Mangaluru: A unique interactive session by Dr. B V K Sastry, Founder and Chancellor of c, Florida, USA was held at Sahyadri on March 7.
Selected students of different batches and the Challengers Team, along with the faculty members attended and participated in the session. Addressing the gathering as “Yogis and Yoginis” to pinpoint the Indian identity, Dr. Sastry went on to assert the need for becoming and being a Yogi.
Five students volunteered to respond to Dr. Sastry’s call to take part in a live demo as to why India needs language appropriate technology to address the machine’s demands regarding Indic languages. Five students were allotted roles of Hardware, Software, Applications and Standards respectively and at the centre was placed the Language.
“Inappropriate and mismatch components, either one or all of the four inevitably cause malfunctioning or errors. Once all components are natively produced keeping in view the requirements of the native language, such products make the Indian citizens feel national pride. ‘Yoga-Samskrutam University’ contributes and adds to this pride by researching into and innovatively designing and making technology language appropriate”, Dr. Sastry said.
