Krishna C Saraswat, an India-born engineering professor at the Stanford University in the US, has become the first recipient of the Techno Visionary award of the Indian Semiconductor Association (ISA) for lifetime achievement in the field of electronics. Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi's professor Jagadish Kumar was presented the ISA's TechnoMentor award for his research abilities and successful mentoring of hundreds of under-graduates and post-graduates.

IIT Chennai and IIT Kharagpur were jointly selected for the TechnoShield trophy in recognition of their contribution in semiconductor research.

The TechnoInventor award was presented to RK Sharma of the National Institute of Technology (NIT) in Kurukshetra and E. Syam Sundar Reddy of IIT Chennai for their post-graduate and doctoral research.

Other than giving such awards, ISA is also taking initiatives to go in for discussions etc. to make the people in teh industry and the field of education about the new trends and what to do in that. One such initiative was,  a panel discussion on Low Power Design.

The topic of the panel discussion was “Accelerating Low Power Design: The New Industry Imperative”. Representatives from the world’s leading semiconductor, foundry, and Intellectual Property (IP) and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) companies highlighted the need for low power design in today’s highly connected world.

Low Power IC design today is a critical business need and reducing power consumption is of crucial importance for all electronic equipment, from notebooks to PDAs to cellphones. Chi-Ping Hsu, Corporate Vice President and Chief Strategist (Products & Technologies), Cadence Design Systems, Inc., spoke about the Power Forward initiative, launched in May 2006 in collaboration with 9 semiconductor companies. This initiative by the industry is working towards adopting a new automated design infrastructure aimed at reducing chip power consumption.
