Sahyadrians at 103rd Indian Science Congress
Mr. Manjunath Bhandary, Chairman and Mrs. Prasanna Bhandary, Secretary, Bhandary Foundation, along with students and faculty members visited the 103rd Indian Science Congress 2016 held at University of Mysore from the 3-7 January 2016. Organisations such as DRDO, ISRO and top universities from all over India showcased their facilities in this exhibition.
The theme chosen for this session of the Indian Science Congress was “Science and Technology for Indigenous Development in India”. The indigenous technology and research by scientists will go a long way in improving the quality of life of the common man and also the economy of the country. To achieve this goal, a lot of interactions, collaborations, resource sharing and exchange of ideas must happen. With nearly 20,000 brilliant brains converging at the 103rd Science Congress, a road map for the indigenous science and technology will be drawn more specifically to meet the societal expectation of the country.
Twenty-four students of the second, fourth, sixth and eighth semesters took part in the exhibition headed by Mr. Nishanth and Mr. John Nikhil, Technical Trainers of , DTLabz; the hands-on lab. The Chairman encouraged the students to take part in upcoming exhibitions such as these in the future too.
Students, Preetham Kumar, Semester VIII, Computer Science & Engineering, Shreya M, Semester VIII, Electronics & Communication Engineering and Ms. Achala Shetty members of Sahyadri edu Dreamers R&D Pvt. Ltd. participated as exhibitors.
  Dr. Jayaram, Mr. Ashwath Rao, Mr. Duddela Sai Prashanth, and Mr. Harisha, faculty members were also privileged to attend the 103rd Indian Science Congress 2016. The visit to the 103rd Indian Science Congress gave Sahyadrians first-hand information of latest developments in science & technology taking place in the country.
The Indian Science Congress Association was established in the year 1914 with the sole motto of illuminating the path of science and technology in the country. Today, when India is emerging strongly as a developing country and its economy getting stronger, it should not be forgotten that the contribution of science and technology has helped India immensely to achieve this feat.
