TO MAKE EVERY MAN A SUCCESS AND NO MAN A FAILURE Drive Your

Dreams

“Only a nation built on strong basic principles of economics will stand the test of time. It is for every one of us to think about where this country is headed and see what we can do individually and collectively to help India come out of the red. We are a billionstrong nation of talented and diligent people. We don’t really need to leave our home ground in search of greater pastures. It breaks my heart when I see brilliant and educated youngsters queuing up in front of the foreign embassies for visas. I wish I could tell them there are plenty of things they can do right here in India. Together we have to build a better nation.

I am reminded of the words of Martin Luther King Jr., “Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.”

This is what I have tried to do.

I wish I had the strength to do more.”

Dr. K. C. G. Verghese (1940-2006) Founder Chairman

Preamble

The Birth of an Institution

In the early days of 1965, Late Dr. K.C.G. Verghese took up teaching assignments in Automobile Engineering subjects. His well-acquainted subject knowledge and inquisitiveness to the know-hows of the Automotive industry worldwide drew in a large number of students. While coaching for British Automobile Examination then, Dr. K.C.G. Verghese realized that Indian students could easily clear them with minimum preparation. It was at this moment, students promised Dr. K.C.G. Verghese to bring over a hundred students from Singapore and Malaysia if he were to set up an institution on his own. The idea dawned upon Dr. K.C.G. Verghese as he felt the time had arrived to start his own venture and thus Hindustan Engineering Training Centre (HETC) was started in 1966 as an educational institution intended primarily for foreign students. This irresistible quest for knowledge eventually paved way for the commencement of other Institutions under the Hindustan Group of Institutions (HGI).

Dr. Mrs. ELIZABETH VERGHESE FOUNDER CHANCELLOR

“We cannot always build a future for our youth, but we can always build our youth for the future.”

- Franklin D. Roosevelt

With immense joy and heartful of gratitude, I extend my warmest felicitations as we commemorate the 40th year - the Ruby Jubilee - of Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science. This cherished milestone is more than a celebration of time; it is a luminous reflection of a sacred journey that began with a dream-a dream to empower young minds through the transformative force of education, to illuminate lives, and to build a future anchored in knowledge, values, and vision.

Four decades ago, my beloved husband, Dr. K.C.G. Verghese, a visionary of rare spirit, planted the seeds of what would become one of India’s most admired institutions. With faith as his compass and service as his mission, he laid the foundation of “Hindustan” with a simple yet profound motto: “To Make Every Man a Success and No Man a Failure.” That principle continues to guide our every endeavour, echoing across classrooms, laboratories, and hearts.

From its inception in 1985, Hindustan has grown in splendour, rising from its humble beginning, to become a beacon of excellence in higher education. What once began as a fledgling technical Institution has blossomed into a thriving Deemed-to-be University, offering an impressive spectrum of programmes in Engineering, Technology, Management, Architecture, Law, Design, Liberal Arts, Health Sciences, and Aviation.

Today, HITS stands tall as a vibrant, inclusive, and innovative academic community, home to thousands of students from across India and the globe. It has been our privilege to nurture generations of scholars, dreamers, and doersyoung men and women who carry the torch of Hindustan into the world, shining brightly in every sphere they embark.

Over the past forty years, our University has attained many accolades-national recognitions, international accreditations, impactful research, visionary partnerships, and a thriving alumni network that spans continents. But far beyond the tangible achievements, it is the intangible essence of Hindustan-its culture of compassion, its spirit of resilience, and its unwavering belief in human potential-that truly defines its legacy.

I take immense pride in the Institution’s commitment to gender equality, sustainability, rural empowerment, and social justice. HITS has not only been a centre of learning but also a cradle of service. Through numerous outreach and development initiatives, our University has extended its hand to the underserved, the unheard, and the unseen by breathing hope where it is needed most.

It is a pride to acclaim how the seeds sown with sincerity have flourished into a vast canopy under which so many dreams are nurtured. The unwavering dedication of our faculty, the tireless support of our staff, the brilliance of our students, and the loyalty of our alumni have been the cornerstone of this remarkable journey.

On this auspicious Ruby Jubilee Year, let us not merely look back at what has been achieved, but also look ahead with renewed purpose. Let us rededicate ourselves to the values that define us-integrity, inclusivity, innovation-and move forward with courage and compassion towards even greater heights.

Let Hindustan continue to be a lighthouse for those who seek wisdom, a sanctuary for those who dream, and a platform where every learner is celebrated.

May the legacy of our Founder live on in every heartbeat of this University. And may HITS forever soar-radiant in purpose, resplendent in progress, and rooted in love for humanity.

CHANCELLOR

Dr. ANAND JACOB VERGHESE

Iam filled with immense joy as we gather to celebrate the year 2024-25-a poignant reminder of the strength and unity that binds us as one family. In the words of Steve Jobs, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do."

Over the past year, Hindustan has not only adapted to global changes but has also set new benchmarks in educational excellence and research innovation. Our commitment to integrating digital solutions has significantly benefited both students and staff, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of technological advancement. Moreover, our ethical embrace of artificial intelligence underscores our dedication to leveraging technology for the betterment of society.

Our global footprint continues to expand, with our robust alumni chapters now established in 25 countries, including the recent additions in the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. This international network not only strengthens our global presence but also fosters cross-cultural collaborations and opportunities.

At HITS, we believe that the collective efforts of each individual-driven by passion, dedication, and perseverance-are our greatest strength. As we lay strong foundations and transform into a model group of institutions, it is imperative that we remain energized and committed to training competent professionals across all levels of education. Our unwavering focus on sustainability and community development ensures that we contribute meaningfully to the society while upholding the noble mission of our Founder.

I extend my heartfelt appreciation to our dedicated faculty, diligent staff, and enthusiastic students. Your hard work and commitment lay the foundation for our success and play a vital role in realizing our vision of becoming a reputable international institution for education and research. Together, I am confident that we will achieve even greater milestones in the coming year, continuing to shine as a beacon of educational excellence both nationally and beyond.

PRO CHANCELLOR

Dr. ASHOK GEORGE VERGHESE

It is with immense pride and joy that I extend my warmest greetings to one and all. The academic year 2024-25 reinforced our reputation as a globally respected Institution dedicated to excellence in education, innovation, and societal impact.

Hindustan has made significant strides in international rankings.

They had the opportunity to view the celestial objects Venus, Mars, Jupiter with its moons, and the Moon’s surface from the Bay Range Campus with help of modern telescopes.

Apart from this, the global footprint of HITS continues to expand with the establishment of active Alumni Chapters across the globe. Expanding our alumni network is essential to grow current contributions of 25 Lakhs to 2 Crores in the forthcoming years.

On the sports front, Hindustan Basketball Team secured the third position in the South Zone Inter University Basketball Men Tournament and thereby qualified for the All-India Inter-University Basketball Tournament. Ms. Subashini of second-year B. Sc. Physical Education clinched the Gold Medal at the Uzbekistan World Cup Kickboxing 2024 held at Tashkent. Ms. Dharshini, an alumnus of HITS won the Best Player Award at the National Basketball Tournament held in Gujarat. Ms. Talitha Mana Udhay was selected to represent Tamil Nadu at the 38th National Games of India held at Uttarkand.

IamDEPUTY DIRECTOR

Mr. ENID VERGHESE JACOB

truly excited share a few words in this vibrant edition of HCELLENCE 2025. As a member of this academic family, I see how rapidly the world is evolving-and I believe this generation has a unique fire within. You are not just students; you are thinkers, innovators, creators, and future leaders. These years are not just about textbooks and grades; they are about finding your purpose, building lifelong friendships, and discovering your inner strengths.

At HITS, we are more than just a University-we are a launchpad. Every classroom discussion, every club activity, and every challenge you overcome is preparing you for a future where your voice matters. My message to you is simple: never underestimate your potential. The journey might be tough at times, but growth happens when you push past your comfort zones.

The future belongs to those who are willing to take risks, learn continuously, and stay true to their values. So, take that leap-start that project, join that club, raise your hand, ask the tough questions. Growth begins when you challenge yourself.

As you flip through the pages of the Magazine, I hope you feel proud. Not just of what you have done, but of who you are becoming. Remember, success is not just about accolades-it is about staying curious, staying kind, and always striving to be better than yesterday.

Keep shining. Keep dreaming. The future is yours to shape.
