Shaatra 2005- An Engineer's Paradise

"As the Indian Institute of Technology Madras revs up to put the finishing touches on one of the most popular technical festivals in the country – Shaastra; technology students from around the country will be gearing up to experience the superior vistas that Shaastra proffers. This year this technological juggernaut will roll into Chennai on 5-9th October 2005. "

Shaastra has the distinction of being the only student organized event in the world to be ISO 9001 certified for its quality management programme, hence all participants can be assured of impeccable organization and meticulousness in events and hospitality. Ultimately, Shaastra is a great place to meet a variegated mix of students from all over the country. It boasts the highest number of outstation participants for any festival in India!

Shaastra is probably the only place in India where engineering in its full glory is exhibited in an intellectual carnival peopled with visionaries, scientists and inventors. Video conferencing with Nobel Laureates and eminent international technologists, in-person lectures by brilliant leaders of business, technology and industry, live demonstrations of cutting-edge products by leading companies – anyone looking for a reason to be proud of being an engineer, look no further. The inspiration and imagination that such contacts stimulate are the provenances of innovation and creation.

Shaastra boasts attendance by some of the brightest minds both in terms of students who participate as well as the guests who deliver lectures. The lectures and demonstrations at Shaastra promise a meeting with the Who’s Who India’s scientific and technological community. The public relations team at Shaastra would be happy to accommodate requests from the press for interviews and meetings with the keynote speakers.

Shaastra 2005 promises to open whole new vistas for all visitors. The variety of ideas, issues and events that Shaastra offers is unparalleled. There is much that Shaastra has to offer in terms of reportage content and broadcast coverage. The public relations team looks forward to accommodating the needs of the press and general public at IIT Madras’ celebration of technology – Shaastra!
