Dr. Steven L. Fernandes interacts with Dr. Anuradha Agarwal, Principal Research Scientist, MIT, USA
Dr. Steven Lawrence Fernandes, Assistant Professor, Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, currently pursuing his Post-Doctoral Research at Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Alabama Birmingham, USA interacted with Dr. Anuradha Agarwal, Principal Research Scientist, Microphotonics Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. Dr. Anuradha Agarwal’s work has focused on the technologies for the foundational components of future electronic-photonic chips including polysilicon waveguides, LEDs, couplers, and optical buffers. She has been involved in several research projects at the Microphotonics Center at MIT, since its inception and she has more than 25 years of experience working at MIT.
Her prior research includes the integration of active and passive optical components on silicon, using standard Si-CMOS fabrication processes. As a part of this research, she developed, evaluated, and later confirmed, the utility of polycrystalline silicon material for waveguide applications. Her current work centers on the mid-IR (MIR) regime. Her work on MIR materials and devices is creating a planar, integrated, Si-CMOS-compatible microphotonics platform which will enable on-chip imaging and sensing applications. Prior to coming to MIT she received her doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering from Boston University, where she investigated the spatial extent of point defect interactions in silicon. With Dr. Anuradha Agarwal's cross-disciplinary training, industrial experience, and background in Physics, Electrical Engineering, and Materials Science, she has successfully connected basic sciences with relevant applications, using integrated devices that are manufacturable on a large scale.

Dr TN Prakash Kammardi, Chairman, Karnataka Agriculture Price Commission addressed MBA students
Dr. TN Prakash Kammardi, Chairman, Karnataka Agriculture Price Commission, Bengaluru addressed the MBA students on new paradigms in agriculture. He emphasized on the fact that not many post graduates would seek agriculture as a career avenue as there is huge demarcation between industry & agriculture. The major difference between agriculture and industry is based on the emphasis on land, labour, capital & organization. He called agriculture as the biological industry. He said that farmers are gambling with the monsoon & middle men. The need of the hour is to turn the young mind towards agriculture rather than industry only.
He also stressed on ideas that will reduce our dependence on the nature. He was pointing towards bore wells, construction of big dams and use of available natural resources. He also enlightened the crowd with facts that government is trying its best to encourage the agricultural sector. Few of these are 100% government sponsored programme that work towards the welfare and creating strong knowledge in the subject area. Banks are offering loans on subsidised rate, Role of APMC in distribution and marketing of agricultural products.
Mr. Kammardi focused on modernizing the agriculture and the status of agriculture is based on the following steps :
• Contract farming
• Cooperatives
• Farmer producer companies
• Strengthening the coolective bargaining capacity of farmers.
He concluded by stating that farmers should become price makers rather than price takers. Ms. Tejaswini, Wife of Mr. Prakash Kammardi also graced the occasion and answered many of the students queries related to floriculture and vertical farming.
Day Seven of Induction Programme MBA2017-19
During the Day seven MBA students were addressed on the topic “Neuro Linguistic Programming” by Mr. Ramani Venkat, Director (Sales), Varnaaz Solutions on the concluding session of the induction programme. He made students understand the relevance of choosing the right course. He also pointed out the importance of each specialisation of MBA and how one can choose the same based on the skill sets the students possess. He also laid emphasis on focusing on the individual goals and overcoming every problem faced by them.
The later part of the session was activity based on communication skills which brought out the learning outcome that communication is said to be complete only when its purpose is served. Post this, students were divided into groups and given a case study to be discussed followed by a board activity. The session was concluded with activity based learning with a theme “learning life skills”.
