adds up to a sum of Rs.30 per head<br />

consistently. Soon, I became a part of EL and it has given me some lifetime memories and great<br />

friends. We primarily focus our funds on education, medical attention to the poor, orphanages, old<br />

age homes and help the needy students of BVRIT.<br />

One unforgettable experience I would love to share is when one of our volunteers got a call one day<br />

to help a child suffering from hemolytic anemia. His parents were poor and couldn’t bear his<br />

operation expenses. We collected the money and two of our volunteers travelled all the way to<br />

donate personally. The doctor was elated to the point that he exempted the operation fee. EL has<br />

numerous such recollections to share. Once I visited an orphanage with two of our volunteers to<br />

donate rice. We wanted to spend some time with the kids. They wanted to play antakshari, we<br />

luckily had our guitars and<br />

that’s it! It was kind of a<br />

mini-concert over there.<br />

The kids were ecstatically<br />

happy and wanted us to<br />

visit them often. After<br />

leaving we got a call from<br />

one of the administrators of<br />

t h e o r p h a n a g e . S h e<br />

sachildren id “the beauty of<br />

social service isn’t merely<br />

about donating money or<br />

stuff but lies in the way you<br />

make people happy. You<br />

have done it wonderfully.<br />

Keep visiting us often. “We<br />

felt so good about ourselves on hearing her words and visit them now and then. Few kids of that<br />

orphanage study in a school near by my place and they recognize me even today.<br />

EL has never failed to give me the considerable feeling you get when you help someone. It has also<br />

given incredible encounters and awesome friends. We don’t confine ourselves just as a part of EL.<br />

We hang out, help each other during exams and always get the required backing from our seniors<br />

who never look back to help us. It’s only because of El I got to know the motivation behind one’s<br />

living.It has made me a better individual. I am extremely thankful to our management for their<br />

support in making EL reach greater heights.<br />

Welcome Budding Freshmen Engineers!<br />

Just as the season of monsoon arrived to mark a change<br />

in the year, so the freshmen stepped into the campus to<br />

bring about a change of creativity and invention in future<br />

contemporary!<br />

It’s time for the seniors to organize the freshers party to<br />

fling aside the differences.<br />

Freshers with Ardency and zealous seniors with their<br />

unreserved nature celebrated the freshers day on<br />

September 1, 2015 in<br />

BV Raju Institute of<br />

Technology, Narsapur.<br />

On the banners written<br />

welcome freshers, the<br />

stage set ready for<br />

e n t h r a l l i n g<br />

p e r f o r m a n c e s t h e<br />

seniors cheering them<br />

up, the blustering music<br />

kept on took them to the<br />

p a r t y m o o d . O u r<br />

benevolent principal Dr.<br />

Ch Venkateshwarlu<br />

garu lend his speech for<br />

the freshmen.<br />

hopes were reached unlimited; though the time was<br />

limited the response from the juniors was inevitable and<br />

seniors maintained discipline at all the corners of the<br />

programme without occurring any uneven incidents<br />

which represented the discipline of the BVRIT.<br />

The galaxy of the performances fascinated the audience<br />

and filled zealous in the hearts of every one and lead<br />

towards healthy relation among the seniors and juniors<br />

which was an impetus to maintain further relation<br />

farther!<br />

T h e f r e s h e r s k i c k<br />

started the celebrations<br />

with their electrifying dance performances, melodious<br />

songs, humorous skits and playing of the musical<br />

instruments in an artistic style. The blitzes of<br />

performances were filled with intensiveness. Each was<br />

uniquely wonderful.<br />

The most amicable relation among seniors and juniors<br />

caught everyone’s eyes. The expectations were high, the<br />

The juniors were content with the behavior of the seniors<br />

and said that the programme was a fantastic one and<br />

enjoyed a lot, and also they responded that they never<br />

expected such coordination among the seniors and<br />

juniors.<br />

Eventually, the programme was winded up with a happy<br />

ending and the smiles of juniors and hope in future.<br />
