Dear Professor Reddy 

Thanks for sharing the photo albums of the faculty development program on Current Trends in Smart Grid. 
I also take this opportunity to offer my sincere thanks and appreciation to you both for inviting me to conduct the workshop and for the warm hospitality accorded me during the visit.  My stay at Horsely Hill resort was a great experience. 
I do hope that we will continue the friendship and the professional interaction we have started with this program.  I'll explore the possibility of collaboration between SUNY-Buffalo State [<http://engineeringtechnology.buffalostate.edu/>] and MITS with the administration here.

Siva Kumar, Assistant Professor in Dept. of Electrical Engineering, IIT, Hyderabad was the Chief Guest for this function and he stressed the significance of Smart Grid and its importance in the current scenario. The Resource person of this programme, Prof. Mohammed Safiuddin, Research Professor, Emeritus, Electrical Engineering Department, University at Buffalo, NY, U.S.A. stressed the importance of electrical energy, effective utilization of electrical energy and recent development for efficient use of electricity energy.

The resource person conducted various sessions on “Current Trends in Smart Grid” for three days. During this programme, he discussed the basic concepts of Smart Grid, distributed power generation techniques, Smart Grid control systems, power electronics for Smart Grid and smart sensors & networks for Smart Grid. Each session was interactive. The participants learnt about the recent developments in Smart Grid.

REVIEW MEETING

Members Present: Principal, EEE HOD, EEE faculty, AO (A&P)

Date: 15/06/2013      Venue: Principal Chamber

Review meeting was called for by the Principal with coordinators to review the Faculty Development Program on "Current Trends in Smart Grid" by EEE Department.

The principal congratulated all the coordinators on the grand success of the event. However the following points were discussed for the further improvement in organizing the forth coming events.

1)      Quality of the work shop kit should be improved as the quality of note pad, file and pen are not up to the mark.

2)      Snacks may be provided to all the participants during all sessions along with tea / coffee.

3)      Infrastructure facilities should be improved at seminar hall like audio and internet facility.

4)      Faculty has not shared some of their ideas in the department meetings regarding organizing of the event, which might have made grand success of the event.

5)  The resource person felt happy for the hospitality and as a token of appreciation he has presented a gift to accompanying faculty. This happened first time in our college.

6)     There were no registrations till 28^th May, 2013 and after the meeting held with Principal, AO (A&P) and the EEE faculty, the registrations were improved and made the event grand success.

7)     An interactive session was organized after the event with EEE faculty, Deans, HOD’s and other department faculty. This was happened first time in our college, which was appreciated by the principal during review meeting.

                                On the whole the event organized on a grand scale.
