“Engineers must take technologies to villages”

DINDIGUL: Young engineers must take technologies to rural areas for development of villages as it was essential for the overall development of the nation. Engineers and technocrats could take the country to a higher level, said M. Rama Subba Reddy, Professor, Department of Bio Medical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai.

He was addressing a national conference on Electronics, Systemics, Informatics and Cybernetics at P.S.N.A. College of Engineering and Technology here on Saturday. Engineers must solve problems of local people. Institutional-action through mutual understanding would be an added advantage for socio-economic development of rural areas.
