  • College Profile
    TRAINING AND PLACEMENT OFFICE UNIVERSITY VISVESVARAYA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING (UVCE) (Est.: 1917) BANGALORE UNIVERSITY, K.R.CIRCLE, BENGALURU - 560 001 Greetings from UVCE!! We are privileged to inform that UVCE has celebrated 100 successful years and counting. We are happy to invite your esteemed organization to visit our campus for recruitment to hire best of the talents for the academic year 2020-21. We await a positive response from your end and will be happy to answer any queries. A brief information about our institution is given below. HISTORY In 1917, the then Diwan of Mysore Sir M. Visvesvaraya felt a need to have an engineering college in the state, as the Civil Engineering College at Madras and College of Engineering at Poona were unable to accommodate enough students from the then Mysore State. He started the college in 1917 in Bangalore under the University of Mysore. It was started as the School of Engineering with 20 students each in Civil and Mechanical Engineering branches. It was the fifth engineering college to be started in India and the first one in Mysore State. In 1965, the name of the college was changed to University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering after its founder. It is currently the only constituent college of Bangalore University. The name UVCE is very popular in the field of technical education in Karnataka. In its existence of 103 years, the college has a history of great reputation and countless number of alumni. It has produced many eminent engineers, who have occupied coveted positions in industries, research labs and various prestigious institutions in India and abroad.

Through this exhibition, we supported the Year of Water initiative as observed by the Government of Karnataka. It also featured H2O Today, a popular traveling exhibition by the Smithsonian Institution. We encouraged visitors to explore the collective experiences of water and refIect on future challenges through a range of dynamic exhibits and workshops. We presented 15 exhibits spread across three floors of Bangalore International Centre, which examined the role of water in our lives, beyond the value that we derive from it. These exhibits were brought to life through 45 connected programmes such as workshops, lectures, master classes, film screenings and musical performances. Participants engaged with the latest research and thinking on water, and examined its cultural significance, by interacting with scholars and artists from around the world. We also provoked them to begin a dialogue on water as an urgent concern for the city of Bengaluru, and global challenge of the Anthropocene. Ice Painting by Dorota Borowa.

It is an autonomous institute fully funded by the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. Till October 10, 2000 the Institute was known as Mehta Research Institute of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics (MRI) after which it was renamed as Harish-Chandra Research Institute (HRI) after the internationally acclaimed mathematician, late Prof Harish-Chandra. The Institute started with efforts of Dr. B. N. Prasad, a mathematician at the University of Allahabad with initial support from the B. S. Mehta Trust, Kolkata. Dr. Prasad was succeeded in January 1966 by Dr. S. R. Sinha, also of Allahabad University. He was followed by Prof. P. L. Bhatnagar as the first formal Director. After an interim period in January 1983, Prof. S. S. Shrikhande joined as the next Director of the Institute. During his tenure the dialogue with the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) entered into decisive stage and a review committee was constituted by the DAE to examine the Institutes fu- ture. In 1985 N. D. Tiwari, the then Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, agreed to provide sufficient land for the Institute and the DAE promised financial sup- port for meeting both the recurring and non-recurring expenditure.

  • Newsletter February 2019
    EDITORIAL As we sail into the 8th year of our young institute, this newsletter aims to provide a common platform to bring together all the events associated with TIFRH, scientific and otherwise. In this inaugural issue, we bring to you an array of articles along with some creative titbits. We start off the issue with the cover story tracing the marvellous journey of TIFR Hyderabad, right from its conception to the point we stand today, a full-fledged institute bustling with research activities. We feature an article by Prof. Hari Dass, which will make you ponder about the no- cloning theorem in quantum mechanics and its implications, and Shubhadeep Pal, who gives an insight into the importance of reducing carbon emissions. We also feature an exclusive interview with the NMR bigwig, Prof. Shimon Vega, who talks about his foray into NMR, the long-standing relationship with his student, Prof. P.K Madhu, and dealing with hiccups in science. TIFR has a long history of outreach programs and other activities encouraging science education at the roots. At TIFR Hyderabad, we intend to continue this paradigm and to this end, Debashree Sengupta talks more about the active initiatives being taken in this direction. Moreover, amidst a variety of interdisciplinary research at TIFRH, we have highlighted a few in the ‘InFocus’ section of this issue. Lastly, in the non-science end of this issue, we present to you some comic relief, a poem about life and friendship in a research institute, and a photo gallery sporting a few talented shutterbugs at TIFR Hyderabad.
