BITES
I visited JSS Academy Bangalore on Friday 4th and met HOD CSE, Prof Kamalesh. We discussed lot about academics and benefits from Sun. He also has lot of ideas in order to promote Sun technologies. Anil Gulecha who is our campus ambassador from JSS took us to Sun Lab who has setup the same in order to provide the facility to work on sun technologies. We did a round tour of JSS and in the course of that Kamalesh told me about the workshop. JSS and BITES(Board for IT Educatio Standards) jointly organized a workshop on "Funding opportunities for sponsored research" which was scheduled on 5th May and invited me to attend the same.
I went to JSS again on 5th May to attend the inaguaral function of workshop at 9AM.
This workshop was about how funding can be provided for academic research. Eight government organizations were participated and representatives from more than forty engineering institutions were participated. There was a press coverage on this. Dooradarshan and TV9 folks were also present.
In this opportunity I met lot of dignitaries from various sectors.

Dr. R Natarajan, former chairman AICTE and chairman - BITES
Dr K V Prahlad Rao, Director - BITES

I discussed about Sun academic initiative(SAI), STAR(Sun Technology and Academic resources) for education and research and also about university engagements. They all are excited about such initiatives from Sun. Soon I'll be talking to all these dignitaries in their respective offices for further engagements.
