Pragyan, the techno-management fest of National Institute of Technology-Tiruchi, can be promoted as a company, said its Director S.Sundarrajan.
Delivering the valedictory address of Pragyan-2015 at NIT-T here on Sunday, he said the annual event had become a huge success with the participation of domestic and international students. It had proved that student community could make a lot of difference if they were given roles and responsibilities. The exhibitions and stalls set up by the students stood testimony to their innovation, and showcased their ability to conduct major events.
Emphasising on innovation and novel ideas, Mr.Sundarrajan said the Pragyan model could be promoted as a company by involving various stakeholders. The reach of the festival could be extended further. “I would take up the business model of Pragyan to the alumni of the NIT-T living in the United States and the United Kingdom when I would meet them in the next two weeks,” he said.
