SHRISTI'09: carrying the tradition forward

Shristi'O9 promises to carry forward and enhance this tradition of innovation. The three keywords creation, innovation, and erudition aptly describe its true essence. But the real spirit of SHRISTI is embodied by its nurturers. The faculty coordinators, student in charges and student volunteers have given their best, both in ideas and in actions. Then there are the participants who listen to the call of their hearts and minds to take the opportunity to compete and learn. Shristi'09 has for the consecutively second time involved the participation of MBA students resulting in its metamorphosis into a techno-management fest from being a technical fest. This year we also aim to enhance the role of NERIST in being the centre of science and technology for this region and shoulder this important social responsibility in an unprecedented way. Participation of school students and special showcases for them in the form of engineering stalls is a step in this direction. We are also very proud and honored to have eminent academician like Professor Gautam Barua, Director, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, Dr. K.C. Velliayapa Vice Chancellor Rajiv Gandhi University as the Chief Guests for the inaugural ceremonies. We are also thankful to the Hon'ble Director of Higher and Technical Education, Arunachal Pradesh who had been the Guest of Honor. Other eminent personalities have been with us are Mr.Pradipta Rana Baruah, Regional Manager, UTI Mutual Fund as the judge of events, Professor Raghukanth S.T.G of the department of Civil Engineering, IIT Guwahati.
