It is said that 'whatever man conceives can be achieved', and the programs, ventures and socio-educational activities along with humanitarian activities of Prof. Dr. Karad sir leaves us spellbound. The visionary thought process that he has been engaged in, is indeed amazing. A village borne simple teacher is crucial to transform lives of thousands by his thoughts as well as his noble acts.
An engineering teacher initiates life transforming socio-educational privatization movement, showcases what he expects to be quality education by starting own educational institute, devotes to cultural harmony and enlives vision of world peace, that is beloved founder ,our father of MIT Group of Institutions Prof. Dr. Vishwanath D. Karad.

Insight is a National Level Construction Techies Conference. Our commitment for Insight is to offer a student-industry interphase that bridges the gap between theory and practice. Insight was established in the year 2013 with the vision to train civil engineering graduates and students in fundamentals of construction practices to make them more suitable for the Civil Industry. Insight has been coming up with different themes every year so as cope up in skilled manpower to fulfill the growing requirement. More than 1200 students attended in last two years from different universities all over India.
This year in Insight’17 we have chosen the theme as Advanced Transportation System & Infrastructure Development in Developing India – The huge Indian Population demands an efficient and advanced Transportation Systems for the Goods and Masses. Recently projects like Golden Triangle, National Highway Development programs are being enhanced. They are becoming insufficient. Additional transportation facilities such as Dedicated Freight Corridor, Bullet Train, and Metro Trains are getting implemented. Air Traffic is increasing exponentially. Inexpensive Sea Routes are being formulated. Modern Civil Engineering Techniques are being used. Management for all these activities are essential in bulk. The conference theme is divided in to seminars and workshops who will brief about case studies and share real time experiences and implementation strategy to develop huge national highways and transportation system.
