Global convention of Alumni Association of NIT-K

  The alumni of National   Institute of Technology(NIT) (formerly Karnataka Regional Engineering College) Surathkal organized a Global Alumini convention on 29 December 2007.  Dr A.R. Upadhya, Director, National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore, was invited to deliver the inaugural address at the NITK Alumni Global Convention 2007 at NITK, Suratkhal near Mangalore. Dr. Upadhya said that engineering education was at the crossroads after economic liberalisation. Avenues of employment had multiplied and competition prevailed in all sectors. Authorities of educational institutes should introspect if they were imparting education to suit the needs of the market. He said alumni associations should act as a link or bond between the Alma Mater and alumni. They should generate ideas to create brand value to institutions in which they studied. Those who had passed out should become role models to youngsters to create wealth for society, he said.
