CAMPUS OVERVIEW

 

The Gayatri Vidya Parishad College of Engineering (Autonomous) is a private, co-education engineering institute established in the year 1996. Spread over 21 acres in a beautiful green valley far from the frenzied crowd, it is one of the most - preferred private engineering colleges in and around Andhra Pradesh, INDIA. The educational trust is formed, managed and promoted by academicians, philanthropists and technocrats and believes in human capital formation for long-term growth.

The college offers instruction to 1200 undergraduate students in 7 branches of Engineering: Chemical, Civil, Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical engineering,  Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology(IT). The institution also offers Master of Computer Applications program and 13 Postgraduate education programs. The institute is accredited by All India Council for Technical Education(AICTE) and re-accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council by 'A' grade with a CGPA of 3.47/4.00. Along with this, the college is sanctioned the extension of autonomy until 2020 by University Grants Commission (India).

 

PROMOTING STUDENT INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

 

Inspiration and Innovation deficiency in the students is more dangerous than a contagious disease. There is a lot of onus on educational institutions to make a student’s future, industry and market ready. GVP College of Engineering (A) recognized the need and significance to inspire students and promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the campus. The institution established Center for Innovation and introduced Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling Movement to spearhead this mission and appointed a dedicated Director, Dr.Ravi Saripalle to oversee the center mission. The objective of this mission to inspire students by making them hear positive stories and positive NEWS, help them think differently and make them operate on a creative and innovative platform with discipline as a common denominator.

With a mission, “Inspire through Storytelling - Innovate for Life turning” the above model brings distinction in promoting inspiration, thinking, creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership, professionalism, research and relevance to nation-building.

How the CFI is working on instilling Innovation ?

1. Sending Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling e-NEWS letter to all IITs, IIMs, NITs, Universities and more than 10,000+ schools across India. Tilldate6 issues are sent across the Nation (85000+ individual emails sent so far) (letters are displayed onhttp://i2iTM.blogspot.com).

2. These e-NEWS letters contain inspiring stories of people (achievers /failures) and live case studies to students on different levels helping them setvisionfor themselves and execute goals without any external influence.

3. Oncaseto case basis, storytelling workshops are conducted on various school/college platforms thus encouraging Innovation.

4. A new concept of edutainment (education + entertainment) is introduced. This process cuts-down the re-skilling cost as individuals inspire and learnskillon their own

 

ENCOURAGING FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

 

The college encourages faculty to perform more research and development projects. There are around 38 research supervisors/ co-supervisors from different departmentsrecognisedby the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada.

Also funding from various external agencies is procured to facilitate the R&D projects worth Rs. 776.33 lakhs.

There is a dedicated cell called the GVP-Prof.V. Lakshmikantham Institute for Advanced Studies (GVP-LIAS) (in place of Gayatri Vidya Parishad Institute for Advanced Studies (GIAS)), established in 2007. It is the offspring of Prof. Lakshmikantham's vision for a research institute that encompasses a broad spectrum of areas and the management’s initiative to support it. Prof. Lakshmikantham's generous financial support gave impetus to the growth of the institution.

With a vision to establish a Research Centre where the main purpose of its members is to conduct and foster originalcutting edgeresearch in areas of mathematical and computational sciences useful in solving real-world problems via interdisciplinary approach for the benefit of the mankind, the institute uses its sphere of influence and helps to bring resource persons from various parts of the world. It believes in cooperation and works in collaboration with the Dept. of Mathematics, inparticularand other engineering Depts., in general.

Since its inception, over 100 research papers in refereed journals and 4 research monographs (including 2 major ones) have been published. Two international conferences on Recent Advances in Mathematical Sciences and Applications (RAMSA) were organized in 2009 and 2013. Several renowned scientists from various countries participated. Two research projects from Department of Science and Technology (DST) and National Board of Higher Mathematics (NBHM), Department of Atomic Energy have been satisfactorily completed.

Under the able guidance of Prof. S. G. Deo, the former Director of the institute, the institute expanded its functions by organizing training programs for faculty and students appearing forNETexam. Further workshops for the faculty of GVPCE and other institutes/colleges, at various levels (from school teachers to engineering faculty) have been organized.

Also our college is an identified remote centre of IIT Bombay and IIT Kharagpur for conducting Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) under the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) from the year 2015. as on
