22-Apr-2017
Dr. Karisiddappa, Hon'ble Vice Chancellor of Visvesvaraya Technological
University (VTU), Belagavi visited Sahyadri & interacted with
students & staff members.
Firstly, it was a great opportunity for the students who achieved in
IIT's and NIT'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 & utilise the widespread opportunities. He appreciated the efforts
of the institution and was amused to see the ideas & actions that he
planned for the institutions already existing & being practiced at
Sahyadri.
He also quoted Mr. 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; however one should be engineered to be an engineer
which makes them productive to the society.
Mr. Manjunath Bhandary in his remarks reiterated that the motto of
Sahyadri is to set high standards hence our student’s achievements in
IIT's & NIT's have knocked loudly. Dr. Karisiddappa is a student of
Dr. D L Prabhakara, Director, Sahyadri College of Engineering &
Management, hence while giving the Vote of thanks, Dr. D L Prabhakara,
going back to his memories, acclaimed that Dr. Karisiddappa was humble
& a hardworking student and has helped many in need.
