Thank you note for outgoing Presidentou note for outgoing President
Thank y
We take pride and pleasure in congratulating Prof. R. Ven-
kataramani for his epic journey with SRMIST. After his grad-
uation in Civil Engineering in 1968, he started his career as a
lecturer in PSG College of Technology (1969 – 1975). He addi-
tionally gained his Masters in Structural Engineering from IIT,
Madras (1972). He was deputed to the University of Basrah,
Iraq and worked as Lecturer (1975 - 1982). After working with
NBKR Institution and Crescent Engineering College (1982 –
1987), he stepped his foot in SRMIST.
He played a leading role in the establishment of SRM Engineering College and the development of Infrastruc-
ture facilities from 1987 to 2003. From 2004 till his retirement in March 2020, he held various administrative
positions and served the University with his great leadership qualities. With all his enormous knowledge and
expertise, he spent all his time on SRMIST and for the students.
He was a great leader, mentor, guide, and guardian for the hostel students during his tenure as Director, Cam-
pus Life.
As president of the SRM Alumni Association, he has contributed towards the enormous growth in the activities
of the Directorate of Alumni Affairs (DAA) in engaging the alumni in a more meaningful and productive way. We
would not have been able to accomplish these without his wise counsel and patient advice.
Sir, as we look back on your time with SRMIST, please know that our achievements would not have been pos-
sible without you at the helm.
On behalf of SRM and the Directorate of Alumni Affairs, we pay our sincere respect and thanks for all your self-
less service and support extended to us.
