Dr.S.Karthikeyan, honorary secretary IE(I) felicitated the gathering and briefed the essential role of water in our human life and its importance. He stated that the Institution of Engineers (India) is the National organization of engineering professionals in India. It is the largest multi-disciplinary engineering professional society. He insisted everyone to become member of IEI and encouraged the students to apply for the project proposal for which the fundings are given in order to motivate the students.
About the Lecture
Dr.Sekhar Raghavan is the Director of Rain centre at Adyar, Chennai which was been inaugurated by the Former Chief Minister Late. Dr.J.Jayalalitha. Dr.Sekhar Raghavana is also known as Rain man. The speaker started the lecture explaining the need, relevance and importance of rainwater harvesting. During his lecture he explained to students about his initiating the rain centre which was a part of his Akash Ganga Trust that spreads awareness about rainwater conservation in a country that thirsts for water yet allows the precious fluid to go waste. Hence a universal access to water still remains an issue in India and in particular in Chennai. He also shared his experience in bridging the gaps between society and rainwater harvesting in his life long journey to keep the water-tables high and the groundwater sweet (as opposed to salty groundwater due to over-use and seawater ingress). In this case moving forward to the future generation and needs. It’s that time of year when we should start worrying about our rain water harvesting systems and get them ready for the coming rains. The speaker shared about the most common problems that can be expected in RWH structures for which he has given few tips to follow. The issues are deposit of silt picked up by rainwater from dirty rooftops and driveways. Take preventive measures like pruning tree branches, empty and clean the filters, wash, dry and fill them. Regularly check the roof top pipes for leaks and replace where necessary. Finally, the speaker concluded by saying save rainwater as it is free. Around 70 students from IV and VI semester B.Tech, Civil Engineering participated in the event and got benefited. This lecture was useful and compliments the UG courses viz. CEDX 53 – Stormwater and Flood management, CEDX 51 –Hydrology and CED 2205 –Water Resources Engineering.
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON “SMART MATERIALS FOR GREEN ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY” (SMAGEES 2024) (Date 11th-12th December 2024)
In 2024, BSACIST positions itself as an active facilitator of cross-sector dialogue on the Sustainable Development Goals. By engaging with government bodies, regional NGOs, industry partners, and academic peers through events like the SMaGEES – Smart Materials for Green Energy & Environmental Sustainability conference, the institute embodies the expectation of initiating and participating in multi-stakeholder discussions. This approach helps translate SDG ambitions into concrete policy questions, research agendas, and collaborative projects that bridge science, policy, and practice. The SMaGEES-2024 conference (in Figure 1.1) provides a structured platform for BSACIST to showcase relevant research and facilitate dialogue on green energy and environmental sustainability. By bringing together government representatives, NGO leaders, and industry practitioners, the event creates an environment for identifying policy gaps, testing ideas, and co-creating recommendations. Such cross-sector engagement aligns with the methodology’s emphasis on modelling potential futures, monitoring impacts, and refining interventions through collaborative learning.
The Complete Report of the International Conference on “Smart Materials for Green Energy & Environmental Sustainability (SMaGEES 2024) is available in the following web link shown in XVII(2.3)-1.
A core benefit of cross-sector SDG dialogue is the opportunity to model future scenarios with and without specific interventions. BSACIST can leverage the expertise gathered at SMaGEES-2024 to co-develop scenario analyses that illuminate trade-offs between energy innovation, environmental protection, and social outcomes. This aligns with the methodology’s emphasis on scenario planning as a tool for policy development and strategic decision-making.
Cross-sector dialogues generate diverse inputs that can feed monitoring and reporting mechanisms. BSACIST can curate learning from the conference discussions into a set of indicators, case studies, and monitoring frameworks. These outputs support adaptive management by providing evidence on what interventions work in practice, helping policymakers and partners adjust strategies in response to real-world feedback.
The attendance, presentations, and panel discussions at SMaGEES-2024 yield tangible knowledge products—policy briefs, research summaries, and best-practice guidelines—that can be disseminated to regional NGOs and government agencies. Such outputs serve as evidence of BSACIST’s contribution to SDG policy knowledge, fulfilling the cross-sector dialogue objective and enhancing the institute’s credibility as a policy-informing actor.
To sustain cross-sector SDG dialogue, BSACIST should formalize mechanisms that capture conference insights, track policy-relevant contributions, and report progress to internal and external stakeholders. Establishing a cross-sector SDG task force or working group can institutionalize collaboration with government and NGOs, ensuring that dialogues translate into policy inputs, funding opportunities, and coordinated action across sectors.
For robust reporting, BSACIST can track indicators such as: number of cross-sector events participated in or hosted (including SMaGEES-2024), policy recommendations submitted, joint research proposals with government or NGOs, SDG-aligned outputs (briefs, policy papers, or case studies), and documented adaptive management decisions influenced by multi-stakeholder inputs.
