Beyond this blue humdrum,
Where UFO sightings and idiosyncrasy are not synonymous,
Where Scientology is the new Christianity,
Where reason always triumphs,
Let Techkriti 16 take you to that imaginative heaven.
Every year since then, around March, Techkriti IIT Kanpur’s annual technical and entrepreneurship fest, ventures to ingrain the hierarchical idea of innovation that has been prevalent in IITK since its bricks were still warm into young kids, adults, and the majority in between. Techkriti has consolidated its position as the brand ambassador of the technical prowess of young India. Ideas that work have a domino effect. One effective solution can solve many more problems than the one it intended to fix. Techkriti, throughout its 4 day journey, explores many such ideas that possess the potential of making this world a better place, if only by too small a margin. Over the years, Techkriti has evolved. 2016 will witness Techkriti going beyond our planet to explore the dark realm which hovers over our blue earth. Techkriti kicks off two months prior to the main gala, going to various cities to conduct prelims in various engineering colleges.
