Pan-IIT 2008 at IIT-Madras in Chennai :
Surprisingly, of the six themes -- Research (leveraging research and technology in rural development), Entrepreneurship (enabling and launching a million entrepreneurs), Infrastructure (opportunities & problems in India), Education (transforming education for a better tomorrow), Innovation (innovation & entrepreneurship), the theme that has attracted the maximum number of people was Rural Transformation!
An IIT-M alumnus, R Madhavan is a farmer today. He spoke of his successful Padapai Farms and why he chose to be a farmer and not an engineer.

The man who won the heart of all listeners was Popatrao Pawar, a village sarpanch from Ahmednagar district in Maharashtra. In eight years, Popatrao transformed his village of 180 families with his many projects which include the successful 'pani panchayat'. Today, the World Bank has included a visit to this village as a must for its staff.
