IIM Trichy Organises Movie Screening And Discussion On 'Navigating Development Discourse And The (Imminent?) Flood'

Dr. Mathai used a very remarkable analogy to describe the current global energy scenario. He asked the audience to think of the energy consumers/extractors of today’s world as a drug addict. Using relatively easy-to-tap non-renewable energy sources is the same as a drug addict takes another shot to calm himself down, not realising that one day we’ll eventually run out of them. Making it more of a discussion forum, Dr. Mathai answered questions related to how can any government implement efficient policies to support the cause, how feasible are Tesla’s Giga factories and about how to appropriately subsidise products that encourage the use of renewable energy sources. The session was concluded by our very own Dr. Prabhir Vishnu Poruthiyil without whose cooperation and support this event wouldn’t have been nearly as successful. The event saw overwhelming participation from the student community of IIM Trichy and it also attracted faculties and students of National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli.
