Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Limited Chairman & Managing Director Prabhat Kumar was presented ‘Vignan Sanketika Puraskar’ by Vignan Group of Institutions Chairman L. Rathaiah in a programme held at the university on the eve of Engineer’s Day.

On the occasion, Mr. Prabhat Kumar said a successful engineer is one who does not disturb the balance of nature and finds solutions to various problems faced by society in a harmonious way.

Students of engineering have a role model in Sir Mokshagundam Visveswaraiah who was one of the great engineers India had produced since times immemorial.

India is full of architecture marvels such as the Taj Mahal, famous temples of South India, dams and many such imposing structures. Mr. Rathaiah said budding engineers should imbibe the qualities of Sir Visveswaraiah and apply technologies to solving local problems. Vice-Chancellor M.S.C. Bose, Registrar A. Leela Mohan Rao, Director of Engineering & Technology V. Madhusudan Rao and Vignan’s Lara Institute of Technology & Science Principal S. Rukmini participated.
