Hon’ble Governor, Dr. K.K Paul addressed the gathering
on Foundation Day said that it is heartening to know that
the Uttarakhand Technical University is celebrating its
Foundation day today. India is witnessing the age of
science and technology. There is a huge demand for
technical education in modern age. Technical Education
imparts knowledge of specific trade, craft or profession.
This role of education institutions found it necessary to
redefine the end of education, which was to be in the main
stream of economic development and to ensure a place for
India in the community of prosperous nations. It was not
just an end, it was the dream of modern India, and
technical education was given the due importance with a
view to realizing that dream.
Most of the challenges faced today by our nation and our
hilly state can be resolved through research in Engineering
and Technology. I personally believe that technologist
should come forward with new ideas to resolve the issues
like, Disaster Management, Water Resource Management,
Tourism, Use of Solar Energy, Improvement in
Transportation and Development of Earthquake resistant
infrastructure.
I congratulate all the former Vice Chancellors (Prof V K
Tewari, Prof D S Chauhan and Prof V K Jain) for their
contributions they have made for the betterment of
technical education in the Uttarakhand State. I am sure
that they will continue further to help the University to
grow and achieve due recognition. I also like to
congratulate all the employee to provide their best services
to the University and students of UTU who have been
recognized by the University for their excellent
performance in education and sports. I also appreciate the
efforts made by the composer of Kulgeet (Dr Y N Sharma)
of the University.
I wish all the best.

YOU CAN INVENT!’ – A Talk by Praveen Vettiyattil
(President, Sharda Solutions)
Praveen Vettiyattil, President, Sharada solutions,
Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, delivered series of talks from
February 17th to 19th in the institute Seminar Hall. Praveen
Vettiyattil is on a mission to create a million inventors in
India by 2020.It's a talk that convinces that we are all born
violent inventors and will help reclaim the inventor in us.
“One should render the present so as to get a clearer and
better future, with the inculcation of ideas and solutions of
the problems around”, and as this is mentioned, he began
with the lecture.
“The world can change only through two things – War
and Invention”
The subtopics are mentioned below:
1. You can invent
2. Speed of learning - baby versus research industry
3. Pedal Powered centrifugal pump
4. Pedal powered water lifting machine
5. Why innovate in engineering versus other domains
6. How inventions prevent recessions and wars.
7. From a poverty powered world to an invention
powered world
8. Major Indian Inventions
He started the lecture with the introduction of problem
with the system – the way India works, and the question
that why Indians living in the U.S. accounts to more than
20% of the international papers filed in the U.S.A. and on
the other hand the dilapidated state of innovators in India?
The question that he aptly pointed out is quite very well
justified with the present outlook of the nation in terms of
the number of inventions, patents filed, and the average
research grant per patent. Though, however, there isn’t any
particular solution for this question, but the inculcation of
the creative approach in the children, and change in the
perspective of observing the children’s academic
performance would at-least make sure that the cravings for
the innovation wouldn’t die out. In his words, “We always
say, ‘As creative as a child, and not, as creative as a
group of Thermonuclear research scientists.’”
The speaker in the next part talked about the ideas, and
their origin. He put forth a 3-step approach towards stating
to think of inventing, which talks about leading a normal
life, and be receptive to and observant of problems, then
looking up on whether anyone has tried to solve the
problem. If not, just going ahead and solving it! One need
not have a creative mind to think about the different issues
that one faces, or might be facing, in the present and how
they would resolve them to ensure a better and prospective
future. For doing that, one has to have a vision and a
curious approach towards the essentialities of the life and
the things around.
As the speaker moved towards the conclusion, he tried to
emphasize the power of innovation and himself being a
mechanical engineer, urged everyone to be proud of their
UTTARAKHAND TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY e-NEWSLETTER An Official e-Newsletter of Uttarakhand Technical University, Dehradun
February-2016(Foundation Day Special) EDITION Page 9
field of study and being an engineer. For everything other
than engineering could be established any day, but if
engineering and crave for the innovation is lost, nothing
could be established, very well, to the present state. And
with the message coming “Crave and Crave more for
curiosity, and never let die the urge to question, for these
are the essentials for a thinker and an inventor”, the
lecture was concluded.
