NIT Calicut to Organize Annual Techno-Management Festival, "Tathva '08"
On October 23-26, 2008

Tathva, the Annual Techno-Management Festival of the National Institute of Technology, Calicut is just around the corner in its latest avatar, and is to be held from 23rd to 26th October 2008. It promises to be much bigger and better than ever.

Tathva '08, with a total prize money of INR 6 Lakhs, is the second largest tech-fest of South India. With events across various Engineering disciplines, robotics and management, Tathva '08 boasts of an array of challenging problem statements designed to test the finest minds.

Tathva, in its ninth and latest edition, will be a giant leap forward from its predecessor in terms of quality and prize money at stake. With robotics events of international standard like iBOT and Micro-mouse, and various other circuit, design and coding events, Tathva 08 is poised to set the imagination of many on fire.

This time, Tathva takes up as an initiative the promotion of the Use of Unconventional Sources of Energy with events based on the same. There could not have been a better time to try and capture the imagination of young minds on this subject as the world is on a frantic hunt for alternate energy, with the fuel prices sky-rocketing. Tathva '08 also presents an opportunity for innovative minds across the country to present before a large audience their achievements and projects on unconventional sources of energy and gain recognition and appreciation from an inspired crowd.

Tathva went techno-management for the first time in its previous edition with the event B-Aptist, a B-Plan Event where participants had to present before an elite panel of judges their business plans, and the event saw excellent participation. This time, when the preliminary submission is over, there are teams from IIM Ahmedabad, IIT Mumbai, IIM Bangalore, NIT T, BITS Pilani and Goa, etc. The ten best plans have been selected after first round elimination. The winning team will be helped to set-up their business by Technology Business Incubator of NIT Calicut and also offered with handsome prizes.

At Tathva, NIT Calicut has always strived to present the students an opportunity to interact and learn from some of the best minds on the planet through workshops, lectures and video-conferences. Hands-on workshops on Robotics and an entrepreneurship workshop by Rohit Nalwade will be the highlight of the four-day technological extravaganza.
