He touched upon the grand Science and Technology challenges facing the nation and the world at large and talked about the importance of the thematic areas of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Smart Grid, Next-Gen Grid, Micro & Additive Manufacturing, IOT and 5G Communication for serving the needs of the modern society. He then gave a brief overview of the research activities taking place in IIT Bhubaneswar in these areas. He advised the young engineers to come up with energy efficient systems, which will help in reducing the carbon footprint and pave the way for environment restoration and energy saving. He also informed the audience about the initiative of IIT Bhubaneswar in accurately estimating the pressure and wind-speed in collaboration with IMD before the arrival of the extremely severe cyclone, \u201cFANI\u201d. He also thanked INAE for choosing IIT Bhubaneswar as the host of the 13thNatFoE Symposium. He complimented the Institute for hosting the event despite significant damage to the infrastructure caused by the cyclone, \u201cFANI\u201d.<\/p>\n
In the Inaugural Session, Dr. Sanak Mishra, President, INAE delivered an interesting Address with emphasis on Research & Development and the role of INAE in nation building; which was very well received by the audience. He appreciated the choice of the themes, as they were in line with NITI Aayog\u2019s current projection of areas of national interest.
