Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology has come a long way in imparting quality education and meaningful employment to the passing out students in the last 4 decades.
I pleasantly recall my earlier role to green the campus and the result of this is to be seen today, which also teaches a lesson that nature takes care of itself, if only we can take care of it for some time, unlike the building which calls for continuous maintenance and attention..!! We can say that it is a green patch but then, to the green eyes that we have, we see tremendous potential of being able to further green it.

In this 40th year, Ruby Jubilee celebration year, destiny has bestowed me an opportunity to be the President of this prestigious Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology…!! Having taken up this responsibility, I have a vision for our Institute.
I have a dream that;
- Our institution is upgraded to be not only international but global commitment. We have to live up to the prefix of Sir M. Visvesvaraya, who was always ahead of his times and a harbinger of change to the entire nation.
- To address this, we are fully aware that we need to have an inspired faculty and it is their commitment which is going to bring in the change.
- We have to create a salubrious atmosphere for them to bloom, that could be also of course one of the priorities.
- As always, I carry the dream very intimately with the understanding that if we dream alone it is a dream, but if a dream together it would become a reality.
- Coming to Ruby Jubilee celebrations year, I draw out ‘a vision ahead of us’ for us to address the same vigorously, courageously and vehemently.
- That the campus will be greener. The idea now is not to have a garden around the college, but to make sure that the college would be in the garden.
- Our campus has been aptly named as ‘Brindavana’ and now, at least within the one year, we have to make sure that we complete the planting wherever it is possible; with that, and the dreams that I use to give an expression now have to be realistic.
- There is a need that we will have flowing, sprouting, gurgling water bodies, wherever it is possible and beautify the other requirements to make it truly a ‘Brindavana’, and to that, we have to usher in a new prana, a new gana and a new trana..!!
- To address this also, we are having a program called ‘each one – plant one’, where every student who comes in now, will be given the opportunity of his choice of fruit-bearing and flowering trees of 10 varieties for him to ceremoniously plant it and get him connected to mother earth.
- That we will also rise with RIICE, (Research, Innovation, Incubation, Consultancy and Entrepreneurship) an initiative related to the various infrastructure and manpower requirements needed for the establishment and hopefully, we will be able to make a beginning.
- The infrastructure of the college, should be upgraded and whatever we do from now onwards, will meet the international standards and all the building will have to be spruced up to match the new standard we are going to set for ourselves.
- This institution is not going to be confined only to its own area, but the concern will extend far beyond. We intend to form a formidable group of all the neighbors to come together in our mission.
- To be contributing to the new concept of ‘Make in India’, and also, generate employment on a massive scale and support others. It is not only that we get strengthened but we also share this idea to whoever improves the quality of their life all around.
With these inputs, we will all collectively work together to make sure the institution catapults itself to a greater height and indeed, to be an example for others to emulate.
I have a call to each one of you to join hands and lets all work together to make it happen in line with our “koodi koodi maadi modi”. We have to get together to weave a magic and I am sure, each one of you will extend your wholehearted support to make it happen.
“Let us “Congregate, Consecrate and Celebrate”..!!”
