SAE or the ‘Society of Automotive Engineers’ is the world governing body on automotive and related fields. With the passion and commitment, the students work as a team to design, build, test and compete an open-wheeled formula style race car. Since the teams formation, three such cars have been developed i.e. CR800, LJM01, The Beast. Keeping in mind the future competitions the team has already started their work on the next car "B13".<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE5JGczDrSx1TVV6fjBzgqXs4dAhLYp07kttRzSSSFg6emkoJCY1FTk_KClS-yT0_wpeQJS_qlbJ5mzR_oPqsdGh9J1tZEEz6AkT8JgmcQNEtsTbdedpfQlyfni9JbtWGVLH_xKP3qSU72/s1600/Ljm01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="419" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE5JGczDrSx1TVV6fjBzgqXs4dAhLYp07kttRzSSSFg6emkoJCY1FTk_KClS-yT0_wpeQJS_qlbJ5mzR_oPqsdGh9J1tZEEz6AkT8JgmcQNEtsTbdedpfQlyfni9JbtWGVLH_xKP3qSU72/s640/Ljm01.jpg" width="640" /></a>SUPRA SAEINDIA competition is organised by SAE INDIA and is the largest student engineering competition in India. The concept behind the competition is that a fictional manufacturing company has contacted a design team to develop a small Formula style race car. The prototype is to be evaluated for its potential as a racing car. The target marketing group for the race car is the nonprofessional weekend autocross racer. Each team designs and produces a prototype based on well laid down rules & regulations. The competition comprises seven events: Cost and Manufacturing Analysis, Presentation, Design, Acceleration, Skid Pad, Autocross, and Endurance.   The Formula SAE competition is organised by the Society of Automotive Engineers and is held in UK, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria, Australia, Spain, Brasil.   In 2011, in SUPRA SAEINDIA competition, the team was ranked 2nd in Marketing Presentation and finished in 24th out of 40 team participating in the competition.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmRVlqB7Q98MDCNRjFA8ubqNJrl3ufr744B6IbzysX54Qr61yZRGAnk8ZFeJHE5uxI8Xsa2f6OcQMRnyqKKldNMVdtCHfwzNDUlEAELjEXV5zajXRbdqUoJz2Ki-PSoaZMTJkjqsiTjHLL/s1600/The_beast.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmRVlqB7Q98MDCNRjFA8ubqNJrl3ufr744B6IbzysX54Qr61yZRGAnk8ZFeJHE5uxI8Xsa2f6OcQMRnyqKKldNMVdtCHfwzNDUlEAELjEXV5zajXRbdqUoJz2Ki-PSoaZMTJkjqsiTjHLL/s640/The_beast.JPG" width="640" /></a><br /> In 2012, in SUPRA SAEINDIA competition, the team was awarded the overall 1st prize out of 65 teams and along with other awards such as 2nd in Endurance event, 2nd in Autocross event and 2nd in Skid-pad event.     Each year a new car is made from scratch and is an improvement than the previous one. Teamwork, leadership and marketing are the few skills the students learn apart from getting their theoretical knowledge into practice through the design process. The team members and the sponsors get equal opportunity to connect with each other and develop a strong network.</div>

SRM University plans to commercialise its US patented herbal diabetic drug in around six months time, said the private varsity's vice chancellor.   Vice Chancellor M. Ponnavaikko said: "We have incorporated a company called SRM Pharma Ltd. In another six months we may launch the drug. We can get the drug manufactured from a unit in north India."   Last December, the US Patent office granted patent for an herbal formulation for prevention and management of type-2 diabetes mellitus and vascular complications associated with the disease.   A six member team of researchers led by Govind Prasad Dubey and comprising Aruna Agrawal, Nirupama Dubey, Shipra Dubey, Rajesh Dubey and Samamtsan Mercy Deborah invented the drug and secured the patent which was assigned to SRM University, said Ponnavaikko.   Type-II diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that is primarily characterised by insulin resistance, relative insulin deficiency and hyperglycemia, states the background notes on the invention.   It is rapidly increasing in the developed countries and there is also evidence that this pattern will be followed in much of the rest of the parts of the world in coming years.   About 90-95 percent of all North Americans are suffering from type-II diabetes and 20 percent of the population are over the age of 65 years.   According to Ponnavaikko, the university has already filed two more inventions for patent with the US patent office.   "We will shortly file patent application for two more herbal drugs for menopause, cardiovascular and obesity problems," he said.
