The Amravathi Drone Summit 2024 emerged as a landmark event, uniting industry leaders, trailblazers, and visionaries committed to revolutionising the future of drone technology. This varsity proudly showcased its expertise as the esteemed technology partner for this high-profile summit. The summit was charged with excitement as participants explored an array of drones through impressive exhibitions, engaging hackathons, and thought-provoking panel discussions.

The Hackathon tested the skills and creativity of the brightest minds. Our very own team of second-year Civil Engineering students made waves by clinching the runner-up prize. The winning trio, Ms Nithya, Ms Sumaya, and Mr Hitesh, received a cash prize of ₹50,000. This achievement not only reflected their hard work and dedication but also showcased the exceptional talent nurtured at the university. Under the guidance of faculty members Dr Harish Puppala and Dr Pranav Peddintti, Assistant Professors in the Department of Civil Engineering, these students are poised to become future leaders in drone technology.

The summit also featured notable panel discussions that provided deeper insights into the evolving landscape of drone technology. Among the distinguished speakers was Vice Chancellor Prof. Manoj K. Arora, who served as a prominent panellist in the discussions. He was joined by other faculty members, including Dr Raviteja, Head of the Department of Civil Engineering, Dr Pranav Peddinti, and Dr Harish Puppala, Coordinators of the Centre for Drone Technology and the Centre for Geospatial Technology, respectively, who contributed their expertise on the latest developments in the industry.

With the remarkable performances of our students and the strategic discussions by our faculty, the Amravathi Drone Summit 2024 marks a bold step forward for drone technology.

SRM University-AP is thrilled to announce that its talented CINEMATES team has secured the 2nd prize at the national level in the Documentary Competition on Disaster Management. This prestigious event was organised by the National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM) under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, in celebration of the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction 2024.

The competition centred on the theme “Empowering the Next Generation for a Resilient Future,” encouraging participants to explore innovative approaches to disaster management through their creative works. The CINEMATES team’s entry, a short film titled “After Shock,” stands out for its poignant narrative and compelling visuals that underscore the critical importance of disaster management education.

Written and directed by the brilliant student Shanmuka Shiva Durgesh Durvasula, “After Shock” delves into the harrowing experience of an earthquake through the contrasting perspectives of two individuals. The film masterfully portrays their survival instincts, shedding light on the emotional and psychological impact of such disasters. Noteworthy contributions in editing were made by Shaik Thaheer, Durgesh, and stunning cinematography by Siva Avula, all of which elevate the film’s powerful message.

In addition to the recognition, the team was awarded a cash prize of ₹1,50,000, a testament to their hard work and dedication. This achievement not only highlights the creative talents of SRM University-AP’s students but also reinforces the institution’s commitment to fostering a culture of awareness and resilience in disaster management.

As the university celebrates this remarkable accomplishment, it encourages all students to continue their journey toward making a meaningful difference in society through innovative thinking and responsible filmmaking.

The Department of Literature & Languages hosted a guest lecture for students enrolled in the open elective course “Decoding Language,” which is based on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). The lecture took place on October 14 and 15, 2024 and featured Dr Debdarsan Niyogi, an authority in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Generative AI.

Dr Niyogi’s lecture, titled “Mind & Machine: How Language is Processed,” focused on the intersection of human cognition and artificial intelligence in language processing. He provided in-depth insights into how natural language processing (NLP) algorithms enable machines to interpret and generate human language. The sessions bridged the gap between human linguistic abilities and machine learning models.

Students gained valuable knowledge about the parallels between human and machine language processing. They learned about the complexities of NLP and its real-world applications in AI, data science, and machine learning. This understanding will not only enhance their grasp of neuro-linguistic programming but also prepare them for future endeavours in the growing field of AI-driven language technologies.
