Institution Building
|
Introduced a new initiative titled “Brown Bag Seminar Series (BBSS)”, the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Warangal, India as a part of its Civil Engineering Association’s activities. It is a platform for the faculty, research staff and the students to present their research work and seek valuable feedback from fellow members. In the absence of such a platform for the past 50 years, it was a great success at NIT Warangal.
|
As a Departmental Seminar Coordinator I had introduced a new methodology of conducting and evaluating “Seminar” class at National Institute of Technology (NIT), Warangal, India and it has received an outstanding rating from all students at NIT Warangal, India
