Breaking the contract with unnecessary stress
2022-07-22 16:00 - 17:00
Stress is an inescapable element of the modern age. At its core, stress is a response method of the body to the unpredictability of everyday life. People try their best to cope with the challenging changes in day-to-day life. When you let all those entangled thoughts and feelings percolate instead of finding the source of the things that stress you out, it starts to take a toll on your emotional and physical health. That’s why it’s important to find ways to mitigate your body and mind’s stress responses.
The Department of Student Affairs is conducting a session on Time to kick the stress out to convey the importance of identifying harmful stress and managing it in the best way possible. Your intention shouldn’t be to eliminate all the stress but the unnecessary stress and effectively manage the rest. Student Counsellor Ms Liza Hazarika will be handling the session.
Date: July 22, 2022
Time: 4.00 pm to 5.00 pm
Venue: ALC 3 – Admin Block

Find your way to a sense of purpose
2022-07-27 19:00 - 20:00
Ever wanted to live resolutely? Felt the need to be aware of where and why are you going and what are your intentions?
Dreams that foster a sense of purpose can potentially change the trajectory of an individual’s life. Finding meaning in life is one of the fundamental human needs. But for most people, finding a purpose is not apparent. The modern world tends to distract people from their actual goals and let them be pretentious about something which is not.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate but powerful beyond measure. We are unaware of how to hold and direct our own light that it tends to frighten us more than our darkness. The secret to the meaning of life lies in recognising the true goals and aligning everything in life around that.
The Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovation is conducting a 45-minute workshop on How to fix progressive goals in life to give a glimpse of how powerful a simple act of discovering your purpose of life could be. This will be a demo session and is open to all. Post that, only 10 students will be taken for a coaching of 30 days impact programme, where mentors will be closely working with the ten individuals to create the change and become instrumental in the expected transformation. Students will be filtered for the 30 days impact programme through interviews and one-to-one interaction.
Date: July 27, 2022
Time: 7 pm to 8 pm IST
Join the session to pave your way to a sense of purpose.

Programme Schedule

From scratch to the published manuscript
2022-08-06 09:30 - 13:00
An ideal research process relies on some essential characteristics. One among them is to communicate the research findings. Peer reviewed research journals serve a huge role in this. However, researchers lack an understanding of how to write a publishable research paper. Grasping the basic structure of a scientific paper would help the researcher to decide what should be included in each section. There will be pitfalls in each of these sections but can be avoided if approached strategically. Along with the other components, target journal selection and authorship is also an important aspect of this entire activity.
Successful production of an article for submission to a peer‐reviewed scientific journal requires substantial effort. To ensure this success, The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is planning for a one-day online workshop on How to write and publish a research article.
Date: August 06, 2022
Time: 09.30 am to 1.00 pm
The workshop expects more than four hundred participants. It is open to both students and faculty from UG, PG and PhD programmes. Assistant Professors Dr V Manikandan and Dr Murali Krishna Enduri are coordinating the event. The workshop will give a general idea about topics such as, different options to publish research works, benefits of publishing research articles, steps to write a review paper or research article from scratch, hands-on training with LaTeX to write a research article etc.

Mentothon: right guidance at the right time
2022-08-13 19:00 - 20:00
Reinforcing the sense of resilience is an essential aspect of academic life. Students require a generous support system during the challenging edges of academia. They need someone who shares the same interest to reflect on the ideas they cultivate. When it comes to a student’s future, the right mentoring can encourage them to make smart decisions. The bits of advice generated through mentoring could have alternate perspectives that will help develop perseverance for a brighter tomorrow.
The Directorate of Alumni Affairs is planning to start a career center Mentothon: Virtual Alumni- Student Mentoring Programmes, under the coordination of SRM AP Alumni from different domains. The first Mentothon session will be on Everything about studying in the USA to address the queries related to the study abroad dreams of students.

Kondapalli toys; the geographical indication handicrafts of Andhra Pradesh
2022-08-16 08:00 - 17:00
The legacy of India’s craft culture always occupies a special spot owing to its beauty, dignity, form, style, and aesthetics. India is traditionally known for its rural village and wooden cottage Industries. Among them, Andhra Pradesh has glorious rural artisan handmade traditions in toys. The office of International Relations and Higher Studies conducted a workshop on August 16, 2022, to promote and celebrate the dignity of Kondapalli Toys. These toys are one of the geographical indication handicrafts from Andhra Pradesh.
The workshop belongs to the series of sessions organised as part of Aadigyan, the social leadership programme. Mr Durga Prasad, a traditional Kondapalli artisan of Andhra Pradesh, handled the workshop for two hours. He demonstrated the process of crafting the toys and explained their history. Various tools used for wood carving, division of labor among male and female artisans, social implications of the toys, etc., were discussed in this interactive session. Volunteered students also learned some wood carving basics from the artisan himself.
The rural industry holds a share of ten percent in the decentralised sector. The handicrafts industry is one of the major sectors that offer employment opportunities to a larger number of individuals. Yet the 400 years old industry is not getting the attention it deserves due to a lack of promotion and awareness. Sandeep Samala, the programme coordinator, highlighted the need for spreading the heritage of Kondapalli toys among the younger generation. He also explained how the industry could be approached from a startup’s perspective to amplify the toys’ promotion.

The event was organised by the Department of Student Affairs to emphasise the cultural significance of the festival, promoting unity among the students.

Patent Maker: instigating promising patents for a technology-driven India
2022-08-18 19:00 - 19:45
Innovation is crucial to the development and deployment of technologies. Patents stimulate technological innovations by providing an incentive for research and development. They disperse technical information and facilitate technology transfer. Hatchlab Research Centre unveils the concept of Patent Maker to give breath to the projects and patents that deserves a high commercial application. Professor G S Vinod Kumar, an expert, mentor, and multidimensional professional, will guide the workshop by sharing his valuable wisdom in the domain of innovation and leadership.
Date: August 18, 2022
Time: 7.00 pm to 7.45 pm
The life cycle of technologies runs through invention, research, development, dissemination, market development, and commercial diffusion. The various processes happening at each of these stages provide numerous opportunities to employ instruments that promote innovation.
However, the journey of a perfect project or patent is quite challenging and time-taking. So much hard work goes down in creating one good project or filing one patent. But the irony is that roughly only around 3% of the patents are being commercialised. Their impact is not reaching where they are supposed to, as they are unable to deliver greater benefit to society at application levels. Promising projects and patents are literally national assets. A little alignment of the priced asset with the industry can turn most of the brilliant work into something of high commercial value, which could be a boon for the entire economy.
About the Speaker
Professor G S Vinod Kumar did his PhD from IIT Kharagpur and post-doctoral research at Helmholtz centre Berlin for materials and energy, Germany. He has vast research experience in metallurgy and materials engineering about 16 years, in the field of non-ferrous alloys and precious metals.

An introduction to federated learning
2022-09-16 16:00 - 18:00
The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering is hosting a seminar on September 16, 2022, at 4.00 pm as part of the Guest Lecture Series. Dr Anurag Singh, Associate Professor and Dean of Research and Consultancy, NIT Delhi, will deliver a talk on the topic “Federated Learning”.
Abstract of the talk
The most crucial resource for any business, individual, or person in the world is data. Everyone, whether an individual or an institution, wants to prevent a data breach. High-quality data must be subjected to machine learning algorithms. The model is trained using traditional machine learning techniques, which save data to one server. There is a chance that this method will expose personal information. A machine learning technique called federated learning (FL) enables machine learning models to train on various datasets located on various sites without sharing data. Without putting training data in a centralised location, it enables the development of a common global model. Additionally, it permits personal information to stay in local places, lowering the risk.
A new area of machine learning called federated learning already offers greater advantages than conventional machine learning techniques.
Data Security: Training data is kept locally on the devices, negating the need for a data pool.
Data variety: Heterogeneous data since it incorporates information from various users.
Real-time continuous learning: Client data is used to enhance models continuously.
Federated Learning is applied in the field of IoT, Healthcare, smartphones, Advertising, Autonomous Vehicles etc.
