KCN):

After lightening the lamp and declaring the workshop open, Shri S. Goverdhan Rao, Registrar, NIT Warangal shared the welcome address. He shared the idea and purpose behind organizing the workshop. He said a similar workshop was organized in 2019, January to bring together effective practices from different NITs. The deliberations were also shared with the ministry, he said. He said this workshop aims at discussing best practices of administration in various NITs.

Prof. Bidyadhar Subudhi, Director, NIT Warangal welcomed the delegates to the workshop. He said that 31 NITs should have synchronization. We should learn and adapt the best practices from each other. NIT Warangal has taken this step to invite our colleagues from our sister institutes to discuss the best practices and bring out deliberations to make NITs better institutes.

*Prof. K. Umamaheshwar Rao, *Director, NIT Rourkela, said that there will be change just not in NITs but the entire education system. “Time makes the biggest change,” he said, he hailed from a small place at Nalgonda where seeing a train was a dream. While he was in the class tenth he saw Falaknuma Express for the first time passing through their place andlater when he went to study at IIT Kharagpur, he traveled on the same train. Every single person working is as important as the Director of the institute. “We have a lot to do and we can do magic. It is like a game where everyone has to perform and then we can make our institutions the best in the world,” he said

Prof. Sunil Kumar Sarangi, Former Director, NIT Rourkela and chief guest said NIT Warangal is special in the NIT System. It was the first of the RECs founded in 1959 and is considered to be the eldest brother and is good that the institute is organizing a workshop that is timely. He quoted that “What cannot be measured cannot be managed” and hence it is important to measure efforts towards work but not attitudes. He hoped that this workshop can take the NIT system one step forward.

Dr. K. Veerajaneyulu, Organizing Secretary proposed the vote of thanks. During the next two days, 7 sessions will be organized on administration. 60 delegates are participating in the two-day workshop. Deputy Registrars, Assistant Registrars, and officers of the Institute coordinated the program. Deans, Heads of the Department, Officers and staff participated in the event.
