IEEE Hyderabad Section at a Glance
On 13 May 1984, a few electrical engineers in New York met to form the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, which later became IEEE. By a coincidence exactly a hundred years later, on 13 May 1984, a few members of IEEE formed a Section of IEEE at Hyderabad. This Section was formed by upgrading what used to be the IEEE Hyderabad Subsection, which was formed in mid-1981 with just 25 members with the initiative of Mr C Satish (now a Life Senior Member), Group. Capt. Siva Swamy was the Chairman of the subsection. Dr V Prasad Kodali, elected as Region 10 Director that year, gave much encouragement for the formation of the Hyderabad section. The Subsection and the Section had a unique set of volunteers of merit and dedication, especially in the 1980s. the section grew slowly due to the hard work of Gp. Capt Siva Swami, Prof B L Deekshatulu, C. Satish, B.S. Nagaraja et al. Prof. B L Deekshatulu was the first Chairman of the Section in 1984 and is now a Life Fellow of IEEE.
The Section has been very active right from its Subsection days. The Subsection’s first continuing education program was a “Signal Processing” course held on 9 and 10 September 1981. The first short course by the Section was on “Secure Communications” from 13 to 22 December 1984, which drew over 100 attendees. Incidentally, in our section, we conducted 32 continuing education programs in the first two decades. Even in the formation of Society Chapters, the Hyderabad Section has shown tremendous efforts. In the early 1990s the first Chapter PES / IAS / PELS Joint Chapter was formed. A few years later, a Computer Society Chapter and then an EMC/MTT/AES Joint Chapter were formed.
Today, there are 11 chapters and Three affinity groups in the Hyderabad section
Industry Collaboration
Industrial Relations Committee (IRC) of the Hyderabad Section brings synergy between Industry, Academia, Start-ups, Government, and practicing professionals by bridging them together onto a common platform. The committee members are interested in conducting technical talks and workshops with IEEE Society Chapters. Symposium on IoT and IEEE standards, one day workshop on UAV's/DRONES-Technological Advances and Innovations are among the important programs organised.
