National Conference on Emerging Trends in Science and Engineering

The two-day national conference on Emerging Trends in Science and Engineering (NCETSE 2018), organized at Shri Madhwa Vadiraja Institute of Technology & Management, Bantakal was inaugurated by Dr. K Byrappa, Hon’ble Vice Chancellor Mangalore University on 27 April 2018.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. K Byrappa, told that “Modern science tells us that nature is a continuum of physical world to the chemical world to the biological world. Disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, etc started as the knowledge base expanded and it was necessary to focus on a sub-domain for research purposes. Collaborations amongst people with broad knowledge of science as a whole combined with discipline-specific vertical depth and sufficient knowledge of methodology/terminology used in various disciplines would be a good recipe for pushing the frontiers of science in all directions”.

Shri. Ratnakumar, Secretary Shri Sode Vadiraja Mutt Education Trust, Udupi presided over the inaugural function. Dr. Thirumaleshwara Bhat, Principal, welcomed the gathering. Mr. Roshan Kotian, Asst. Professor Civil Engineering Department introduced the guests and the Convener Dr. Sudharshan Rao, H.O.D, Mechanical Engineering Department proposed the vote of thanks. Mr. Ananat Mallya, Asst.
