A Centre for Geomatics, the first of its kind in the combined state of Andhra Pradesh, was established in the college, owing to his efforts.

Dr. Sridhar is actively involved in various activities to promote engineering education. For over two decades, he organized and coordinated the value-added course on Geomatics for Civil Engineering students. He conducted twenty-four-hour traffic surveys from Charminar to Balanagar to implement the Light Rail Transit System. In collaboration with SATNAV, he worked on the following projects related to Geomatics and Transportation Engineering:

  • Digital database creation for intelligent transportation systems
  • GIS applications – Hospital information system
  • Educational Institute information system
  • GIS based model on AP tourism information system

He was instrumental in conducting traffic flow studies at Lakdikapul Junction. His studies led to the installation of traffic signals at the Lakdikapul Junction, leading to regularized and improved traffic flow. He was also instrumental in the formation of Transport Studies Group under the stewardship of Prof S. Raghavacharywith a service motto to improve the traffic conditions for the people of twin cities Hyderabad and Secunderabad.
