The world is expecting that what it is that you are going to do for the world. It is vice-versa as well…To start with, can I do something for this country, she said during the graduation day of IIITDM Kancheepuram.

‘I think this is what you are supposed to think at this point of time.

Dr. Sridhar Vembu, (Padma Shri Awardee), Chairman, Board of Governors, IIITDM Kancheepuram, said, “The greatest advantage that IIITDM Kancheepuram has as an organization is its connectedness and singularity of purpose.

Ours is not an unmanageable population with people of different directions. The institute is actually a chosen group of people from different backgrounds trying to realize one idea.

To express that in very technical terms – it is to teach and ideate information technology-enabled design and manufacturing. It is a privilege to work toward a well-defined idea and especially when there are very few organizations concentrating on that.

Most importantly, this is not a one-year occurrence for us…There is a significant improvement in our NIRF ranking too. In 2022 we were ranked 184, and in the 2023 ranking we notched up a position in the 101-150 band, said director of IIITDM Kancheepuram.
