Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology

Dear IEEE Pune Section Community,

I am deeply grateful to all IEEE members for placing trust in us by electing me as Chair, along with the other office bearers of the IEEE Pune Section.

IEEE, the world’s largest technical non-profit volunteer-led organization, not only fosters research and technical advancements but also provides valuable volunteering opportunities for professionals and students.

Established in 2010, the IEEE Pune Section is led by a team of 26 executive committee members from academia and industry, each bringing vast expertise. The section comprises 17 technical society chapters.

Each society chapter actively conducts technical events that benefit students and members. There are ample opportunities to collaborate and contribute.

The IEEE Pune Section also has two affinity groups:

• Women in Engineering (WIE), currently led by Dr. Simran Khiani
• Young Professionals (YP), fostering engagement among early-career members

Additionally, we host four Special Interest Groups (SIGs):

• Healthcare
• Affordable Agriculture
• Smart City
• Energy and Environmental Engineering

We also have two council chapters:

• Sensor Council
• System Council

Our committees focus on Educational Activities, Membership Development, and Industry Relations, offering avenues for learning and professional growth.

IEEE Pune Section supports several technically co-sponsored conferences, IEEE PuneCon, our flagship event, which will be held this year at Savitribai Phule Pune University.

Eu-Reka is a flagship event of IEEE Education Society, Pune Section with the prime objective to “Elevate the Educational Reka”(line) at all levels of society. It is an initiative to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and to promote lifelong learning opportunities. Eu-Reka empowers and encourages College students to promote education as Ambassador of Education.

IEEE is a vast ocean of knowledge, offering incredible opportunities for learning, networking, and skill enhancement. We encourage members to actively participate, submit proposals, and leverage IEEE’s resources to drive innovation for the benefit of humanity.

This year, our primary focus will be on Healthcare and Security, recognizing their increasing importance in daily life.

We also encourage members to strive for the highest membership grade for which they qualify, as our Membership Development initiatives aim to promote both professional and student engagement.

We look forward to your active participation in IEEE Pune Section’s initiatives, helping to shape a dynamic and thriving community.

Best regards,
IEEE Pune Section
