ISSUE 15 MAY 2017 

Below are the excerpts of the Interview. 

• Could you please tell us about your journey 

as a Commerce Student at Guru Gobind Singh 

College to Director- Marketing @ Harley-Davidson 

India? 

I hold an MBA from the Birla Institute of Management 

& Technology and a Bachelor’s in commerce 

from Sri Guru Gobind Singh College. From there 

on I worked with India YAMAHA Motor Pvt. Ltd 

where I was responsible for planning and execution 

of brand activations across India. This stint 

involved developing deeper consumer insights 

that aided in the successful launch of renowned 

Yamaha brands in India. 

In 2009, I joined Harley-Davidson India and was 

part of the founding team. My journey till date 

has been one hell of ride (as we say at Harley). I 

have been associated with the world’s most iconic 

brand and had the opportunity to be a part of the 

success story of Harley-Davidson India. Where 

else do you get to ride a thumping Harley-Davidson 

with hundreds of other passionate H.O.G. 

(Harley Owners Group) members as part of work? 

I get to live my passion for motorcycles and riding 

every day, I truly couldn’t have asked for more. 

• Motor biking is mostly male dominated subject 

in India and even globally what made you 

choose this field? 

I have been working with the brand since its 

inception in India and have been riding a Harley-Davidson 

since 2009. Owning or working for 

Harley-Davidson is a passion that transcends all 

stereotypical notions of age and gender. The passion 

for motorcycles and riding is paramount and 

takes precedence over everything. 

• How has the journey for Harley Davidson 

been in India since its launch in India seven 

years ago? 

Ever since Harley-Davidson was launched in India, 

we have succeeded in pioneering and establishing 

the sport of leisure riding. More importantly, 

in the last seven years, we have helped 

people see the relevance of Harley-Davidson in 

their own lives. With every year passing, consumers 

have turned to Harley-Davidson for authentic 

and inspiring ways of self-expression – be it 

through our motorcycles, motor clothes, customization 

options or rallies and events. 

As we progress, extending the reach of our brand 

continues to remain our key priority. We are dialing 

things up and remain committed to delivering 

high-demand, profitable products and premium 

retail experiences; being a leader in the marketplace, 

extending the brand’s reach beyond core 

customers and markets and cultivating great talent, 

leadership and culture for a sustainable future. 

• How challenging was it to bring the Harley 

culture to India and build the foundation 

of it here? 

Our biggest challenge was to establish a culture 

of leisure motorcycling that previously 

did not exist in India. This was overcome 

by investing in creating experiential events 

throughout the country and focusing on providing 

customers a taste of the Harley-Davidson 

lifestyle. . We’ve led the way for leisure 

motorcycling since we entered the country 7 

years ago. We’re also deeply invested, in giving 

our customers more and more reasons 

to hit the road on their motorcycles, through 

our zonal H.O.G. (Harley Owners Group) rallies 

and music festival Harley Rock Riders 

• How does the king of heavyweight motorcycling 

(H-D) keep its fans so loyal? 

The popularity that the brand enjoys today is 

a result of the hard work and our relentless 

efforts to provide our customers with unparalleled 

riding experience – a practice that 

began in 1903 and continues to inspire us 

till date. Our entire team at Harley-Davidson 

has been relentless at driving improvements 

throughout the organization that enable us— 

as a customer-led company—to design, build 

and deliver motorcycles with unprecedented 

speed, efficiency, safety and quality. This 

enables us to inspire both longtime and new 

riders to experience our brand. 

Our relationship with the customer does not 

end with the sale of the motorcycle. It actually 

begins with that. To provide an experience 

of the true Harley-Davidson spirit and culture, 

we do a number of experiential events 

at both company and dealer levels like Harley 

Rock Riders, zonal and national H.O.G. Rides 

and Boot Camps where enthusiasts can come 

learn about the history, heritage and lifestyle 

of Harley- Davidson 

• In the present-day scenario, innovation 

is the key to success for any company. 

What’s your take on this? 

The field of marketing is exhilarating and extremely 

challenging. It is especially true in 

today’s day and age when you are as good as 

your last campaign. Every brand is vying for a 

little piece of customer’s attention that is ever 

changing and evolving. Marketing allows you 

to push the envelope a little bit more with every 

new initiative, every campaign, and every 

event that you implement and gives you the 

customer interface unlike any other field. Innovation 

naturally becomes a part of this. 

• What motivates you to get out of bed in 

the morning? 

At Harley-Davidson, we aim at fulfilling 

dreams of personal freedom for our customers, 

and that has been the governing principle 

for everything we do. Our inspiration 

comes from our customers – the rides they 

do, the motorcycles they customize, the stories 

they tell. Where else do you get to ride a 

Harley-Davidson with hundreds of other passionate 

Harley owners as part of work! 

• One of the key characteristic of your marvelous 

career is leadership. What traits 

must a leader possess in the 21st century 

organizations? Also, the areas of your expertise 

deal with a lot of people. How challenging 

is that, considering the diverse 

nature of the people you deal with? 

Leadership for me means taking on situations 

head on and leading from the front. A 

good leader is also a good listener and understands 

the pulse of the team. She/he is a 

strong team player and stands by the team 

for better or for worse. Creating an environment 

of trust, right values and freedom are 

critical for leaders to manage brands. Developing 

a work place where everyone’s feels 

passionate about the brand and the product 

they are endorsing is the leadership’s primary 

responsibility 

• In January 2013, you were awarded the 

Black level HDI Continuous Improvement 

Recognition Award. What significance 

does this award hold in your life and how 

did you stand out different from the others 

in achieving it? 

This award is given for outstanding performance 

and it holds great importance but also 

responsibility. It’s always about teamwork 

and anything one achieves it’s because of 

good work done by a team. 

• Do sports have a role to play in getting 

you where you are today and making you 

the person you are? 

Basketball and gymnastics are sports that 

help me to channelize my energies and calm 

my thoughts. I also enjoy running, a yoga session, 

mountain hiking or simply listening to 

music. These are activities that boost my productivity. 

• On a personal note, what does Pallavi 

Singh like to ride? Your favourite Indian 

road stretch to ride on? 

The passion for motorcycles and riding is 

paramount and takes precedence over everything. 

I get to live my passion for motorcycles 

on my Dark Custom themed Iron 883. I enjoy 

riding in the open roads of 

Rajasthan

Head of Dept. of Oral Medicine and 

Radiology at Manipal University 

Dr. Keerthilatha M Pai is A Professor and Head of Dept. of Oral Medicine and Radiology at Manipal University. 

As a Senior Professor with rich academic and administrative experience, she assists and guides in the smooth 

conduct of the departmental activities. She trains the students in clinical and diagnostic skills and guides them

in the Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Dec 2007. As a doctor she provides quality and 

personalized dental care to patients. 

This is an interview of Dr. Keerthilatha M Pai with Dr. V. Rama Devi-Professor and Head, Department of Basic Science, 

Mr. N. Pavan Kumar-Assistant Professor of English, and Ms. V. Harshitha and Ms. S.S.N. Deepika-Students of I 

ECE, Vishnu Institute of Technology. 

1. Could you walk us through your journey to Manipal University through Dentistry? 

LEADERS SPEAK 

It was way back in 1988 that I completed my BDS. After I got married, as my husband was doing post graduation in Manipal University I had to move to Manipal. Initially I 

was very skeptical of joining Manipal because when I was young I visited Manipal, I used to see a lot of foreign students and I was really not prepared to be in such a kind 

of atmosphere. . But then when I joined Manipal, I realized they were not as bad as I was scared of and then I joined in PG in Oral Medicine and Radiology. At that point of 

time Manipal college of Dental sciences was affiliated to Bangalore University and in 1993 Manipal became a Deemed University. So I became a part of Manipal University. 

After my post graduation I got into academics and my journey has been very smooth from the day I joined Manipal University and the Department of Oral Medicine. I was 

the first person in the department, then I became the in-charge, slowly I progressed and I became the Head of the Department and also I went to become an Associate Dean. 

Later I gave up that post but my journey in Manipal has been very smooth. 

2. What motivated you to choose dentistry? 

Actually at that time when I joined dentistry, I took it as my second option but now looking back I think I am very happy that I chose dentistry, because dentistry definitely 

was much easier for women and I can balance my work and my personal life very well. 

3. As non medical people, we have little awareness about oral medicine. You are a professor in oral medicine. How exactly do you cater to the people? 

Oral medicine is a very unique branch in dentistry. Oral medicine also combines oral radiology. Oral radiology is the use of x-ray and it works like our third eye, so we get to 

see what is hidden, we get to see what cannot be seen by an eye. In medicine there is no department where there is a combination of medicine and radiology; they have to 

separate specialties in medicine. So, in oral medicine, it is the first point of visit for the Dental patient. We always have to first go through the oral diagnosis to see all the patients 

that come to the dental hospital and we try to create awareness among them about oral health because that is very important part of overall health. We try to combine 

dental health with overall health. 

4. When it comes to oral examination, what are the things that you do? 

We do a very comprehensive oral examination and oral examination is always part of the general examination. We don’t take only the mouth as a part to be examined but 

we look at the patient as a whole. So, whatever treatment we do in the mouth for a patient having some oral problem, may have impact on the whole body. We take both into 

consideration. 

5. Is dentistry, according to you, an art or a science? 

I think dentistry is both. We need to have a very strong base of science, and we have to develop our skills deeply. As we are working on small and supporting structures of art 

in dentistry, we have to be really into artistry. It is a very good combination. 

6. What are the other professional activities of yours, if any? 

I have been in Manipal for 8 years and very much involved in the quality management system of the institution. We got the ISO certification and I was the quality manager, 

and was also directing the student affairs. I am responsible for resource utilization, procedures, information, education, health and safety of the staff, students and patients. 

7. What challenges are you looking for in combining dentistry and academics? 

Challenges…... Now because of information technology most of the students are preferring Google instead of books. When we ask them to prepare for some seminars most of 

the students are not referring the text books and they simply Google. It is for us to make them realize that all that is there in Google is not the correct information or complete 

information. It is important to know the authentic source of information. Even in Wikipedia, information may be there, but it can be edited. People may not be able to get the 

complete authentic information on the internet. Right now this is one of my challenges -- to make students refer text books instead of googling. 

8. What are the possibilities for engineering students to collaborate with dental? 

There is a very good scope for the engineering students to collaborate with dental. In dentistry we use many tools and everything comes out by engineering whether it is the material 

or the machines. It is the engineers who do it. You engineers should know what our requirements are, so that you can collaborate with dentists and develop tools and materials 

for use in rural areas. 

9. How do you feel about our Sri Vishnu educational Society? 

I am really impressed by Sir Vishnu Educational Society. I see that the management has provided a very good infrastructure, and emphasizes on providing very good educational 

facilities to all the students. Hats off to Vishnu group of Institutions. 

10. Your advice to us? 

There is no short cut in education and you should work hard. Students should not worry about failure because failing is common in every student’s life. So, don’t think about the 

failures and move your step to success.

THE TALE OF 

TRIuMPH 

There are many factors that determine the quality and success of an Educational 

Institution. Good Institutions have excellent infrastructure, faculty, reputation 

and what not. However, a success of an institution is strongly reflected by the 

jobs that students secure at the campus. Placements are one of the most important 

criteria that differentiate some of these good colleges from others. Sri Vishnu 

Educational Society is known for its outstanding placements record. Since 

its establishment twenty years ago, SVES has achieved high altitudes of success. 

Placements have always been the strength of all its institutions. The vigorous 

efforts put in by the Management, Placements team, the faculty and most importantly 

the students are reflected in the placement statistics. This year, over 2221 

students have already been placed in more than 144 companies, the season has 

not yet ended. 

For years, children are taken care by their parents, who strive to make sure that they receive proper education. In this journey of a student, from kindergarten to 

graduation, parents, teachers, well-wishers and guardians have always provided the fuel for his/her wagon to success. Placement season is the time to make them 

proud and prove that all their efforts didn’t go in vain. It is the dream of every student to grab a call letter from a reputed company before leaving the college. All 

those years of hard work, determination, patience and self motivation comes down to one final challenge that is of securing a good job. Nothing can match the 

contentment that one gets after receiving the first call letter and that incredible feeling of standing on one’s feet. It boosts the spirit of students and gives them 

confidence before entering the cut-throat corporate world for the first time independently. Each year, at various institutions of SVES, thousands of students live 

this dream. 

When we talk about SVES performing exceedingly well in placements, it is important to understand the tremendous amount of ground work and background 

activities that complement the success of the students. The reputation that SVES has built over the years is an added advantage, which attracts many top MNCs 

to hire fresh talent. 

SVES has been skillful in creating new opportunities not only from Hyderabad but from all over India. A centralized Industry Relations Cell is established at Hyderabad 

which in turn works in coordination with the Training & Placement cell of all the SVES institutions. This cell is headed by Mr.Satish Paruchuri, Director 

(Industry Relations) taking care of training & placements, internship opportunities, higher education aspirations, career guidance of the students. Also the IR 

Cell has Industry Liaison Officers (ILOs) deputed at Chennai, Pune, Bangalore, Gurgaon and Vadodara (coming up) to pursue the core and IT companies from 

those regions. This initiative by the SVES has proved to be very effective (and unique of its own) as it has increased the number of companies visiting the campus. 

While Industry Relations cell is instrumental in bringing opportunities for the students and taking active measures for their skill and personality development, 

the plans have to be executed well in order to get the results. This is where the facilities and faculty at different institutions come into picture. All the institutes at 

SVES have top class facilities that help students to discover and pursue their interests. Centres of Excellence, Special labs, Innovation centers, Career development 

cells, etc. are the key differentiators that make the institutes of SVES stand out when compared to its competitors. In addition, the society gives prime importance 

to the quality of teaching. All its institutes have the highly committed and qualified faculty at all the institutes provides incredible teaching – learning environment. 

VEDIC (Vishnu Educational Development and Innovation Center) enhances the quality of teaching methodology for faculty and bring the best out of them. 

Almost all the lecturers are trained here on teaching techniques, student’s psychology and other teaching-learning mechanisms 

The special labs at the respective institutes have always had an immense contribution in establishing a bright career for the students. Labs like Assistive technology 

lab, IBM center for excellence, Jay Robotix Center of Excellence, Microsoft Innovation Center, Center for VLSI design, etc. have nurtured the creativity of the 

students over the years and have helped them in designing various solutions addressing real life problems. These labs play a key role in filling the gap between 

academics and real time industry hence making the students industry ready. 

In addition to various special labs and centers of excellence the institutes of SVES are also very active at conducting various certification courses and training 

programs for students as well as faculty. Various certification courses by CDAC, SAP, PEGA, etc are integral parts of academic life at these institutes. 

Through Pega’s University Academic Program (UAP) students qualify for internships or seek employment with leading, local Global 2000 firms who transform 

their businesses with Pega technology. BVRIT Narsapur and VIT Bhimavaram are among 8 engineering colleges selected for the program, from all over India 

The stupendous success at Vishnu Dental college is because of some innovative teaching learning methods such as student mentor ship, problem based learning 

etc. Students at BVRICE are encouraged to rise beyond the confines of printed leaves and learn through practical experience. Both postgraduate and undergraduate 

students are instructed to undergo summer internships at reputed companies and industries for hands-on-experience that help them in dexterous acquisition 

of knowledge. 

VIPER is the only pharmaceutical education institute in Telangana has state-of-the-art “Centre for molecular and cancer research (CMCR)” and “Cognitive Science” 

laboratories. These Labs are significant value additions to the students of VIPER. 

Mission R&D at SVECW aims to transform intelligent, hardworking, motivated students to realize their full potential and prepare them for a great R&D career 

at major global corporations. Some major multi-national and start-up companies are signing up to interview the students for R&D roles, immediately after they 

complete the program. 

One of the main focus areas of the society is the institutionalization of early-stage small businesses by creating an ecosystem of resources and infrastructure to 

promote entrepreneurship amongst students. To realize this, a Technology Business Incubator has been set up under the aegis of Ministry of Micro, Small and 

Medium Enterprises, Government Of India to support entrepreneurial and managerial development of MSMEs through incubators. Through these incubators 

students are given an opportunity to incubate new ideas relating to cutting edge technologies, develop hands-on skills and, as a logical corollary, increase their 

employability indices/levels

REFLECTING THE REPUTE 


What BVRITians at corporate say about BVRIT 

Pratima Kumari, NSETECH 

Dubaka Trilok Navya, CSE 

I joined BVRIT with many hopes and ambitions. 

It is a dream of every student to get 

placed in a good company. In my first three 

years of engineering life, I always used to 

think about my first job offer and in the final 

year, my journey towards securing it 

started. We underwent rigorous training for 

cracking the first round of recruitment process. 

The Placement team made sure that 

classes run according to the plan. During 

this preparation time, I had a very unstable 

mind, I used to get worried about my performance. 

But the placement team helped 

me to overcome all the fears and encouraged 

me to fight for myself. We all plunged 

into our preparation for Day One Company. 

We were in a healthy competitive atmosphere 

helping each other. When Day One 

Company came to recruit on campus, thankfully, 

I cracked the first round and eventually 

other rounds as well. We were waiting for 

our results the next day and company representatives 

started announcing the names 

of placed students. When I heard my name, 

tears rolled down my cheeks and it was a 

priceless moment for me when I passed this 

information to my mother. I still get goose 

bumps thinking of it. 

Then I realized that our first job 

offer will give us lot of confidence and that 

investing our efforts only in the final year 

will not work, there should be persistence 

in our learning from the first year itself. The 

interviewer will look for the differentiators 

in a student’s resume. BVRIT is known for 

its special labs. Apart from regular classes, 

working in special labs in our college helped 

me to learn the core subjects and their real-time 

implementation as well, which made 

me stand out. I was able to crack my second 

job interview with the knowledge I gained 

in special labs. The skills you develop in special 

labs make the key points in a student’s 

resume. I managed to crack my third interview 

as well and finally placement season 

came to an end for me. 

All this was possible only because 

of the motivation and guidance which I received 

from the placement team and faculty. 

There are no words to express my gratitude 

to the placement team, for their time 

and mighty efforts. We are blessed to have 

amazing people around us, who constantly 

monitor us and help us if something goes 

wrong. Teachers, who guided me during my 

engineering at BVRIT, are true professionals 

K.Manisha,EEE, Tech Mahindra 

I think having the feeling of gratitude 

towards something and not expressing 

it is like wrapping a present and 

not giving it. I want to express my 

gratitude towards our Chairman sir 

and our wonderful placement team. 

Because it is them, who supported us 

always and helped us continuously to 

get a good job on campus. 

I am very thankful to everyone, from 

the bottom of my heart, who stood by 

us even though we were hard to deal 

with. Thank you BVRIT for making 

these golden days of our lives even 

more beautiful.. 

VANDANA PN, Mechanical Engg 

SKF Experience : 

I got placement in a SKF company 

because of the excellent support 

provided by the placement team of 

our college. Every faculty gave unique 

attention to each and every student. 

Whenever I was facing any trouble, 

I could approach any sir without 

any hesitation. They would patiently 

listen to my worries and answer them 

accordingly. They made sure we felt 

comfortable in front of them. The 

training sessions strengthened my 

communication skills and increased 

my self confidence 

Anoop Reddy Banapuram, 

Tech Mahindra 

I learned a lot of things during my four 

years of engineering, paving golden 

steps to build my precious career. Over 

the years, BVRIT nurtured me into a 

fearless, confident and an honest person. 

These factors aided me in cracking 

the interview and securing a job in 

Tech Mahindra. 

Simpi Kumari, ECE,Tech Mahindra 

I have always found myself fortunate 

to have joined in BVRIT. Each 

day spent here tells a story for itself. 

All these days were exciting and 

were accompanied with invaluable 

assets, my friends who were very 

supportive. The cheeriness of all the 

lectures always helped me attain self 

motivation and reach my goals. 

*Dedication* to work 

*Commitment* to achieve 

*Hard work* to gather us 

*Motivation* by the team 

*Future vision* shown by team to 

succeed 

All the efforts put in by the placement 

team helped us in getting 

placed in reputed companies! 

Thank you BVRIT and all the people 

whom I have met in these four 

years.. 

Kartheek, 

Careator technologies 

It has been a wonderful journey for 

me at BVRIT No words can express 

how grateful I am to be in BVRIT, 

where I learned a lot of things which 

helped me and will continue to 

help me in the future. The toughest 

part of my final year was attending 

PLACEMENTS. I have gone through 

the recruitment process of almost 

all of the companies that had visited 

BVRIT starting from day one company. 

I haven’t cleared my first round 

in any of the recruitment processes. 

Even though everyone around me 

got placed, I did not lose confidence 

as I had faith in myself. I was always 

taught that hard work pays off and 

I believe that good things happen to 

those who wait.Finally, the day has 

come for which I have been waiting 

for six long months where I cleared 

all the rounds and got placed. Don’t 

miss any opportunity, participate in 

each and every company until you 

get placed. My special thanks to the 

placement team for their unforgettable 

support, which placed me where 

I am right now. I would like to thank 

my friends who stood by me all the 

time. I always feel grateful to my 

parents who believed in me during 

my tough times and always supported 

me 

BVRIT has played a fundamental 

role in shaping the person I am 

today. Its excellent infrastructure 

and student-friendly environment 

helped me to improve my all round 

performance, in academics as well 

as co-curricular activities. The 

college has a wide variety of special 

labs such as Assistive Technology 

Lab, Randy Paush Robotics Education 

Center, Center for VLSI Design, 

Microsoft Innovation Center and 

many more. These labs provide a 

much needed platform where one 

can convert what is learnt in books 

and classrooms into some real 

applications. Apart from this BVRIT 

gave me the opportunity to participate 

in various events ranging 

from technical symposia to sports 

competitions. Extremely supportive 

faculty is one of the greatest assets 

of BVRIT and also a key player in 

students’ success. 

Being at a respectable position in a 

reputed firm today, I am truly thankful 

to BVRIT for all my achievements. 

I am proud to be a BVRITian 

Deepika Ravuri, 

ECE John Deere 

In addition to technical learning, I 

utilize my time in Club Inquizitive 

for learning new skills. I am the 

Student Lead of English Reader’s 

Club which inculcates the habit of 

reading books among the students 

to enhance their English Language 

Skills. All these helped me to 

shape myself as a confident person 

and I feel this natural process as a 

preparation for job interview. 

To describe the job interview 

process: 

In the interview, they asked me 

logical questions, gave some 

problems to solve and programs to 

code. I was successful in answering 

90% of the questions. However, 

I felt the recruiters were more 

concerned about the approach. 

I feel that all these secondary 

factors cumulatively helped me in 

earning a job @ John Deere, the 

primary factor being my family for 

their encouragement, support and 

love!

Model UN conference @BVRIT-N 

BVRIT Narsapur organized an interaction with fifteen recently selected young IAS officers at BVRIT Campus 

Narsapur. The two-hour long session enriched the students, especially those aspiring for Civil Service 

examinations. After listening to the IAS recruits, students had cross questioning. 

Question-answer session remained the most interesting part of the interaction wherein young 

students, who are preparing themselves for the Civil Services examinations, clarified their 

views with regard to selection of optionals, preparation and time 

management in the examinations. The ob- 

jective of this 

interaction is to provide Civil Service 

aspirants 

a platform to enrich themselves 

w i t h 

the experiences of success- f u l 

IAS recruits. These leaders o f 

the future ended the session 

b y 

pointing out that passion and 

integrity make a successful 

IAS officer, bringing an enlightening 

interaction to a sobering 

conclusion

FUTURE 

LEADERS 

The first ever Intra Model United Nations Conference was successfully conducted in BVRIT Narsapur on 17th 

& 18th February, 2017. 

A Model UN conference is an academic simulation of the United Nations, with the primary objective of educating the 

youth on matters of international importance, and helping them develop skills such as leadership, oratory, public speaking, and 

diplomacy. 

Model United Nation Conferences have become prestigious competitions throughout our country held in different universities and colleges. Hence we 

believe our college, having an Intra MUN Conference is an initial step towards a bigger vision. 

More than two hundred delegates participated in the MUN, who were divided into three different councils – the United Nations General Assembly - Disarmament 

and International Security, the United Nations - Security Council and the United Nations- Human Rights Council 

UNGA (United Nations General Assembly) 

The first committee of the General Assembly had discussions on the agenda “Arms Race and Disarmament with emphasis on South Asia and Middle East”. Most 

of the delegates would agree that this was the most active and indulging committee wherein the ideas proposed and the level of debate clearly stood apart 

and that’s only because of the delegates’ sheer interest and enthusiasm 

throughout the conference. The delegates deliberated on various topics 

such as the need of arms and weapons and the Non Prolifera- 

tion Treaty (NPT). The Executive Board Members, Mr. Prajwal 

and Mr. Sai Ram made the first time MUN experience of 

almost all the delegates a memorable one and enkindled 

in them the fire to participate in many more such 

MUNs. 

UNHRC (United Nations Human Rights Council) 

This committee’s agenda stood true to its name 

i.e. “protection of women rights with emphasis 

on South Asia”, as we saw a healthy debate 

and solutions put forth by the delegates that 

not only reflected the need of the hour but 

also emphasized on the impact it has on the 

youth of this generation. Active participa- 

tion and thorough guidance by the executive 

board members Mr.Vansh Narula and 

Ms. Anusha were the highlights of this 

committee. 

UNSC (United Nations Security Council) 

United Nations Security Council was a 

double delegation, wherein delegates 

formed a team of 2 and represented one 

country. The delegates discussed on 

the agenda “Situation in Kashmir”. This 

council had 40 delegates representing 

20 countries and underwent complex debates which included making Kashmir 

a sovereign nation, reforms in trea- 

ties which would help the situation 

over there and discussed laws such 

as AFSPA. 

The MUN conference was a 

great learning experience for all the 

delegates 

BVRITians’ First Student Conclave 

For the first time in BVRIT, a student conclave was held on 28 

platform for the students to express their views and voice their opinions. The conclave 

the Vishnu Raju Garu (Chairman-SVES), Ravichandran Rajagopal Garu (Vice-Chairman, 

(Director, VEDIC) and Ram Kumar Garu (Director). 

March 2017 as an open 

was presided over by 

SVES), Sundarrajan Garu

10 


BVRIT Student Conclave is an initiative to establish an effective mechanism in order to look 

for ways to improve the student community and taking steps for overall development of an 

individual at BVRIT. There were segregated categories where students who had the same 

concerns were pooled together. This was done based on the responses of the Google forms 

which were circulated earlier in the month. Every group had voiced their opinion and views 

through one representative from the group. Every problem was addressed by the Chairman 

and possible solutions were immediately proposed. Categories such as Sports, Technical 

Clubs, Initiatives, Educational re-forms were discussed under the same roof 

Students expressed their perspective of the various issues faced in the college. They had 

also come up with innovative ideas and solutions to mark the overall development of a student 

at BVRIT. In the open discussion various speakers voiced their opinions on the same 

category leading to a broader understanding of the issues. 

The BVRITians’ Student Conclave, a first of its kind was a major breakthrough in 

breaking the stereotype of an engineering college in the twin cities. The issues discussed 

were taken into account and all the possible solutions and initiatives are taking shape. So 

it is fair enough to say that with the guidance and leadership of the Vice Chairman and the 

Organizing Committee of the conclave, the student conclave will have a significant impact 

on the future of BVRIT 

It’s Time to RISE 

AARAMBH – 2017 - Student Clubs – Curtain Raiser 

Aarambh became the event which gave way to a lot of talent uprising, the main motto of the event being “to bring out the internal talents and 

interests of students”. A great response was received from the students and the event organizers surely would owe the success of Aarambh 

to the students. The event was an amazing idea to help students to revive their passion and get groomed by well known personalities. 

Additional support and suggestions from the management was the major reason for success of the event, making Aarambh a platform for 

several groups of talented people rising up and showing how culturally active they are 

It’s a great pleasure to be a part of *AARAMBH*. As a crew member, everyone had difficulties while organizing but team work made it 

possible to handle the event successfully. Interaction with speakers was amazing. Their experiences taught us many things. Aarambh 

is one of the best examples to prove that team work always gives the best result 

- Parushuram 

The two day program which we have organized has become a grand success and crew team has got very good response from 

the students and staff. I have learnt new things like how to work in a team and how should we provide good hospitality to 

the visitors. And from the program I have learnt different things which are helpful in our life. From each and every program 

from photography, fashion designing, film making, digital marketing we have learnt new things how will they be in practical 

World 

It was an amazing experience hosting the event where I could utilize my skills and at 

the same time learn something new from every field. An amazing crew was there 

to guide the participants and different experts in various fields who enlightened 

us with their insight. As a whole, Aarambh was true to its name, as it gave participants 

an opportunity to explore their talents! 

- Jeffrey 

Many a time, I have been asked about why people trek. “What is the point of struggling to get all the 

way to the top of the mountain, carrying a heavy load, while almost always, a vehicle can take you to 

the top?” this question always baffles me. So here are my thoughts and experience with the MyBVRIT 

Team and Hyderabad trekking club members 

Fit- 

ness doesn’t always come easy. And sometimes, you have to go the distance simply to get fit. For a lot of 

fitness 

freaks, trekking is a great incentive. Why walk on a treadmill when you can walk on the mountains? The road to 

fitness requires a positive mindset and a great amount of motivation, which trekking offers. 

Guides were cheery throughout, so much that by the end we bonded strongly with them, and left with a genuine appreciation from our 

side. The interactions with the MyBVRIT team are excellent and they have unique ideas. Others have exaggerated on the difficulty of this 

trek. On the contrary, I found it one of the most comfortable treks, even for someone with very basic outdoors experience. “Trekking is 

a unique surface, different from all other jobs or events.” 

- Prudwish 

PIXEL ARMY was there to teach all of us about photography. The students loved the session and they were enthusiastic throughout the 

session. Photography followed by dramatics, RJ talk show and Director’s cut session. I feel very obliged to be a part of the crew of such a 

wonderful event. The idea was a great initiative by the My BVRIT media. The two day “Aarambh” was undoubtedly a big hit. And we are 

all extremely happy for the success of the event. 

- Aashritha Auradkar.


It was really great and exciting to work with the crew members. It was good to see that everyone had put equal efforts to make Aarambh a successful 

event. Meeting the speakers and listening to their life experiences was an eye opener. Being the crew member it was definitely an amazing 

experience. I look forward for many more speakers to come and motivate us. 

-Sreeja 

11 

Our future exists in our present. One such initiative to set an example is “AARAMBH “ - it’s time to rise “. Every situation is a new learning experience 

in the journey of life and such clubs would help embrace it .We all were more than a team, with high spirit like an excited storm as always. 

It’s always a Challenging role to be a team leader. When we thought of this event, we were not sure this 

could be such a huge success. 

I believe in Team work and I would like to thank each and everyone who worked effectively for this 

beautiful beginning to Aarambh. It’s a great pleasure to our team to have Director Mr. Srinivasan 

Sundarrajan sir with us for encouraging and motivating arts and culture, and our beloved Chairman Mr. 

Vishnu Raju Sir and very supportive Vice Chairman Mr.Ravichandran Rajagopal sir. We all started our 

journey with a vision and it’s always a great pleasure to have our Dynamic principal Dr. Ch. Venkateshwarlu. 

On behalf of my team I would like to thank Mr. A L Kishore Sir, the Faculty Lead for bearing our 

efforts equally as a backbone. Mr. Bapi Raju sir and Mr. Ashok Reddy sir for tremendous support and 

encouragement

TEDx BVRIT event held on 8th April, 2017 at BVRIT-Narsapur was an event full of enthusiasm and was an enriching learning experience. The TEDx at 

BVRIT is unique in itself because the event witnessed speakers from diversified backgrounds aging from 9 years to 60 years. Starting off with ever so 

curious attendees from different colleges, the event began with “Sowmya Bhaskar” speaking about how a person should not give up in the face of adversities 

through her life experiences. Followed by that was a talk by the born prodigy “Hemang Vellore” who taught everyone that age is just a number 

and not a criterion to rock the world. Then came “Andy Silveira” who shared his broad-minded approach on transgender biases. 

Continuing to inspire in the talk show, we had “Dr.Sujaritha”, Guinness record hold in Kuchipudi, inspiring the audience how she took up the challenge 

of teaching ‘differently enabled’ children to dance, as her passion. It was appreciable for the efforts she has put in to train the physically challenged 

and was applaudable when we experienced it live. Seeking for a unique identity in the society with his stand-up comedy, there came next speaker 

“Rohit Swain”, the standup comedian making everyone laugh with great sense of humor.” “Always tell-Never sell.”, Next came “Rahul Tamada”, CEO 

of Tamada media. He taught everyone the importance of online presence for a student to be recruited and have an overall development in one’s career.”Hemanth 

Satyanarayana” was next on the speakers’ list, enlightening everyone about 

revolutionizing education and defense through augmented reality and virtual reality technologies. 

The next was a motivational talk on Entrepreneurship and innovation in today’s world 

by Mr.Ananth Rao. Before the arrival of the surprise speaker, Mr.Lawrence Mohanraj drove 

everyone into the world of Internet of Things (IOT). And to everyone’s astonishment the surprise 

speaker turned out to be Jahanavi Sriperembuduru, an Indian mountaineer. She started 

her mountaineering career at a very tender age of 10 months, along with her parents Dr. S. 

Krishna Rao (Father) and Mrs. S. Saraswathi (Mother). By the age 3 years, she used to accompany 

her father in different Treks and Expeditions along with other children 

and be her father’s Assistant in helping him during the Trek 

Thus, with the support of our chairman, Sri K.V Vishnu Raju Garu and Vice 

Chairman Sri.Ravichandran Rajagopal Garu, the event went on to become full 

of life along with learning. Kudos to TEDx BVRIT team: Surendhar Reddy,Y 

ash Zauwar,G Saranya,Sravan Reddy,Ravi chandhra Reddy,Surya Teja Varma,Simpi 

kumari,Dinesh Kamble,Sai Kumar Reddy,Shrihari Shetty,G Sreeja 

and Akash. The event would not have been successful without the faculty coordinator 

Mr.A L Kishore, Associate Professor for his indomitable support during 

the entire event
