SUMMARY:Algorithms as the game-changer in the digital era
DESCRIPTION:Industrie 4.0 has become increasingly global and cross-industry\, driving digital transformation across industries\, businesses\, and governments. SRM University-AP observes National Engineers’ day with an inspiring talk by Mr Dasari Ramakrishna\, Managing Director\, Efftronics Systems Pvt. Ltd.\, on September 15\, 2021\, at 06.45 pm. \nThe heartbeat of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is algorithms. While algorithms are not new\, the transition of businesses to be algorithmic is game-changing. Mathematicians describe an algorithm as an encapsulated set of rules that act on data to determine an outcome. In today’s digitalized world\, companies use algorithms on a daily basis to influence and support decisions (fact-based decision making). In system development\, algorithms building is the most challenging and major activity. Often engineers are expected to build completely new algorithms which are not available in the market (internet). One should adopt commonly available algorithms when required. But what is more important is to use various algorithmic concepts/principles together in combination to build a new algorithm. Like any development\, algorithms building also follows the cycle of defining\, analysing\, designing\, implementing\, and testing iteratively in a systematic way. If one had to build algorithmic thinking\, they need to practice with different scenarios\, reflect upon the results and experiment continuously. \nEvery year on September 15\, India commemorates Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya’s accomplishments by observing National Engineers Day. Visvesvaraya\, the Bharat Ratna awardee\, was born in the Karnataka village of Muddenahalli on September 15\, 1861. As a pioneer in engineering\, he made numerous contributions to the infrastructural backbone of the country. \nAbout the Speaker:\nMr Dasari Ramakrishna is the founding CEO of Efftronics Systems Pvt. Ltd.\, established in 1985. Backed by rich R&D\, Efftronics is now a leading provider of smart solutions for railway signalling\, smart cities\, smart buildings and industries. He is the architect of one of India’s largest IoT networks built for Indian railways with more than 6 million things connected across 9000 locations. He is a continuous learner & thought leader. Under his leadership\, Efftronics has innovated more than 50 solutions for different domains. By continually growing Efftronics\, Mr Ramakrishna has proved to the Indian industry that “With right aspirations and sincere effort to deliver value to customers\, it is possible to be successful and location doesn’t matter.” He is the former chairman of CII- A.P State Council. He serves as a member of the board of studies\, academic councils and governing body for several educational institutions and advisor for various universities. \nJoin this rekindling session on September 15\, 2021\, at 06.45 pm to understand the complexities of algorithm building.

SUMMARY:Chairman-AICTE elucidated the changing scenarios of the education sector in the Post COVID era
DESCRIPTION:The Tenth edition of the University Distinguished Lecture (UDL) Series\, organised by SRM University-AP\, expounded on a pertinent problem of the current time\, “Higher Education in India in the Post-COVID-19”. Prof Anil Sahasrabudhe\, Chairman of All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)\, delivered the Distinguished Lecture\, and Shri Satish Chandra\, IAS\, Special Chief Secretary\, Higher Education\, Government of Andhra Pradesh\, gave a special address. \n\n\nIn his welcome address\, Prof D Narayana Rao\, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of SRM University-AP\, set the context of the event\, emphasising on how the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis has resulted in the temporary closure of about 1000 Universities and about 40\,000 Colleges in the country\, severely disrupting the teaching and learning process and research activities. The transition to “Learn From Anywhere (LFA) happened overnight and people had to get used to it. National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 recognises the importance of leveraging the advantages of technology while acknowledging its potential risks and dangers. Online education calls for carefully designing and appropriately scaled studies to determine how the benefits of online/digital education can be reaped while addressing or mitigating the downsides. There is a need to establish a “Digital and online Wing” in the Departments of Education in different states of the country. \n\n\n\nProf Anil Sahasrabudhe in his Distinguished Lecture\, delineated that the use of technology in the education environment has been initiated in the Pre-COVID days. Platforms such as Swayam\, National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) came into existence to digitally bring quality education to everyone. Digital education carries a boon that no one can ignore\, i.e. making physical distance irrelevant in education. Digital education has the ability to reach students anywhere and everywhere provided they are equipped with gadgets and internet connectivity. Thus\, the Government of India has undertaken a nationwide project under\, Bharat Net\, Unnat Bharat Abhiyan to connect every corner of India through the internet. Prof Sahasrabudhe accepted that all subjects cannot be taught online\, especially lab-based practical courses that will have the need to attend physical classes. Music\, Drama\, sports\, other performing and fine arts\, which are an essential part of a pedagogical system\, cannot be studied online. Moreover\, a digital class can never replace the bonding humans tend to develop while working in close proximity. However\, it cannot be debated that the education system as we know it has changed. The future of education comes with a blended environment. Fortunately\, National Education Policy-2020 envisioned the change long ago and introduced a relevant policy to ensure the educational growth of the country. Multidisciplinary Education and Research Universities (MERU)\, Academic Bank of Credits\, National Academic Depository are some of the revolutionary changes that are going to benefit the next generations in the post COVID days. The government has already established National Research Foundations to support mega research projects\, which may need several crores of rupees. Prof Anil Sahasrabudhe emphasised that studying in one’s native language is an essential requirement that NEP looks into. Prof Sahasrabudhe asserted that proper administration\, governance and autonomy are some of the deciding factors for the education sector in the coming days. While concluding his speech\, he further elucidated AICTE’s initiatives towards the advancement of the education sector-Curriculum Revisions\, Project-Based Experiential Learning\, Faculty Training\, Industry Internships\, Students Internship Programmes are soon to be inseparable aspects of the changing education sector. \nShri Satish Chandra highlighted the challenges associated with online education in respect to the state of Andhra Pradesh. 3000 colleges and 17 universities with 12 lakhs students in Higher Education Sector have got affected because of the pandemic. However\, the future of education brings a blended environment with both online and offline teaching-learning options. He opined that LMS\, Online Platforms\, gadgets such as desktops\, laptops or tablets are going to be a part of the new normal of the education sector. The Government of Andhra Pradesh strives to help economically backward students by providing the gadgets at an affordable cost under various scholarship schemes.

SUMMARY:Prof Ajay K Sood\, FRS delivered the University Distinguished Lecture 01
DESCRIPTION:Prof A K Sood on “Doing Science Without Borders”: Collaboration and curiosity among researchers will lead to impactful multidisciplinary solutions of the 21st century \nThe first University Distinguished Lecture on “Doing Science Without Borders” commenced with an inaugural welcome speech by Prof V S Rao\, Vice-Chancellor\, and Prof D Narayana Rao\, Pro-Vice-Chancellor\, SRM University-AP\, Andhra Pradesh. Prof V S Rao expressed their gratitude to Prof Ajay K Sood for his gracious presence. Prof Narayana Rao emphasized that under the University Distinguished Lecture series\, the talks will be delivered by eminent scientists from India and abroad that would be of immense benefit for students and the faculty and researchers. He further mentioned\, “Doctors\, researchers\, engineers and scientists from several fields of knowledge around the world worked together to confront corona outbreak with an unprecedented spirit of collaboration. Also\, NEP advocates and emphasizes that the societal need of the 21st century require broad-based multidisciplinary research and education”. \nProf Ajay K Sood\, Fellow of the Royal Society\, FRS and Honorary Professor\, Indian Institute of Science (IISc)\, Bengaluru\, narrated three stories of his recent experiments and advanced research work\, namely “Emergent flocking behaviour seen in nature: Laboratory experiments”\, “Crystallization of Glass: Machine Learning in condensed matter Physics”\, and “Bacterial Nano Heat Engine: Getting bacteria to work”. He begins by stating that back in 1944\, a profound physicist Schrodinger introduced the concept of “aperiodic crystal” which led to the understanding of genetic molecules\, enunciating the importance of inter-disciplinary applications of scientific works. In his first narrative\, he speaks of the flocking movement among birds\, bacteria\, locusts\, and human beings as well. He brought the same experiment in his laboratory where he used 2 particles\, energized them\, and identified their flocking pattern. He observed that the velocity of movement between the two particles differ\, which can be applied to particle sorting. This experiment has applications in biology\, where bacteria and/or cells can be sorted and separated and also in autonomous cars. \nWhile explaining his second experiment\, Prof A K Sood mentioned that he studied the devitrification or the tendency of glass particles to crystallize over time to reach a state of stability from its metastable state. He used supervised Machine Learning to predict where crystallization will occur in glass. His team trained the system to identify the hard and soft particles of the glass. His experiments concluded that Machine Learning (ML) helps in identifying the soft particles\, which possess the tendency to move and crystallize over a long period of time. Further\, Prof A K Sood and his team of collaborators developed bacterial nano heat engines by mimicking the biological motors in our body which produces energy for living beings to function.
