INFORMATION ABOUT THE INSTITUTE

The Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani is an all-India Institution declared as

deemed to be university established under Section 3 of the UGC act. It is privately supported, fully

residential and admits both male and female students. The primary objectives of the Institute are "to

provide for and otherwise promote education and research in the fields of Technology, Science,

Humanities, Industry, Business, Public Administration and to collate and disseminate in such fields

effective ideas, methods, techniques and information as are likely to promote the material and

industrial welfare of India" and to "train young men and women able and eager to create and put into

action such ideas, methods, techniques and information".

The Institute was initially registered as a Society under the Rajasthan Societies Registration Act of

1958 on the 13th May, 1964. Subsequently, by notification published in the Gazette of India dated

the 27th June, 1964, the Ministry of Education, Government of India, declared that the Institute being

an institution for higher education shall be "deemed to be a University". The Institute started

functioning with effect from 1st July, 1964 with late Shri G.D. Birla as its Founder Chairman.

The Institute started as a small "Pathshala" in Pilani way back in the year 1901 by Seth Shiv Narainji

Birla with one teacher for educating his grandsons, late Shri G.D. Birla and late Shri R.D. Birla. Pilani

was then a small isolated desert village in Rajasthan. The Pathshala evolved slowly and steadily into

a High School in 1925 and became an Intermediate College in 1929. The Birla Education Trust was

founded in the same year. The Intermediate College developed into a Degree College in 1943. In

1947, this college was raised to postgraduate level. In 1950, Pharmacy courses were started in this

college, and in 1952, it was bifurcated into College of Arts and the College of Science, Commerce

and Pharmacy.

During World War II, the Government of India established a Technical Training Centre at Pilani for

the supply of technicians for Defence Services and industry. In 1946, late Shri G.D. Birla decided to

convert it into an engineering college with degree programmes in Electrical and Mechanical

Engineering. Master's programme in Electronics was started in 1955. B.E. programmes in Civil

Engineering and Chemical Engineering were started later. In 1964 with the inception of the Birla

Institute of Technology and Science, the colleges, viz., Birla College of Science, Commerce and

Pharmacy, Birla College of Arts and Birla College of Engineering situated at Pilani, as also all

properties, movable and immovable, together with educational facilities, hostels, staff quarters,

playgrounds, etc., became part of the Institute and all these properties were vested in it. During the

early years of its inception, i.e., 1964 to 1970, the Institute with the support of Ford Foundation Grant

had the advantage of having collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. It

adopted the semester system, modular structure of courses, continuous and internal evaluation,

letter grading, etc. It also created institutionalized linkages with the industries. Over a period of time,

the Institute also introduced several flexibilities in its educational programmes.

Dr. K.K. Birla who took over as the Chairman of BITS in 1983 was deeply involved and closely

associated with his visionary father in running both the earlier Birla Colleges and the current institute

BITS, since its inception. With his spirited involvement in all the activities of the Institute, he was able

to see the vision of his father Late Shri G.D. Birla unfolding. Taking over the responsibility of running

the institute, Dr. K.K Birla who became the Chancellor in 2003 realized the need for greater number

of promising graduates in the field of science and technology in shaping up the nation’s

development. Hence he initiated an increase in the number of students at Pilani campus during 1999

which gradually carried the total strength from 2500 to 4000. Under his patronage, BITS started

expanding by establishing three campuses, first in Dubai in the year 2000,second in Goa in the year

2004 and third in Hyderabad in the year 2008.

Consequent upon the sad demise of Dr. K.K. Birla on 30 August 2008, Dr. Kumar Mangalam Birla

was elected as the Chancellor and Smt. Shobhana Bhartia was appointed as the Pro-Chancellor of

the Institute. Under the leadership of young and dynamic Chancellor, BITS is taking steps to scale

greater heights.

BITS Pilani – Strategic Improvement Journey

In the last 10 years, BITS has taken giant strides to cement its legacy of being an excellent teaching

institution, with focus on research. Besides, the institution has substantially expanded its capacity to

provide education to more meritorious students from India and abroad. This has been realized

through a well thought out transformation program that not only ushered major improvements in

academics and research, but also in the infrastructure space with modernization and new

construction of several academic blocks, faculty and student housing and other facilities at Pilani,

Goa and Hyderabad campuses. An elaborate growth plan, with student and faculty intake over the

next 10 years, formed the core of this transformation.

The beginning of this strategic transformation was with the launch of Vision 2020 in the year 2009,

with an aim to improve BITS Pilani’s ranking amongst science & technology institutions in India and

Asia. The improvement in the rankings was planned through 3-year programs, known as “Mission”

programs, with a clear objective of bringing significant transformation in chosen focus areas, known

as thrust areas. First such program was called Mission 2012, that saw over 100 faculty member

working with BITS leadership in 6 thrust areas. The major achievements of the Mission 2012

program were - a renewed focus on research with schemes such as Seed Grant, Research Initiation

Grant etc., improved administration through automation by implementing an ERP, introduction of

new people policies in recruitment and performance management, bringing a distinct brand identity

guidelines and the most significant of all – Project “Parivartan”.

In November 2011, Chancellor Dr. Kumar Mangalam Birla formally announced the Project

“Parivartan” to modernize and expand physical infrastructure in Pilani, which was subsequently

extended to Goa and Hyderabad campuses as well. Through this project a number of new facilities

Convocation 2019

have been created and the existing academic blocks, hostels and faculty & staff housing have been

renovated and augmented. The project will take a few more years to complete.

After Mission 2012, a follow-up program called Mission 2015 was initiated with focus on 7 new thrust

areas. Mission 2015 brought further transformation such as international student admission (on the

basis of SAT scores), 3 inter-disciplinary centres-of-excellence for research and application,

institution-wide innovation and incubation centres and policies, Teaching Learning Centres for

research on new age teaching and pedagogy amongst other vital policies and programs. After two

major transformation Missions, the leadership decided to consolidate and review the progress made

thus far in the journey towards Vision 2020 and introduced periodic campus and institution reviews.

These reviews are now completely institutionalized and are an excellent platform for departments

and divisions across BITS to showcase their achievements, and an opportunity to align their

objectives and activities with that of the institution. Equipped with several successes and deep

learning of implementation of 2 strategic programs, followed by periodic institutional reviews, BITS

began deliberations for an extended vision, that would prepare the institution well beyond 2020.

In 2017, BITS engaged a leading global strategy consultant for formulating an overall roadmap that

would propel it to further heights and help attain leadership position in the coming years. This

strategic exercise, christened as Project “Lakshya” is now in implementation phase, with focus on 5

thrust areas: Research, Faculty, Programs & Pedagogy, WILP & Industry Connect, and Alumni

Relations. The thrust areas, each led by senior leader, have set themselves goals that would

strengthen and enhance BITS’ position amongst global science and technology institutions.

BITS Pilani has always been a leader in providing excellent education – the eminent alumni and

stellar faculty who have been part of this institution for the last 55 years are a testimony to this fact.

In 2018, Ministry of Human Resources and Development, Government of India, conferred “Institute

of Eminence” status on BITS Pilani, concurring and endorsing the faith our student, faculty and

alumni have reposed since its inception. BITS Pilani now admits 3344 first degree students, 769

higher degree students and 324 PhD scholars. With a strength of 775 faculty members and over

1100 staff across its 4 campuses, BITS is committed to achieve faculty-to-student ratio that meet

global standards. BITS is also proud to have a network of over 55000 alumni spread across the

world. “BITSians” are leaders in whichever field they have made their careers: Industry,

Entrepreneurship, Academia, Research, Social Sector, Armed Forces, Entertainment, and the

Government to name a few.

In the constant quest to scale newer heights and set new standards, BITS expects an active role and

participation from all its key stakeholders – student, faculty, staff, and alumni.

CHANCELLOR’S ADDRESS

Dr. Kumar Mangalam Birla

Our Chief Guest Shri Sonam Wangchuk, Vice-Chancellor of BITS Pilani - Prof. Souvik Bhattacharyya,

Director Pilani Campus - Prof. A.K. Sarkar, Distinguished faculty members, graduating students,

Ladies and Gentlemen.

While reflecting on the messages I wanted to share with you in my address this year, I found myself

seeking inspiration from one of the guiding lights who helped grow this institution into what it is

today. Shri B.K. Birla.

A towering intellectual and a dynamic educationist who had a profound influence on education in

India. He had a life-long commitment to the cause of education and was deeply invested in providing

fundamental learning and skill development in the seminal years of youth. Spread across the length

and breadth of the country and beyond its shores as well, many educational initiatives and several

institutions founded by him have transformed the lives of thousands of students. Well over 50,000

students annually graduate from institutes that have been built by him and millions of alumni have

added to India’s growing intellectual heft globally.

He was of the firm view that higher education must serve as an engine of opportunity. BITS Pilani is

today one such engine of opportunity. Shri B.K. Birla was a member of the Board of Governors of the

Institute, from the time the Board was first constituted on 3rd November, 1964 till his demise on 3rd

July.

This institute has thrived over seven decades, in large part due to the unwavering commitment of our

founding fathers to imparting world-class education.

In the legends of BITS’ history, Shri BK Birla’s contribution in crafting an enduring legacy will always

stand out.

His zeal to create a revolution in the world of education and his optimism on India’s future is best

captured in his own words and I quote -

“India is the country of today and tomorrow…… the talent held in the palms of the youth of this great

nation will certainly make it a superpower.”

On behalf of the management, faculty and all alumni and students, I would like to pay homage to a

great visionary and an iconic educationist.

I believe the best way to celebrate his indomitable spirit and rich legacy is to live up to the values

that he stood for- Integrity, dedication and service to humanity.

Convocation 2019

The glorious history of this institution instills both expectations and responsibilities on you. And I am

sure you will live up to them.

As you get started on a new phase in your life, I have two key messages for you.

Firstly, Commit yourself to a lifetime of learning. Armed with a marquee degree from a premier

institute and an offer letter from a company of your choice, it is easy to think you have arrived in life.

The reality is – you haven’t. In this fast-changing world, no degree is sufficient to provide you with

the knowledge and wisdom for a lifetime. The learning curve has turned steeper now, as technology

is forcing us to question how we live our lives and how we do our work. From the way you hail a cab

to how you buy groceries to how you consume news. Everything has been upended. What you

cannot dispute is that technology delivers a higher order of value. A much higher order of value. To

be at the cutting edge of this change, you need to keep learning. Today. Tomorrow. And forever.

Because with technology there can be no end game. American Author, Brian Herbert famously said:

“The capacity to learn is a gift; The ability to learn is a skill; The willingness to learn is a choice.”

Talking about choices, you will have to make a lot of choices starting today. Look to make

unconventional ones. The predictable path has predictable returns. In fact, many would argue that

the linear path of career progression that existed for several decades is now broken. So make sure

you pick a path that unleashes your full creative potential.

And that brings me to my second point - Look to be a Force of Change. The key question to ask

today is how best will you use the talent that you have and the education that you have acquired?

What is perhaps more important than the degree that you have just obtained is - what you do with it.

I would love to see you use it to further technological advancements and contribute to economic

progress.

So, set your goals high. Very high. Don’t just face the future, create it and have a stake in it. The

greatest problems facing humanity today need out of the box thinking, and you have the pedigree to

solve them. Push yourself and push your limits of thought. Don’t let any barrier set restrictions on the

scope of the possible. And together, you can be a force of change.

I am energized at the prospect of seeing all of you as trailblazers. I believe in you. I believe in the

power of your ideas and the consequences of your actions. This institute and I will always be

invested in your success.

Finally, today is a day of celebration! A day to pause and reflect. You have a lot to be proud of and a

lot to be grateful for. Remember to give back - to all those who made this day possible and to all

those who perhaps cannot even dream of a day like today.

Thank you and God speed.

Convocation 2019

for a sanitation science laboratory being set-up. Prof V Krishnamurthy and family has created a

scholarships endowment of over $235,600 for qualified needy students. Dr. Satish Goel (1980

Chemical Engg & MMS) has created a research scholar endowment of Rs 21 L. The batch of 1989

and 1993 have set targets of contributing $120,000 and $333,031 respectively.

Mr Prashant Palakurthi has pledged USD 1 million towards establishment of APPCAIR – Anuradha

and Prasanth Pulakarthi Centre for AI Research – which is being set up with multiple Chair

Professorships and Research Scholar support. A key alumni group has launched a mega fundraising

campaign for a Convention Centre in Pilani campus. Designing on merchandising items has been

initiated and online sale would be operative soon. BITS Echo, the newsletter, is published every

quarter covering success stories of our alumni.

However much we say about our alumni, it will not be enough - such is their eminence level. Let me

share a selected few of the alumni accolades. Shri Nanaji Deshmukh (Alumnus of Birla College) was

posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award in 2019. Prof. Arun K

Sharma (1986 Computer Science), Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research and Innovation) of

Queensland University of Technology, has been recognized with ‘Queens Birthday Honour’ -

Australia’s highest civilian honour. Mr. Rajendra Kumar Joshi (1958 Pharmacy) has been conferred

with Pravasi Bhartiya Samman Award. Mr. Vinod Saraf (1971 MBA) of Vinati Organics has been

featured as India's newest billionaire in Forbes Asia Magazine. Prof. M Balakrishnan (1977 EEE),

Deputy Director of IIT Delhi, has been conferred with the 2018 ACM Eugene L. Lawler Award for

Humanitarian Contributions within Computer Science and Informatics. Mr. Neil Nagar (1993 MSc

Mathematics) played an important role in capturing image of a Black Hole for the first time. He is

amongst the collaborators on the international “Event Horizon Telescope (EHT)” project to produce

2019 (National Institutional Ranking Framework, MHRD) has ranked BITS Pilani at 23 in the

University category, and 5th in Pharmacy.

Faculty recruitment continues to be an area of critical focus. During 2018-19, so far 131 offers have

been made (compared to 138 in 2017-18), 60 new faculty members have joined us and 54 more are

expected to join out of the offers made. Recruitment and retention of quality faculty remains a

significant challenge for the institute.

Doctoral student population grew by about 25% last year to reach 1045 with a female scholar

population of 38%. We are looking to garner additional financial support for a greater population of

research scholars since this forms the core workforce to enhance research quantity and quality. We

have upgraded the scholarship amounts closer to the national level. Institution fellowship for PhD

students is at par with IITs and it has been increased to Rs 31,000-35,000. Across the three Indian

campuses, the Institute fellowship today supports around 58% of the PhD students who receive one

form of fellowship or the other. The number of PhD students receiving scholarship from CSIR or

UGC or by sponsored projects has grown significantly from 23 in 2010-11 to 276 in 2018-19.

There are a few thoughts that I want to share with you before I conclude.

What do you do with your degree? Your degree is an achievement certainly; but as Natalie Portman

said, “Achievement is wonderful when you know why you’re doing it, and when you don’t know, it

can be a terrible trap”. Therefore, take your degree as the stepping-stone for being righteous,

conscientious and morally dutiful. It is very difficult in today’s world to be aware of everything around

you especially when you are at your age and there is a constant monologue in your head. Your

university degree, to a certain extent, I believe, would enable you how to think, and thereby, having

some amount of control over your thoughts. Our thoughts create and affect our realities and it is

important for each of us to understand that there might be multiple perspectives to the same event.

Thus, make sure that you continue to learn beyond your degree. You will encounter a fast changing

workspace; malleability comes in very handy along with depth and broad skill sets; be adaptable,

resilient, agile and creative.

Pursue your dreams. Many of us have chosen our path based out of fear disguised as pragmatic and

practical. As BITSians, you are brilliant! Do, what your heart and your head wants you to do - take

that leap of faith. There would be failures; but there are fringe benefits of failure. It takes away the

inessential part of life and enables one to concentrate on the only work that matters. We should not

be perturbed by every stumble. As poet Rumi says, “if you are bothered by every rub, how are you

going to shine your mirror”? As you graduate, you have a huge moral and intellectual capital. Go out

fearlessly and change the world. I can assure you that your alma mater would eagerly follow your

path of success.

Be grateful and feel part of the community wherever you are. Be always thankful to your parents and

family members for the tremendous support they have extended. Remember the unseen sacrifices

of your parents during your studies here; all the vacations never taken, all the family outings that

remained unvisited, all those eating-outs that didn’t happen that ultimately add up to finance your

education. Remember your professors, guides, mentors and innumerable friends, wing-mates, lab

partners that have ignited your minds, pushed you towards excellence and enabled you to be what

Convocation 2019

you are today. Most importantly, remember to write eulogies for those unsung heroes who have

nourished you during your student life in this institute: the cleaners, the mess staff, the canteen folks,

the Bhawan staff - they all worked tirelessly to make your stay bit more comfortable, created the

space equivalent to your home and who worked selflessly and invisibly towards making you reach

your goal.

As you move forward, be a part of the humanity. You are certainly privileged to be a BITSian - use

your strength and privilege judiciously. Each of us is a part of a larger self: a vast community of

existing beings. Ask important questions such as how would you serve the world? What do people

need that your talent can provide? Figure it out and work on it. Work hard, be kind and amazing

things will happen. While you all strive to do well, you must also do some good. This purpose will

thrill you throughout your life, an adventure worth pursuing.

Your Alma mater has given a passport now to succeed in your professional journey. Give back

generously to make BITS Pilani stronger and more eminent. As a graduate and ambassador of BITS

Pilani, you are the torchbearer of an extremely rich heritage. Today your start belonging to an

extremely eminent community. Welcome to the fraternity.

Congratulations! Please keep in touch and I wish you all the very best for now and always!

Mr Wangchuk - thank you for being with us at this very joyous moment for the entire BITS Pilani

family. My faculty colleagues, staff and students are as grateful as I am.

I would also like to thank our Chancellor, Dr Kumar Mangalam Birla, and members of the Board of

Governors for their unflinching support to BITS Pilani.

Finally, I express my gratitude for the faculty and staff members for their commitment to excel in

every aspect of teaching and research, in classrooms, laboratories and beyond. I also thank our

eminent alumni for the excellent support to their alma mater. Together, they all are ensuring that

BITS Pilani remains a top destination for the students, faculty members, research funds, innovators

and recruiters.

Before I speak further, with heavy heart I would like to inform you that one of the founding members

of the institute and also the member of the Board of Governors, Shri B. K. Birlaji left us for the

heavenly abode on 3rd July 2019. His sad demise is a great loss for all of us.

Many of you may know, in the Pilani Campus, we have 13 departments offering 14 undergraduate

(first degree) and 17 postgraduate (higher degree) programmes. All the departments offer Ph.D.

programmes. In this Convocation, 1481 students are eligible to receive their degrees, out of which

1118 will receive their first degree, 327 will receive their higher degree, and 36 will receive their

Let me now present before you a brief report on the most significant happenings at the Pilani

campus during the past academic year.

and 144 Ph.D. students are getting their fellowship from the Institute. During this academic year, a

total of 42 Ph.D. viva voce exams were conducted at Pilani Campus.

For BITS Pilani, attracting talented students for its various programmes has not been a challenge so

far. However, like other reputed institutions, getting qualified and committed faculty members has

remained a big challenge. But I am happy to inform you that in the challenging time also we have

been able to recruit 20 new faculty members for Pilani campus in the last one year.

As BITS Pilani emphasizes on an all-round/holistic development of its students, it also focuses on

continuous growth, development and enhancement of teaching and research on the campus. For

this purpose, apart from the regular intensive teaching workshop for new faculty members, the

institute through its Teaching Learning Centre (TLC) organizes several workshops, symposium,

conferences, invited talks, etc to help faculty members familiarize with the new developments in

teaching and learning across the globe. For example, the Teaching Learning Centre organized a

two-day workshop on Team-Based Learning during 8-9 March, 2019. Dr. Preman Rajalingam,

Assistant Dean, Educational Development and a Senior Lecturer, Medical Education in Nanyang

Technological University, Singapore conducted this workshop. The institute has also joined Asia’s

first ever Society of Engineering Education, AsiaSEE, along with other reputed engineering institutes

such as the National University of Singapore and the University of Hong Kong to contribute our

efforts toward the advancement and enhancement in engineering education via research and

practice for the future generation.

Four faculty members from Pilani campus out of 10 university-wide spent about 2 months in

prestigious universities like University of British Columbia, Canada; University of Twente,

Netherlands; National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan; and University of Maryland, USA with full

financial support from the institute under University Exposure Abroad scheme. One faculty member

out of 4 faculty members from across the institute was sent to Sunrise CSP India Pvt Ltd.

Gadhia, under Industry Immersion Programme for 8 weeks.

Faculty members of this campus are committed and striving hard to take their research to a newer

height. From April 2018 till date, in total 48 projects worth Rs.14.482 crore have been sanctioned by

major funding agencies such as DST, DBT, ICSSR, MHRD, CSIR, etc. Currently there are 104

ongoing funded projects in various departments of the campus. 306 projects worth 137 crore have

been submitted to various funding agencies and they are at present are at different stages of

scrutiny. The Sponsored Research and Consultancy Division (SRCD) along with the Faculty Affairs

Division organized a half day long workshop for the young faculty members where the participants

were oriented to write research proposals and approach various government and private agencies

for funding.

To strengthen research on the campus, the Humanities and Social Sciences Department in

association with Economics and Finance, and Management Departments organized a two-day

workshop on Research Methodology for the research scholars and young faculty members of the

institute. The HSS Department also organized a 7-day long workshop on Academic Writing for the

research scholars.

A large number of faculty members and research scholars of this campus across disciplines

participated in international conferences held abroad and in the country and chaired sessions,

delivered talks, presented their research papers, etc. Many of them received best paper awards. For

INTRODUCTION TO THE CHIEF GUEST

Shri Sonam Wangchuk

Sonam Wangchuk was born in the trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh in J&K, India.

Though a Mechanical Engineer by education, he has been mostly working in the field of education

reform for more than 27 years. In 1988, just after he finished his engineering studies, he founded

SECMOL (Students’ Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh), which aims to bring reforms in

the government school system in Ladakh. In 1994, he was instrumental in the launch of Operation

New Hope, a triangular collaboration of the government, village communities and the civil society to

bring reforms in the government schools system. The programme involved formation of Village

Education Committees to take ownership of state schools, training of teachers in child friendly ways

and re-writing and publishing localised text books for Ladakh. As a result, the pass percentage at

10th grade (matriculation) rose from the dismal 5% to 55% in seven years and 75% these days.

For students who still failed in their state examinations, he founded the SECMOL Alternative School

Campus near Leh, a special school where the admission criteria is failure in exams and not grades.

However, with the supportive and creative environment at the school, the so called failures have

excelled in their chosen fields and risen to international acclaim as entrepreneurs, film makers,

politicians, teachers and so on.

As an engineer, Sonam Wangchuk has been teaching innovation at the SECMOL Alternative School,

where together with the students he designed and built solar heated buildings that are low cost,

made of earth/mud but maintain +15oC even with an ambient temperature of –15oC during Ladakhi

winters.

In order to solve the water crisis mountain regions face due to climate change and fast melting

glaciers, he invented the Ice Stupa artificial glacier that stores the waste stream waters in winter in

the form of giant ice cones or stupas and releases the water in late spring as they melt, just when

farmers need water.

Sonam Wangchuk has won several awards and accolades such as:

Ramon Magsaysay Award 2018, GQ Social Entrepreneur of the Year 2017, Rolex Award for

Enterprise 2016 (Hollywood, USA), Terra Award 2016 for World’s best Earth Buildings (Lyon

France), The UNESCO Chair for Earth Architecture for India in 2014, ‘Real Heroes’ Award by CNN

IBN Channel 2008, ‘Green Teacher’ Award by Sanctuary Asia Magazine 2005, Ashoka Fellowship

by Ashoka: Innovators for the Public 2002, ‘Man of the Year’ by The Week magazine 2001 and the

Governors Medal by the J&K State Government in 1996.
