Recommendations
The invited lectures, topic discussions, technical paper presentations at the two day congress as the basis for the
recommendations. In a Holistic Manner, all the speakers focused on Excellence in Engineering Practice to Make
In India as an Implementable Technique and not at Planning Stage.
ITC recognized as right platform for Academia, Industry, R&D Labs & Policy making bodies.
To attract more Research Organizations to participate and collaborate with Academia Institutions to
carry out Research & Development on cutting edge technologies.
To encourage participation of MSME’s, a separate pavilion for MSME’s may be created in the future
ITC’s.
Gap that exists between available technology and implementation mechanism is to be minimized during
coming years through ITC.
The outcome of ITC-2016 is highly positive. It is aimed that engineering and technological community
well contribute to make India an economic super power by 2025. It is needless to say that
responsibilities are to be shouldered by engineers of different disciplines.
