“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 />

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 />

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

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 />

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 />

offered outstanding salaries. The aim of achieving <strong>10</strong>0<br />
% placements is only a matter of time as many more<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!!.

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 />

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 />

like the “Pixar of Pitch Decks”<br />
In what ways does your creative agency cater<br />
to startups and technology?<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 />

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.

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 />

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 />
