Yesterday VNIT Nagpur held an event about a talk and discussion about 'The Zeitgeist Movement'

The topic of discussion was regarding the philosophy of the American futurist Jacque Fresco - the acclaimed "Zeitgeist Movement" and Fresco's The Venus Project , which is a 21-acre research centre is located near Lake Okeechobee, USA.

The event began with a briefing by Mr. Rishi Gangoly, the Indian Chapter Co-ordinator of TZM, which was followed by screening of the movie 'Future By Design'

    Interesting to know about this. Could you inform us a bit about the Zeitgiest Movement and how engineers can contribute to it? Maybe it'd be a good idea to have Mr. Gangoly to share some information on this.

    The founder of this philosophy and the complete Zeitgeist Movement, Mr. Fresco is known as a social engineer. A lot of information for anyone who wants to be an activist of this idea is available at their global website, here: #-Link-Snipped-#
