The workshop was formally inaugurated by Prof. Sehgal and he spoke about the developing software technologies like ANSYS and congratulated the Electrical Engineering Department for organizing such events.
“We have should not use any software as a black box and should know what is happening inside, how they are selecting tools and other things,” he said.
In his message, Registrar NIT, Prof. Kaiser Bukhari also appreciated the organizers for conducting a workshop on a relevant theme. He said these sessions are the need of the hour and will explore more in-depth knowledge to the participants.
Dr. Anima Johari, Scientist-D in Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), Department of Science and Technology (DST), New Delhi was the Guest of Honour on the occasion. She briefed the audience about SERB and how it would be willing to fund many more such events which benefit the masses.
HOD, Electrical Engineering NIT Srinagar, Dr. Mohammad Abid Bazaz expressed his gratitude to Dr. Anima Johari Scientist D for accepting to be the chief guest of the inaugural day function. He also thanked all the speakers, participants for agreeing to be part of this fruitful workshop of high research and academic, industrial interest.
“I would like to express my gratefulness to DST (SERB) for sponsoring this workshop and NIT Srinagar administration for encouraging us to conduct these workshops,” he said.
Dr. Bazaz also shared his thoughts with the participants. He spoke about the benefits of ANSYS and associated software.
Earlier, the inaugural ceremony began with the workshop coordinator, Dr. Obbu Chandrasekhar welcoming the guests and briefing them about the workshop.
