 Good morning all of you and welcome to IIT Bombay. I am very happy to see a whole lot of scholars here to help us kick off this important program for the coordinators. I will later on speak more about the program. I am Deepak Fatak. I am a teacher here for last 40 years and I am also the coordinator for this mission for engaging large number of teachers across the country and empowering them with your help of course. Without further ado, let me welcome the dignitaries who are here while I introduce them. Professor Vedula, head of the mechanical engineering department. Thank you sir. Professor Kannan Mawgalya, who is the coordinator of all MHRD projects that are conducted in IIT Bombay. Thank you. Professor Uday Gayathunde, the chief guest of today's function and a close friend for almost four decades. Professor Atul Sharma, who is one of the lead faculties coordinating this workshop and Professor Balchan Puranay. Thank you. I will have ample opportunity to interact with you because I will be talking to you on the validity function. So as of today, I will only kick start this process very quickly because from 10 o'clock onwards we have the first session starting. I would request first Professor Kannan to tell you about the national mission projects on education through ICT that MHRD has embarked on. And then I will request Professor Gayathunde to give his brief keynote. Good morning to all the experts who have come from all over the country. This is a collaborative effort. In fact, Professor Patek's vision is to set up a huge learning portal in which all of you will come and contribute and that resource will be useful to the entire country if not the entire world. This is part of an ambitious project mission by national mission on MHRD, National Mission on Education through ICT. It has three components. One is providing bandwidth as a part of this mission. The government is giving bandwidth to universities at almost one person of the cost. Every university is given one GBPS bandwidth and a lot of it is available to affiliating colleges also. I think it is something like 10 Mbps per college and a lot more bandwidth is available depending on the use because we have a lot of terrestrial connection available, connections available, bandwidth available. A lot of fiber is going under need so the government can indeed make this bandwidth available to you to all the universities. The second one is the content generation. First one is bandwidth. Second one is content generation. Third one is connectivity. So you have heard about Akash. So that is a great initiative and a lot of excitement getting things are going to happen in that. But this project, this course is funded by the third component namely content generation. Given that bandwidth is available, given that connectivity is available, what do people see? So given that a very large number of students want to pursue engineering. For example, Professor Fartlack was just telling in the morning just now five minutes ago that there are 2 million students, 20 lakh students pursuing engineering and another 10 lakh students pursuing diploma engineering. So very large appetite amongst the students and how do we cater to this? How do we meet their requirements given that there is a shortage of good faculty members? How to empower each one of you so that we can actually cater to very large number of students without affecting the quality of the education imparted to them. So the content generation is the one that addresses this issue and of course you will know more about this 1000 teacher training program, empowerment program from Professor Fartlack and of course as the course goes on. Of course this 1000 teacher, the name itself is a misnomer now because we are possibly looking at 2000 teachers in this program, 2500, Fartlack always says ahead. So and of course a 10000 teacher empowerment program in research methodologies is in the offering, it may happen in the summer and of course hopefully we plan to at this point only IIT Bombay professors are participating in this delivering these courses but the research methodologies course will have a professor from IIT Madras participating and then hopefully we will extend this to good faculty members in all reputed institutions in the country. Coming to the contents component, the courses that are the projects that are undertaken at IIT Bombay, if I start explaining that will take a lot of time. So I will refrain from doing that, I will only point out things that are possibly relevant to this gathering one is robotics program that is a project run by professor Kavi Arya in the department of computer science, maybe we will ask him to come and talk to you a little later. So, our software is an important component that is being worked upon at IIT Bombay, professor Athur Sharma told me that Sylab is going to be introduced to you and Sylab is an amazing software, we have a lot of support activities for that. If somebody says that Sylab crashes, it is buggy and so on do not believe them, CNES which is equivalent of ISRO in France is using Sylab extensively to launch all the Arian rockets and you know that Arian rockets place many of our satellites in orbit. So, it is an amazing software, it also uses LAPAC just like other commercial software packages do, it also has an has an attractive graphic user interface called XCOS where you can flick, connect, drop and then simulate and then the simulation engine is LAPAC, it even uses Darcel, it uses ODE PAC and so on. These are some of the most outstanding industry proven numerical packages and Sylab also uses that, professor Athur Sharma will talk about it. Another very useful software package is OpenForm, we have started little bit of work, hopefully it will be ready by the time the main session starts, it may not be introduced although we might show you glimpses of that, this is extremely important when you want to have your own software packages when your student wants to become an entrepreneur. Some of the commercial packages may become extremely expensive for entrepreneurs especially first time you know a small start up with who may work on venture funds and so on. So, OpenForm is another exciting open source software and extremely important for computational fluid dynamics. We are using Sylab for data acquisition and in case anybody is interested in controls and that kind of stuff, Sylab combined with comedy, excursion, hot, so these are some of the open source and GNU radio, these are all open source software packages. Fortunately unlike in the commercial area where people compete with each other in when you work with open source software packages they can communicate with each other, you can actually say that this is an attractive component in this, let us start working on this and so on. So, there are lots of work happening in the content generation area and I would encourage you to go around and meet the people who might be working in this area, in the areas of your interest. Animation is one area where my colleague Professor Sridharayir is working on, Python is an area where Professor Prabhu Ramachandran is working and then design courses Professor Ravi Puvaya of IDC is working on. So, I can only just mention that so that I do not take too much more time. Another very interesting project is Spurcon tutorials where we try to bring in support for all the open source software packages through self learning videos, we are also conducting workshops. In fact, we are doing something like 200 workshops a month to college students from all disciplines and these workshops are organized absolutely free of cost and based on a post workshop test we also offer a certificate for all people who pass these tests. In fact, I would ask our events team to set up a small stall in front so that during coffee break or something you can actually talk to them. So, with these words I will end this. So, I have given a glimpse of some of the activities M.H.R.D funded project activities happening at IIT Bombay and you will know more about this as you stay here for me. So, I wish you all the best may this event be a great success. Thank you. Thank you, Prasad Kander. Let me very briefly introduce Prasad Gayathondey and indeed the entire team from Mechanical Engineering. They have played a very special role in our engaging thousands of teachers programs. First of all about Prasad Gayathondey he is an expert I would say he is an expert period because I cannot enumerate the number of fields in which he is an expert. But he is also a believer that the faculty teaching engineering programs across the country have to upgrade themselves in order to achieve world class quality which like me he believes that it is entirely feasible. He has been so supportive he took the first course. Let me just tell you that this program was originally meant to handle only the core courses in engineering. So, he started with a programming course which then had a basic electronics course and we wanted a basic course in Mechanical Engineering which Prasad Gayathondey agreed to take course on thermodynamics if I am not mistaken. But it was his enthusiasm which led to many of his colleagues subsequently offering more and more courses from Mechanical Engineering. Today out of the nine workshops that we have conducted three have been conducted by the Mechanical Engineering Department faculty and in terms of the number of faculty members participating in these programs Mechanical Engineering Department steals the show they stand at the highest. So, my personal thanks and the reason I wanted Prasad Vedula our head of Mechanical Engineering Department to be present here is to mention this fact very proudly that you will all agree you all work in your own institutional administrative framework without the active support of the head such things would not be feasible. So, not only he but entire issued administration has been behind our efforts and I am in fact thankful to them. So, let me request Prasad Gayathondey to share his thoughts. I should really say welcome back to many of you because many faces are familiar. I am sure one or two were there for thermodynamics of fluid mechanics sorry heat transfer which were the two courses we conducted earlier and may be many others I have met somewhere in some engineering college some course some QIP program so far. As professor Fatuk said for some reason about a year and three months ago I think it was November or December of 2010 he came up with a course idea of something called introduction to mechanical engineering and he said I would do it provided it is thermodynamics and I gave him some low range dope of what I do not like about introduction to mechanical engineering. And from there it started and for some reason we had a reasonably successful program in thermodynamics co-ordinators workshop in February last year and I think the main workshop in June last year and this was good because if you want good engineers in the country we should have good engineering education and if you look at the requirement for goodness you need good colleges which means good facilities good faculty and good students out of which good facilities can be provided provided you have the resources essentially financial resources and the will to do things good faculty and good students we do not know which comes first but we know that in colleges where there is good faculty assuming that a basic minimal good set of resources and facilities are available given that colleges which have good faculty will end up with good students and the moment you end up with good students you know better and better faculty will be attracted to that college. So this is some sort of a you know a nice feedback mechanism now students come from the HSC JECET route there are so many of them that we highly do anything from the our IIT scheme point of view. However when it comes to faculty we do help the faculty members improve their lot we have had the teacher training programs we have the QIP scheme going for decades but the scale was small think we have had short term courses for QIP may be 30 may be 50 at a time what the Eklavya project of professor Fatak has done it scaled it up by one or two orders of magnitude we have had in thermodynamics something like 800 but in electronics and photovoltaics I was told it was something like 1500 and in a two day short program it was of the order of 3000 that paper writing skills. So this is something which has changed the scene and I have seen the effect of this because I visited an engineering college over the weekend and it turned out that the faculty member who did not attend any of these courses has used the resources created through these courses downloaded the videos studied them and the student behavior is such that it was clear to me that the faculty member has improved his teaching ability because of these courses this is a very indirect benefit but I am happy that such indirect benefits do always exist do also exist. Now coming to my department I should say I am more than pleased that my department has been a very significant contributor to this. If accidentally I have helped by being the first guinea pig for professor Fatak's non-computer science or computer science electronic stuff well I am more than pleased and I am more than pleased that my faculty that is the faculty of my department has supported this wholeheartedly. We now have if you look at the thermal fluids engineering or the power related part of mechanical engineering we have three basic courses thermodynamics fluid mechanics and heat transfer and in some order we have or we are conducting these Eklavya courses under the national mission for education for these and I am also happy that the young faculty is taking interest in this. I may be one of the old goats in mechanical engineering but our department is not that old of the 40 odd faculty members more than half have joined the department in the last 10 calendar years. The new Bharti if you call it started I think September or October I remember the first person joining in 2002 and after that something like 24, 23 or 24 new faculty members have joined the department. So our department that way is new faculty heavy and after me everyone who has participated in it are the faculty members who have joined on or after 2002 and I am sure we are not going to stop with this because I know there is interest and I see at least one faculty member sitting at the back who I hope will sign up for some non fluid mechanics in the time to come. Finally let me say something about this course. So thermodynamics was an absolutely basic course, more about principles than practice, more about understanding and solving absolute basic problems. Heat transfer is application. If you look at thermodynamics that Q equals delta E plus W, heat transfer is all about how to manage that Q. No new basic fundamental laws are needed only empirical laws like Fourier's law of conduction and some additional physics laws like laws of radiation are needed. Of course heat transfer requires fluid mechanics and somehow we have taken a slightly different route where we taught heat transfer first and fluid mechanics is being taught now. And that does not matter but fluid mechanics the course which will be exposed to you in the next few days and then again to maybe how many 2500 faculty members. You have an advantage in fluid mechanics because it is not restricted to mechanical and you have mainstream fluid mechanics faculty in civil engineering, chemical engineering, aerospace engineering and so on. So I suppose the reaching 2500 would not be a very difficult thing at all and that is clear because in thermodynamics and heat transfer we had 31 or 34 centers and now we notice that there are 50 centers which became suddenly 51 without any notice yesterday evening and I would not be surprised that by the time we finish this session and finish our 30, 51 becomes 52 or 53. Fluid mechanics has a beauty of its own. If you look at it fluid mechanics does not have any basic fundamental laws of its own. The laws of conservation of energy, conservation of momentum which we have studied in either mechanics or thermodynamics. But the material which we use fluid and its properties that creates all these beautiful phenomena of fluid dynamics surrounding us. Whether it is the rain, whether it is the beautiful flow patterns which you see or even if you want to see the storm every morning in our tea cup when we try to dissolve sugar all these things comes from the dynamics of fluid mechanics. Fluid mechanics is perhaps more important than everything else for us and perhaps that is the reason why in Sanskrit a fluid, a liquid in particular is known as dravya. Dravya has a different meaning also. We have solid assets and we have fluid or liquid assets. So perhaps fluid mechanics is richer than the other two disciplines of thermodynamics and heat transfer. But that although it does not have its own basic laws and everything depends on the properties of fluids there are overlaps and there are questions of applicability, questions of reversibility even in fluid mechanics. While discussing thermodynamics I think those who are somehow know about that would notice that we have discussed the Bernoulli equation as a special case of the first law of thermodynamics, conservation of energy. And I think during this course the teachers will argue that they will derive Bernoulli equation as a special case of the conservation of momentum principle. So what does it really represent? This overlap between thermodynamics and fluid mechanics will be there. If you think that reversibility is something which we talk only in thermodynamics not true. Now if you go out you will see lawns and gardens being sprinkled with that rotating garden sprinkler. In school days we have seen that as a illustration of conservation of momentum. We push water out through a nozzle. So momentum goes out there has to be an equal reaction so the nozzle turns back and then there are two nozzles connected to a fulcrum in between and they rotate. Now do a simple experiment. Take a small nowadays they are even available in plastic so you can hold them very easily in your hand. Connect a tube and blow air through it. It will rotate slowly. Now try to suck air back through it. It does not rotate in the reverse direction. This is a simple illustration of essentially fluid dynamic irreversibility. If you think over it you will get the reason. You will come to the reasoning behind it. But let me not spend much more time on this. Let me simply say enjoy these five days, learn fluid fluid mechanics and then go back and coordinate and get hundred odd participants for each of your centers. Thank you. Originally we have introductions of all the participants. We have about three minutes as per our timetable for the tea break. But if we all agree that we could delay the tea break by another five to seven minutes. I think it would be nice to have every one of them introduced very briefly. So I will pass on the mic and request each one of you to tell us your name and the institute that you come from and which subjects do you teach apart from of course fluid dynamics. Good morning.

Professor Date could you please stand up. I would say a few sentences about it. You would know that the nation demands some kind of relevance to the research that you do and the most relevant research is perceived to be one which directly helps people who live let's say below poverty line typically in rural areas. Professor Date has spent his entire life in doing unconventional research for helping the rural poor and of course the mentor is now enlarged in scope and a lot of faculty members are following that. Thank you for that. With that thank you very much all for coming
