Prof. Richard Pinto was invited to deliver a lecture at IIT Madras specifically to present his experience in the creation of IIT Bombay Nanofabrication facilities.
During his talk, Prof. Pinto stated that the first major grant of Rs. 100 crores was awarded by DietY, Govt. of India in 2006, jointly to IITB Mumbai and IISc Bangalore to setup India’s first major Nano-electronics facilities. While IIT Bombay concentrated on advanced device-centric approach, IISc, Bangalore focused on advanced material-centric approach with a healthy overlap between the two institutions. Prof. Pinto also stated that he was fortunate to be a member of the faculty at IITB and played a key role in setting up the Rs. 200 crore national facility which is now known as IITB-NF. He also said that he was a part of the team who conceived the highly successful Indian Nano-electronics Users Program (INUP) by which many institutes in the country including Sahyadri have benefited.
Prof. Pinto also led a team from Sahyadri and MIT, Manipal for collaborative work with Material Science Research Center (MSRC), IIT Madras. The team had a fruitful discussion with Prof. M S Ramachandra Rao, Chairman of Physics Department and senior faculty associated with MSRC, IIT Madras, who has agreed to collaborate in many areas including Solar cells and Gas sensors, with Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management and MIT, Manipal. Prof. Rao is also an advisor for SRM University, Tamil Nadu, which is a private university with a vision and mission to raise the level of the university to that of IITs.

Self-Development Programme facilitated by MBAs for Higher Primary students at Grama Panchayat Govt School
There is a famous Sanskrit Shloka which reads - “Vidya dadaati vinayam, vinayam dadaati paatrataam, paatratva dhanamaapnoti, dhanaat dharmam tatatsukham”. This means “True knowledge gives discipline, from discipline comes worthiness, from worthiness one gets wealth, from wealth one does good deeds which leads to happiness”. With this premise in mind, a team of MBA First year students conducted a training programme on “Self-Development” for Higher Primary students at Grama Panchayat Govt School, Pandeshwar, Mangaluru. This programme focussed on activity based learning which imparted hands on experience and invoked student’s creativity skills. Activities like “Passing the message”, “World Building”, “Goal Setting” and “tail on the cat” were conducted which emphasised on developing communication skills, self esteem and develop team participation. This initiative is conceived as a part of practical component of curriculum related to Human Resource Management and institutional corporate responsibility. MBA students were overwhelmed by the participation of innocent kids and were nostalgic about their own school days.
There are more teams lined up in the MBA Department to seek approval from Government schools & colleges in the vicinity to conduct Soft Skills Training, Self-Development Programmes, Basic Training to meet the day to day needs of children, Do it Yourself (DIY) Projects etc., that not only adds value to self and our institution but also to the society on the whole.
