AXIS 10

3^rd-5^th September '10

Encompassing DNA from all parts of the vivid exuberance that is India, Central India is a land deeply ingrained in the Indian culture and heritage. Its pinnacle, unquestionably, is Nagpur, the second capital of Maharashtra, well-endowed with respect to geography and the urban demograph, and home to both, the world-famous Nagpur orange and the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology.

VNIT, one of the premier institutes for engineering in India, undoubtedly bags the cream of intellectual talent from the region. In 2001, with a common motivation to showcase technical alacrity and the dire need for new ideas, AXIS, the technical festival of VNIT, was born. Originally christened Odyssey, the technical festival was soon renamed AXIS, to represent a much more active crusade against the lack of novelty and original thought applied to established technological norms, which threatens to impede any future human advancement. Since its inception in 2001, AXIS has never looked back. In the past seven years, AXIS has brought about a complete transformation in the technological dynamic of Central India, and that’s not to mention the strong competition it now give to the technical festivals of other such institutes of high calibre, thus living up to its motto ‘Revolutions start on an AXIS.’
