Presidents Addressing
In his address of the gathering, Er.Koneru Satyanarayana, President , Koneru Lakshmaiah Education Foundation stated his inspired speech with some telling comments on the existing education system particularly the age old teaching styles that reduce the student to the level of a perennially passive receiver of knowledge. He saw some light at the end of the tunnel in the form of the current educational plans and the budget of the new government which promises to reverse the retro patterns that surfaced during the last decade. The two-pronged drive at policy reforms as well as strategic intervention is expected to yield positive growth. This may give the double advantages of educational reform coupled with economic upliftment. The willingness to welcome technological innovation into the curriculum and classroom management will certainly put our education system in the fast track.

Guest of Honor Addressing
Dr. B.V.R. Mohan Reddy, the guest of honor, stressed on the importance of industrial revolutions which have brought phenomenal changes and transformation in the physical existence and outlook of large numbers of populations. The fire and the wheel in the past and the computer in the recent time have all left their massive impress on the face of human society. Dr. Reddy pointed out a significant factor that the world's per capita income increased tenfold while the population increased six fold during this time(1800-present time) .By any standard these allowed for a massive and momentous shift which would lift human existence to a different plane. Presenting an overview of various industrial revolutions Dr. Reddy remarked that the first industrial revolutions was set off by mechanization of textile industry and the discovery first of the steam engine and then of electricity. Another impacting factor was efficient production of steel. Similarly the second industrial revolution made its giant strides with mass manufacturing, automation and assembly lines. The third industrial revolution saw the spread of electronics and IT into many other industries. The impact has revolutionized our thought process life style, and communication processes. It has wiped out the distance from far flung continents. Now we are at the threshold of the fourth industrial revolution and about to watch manufacturing being taken over by digital technologies. Dr. Reddy also identified some of the technologies that are going to get pride of place in the coming decades. They include internet 3d printing, automation etc.,
Concluding his inspirational speech Dr. Mohan Reddy said that learning is a continuous journey and not a destination. Every engineer will do himself a world of good, if he can master two technologies, two domains and industries. Then it can be said with some confidence that he has done his basics well. Finally, he alerted the outgoing prospective engineers that their preparation would not be complete without gaining a wholesome awareness of engineering and professional ethics, the buzzword that is making the rounds in the business and corporate echelons of the world.
