IN APPRECIATION
Of late it has been the clarion call of educationists and industrialists
that engineering education must sped beyond the academic bounds
prescribed by the AICTE and attention must be diverted by the
students in acquiring skill to make their academic career relevant to
meet the present-day needs of all-round industrial development.
Manipal Academy of Higher Education has already taken steps to
enshrine skill development in its graduating students and it is
heartening that its interdisciplinary student team of MARS ROVER
MANIPAL from Manipal Institute of Technology has made a mark in
finding robotic solutions in exploring Mars and has achieved
distinguished positions in the rover challenges continuously from
2016.
Manipal academy of higher education is too happy to be a sponsor of
this programed by the MIT student team and give them all the
encouragement and support needed. I request philanthropic
organizations to extend their support and encouragement to these
dynamic and innovative students.
