Innovation in Science & Technology: Exploring the Creative Space

 The seminar was held on 26.02.2016 in association with the National Science Day.  It was supported by the Kerala State Council for Science Technology and Environment and DST, Govt. of India.

This is the first time we celebrated the National Science Day in our college.  In India, we celebrate the National Science Day on every February 28 to mark the discovery of the Raman Effect by Dr. C. V Raman. 

This year February 28 is a holiday and so we organized the seminar a bit earlier. Also, this is the 20^th year of our college.  As a part of the Vicennial Celebrations we are planning a series of events. This seminar was the first in that series.

Usually in our college, we conduct seminars on a specific subject.  But this seminar had a general theme so that students and staff belong to different disciplines were able to attend the seminar. 
           

Dr.Geethamma V.G., the co-ordinator of the seminar, welcomed the gathering.  We had two eminent speakers; Dr. Jeevan Job Thomas and Dr. Deepa P. Gopinath. Both of them delivered interesting talks on the importance of having an innovative mind for excelling any field; whether it is science, technology, literature, arts, sports, etc. Dr. Jeevan is a very popular Science Journalist who writes frequently in various periodicals.  He has published many books.  Dr. Deepa is an activist and is a dedicated teacher in the Department of Electronics and Communication, College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram.
