auditorium on 27th April 2015. Dr.Jeppiaar, Chancellor of Sathyabama
University delivered the Inaugural address. He said that the institution
would start a free IAS coaching academy for their students to turn them
into bureaucrats. “We will train students in civil service exams from

ISRO Chairman A S Kiran
Kumar, who was the chief guest awarded the Honarary Doctractes to Cine
Actor Vivek and Managing Director of Sakthi Masala Private Limited, P C
Duraisamy and delivered the Convocation Address.
In his
convocation address, he spoke about the necessity of crowd sourcing.
"Today a lot of softwares are developed abroad and purchased by
institutions at a high cost. So, we are trying to bring in a process
where academic institutions start working on such software technologies
themselves," he said.
Recently, ISRO brought out structural
analysis software called FEAST (Finite Element Analysis of Structures).
The ISRO chairman said that institutions are allowed free download of
the software and they are being asked to bring in case studies which can
be incorporated in the software. "There is a host of technologies in
which we are trying to envisage use of academic institutions and
students pursuing M Tech programs to participate in such activities," he
said.
The chairman also spoke about 7 projects and launches
planned under the ISRO until March 2016. This includes the launch of
PSLV in June this year which will carry three disaster monitoring
constellation satellites and the launch of GSAT 15 in October.
"The
Director General of Civil Aviation had recently announced services of
APV (Approach procedure with vertical guidance) for precision approach
for vertical landing. This will make sure that India is the 3rd country
to avail such services, enabling the aircrafts to come close to the
landing point," he said.
He also said adapting to changing
technologies would be useful for the current crop of engineers to shine
in their respective fields and presented certificates to research
scholars and degree holders.
Speaking on the occasion, Vivek
said that he felt privileged to be a recipient of the honorary doctorate
degree. It is like an encouragement that makes me want to contribute to
society more, Vivekh, who was conferred with the Padma Shri by the
Government of India for his contribution to the field of arts in 2009,
said. Taking a leaf out of Swami Vivekananda’s teachings on education,
Vivekh told the students that it was important to follow what was learnt
instead of just cramming for the sake of passing in exams.
He
also praised Jeppiaar, the founder and chancellor of the University,
and said that discipline was one of the core principles espoused by him.
“Jeppiaar
sir has been doing a great work as he, through the institution has
guided thousands of students,” he said.He further stated that
recognitions like these made him feel he was not a Tamilian or a South
Indian but rather an Indian first.
