Inaugural Address by Prof. Subhash C. Arya, HoD (ECE)

Date: 12.02.2025

Dear Esteemed Colleagues and Research Scholars,

It is with great enthusiasm that I inaugurate our "Wednesday Talk" series, a platform dedicated to fostering intellectual exchange within the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering. This initiative is designed to cultivate a collaborative environment where ideas can flourish without the constraints of formal evaluation.




Before we delve into today's session, I would like to acknowledge two significant occasions that resonate with our community.

On February 11th, World celebrated the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, as declared by UNESCO. This year marked the 10th anniversary of this observance, emphasizing the theme of "Unpacking STEM careers: Her Voice in Science." I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all our women scientists, engineers, and research scholars for their invaluable contributions. I also commend our male colleagues who actively support and encourage this movement towards gender equality in science.

Today, February 12th, we commemorate the 648th birth anniversary of Saint Ravidas, a revered poet and social reformer. His teachings on equality and human rights have left an indelible mark on society. On this auspicious day, I extend my best wishes to all of you.

It is indeed fitting that we commence our "Wednesday Talk" series on such a significant day. This initiative aims to enhance our research culture by providing a regular forum for discussion, deepening our collective understanding, and appreciating the diverse research endeavors within our department.

These sessions will serve as a conduit for free-flowing conversations, enabling us to explore various research domains and identify emerging areas of interest. By showcasing the work of our scholars, we not only celebrate individual achievements but also inspire others to pursue excellence in their research pursuits.

Through brainstorming sessions, we can collectively address research challenges, leveraging the diverse expertise present within our Department. This platform also offers an opportunity for scholars to hone their event management and collaborative skills, essential competencies in the academic and professional arenas.

I encourage each participant to engage actively, share insights, and provide constructive feedback during these sessions. Let us embrace this initiative as a means to strengthen our research community, foster innovation, and contribute meaningfully to the advancement of knowledge in our field.

Together, let us make the "Wednesday Talk" series a cornerstone of our department's academic culture, propelling us toward greater achievements.

Thank you.

Subhash C. Arya
