Sri Ramakrishna Degree College, Nandyal, organized the innovative “Ignite 10.0” seminar with great enthusiasm on its campus. The primary objective of the programme was to encourage students to identify, develop, and showcase their innovative ideas and entrepreneurial spirit.

The event was attended by renowned motivational speaker Mr. Naveen Lakkoru and Dr. P. Jyothi as chief guests. The programme was also graced by College Chairman Prof. G. Ramakrishna Reddy, Director G. Hemanth Reddy, faculty members Ms. Sravani Kumari and Mr. Prasad, along with a large gathering of students. The seminar commenced with a grand welcome to the dignitaries on the dais.

Students Should Develop Awareness of Startups – Director G. Hemanth Reddy

Addressing the students, Director G. Hemanth Reddy emphasized:

“In today’s highly competitive world, students should not limit themselves to seeking jobs but should also aspire to become entrepreneurs. Every student must first understand the fundamentals of startups—what a startup is and how to establish one. Our college has always been at the forefront of encouraging innovation and bringing out the creative potential of students. Through expert guidance, we provide students with valuable knowledge about business and technology. Whenever students wish to venture into any new field, the management of Sri Ramakrishna College is committed to providing them with complete support, guidance, and mentorship.”

Startups Provide Solutions to Social Problems – Dr. P. Jyothi

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. P. Jyothi said:

“Today, many students are coming forward with innovative ideas through startups. These creative solutions are helping to address several complex social challenges while also generating employment opportunities for many unemployed people. Students who begin thinking independently during their college years and create innovations that benefit society become role models for their peers and future generations. I encourage every student to make the best use of seminars like this and strive to achieve greater heights.”

Face Challenges and Achieve Your Goals – Chief Guest Naveen Lakkoru

Motivational speaker Mr. Naveen Lakkoru inspired the students with his address:

“Dear students, take your senior, Nyasa Pawan, as an inspiration. His journey demonstrates that when you pursue a new idea, you will face many challenges. Whether friends support you or not, what truly matters is your determination to reach your goal and transform your idea into reality. You can learn this from Pawan’s journey. Sri Ramakrishna College recognizes student talent and provides outstanding support through its dedicated faculty. You should feel proud to study in an institution that nurtures creativity, sharpens your ideas, and motivates you to succeed. I am delighted to visit this college once again and witness the remarkable innovations developed by its students.”

During the session, Mr. Naveen Lakkoru engaged the students by asking several interesting subject-related questions. Students who answered correctly were rewarded with prizes on the spot. He also encouraged everyone to confidently share their innovative business and technological ideas.

Presentation of Student Innovations

In the presence of the chief guests, students presented their innovative projects through PowerPoint (PPT) presentations, explaining their concepts with confidence and clarity. Three teams, in particular, received widespread appreciation:

• Team 1: VAR (Medical, Health & Safety) – A technology-based innovation for the healthcare sector.
• Team 2: Eco-Pat – An innovation focused on environmental conservation and sustainability.
• Team 3: One AI Solutions – Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based solutions for real-world challenges.

The chief guests and College Chairman Prof. G. Ramakrishna Reddy highly appreciated the students’ creativity, innovative thinking, and project presentations.

At the conclusion of the programme, the college management felicitated the chief guests by presenting them with shawls and mementoes as a token of appreciation. The “Ignite 10.0” seminar concluded successfully with the singing of the National Anthem.
