NEWSLETTER

It is a matter of great pleasure to know that the first

issue of the Institute Newsletter is ready. The

Newsletter will serve as an interface between the

Institute and outside world. It provides information

about the academic activities organized in the

Institute. Information about co-curricular activities

The Institute was established in the year 1957 by

His Highness Late Sir Jiwaji Rao Scindia,

Maharaja, Erstwhile State of Gwalior with the

prime objective of providing technical education

at under graduate and post graduate levels. Since

the inception, the Institute constantly strived for

excellence and quality. Today the Institute is an

autonomous grant-in-aid institution of Government

of Madhya Pradesh, enjoys a track record of

extremely good results.

I am happy to note that various initiatives are taken by the faculty todisseminate knowledge by organizing conferences, training programs and

workshops. Expert lectures are also organized by various departments time

to time to keep abreast with the latest developments in the field of science

and technology.

The Institute has done good job in the past and able to produce quality

Engineers and Technocrats capable of providing leadership in all spheres of

life and society. Needless to say our commitment to further enrich the

quality of education will be our constant endeavour. The demand across the

country for a vibrant technical human resource has made us committed for

the same. It is for all of us to do hard work to make the Institute knownglobally.

Best wishes for everyone for forthcoming festive season.
