It gives an immense pleasure in bringing out this issue of our Departmental Newsletter for the EVEN semester 2015-16 under the able guidance of Hon. Princi-

pal Dr. C Prabhakar Reddy and the Head of Mechanical Engineering Dr. Shrishail

Kakkeri. The editorial board has made sincere attempt to fetch the information re-

garding the department Activities, Results, Placements, Sports & Cultural activities,

faculty & student publications for publishing in this newsletter. We express our sin-

cere gratitude to the Management of SVCE for the support extended. The board is

extremely happy for the contribution extended by all the faculty members, Technical

Staff and students of the department.

It gives me an immense pleasure to introduce the Volume 4, Issue 2 of the Newsletter of the year 2015-2016

ter carries the contributions reflecting ethos and aspirations

of the students, faculty and other team members of the de-

partment. It brings to the light the names of the unsung he-

roes and their mighty deeds.

I wish the maiden attempt all success. Let there be

more contribution in future. I am sure it can make a reader

travel down the lanes of memory, giving rise to a surge of

emotions of many hues and colours.
