Prof Prasad indicated that the students start to learn something outside of the classroom. Students need to interact with experts in the industry to gain practical knowledge and develop ideas, and these ideas need to be converted into innovations. Technical and cultural fests will bring all the students together and help them exchange ideas and knowledge.
Mr. Padmanabham motivated the students by explaining them the fact that profession is a practice and the students need to and can learn a lot while practising. He further added that the knowledge or its application goes beyond the classroom and practice knowledge does not come merely from books. Students can gain practical knowledge by interacting with professionals of various fields. The students should always think of transforming ideas into innovations.
