CPRI CENTRAL POWER RESEARCH INSTITUTE

The CPRI or the CENTRAL POWER RESEARCH INSTITUTE is a key organization in the city and possibly has other branches across the country. I have visited this institute many times. Mylavarapu Ramamamurthy who has written a book on Power Electronics was director of this institute in the 1980s. In 1997 I remember visiting Mr. Biswas who was a key official inside the premises of CPRI and have also attended seminars inside the CPRI  auditorium.

This institute proves beyond doubt our Government is second to none in creating and nurturing institutes like CPRI  in niche sectors which serve as a back bone to power transmission thinking and dynamics.

Anyone keen on visiting this institute or in a quandary about its location the institute is adjacent to the Indian Institute of Science also called the Tata Institute and a key bus stop along the way is Mekhri Circle and the IAF training command and even Sankey tank is close by.

RIMS Ramaiah Institute of Management Studies

Some time back I visited RIMS Ramaiah Institute of Management Studies which is on New Bel Road closer to the BEL factory an institute for Management Studies commenced  a dozen years ago. It was initially started as a small outfit and then came up in the present location.

What I saw basically was a well ordained outfit that truly left me spell bound...adequate number of floors with good class rooms and wi-fi with offices for staff both teaching and non teaching in right measure. I even happened to be at the top of the building where from the view of the city around is breath-taking.

I have always felt that Management Education is different from many other kinds of Education systems largely because the entire subject is open ended in nature which strictly means the combined areas of Management and Business is not always bound by strict domains and absolute truths and facts but is an open science to be examined and understood in a befitting way and the science facing a metamorphosis every now and then. Most social sciences are of this nature and Management education is no exception..which simply means the more regular forms of education of being bound by a syllabus and exam being the be-all and end-all of the Education process is largely limited in the managerial context and the Education environment must indoctrinate the students largely both the tangible and the logical.

I have known Dr. Pattabhiram for many years now who put up RIMS under the overall aegis of the M S RAMAIAH FOUNDATION adheres in full measure to the doctrine that any Faculty must deliver and do absolute justice to the Student in the class and he had zero tolerance to this policy even when he was active at MSRIM.

During my visit to RIMS it was nice to have a rendezvous with my old colleagues and friends like

Mr. Sivadas Nambiar , Dr. Y Rajaram , Mr. Anil Gowda and few others.

How to get to this institute? Very Simple !From Mekhri circle come to Sadashivanagar police station and enter New BEL Road on which CPRI is located.Go straight and cross the traffic point and ahead on the left you will see Devasandra bus stop and few metres ahead on the left is RIMS.

May such institutes thrive that give and focus on giving absolute value to the student community.
