OZHIKODE: The indomitable spirit of India has made possible the impossible whenever the country was denied key technology, said A Sivathanu Pillai, chief of BrahMos Aerospace, here on Wednesday.
Delivering the convocation address at the National Institute of Technology-Calicut (NIT-C), he said the development of the re-entry structure for Agni missile, the multi-function radar and the supersonic BrahMos cruise missile, reflected India's never-say-die attitude.
Though he lauded the contributions of young engineers from various national institutes, he lamented the trend of young minds migrating to foreign shores after completing their education in the country.
The IITs in the country has been getting an annual funding of Rs 900-Rs 1,300 crores. Despite investing much money on students, almost all them have been migrating to developed countries, he said.
"It means the knowledge gained by them is being used for the development of countries other than India at our cost," he said, adding that students passing out from the NITs have become the major brain resource for the nation's important programmes.
On the BrahMos-2 project for developing a hypersonic reusable cruise missile, Pillai said it would give a significant boost to the country's defence capabilities.
He had earlier in June said the missile would be ready for test flight in 2017.
"The BrahMos- 2 programme has started with its design and basic technology development is currently underway," he said. Pillai said the missile, with a speed of Mach- 7 would deliver the warhead, assess the destruction of the target and come back and get ready to go again.
The convocation witnessed the graduation of 1,099 students 656 undergraduates, 430 postgraduates and 13 PhD scholars.
Tathva 2012, the annual techno-management festival of NIT-C, was also inaugurated on Wednesday.
The three-day event would feature lectures, technical competitions and an array of gaming and design contests.
Around 1,500 students from 300 colleges across south India would participate. C G Krishnadas Nair, chairman of the board of governors of NIT-C and M N Bandopadhyay, director of NIT-C, along with faculty members, students and parents were present at the function.

SO BRAHMOS-2 is infact a UCAV with ground attack or anti ship warfare role ( with no countermeasure from enemy) . now that is a good system even if we field it by 2020 !
