Dr. Karisiddappa, Vice Chancellor - VTU, Belagavi visits Sahyadri
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.

Mr. Sanjay Sahay, ADGP, Karnataka Police speaks to faculty members and students
A session on “How to connect Content, Teaching and Requirement” was facilitated by Mr. Sanjay Sahay, ADGP, Karnataka Police. Mr. Sanjay Sahay, a Pro Public Speaker, Senior Police Officer, Reflective Practitioner, Technology Evangelist, Management Guru, Thought Leader & a Writer is a Cyber Security Expert who being from a History background groomed himself to be an IT expert. In his talk, he referred to Role Models like Steve Jobs & Bill Gates and urged the participants to inculcate their values and thought process in our daily living. He stressed on the issue of “Educated Unemployables” and the role of Teachers in this challenging situation of meeting the talent requirements. He emphasised that as Teachers, our priority should be on developing Content for the curriculum rather than delivery of the content. He said Curriculum & Content work in synergy as the Teacher’s role would be to transform the intangibles into tangibles. He also encouraged the teachers to upgrade the quality of teaching pedagogy year after year. Content comes into LIFE through the expertise and competency of a teacher and one should use innovative pedagogy so that it reaches the student. He also expressed his finding that “Anything done without passion is better not done” and also “Anything done that cannot be measured is again better not done”. He stressed on the importance of evaluating self on the Learning Life Cycle as to which stage we are in amongst – Data Stage, Information Stage, Knowledge Stage or Wisdom Stage and accordingly upgrade ourselves to the next level.
Mr. Manjunath Bhandary, Chairman, Bhandary Foundation was part of the session & appreciated Prof. Ananth Prabhu for connecting Mr. Sanjay Sahay to Sahyadri which provided opportunity for the faculty members and students to gain insight on the prevailing issue and the course of action to tackle it.
