About:
Shaastra is the annual Technical Fest organised by Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. Shaastra 2008 coincides with the Golden Jubilee year of IIT Madras and is the first ISO 9001:2000 certified student organized event in the world.
There are tonnes of events being organised as part of the fest. Events are being organised under different categories namely Applied Engineering, Coding events, Workshops, entrepreneurship, design events, design and build events, Hands On events, Online events, Video Conferencing and more.
It all starts with an idea. A sudden spark of brilliance. A flash of genius. But you can never tell where an idea will end up. Because an idea can spread, change, grow and may end up affecting the way we live. But no matter how the idea may change our lives, we all will always look back and try to understand how it all began. We admire the humble beginnings of the idea and the fertile minds which gave birth to it. We celebrate those moments of splendor and marvel at the thought processes behind the ideas.
We in IIT Madras firmly believe in the infinite capacity of the human mind. We believe that all we need is that one second of inspiration. We believe that its all our destiny to solve the problems of our race. We believe that ideas are not constrained by age, color or creed. We believe that each one of us has that potential to change the way we look at ourselves. We believe in the boundless possibility within the human race.
To celebrate this wondrous capacity to think and invent, we play host annually in the first week of October to some of the most talented and promising students from all over the country. Those five days of frantic competition and illumination is what Shaastra is all about. The first ISO 9001:2000 certified student organized event in the world, Shaastra has become synonymous with furthering quality and excellence in science and engineering.
Shaastra 2008 coincides with the Golden Jubilee year of IIT Madras and we welcome all of you to come and participate in this celebration of the human capacity to be inventive. Come and have your Eureka moment in Shaastra 2008- the place where ideas converge and there is no limit to what you can imagine.
