About Us, In Brief

Engineering)
Our Department is Chaired by Honorable Dr. Santosh S Saraf (Professor and Head Dept of E&C
Engineering)
Our Student Branch is Chaired by our very own and extremely talented Mr. Prasad Kadam (7th sem
ECE)
Sit tight, and get ready to know us and our activites closely!!
As the popular Hindi saying goes...
बूँद बूँद से सागर बनता है, same is the case with IEEE GIT.
We were just 4-5 people who were dedicatedly active in the year 1985, but that was just a stepping stone
in the immense success of our branch.
We have not just grown ourselves but have also helped many dormant student branches on our way to revive
and have also guided new institutes to start a
student branch of their own.
As they say great things have small beginnings our students used to publish only technical papers,
indeed that wasn't less but was just a small beginning. As our family started growing, student
activities and student technical symposiums were initiated.
Gaining experiences from old conferences
like GITCON in 90’s to INFINITY in 2004, IEEE Student Branch has come a long way in contributing to IEEE
Community.
Let us get you acquainted with our activites over the years.....
So, this is the biggest flagship event of our organistaion which started in 2006
The birth of “Paanchajanya” took place with the thinking and intention of bettering the techno -
managerial skills of the students of our family and also of the college.
Along with this aim it was also organized with the motto- ‘EDUTAINMENT’. The word “Paanchajanya”
was coined by the students Mr. Anurag Agarwal and his team, which is the name of the conch of
Lord Krishna
used in the war of Mahabharata. This conch and its sound symbolises victory of dharma over
adharma,
superiority of light over darkness. And in less than the time expected, our flagship event
became very popular and students across various engineering colleges in the radius
waited eagerly for the event to take place every year. It is being
organized every year since 2006.
After the success of PAANCHAJNYA, student branch did not celebrate but strived towards
excellence and expanded its activities for the
whole year. Since 2011, Student branch members are representing the Institute at ALL INDIA
level.
GIT student branch was one of the 3 institutes (KLS’s GIT Belagavi, KLE CET Belagavi,
MMEC Belagavi) who hosted the first North Karnataka Hub event i-GREEEN in 2013.
And not only that but our branch also holds the honors of hosting the first North Karnataka
Student Young Professionals WIE Congress in the Year 2016.
Isn't that great?
We also have small events like Spectrum Days where technical talks are organised for student
members
by the EXECOM team.
And if this is not all we also have WIE affinity group at the branch with it's seperate office
bearers. Every year
Women’s Day is celebrated on 8th March. It was named SPIRITONICA and a 1-day event was conducted
in the
year 2012 and we have never looked back since then. Since then till 2015 SPIRITONICA has been
celebrated on every Women’s Day. Since past 2 years
it is named TRIGARTI (feels more Indian :-) ) and spirit of Womanhood is celebrated. We have
also organised panel discussions and debates
on the following topics: Women Empowerment; Issues faced by Women Employees; Careers for
Women in Engineering etc. Recently the WIE affinity group celebrated UDAAN on 7th March 2020.
Since 2 years
the group appreciates the lady staffs of the institute by honouring them with essentials as a
token of gratitude.
And how can we forget the celebration of the birth of our IEEE student branch which is
celebrated every year on the first Tuesday of October
Members also participate in an online coding competition which runs for 24 hours, which indeed
is quite interesting... It is
conducted every year in the month of October. In the past competitions our members have won at
National/
International level. Another feather in the cap of IEEE
We have achieved a lot in the past years by the support of our family and also by the grace of
GOD.
Student Branch being 17 years old is active and has reported all its activities in time
Three of our honoured Members have been elevated to Senior Member IEEE through ELEVATE program.
Branch WIE affinity group was selected under STAR program in the year 2014 and was supported
with
funds of $300.00 for its activities and contribution to IEEE WIE.
Under the student branch, department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering initiated the
‘Power and Energy Society’ student chapter in the year 2019.
So, now that we have also recieved the support of you and have you onboard we are sure that we
are bound to achieve much more in the future
Student Branch will eye for achieving best Branch; best BC; best Branch Website etc. awards at
Section
and Regionl level.
We are keeping an objective of hosting All India Students Congress; WIE National Summit in the
next 5 years.
We will collaborate with industries nearby and file online petition for starting a Technical
Society or Chapter and organize ONE International Conference in the future.
Last but not the least we will try to conduct compulsory ONE humanitarian event every year and
make it a flagship
event to support society and stay with IEEE motto: Advancing technology for humanity.
