Importance of academic writing skills stressed: Prof KN Satyanarayana

Tirupati: A three-Day Workshop on Academic Writing started at IIT Tirupati on Tuesday. During the inaugural function, the Director of IIT Tirupati Prof KN Satyanarayana emphasised on the need of such workshops that develop autonomy in researchers in terms of research and writing.

Most of the PhD scholars and youth have no skills in academic writing which should develop from primary level itself. He advised the faculty to hold similar workshops every year to benefit more.

Shweta Khanna from the Regional English Office, US Embassy, New Delhi expressed her willingness to collaborate with the Institute in future too. Carol Ruppel, the resource person has explained the main idea behind holding the workshop.

Convenors of the workshop Dr Prabha Shankar Dwivedi, Dr Vamshi Krishna Reddy also spoke on the occasion which was witnessed participation from different Institutes and Universities across the country. The faculty and PhD scholars from the Institute were present during the inaugural session.
