IEEE-R10 SAC INDIA team was formed with the intension to enhance and encourage communication between student branches of a section and between sections. This is achieved by bringing student branches to work together and promoting effective networking between student branches. This will lead to increase in IEEE activities, reactivation of sick student branches, formation of new branches and effective transfer of responsibilities to new branch officers thus increasing the value of IEEE student membership and thereby sustain student members in IEEE. The 3 major pillars of IEEE-R10 SAC Team are: • Student Branch Networking – To encourage inter-SB activities and networking • Industry Relations – To connect SBs and Industries in an effective manner • oration Platform – Create Online Collaboration environments for student members
One of the primary goals of the team is to help student branches in improving retention.
Student Branch Networking Pillar The Student Branch Networking pillar had been actively working to encourage networking and combined events across Student branches in a section and across sections. The team was able to actively engage and guide student branches in organizing such events effectively. IEEE Madras Section Student Network The IEEE Madras Section Student Network is divided into 6 hubs with regional operations in each HUB. They are: - Chennai HUB - Coimbatore HUB - Madurai HUB - Nagercoil HUB - Salem HUB - Trichi HUB
There are 11 active student branches in the network and 4 new ones were added in 2012.

Industry Relations Pillar
The primary aim of the Industry Relations pillar was to increase partnership between corporate organizations and India Student Network to improve benefits for student members. The team organized several webinars in association with Industries: 1. Python Workshop 2. Image Processing – Open CV Workshop The team had initially planned to build partnerships with several companies. However, owing to change of VC’s and being the first year of team formation, much progress could not be made in this direction. The team had come up with a draft MOU with Mircosoft Corporation which was later to be extended to other organizations.
