A two-day National Level Technical Symposium titled GIST TECH FEST – 2K14 was launched amid much pomp and fanfare on 10th April 2014.
Delivering the presidential address on the occasion Sri. Dr. G. Subba Rao, Principal said that the event was being organized with the objective of empowering the students by providing them with an opportunity to bolster their skills and talents through a productive, beneficial, interaction with technical experts and eminent personalities from a wide range of engineering disciplines. Underscoring the importance of participating than winning he urged the students to upgrade and broadbase their communication skills and expand their vision and mental horizons by active involvement in such academic events.
Inaugurating the Tech Fest the chief guest Prof. M. Muniratnam Naidu, Senior Retired Professor of Computer Science & Engineering, S.V. Engineering college, Tirupathi, called upon the students to enhance their knowledge and skills, pertaining to engineering systems. He urged the students to have intense focus on designing, manufacturing, operating and maintaining the engineering systems to find innovative solutions to the unique problems arising out of modern technology. He advised the students to adopt relevant methods, techniques and approaches to pay a crucial role in the technological progress of the nation. He laid more emphasis on self study and standard text book study than the readily available study material such as all –in-over, guides that would narrow the scope of their learning. Every engineering student should be adept in concept application and analytical ability besides cultivating employable skills, managerial skills apart from technical skills.
Speaking on the occasion Sri N. Sudhakar Reddy Secretary & Correspondent said that the institution is in the forefront of initiating and organising such academic and technical events as would pave the way for the bright academic career and professional success of the students who leave the institution to face the tough competitive world outside.
As part of the Tech Fest, paper presentation contests, poster presentation, C-bugging and debating contests, cultural programmes were conducted over 200 students delegates to attend the event from various engineering colleges across the state.
