Mangaluru: Dr. Karisiddappa, Vice Chancellor of Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belagavi visited Sahyadri College and interacted with students and staff members.
Firstly, it was a great opportunity for the Sahyadri students who achieved in IITs and NI’s to present their achievements with respect to Robotics, Motorsports & Aerophilia & also their growth story in front of the Vice Chancellor. Dr. Karisidddapa while addressing the gathering expressed his views that one should have passion for learning followed by continuous exploring. He also mentioned that learning is a never ending process; it strengthens the fundamentals. “Technology which is learnt in the curriculum is precise, however there are many more aspects to be covered and one should aim to be an expert in this era of inter-disciplinary sector. Engineers must learn not only in class room but also involve in R&D through projects in order to face challenges and utilise the widespread opportunities”, he exhorted. He appreciated the efforts of the institution and was amused to see the ideas and actions that he planned for the institutions already existing and being practised at Sahyadri.
He also quoted Manjunath Bhandary, Chairman, Bhandary Foundation as the best example for being a “Successful Entrepreneur”, having long term vision and systems in place. He emphasised that being an engineer won’t suffice the need but one should be engineered to be an engineer which makes them productive to the society.
Manjunath Bhandary in his remarks reiterated that the motto of the college was to set high standards because of which Sahyadri students’ achievements in IITs and NITs had knocked aloud.
