Literacy for women: A bridge from
misery to hope

If you can read the words on this you may not know that illiteracy kills. But this article is to
show you up to what extend it exist. Education is the crucial factor for achieving sustainable
development. For developing nations such as India, the pre-occupation of imparting
compulsory education should not only be focused on our heroes, but also be extended upon
our she-roes. The test for whether or not one can get education should not be the arrangement
of their chromosomes. The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world. But two-third of
illiterate adults is women. To deny a woman her education, is to deny her justice. Girls in
India attend primary school roughly in the same number as boys. But the gap widens as they
grow older. It is shocking to know that out of school drop-outs, 62% were girls who make
two-third of illiterate population aged between 15 and 24 year of age. There is no point
campaigning about human development without engaging a proper development framework
in women literacy. “If you educate a man you educate an individual, however, if you educate
a woman you educate a whole family”, a well known saying by our first prime minister,
NEHRU, which still remains to be deficient even after 67 years of development measures
taken by our independent government. Though the World Bank upgraded India from “poor”
to middle income country, UK on the other hand announced that it would end its financial aid
to India come 2015, citing unclear conditions. Even though our government has been
imposing a couple of acts regarding female education over decades, why does this
discrimination still prevail in critical level? From the researches undertaken and monitored,
the concerns raised have quoted many scandalous issues. Among those, the most outraging
reason is harassment of school-going girls which when comes into light literally bans them
from going back to school most of the time. Some of the other issues that have been sited
include over-crowding of classrooms, absentee teachers, unsanitary conditions and teachers
who lack qualification. Due to these girls are either married off or forced to stay at home to
help with the chores. The problem of child marriage in India is a complex one because of
religious traditions, social practices, economic factors and blind beliefs. The status of girl
child in India, particularly with reference to early marriages, remains dismal. It has shown
little inclination to abate and has decreased only marginally. The practice is still prevalent in
many parts of rural India, particularly in and around the States of Rajasthan. Dowry is one of
the key reasons for the existence of this practice. It has been observed that in many cases,
greater dowry is demanded from parents of older girls. In 2001, one in four adolescent girls
aged 15-19 were already married. Studies from a number of countries suggest that a year of

schooling will increase a woman’s future earnings by about 15%, compared with 11% for
man. This article is not just about informing the readers about the status of women literacy
but also about participation of young India to dilute gender bias that is currently
predominating. Even after all these years of qualified education we have acquired, it will still
remain as a lapse if we don’t chip in to mend this flaw. Rise up your voice not so you can
shout but so that those without a voice can be heard. We cannot succeed with half of us held
back.

BE CREATIVE

What was the news that grabbed the headlines recently and was the cynosure
of all eyes? Yes it was sundar pichai's promotion to the CEO port at Google.one might
wonder what made this young lad a cut above the rest. Intelligence studies? Work
commitment? No. Above all it was his 'Creative' that did the talking creativity rules today's
world. young innovations and entrepreneurs attribute creativity as their success. Creativety
literally means “Thinking Out Of The Box”. Everyone has the potential to come out with
innovative ideas. But success is only for the those who strikes to give life to the ideas.

All of us have admired the Vodafone ADs that we come across in the
televisions. Every Ad had a new concept. This was all because of the man called Rajiv
Rao,the creative director behind these ads who once struggled to come up with ideas for his
ad agencies and ultimately his unique ideas did many favours.

ideas are killes by people themselves when they think that it is
impossible.Bringing our creativity into existence is really a hard process.It is really pain-
stalking.It certainly requies the worth of your patience depending on the intensity of you
creativity.The time spent on working out your ideas will certainly prove to be a success one
day or the other.Therefore what the world requires from you is a piece of your idea which are
fragments which help in taking the world to the next level.

"It Is Impossible To Explain Creativity

It's Like Asking a Bird

How Do You Fly

You Just do !!"

COMPUTER Poem

Here's an easy game to play.
Here's an easy thing to say.

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort.
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash.
Then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house
Says the network is connected to the button on the mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
And your screen is all distorted by the side affects of Gauss,
So your icons in the windows are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,

And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC.

Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM.

Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom!

My Computer

My Computer, My Friend
It seems that my computer
Is becoming my best friend,
We talk from early morn' and through the day,
I tell her my ambitions
And my many thoughts and dreams,
She listens to the things I have to say.

I'd been to visit once before,
She lives at 9 'Hard Drive',
I knew by 'Memory" I could find her house, I came upon her residence
And looked in at the 'Windows',
And there she sat as quiet as a 'Mouse'.

We hadn't much to say that time, For we were very shy,
We watched a 'Program', sitting on her couch,
It wasn't ergonomic,
It was really kind of 'Floppy',
I tried to sit up straight and not to slouch.

The next time that I visited,
She seemed to have a 'Virus',
And so I thought I wouldn't stay too long,
But then she offered me some 'Port'
And Lay's potato 'Chips',
And then we played a simple game of Pong.

So now we are like lovers,
And we hate to be apart,
My love for her I'll never put at risk,
She is my inspiration,
And she gives me all my 'Drive',
I'll write my hopes and dreams upon her 'Disk'

This is the Monitor
Our work we can see.
This is the Mouse
it doesn’t eat cheese.

This is the Keyboard
with numbers and letters on the Keys .
These are the Head phones
be careful please.

This is the C.P.U.
its brains we will use today.
Put all these parts together,
get ready it is time to Play.

BEYOND POSITIVE THINKING

When someone expresses his anger towards us, or speaks in a belittling way, what should we do? The
answers to such questions can be found in this incident from the life of Buddha. Once Buddha went to
beg with his disciple Ananda. When they approached a house for food, the lady of the house spoke
harshly. ‘You lazy fellows! You are hale and healthy….. Why can’t you work for food?’ she yelled
and chased them away. The disciple was enraged at the woman that she used such hostile words on
his great Guru.

‘Please permit me to teach that woman a solid lesson…’ he pleaded with Buddha. But Buddha walked
away in silence.

A little later, Buddha handed over his water container to Ananda and went to take rest.

Having rested for a couple of hours they resumed their journey. On the way, Buddha glanced at the
water container and asked. ‘Whose is this?’ ‘It is yours Guriji’ said Ananda. Buddha took it and
looked at it once and returned it to Ananda saying, ‘No, I gifted it to you a little ago.. It is yours.’ At
night, Buddha pointed to the same water container and asked once again, ‘Whose is this?’ Now
Ananda said, ‘Guriji, it is mine!’

Hearing this, Buddha said laughingly, ‘I asked you the same question earlier this evening and you said
it was yours. Now you are saying, it is mine. How can the same container be yours and mine at the
same time?’

Though Ananda was slightly confused, he replied calmly, ‘Guriji, you said that you have gifted this
container to me and I accepted it. Hence I said that it was mine. Initially, when you gave it to me I did
not consider it as mine, because, even though you had handed over the container to me, it was still
yours!’

Buddha smiled at Ananda and said, ‘Similarly, I did not take the words the lady spoke harshly as
mine; I did not accept them. So, even though the words were spoken at me, they still belong to the
lady alone. That is the reason I said that there was no need to teach her a lesson.’

The advice from Buddha to his disciple expounds a simple truth. If someone calls us ‘lazy’ we get
affected by that word only when we take it to be ours. If we are clearly and firmly aware that we are
not lazy, what that person says about us is just nonsense. ‘Nonsense’ would never affect us. In that we
would not pay any heed to a person who speaks nonsense!

If someone calls me lazy and I am deeply affected, it only reflects on my true nature of being lazy.
The quality in me is pointed out by others. This is the root cause for getting affected. This gives rise to
blood pressure and tension.

Dr.D.Kalyanakumar, Professor, EEE dept

Enhancing will power

Will power can be described as the power to control something or to restrain one’s impulses, or as
the ability to resist short –term temptations to achieve long-term goals.

It also includes the capacity to override unwanted thoughts, feelings or impulses, the ability to
employ a cam, cognitive system of behavior rather than an emotional one and conscious regulation of the
self by self.

Will power is manifested in many ways: as courage, determination, perseverance, sustained focus
and steadfast adherence to principles.

Many people believe they could improve their lives if they had more willpower – they would eat
right, exercise regularly, avoid tobacco, alcohol and drugs, save more money, stop procrastinating, and
achieve all kinds of noble goals.

In a survey carried out by the American Psychological Association, more than a quarter of the
respondents said that lack of will power was the biggest barrier to change.

They were right about the value of willpower. Studies have found that students who rank high on
self control have been found to be more important than IQ in predicting student’s academic success.

The benefits of willpower go beyond school and college. Long term studies tracking the behavior
of people have found that those with more self-control have better physical and mental health, fewer
substance-abuse problems, fewer criminal convictions, and more financial security.

Great personalities like Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela, the explorer Christopher
Columbus, the physicist Stephen Hawking, and countless other known and unknown individuals have
been able to face severe trials and overcome huge odds because of their willpower, which gave them
strength of character.

So why are some people able to achieve their goals while others are not? What stops individuals
from making the right choices even when they know the consequences of their decisions? Why are some
of us unable to stick to a course of action that will ultimately bring benefit, and instead are driven off
track by things that look appealing but are of little value? On the other hand, why are some people able to
do the right thing at the right time, even when it is not easy to do so?

When we think about it we find that willpower or the lack of it is lined to many other qualities. If
it is better for me to keep quiet in a particular situation, I will be able to do so if I have inner peace,
patience, tolerance and humility, and use them to stay calm. But if I lack these qualities, I may be driven
by anger, ego or self-righteous indignation to speak my mind and make matters worse.

Similarly, the ability to discern the real value of things enables me to make the right choices.
Should I spend my evenings for the next few months doing coursework and preparing for my exams so
that I get grades that will assure me of a good job, or should I take time off to watch my favorite cricket
match? My decision will be based on what I value more – the momentary thrill of watching my team play
or a good job in future?

If someone who is faint-hearted needs to undergo surgery to live, his decision on whether to go
under the surgeon’s knife will be based on how much courage he has. If the mere thought of his body
being cut open horrifies him, he may end up inviting an early death.

When we exercise will power we are asserting the positive traits within us to overcome harmful
or irrational habits and tendencies. So if we acquire good qualities and strengthen those we already have it
will become easier for us to regulate our lives.

How can we do that?

One way is to make conscious effort to become more calm and rational, and to take considered
decisions rather than emotional or impulsive ones. This effort itself needs will power. But when we
develop the habit of watching our thoughts and emotions and identifying why they are arising, we
gradually get the ability to control them.

Some people call such monitoring of one’s mind a form of meditation. But there is a more
powerful way to meditate, which empowers and ultimately gives us mastery over the self. It is called Raj
yoga, a practice in which we remind ourselves of our true identity – that we are souls, not bodies – and
then remember God, who is the father of all souls.

The power of the Almighty flows into the soul through this mental link, strengthening the
qualities of purity, peace, love, truth and happiness, which are intrinsic to the soul. When this happens,
the soul is easily able to resist harmful desires and change damaging habits.

Conversely, if we surrender to our negative traits, we are depleted of willpower. Dependencies,
prejudices and weaknesses in character all rob us of willpower. This is why those addicted to drugs,
alcohol or any pernicious habit or trait go into a downward spiral and end up being enslaved by their
weakness.

But our progress begins the moment we decide to change. When we take that first step of
courage, we start receiving the gold wishes of the self and others, and subtle help from God. Good wishes
act like a tailwind, easing and speeding up our progress in any noble venture, and another way to earn
them is serving others. The more we employ our talents, time, energy or wealth in the service of others
the greater our store of blessings becomes.

But it is not enough to acquire willpower; we must also know where and how to use it. This is
where the positive qualities of the soul come in. without these qualities, willpower misguided by ego,
greed, anger or hatred will bring about our downfall, as history has shown in the case of tyrants
anddictators.

Wakeup Call................

Everyone starts, few finish

Everyone aspires, few achieve.

For everyone who wants to be someone
Erase your boundaries, create your own workspace
To reach higher, we must fuel the fire.
When the sky is our ceiling, oceans aren’t still deep;
Deeper must be our thoughts; Deeper must be our actions
When goal is our end, success becomes our friend.
Let’s give our future the shape it deserves
We are not on a journey, but on a voyage.
When our life needs a definition; Life needs an action;
Sleep needs a stop; we must wake up;
Dreams arise when we are asleep but come true only when we wakeup.
Let us define our desire, design our destiny.
Break the Blitz; Have ..................
Miles to go before we sleep; Miles to go before we sleep

Out of Box Thinking
One might have happened to come across this phrase “out of box thinking” some time or other. It is
always quoted by leaders, one need out of box solutions for some of the most thronging problems of
the society. This phrase is also most often used in technical/engineering field as well, emphasizing and
encouraging the need of out of box solutions for engineering problems. Innovation is normally very
much linked with out of box. Innovation refers to one that is something new, that which didn’t exist. So
what is this out of box?
Every individual have his/her own data base gathered over years with all possible means. This
accumulation of knowledge, which is refereed here as the data base, is very much related to ones
experience, higher the experience, more gathering and more storage in the box. Consider a real life
engineering problem, given to a fresh graduate and an experienced person. The fresh graduate is
expected to approach the problem by applying all his learning’s step by step and might arrive at a
solution. Whereas the experienced one could easily skip the entire step and arrive at a solution just by
intuition that comes out of experience. In other words, his/her database has a solution set for the
particular problem encountered. This can be referred to as within the box. But whenever it is referred as
a box, it is always limited, however big it may be, the size could vary from person to person, but still it
has a boundary and it is limited.
Hence out of box thinking/solution can be referred to as one that doesn’t come out of this data base
gathered over years based on experience. It is something out of the box (gathered data base). People
looking for out of box solution means that, what is inside the box is not sufficient. But it’s normally a
human tendency to get biased with this existing data base, which acts as a huddle to think out of box.
But the fresher doesn’t possess this problem, they are not biased with these vast storage. Henceforth it
is normally told young minds are the one most preferred for innovation. So it’s an obvious expectation
that the fresher’s will exploit this strength to the maximum possible extent. It is always considered wise
to work based on their strength. So applying basic learning’s for solving real life problems could be
expected that, it will certainly lead to growth. When it is a box, there is boundary, if it is out of box,
then it is boundless. This might be a choice each one has and it’s up to individual discretion to make use
of this choice.

PARADOX
The state of today’s scenario in the world around us shows there is a huge amount of work to
be done to set it right. But everyone complains there is less work opportunity. This statement is
an example for anyone who wants to understand the meaning of Paradox. There are more
examples to follow.
The continuing trend of widening academia-industry gap, poses a threat to the
development of society at large. In the existing scenario, it is a well known and commonly
accepted fact, that there exists a huge gap between the industry and academia in our country.
There could be some exceptions in case of IIT’s, NIT’s and few other reputed institutions, but

the massive bunch of other self financing colleges hugely suffers on this gap. Consequently
industries were not able to perform the recruitment fulfilling their intended requisites. Despite
the fact India has one of the largest higher education systems in the world comprising of 700
plus universities, 35,000 plus colleges and numerous stand-alone technical/professional
institutions with annual enrolment in excess of 25 million students. Multiple surveys conducted
by different organizations conclude that significant percentages of the students are not
employable. But in all these surveys, that which is referred as industries includes IT and IT
enabled service sectors and other few big core industries and MNC’s.
Millions of students graduating from the engineering colleges
are chasing towards thousands of jobs offered by IT and othe
More importantly the Micro small and medium scale enterprises (MSME) sector is not a
part of this survey at all. MSMEs play a pivotal role in the overall industrial development of the
country and they have been the significant contributor to the national income, with their huge
involvement in country's industrial production, exports, etc. It is an interesting fact that the
second largest sector in our country that provides employment to people next to agriculture is
MSME. Thus, this sector has been regarded a priority status by both the Central and the State
Governments. In spite of this MSME faces multiple issues for its day-day survival and growth.
The human talents coming out of the educational institutions are of far reach for the MSME. On
the other hand only a few percentage of the students graduating from engineering institutions
lands up with a job. The above is a yet another example of a paradox situation.
It is interesting to observe that the self financing engineering institutions and the MSME
have an important stake in the development of each other. It makes sense to think out of box
in establishing ones career in a meaningful manner.

Does "Positive Thinking" Really Make Our Lives Better?
You've heard the self-help gurus who say positive thoughts
can bring us happiness, wealth, and success. But there's another side to the story. Here's why
positive thinking often backfires — and why many of us are starting to resent it.
Positive thinking is that spin we put on life and all its hardships. Instead of getting mired down
in doom-and-gloom thinking, many of us work to adopt a more positive outlook and work
under the assumption that the best is going to happen.
This kind of thinking typically starts with self-talk — the inner narrative of unspoken thoughts
that run through our heads. Over the course a day, these semi-automatic thoughts vary in
terms of their positive and negative intensity depending on any number of factors. Some of this
self-talk arises from logic and reason, while others are instigated by misconceptions, stress,
biases, the influence of others, and even hormonal triggers. Proponents of positive thinking say
it's important for us to be aware of our negative thoughts so that we can replace it with a more
positive frame.
Studies do indeed show that there are many positive social and health benefits to be had by
adopting such thinking, but there's a danger in taking this idea too far, or in overstating its
potential to meaningfully change our lives. As we're learning, many of the claims made by
positive thinking gurus are exaggerated. Some attempts to apply positive thinking can even
backfire. And worse, they can even be construed as a form of victim blaming at the expense of
recognizing larger structural problems.
Research done last decade shows our attitudes can have a profound effect on our longevity.
Yale University social psychologist Becca Levy found that people with a sunny, optimistic
outlook on growing older live longer than those who are constantly worrying. Those who feel
bad about growing old, on the other hand, experience an accelerated aging process. Negative
attitudes serve as health risks akin to smoking and excessive alcohol use.Other studies showing
that positive thinking can also translate to better memory and even sharper hearing.
Shockingly, a follow-up survey revealed that the more positively we had imagined ourselves in
these scenarios, the fewer pounds what we had lost. Since then, has conducted a number of
similar studies — and all researchers point to the same result: Fantasizing about happy
outcomes hinders people from realizing their dreams.
"The problem with merely dreaming about the future and imagining that we've reached this

desired future is that we're already imagining being there — and that saps our energy to
actually understand the obstacles and hindrances that are on the way to our reaching this
positive future,". "So, we don't put in enough effort to go the hard way and deal with all the
hindrances and temptations, and we also don't plan for it. Then, when life hits, we are often
unprepared."
Instead of fantasizing about an unrealistic future, we should use a technique called "mental
contrasting" — a hybrid approach the combines positive thinking with realism.
"The idea behind mental contrasting is that you imagine a desired future, and then you
experience that desired future in your mind. In that way, it is like dreaming about the future,".
"That gives you direction — but it's not enough."
we need to understand what's holding us back, and what actually stops us from achieving our
goals. We need to figure out what's standing in our way and what's preventing us from going all
the way.
"By understanding what your obstacle is,"you will get the energy to overcome that obstacle."
Essentially, mental contrasting works by connecting our future to reality. Or more accurately, it
connects the reality and the instrumental means to overcome the reality, thus changing the
meaning of reality so that the reality is now an obstacle.
By imagining success or the attainment of a goal, and then thinking about the feasibility of
achieving that goal and all the obstacles that stand in the way, we come away being more
realistic, more energized, and more likely to succeed.It works to serve the benefit of the privileged,
especially those who are already experiencing"positivelives."

Prevailing Situation and the Possibilities Ahead

It is very important for anyone to realize where he/she is standing if he/she wants to move

forward. A clear understanding of the terrain is very much essential to navigate through it.

Hence it makes sense for the student community, especially the engineering student

community to have an understanding on the prevailing situations, which will help the students

to prepare accordingly to find a way out. The most important of above all is a vision on where

one wants to reach and willingness with strong commitment to move forward in that direction.

This article intend to address the below
• Information on prevailing situation

• Exposure to wide open possibilities
• Destination – Chance or Choice?

Glimpse of Higher Education in India

According to the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), only about 18-19 per

cent of our population in the age group of 18-23 years is enrolled in higher education and a

mere 6 per cent of this group are graduates with degrees. India has a large number of

higher education institutions in the world, with 700 universities and 36000 colleges, as per
UGC’s Higher Education at a Glance document. At 25 million, the number of students

enrolled in higher education is the second largest globally. However, the GER at 19.4 per

cent, as per All India Survey on Higher Education, MHRD, 2010-11 (Provisional), is low

compared to other countries, including developing countries.

Prevailing Institute-Industrial atmosphere

Recently National Association of Software & Services Companies (NASSCOM) and other
private firms surveyed that only 25% of graduates in India are employable. Further ,
employers in India report the third highest talent shortage globally, with as many as 64 per
cent of employers facing difficulty finding candidates with the right skills to fill open
positions, according to a survey by US-based consultancy Manpower Group. According to
the survey of more than 37,000 employers in 42 countries and territories, employers in
Japan report the greatest talent shortage globally (81 per cent), followed by Peru (67 per
cent) and India (64 per cent). Furthermore, the top 10 jobs for which it is most difficult to
get candidates in the Asia Pacific region include engineers, sales representatives, skilled
trades, accounting & finance staff, sales managers, technicians, IT staff, management
executive, researchers (R&D) and production operators/machine Operators, as per the
survey.
Possibilities Ahead
The expectation of industry (IT or a Core engineering sector) from any graduated engineer is
strong foundation on basic engineering concepts in the particular domain, upon which
anything could be built. Also important is the capability to apply his/her learning’s. One
needs to understand, it has become very scarce to find such a candidate. If one can prepare
oneself with such in depth understanding of basic engineering concepts, then he/she is
most sought after and in the current scenario, there are no competitors for such real
talents. Everyone who thinks IT sector is the only destiny, shall realize the fact that millions
of students are chasing for thousands of jobs in those sectors. Does it mean, anyone should
not aspire to become a software professional? The answer is certainly not. But students
shall realize, that’s not the only destiny to aspire for...Is there any other chance apart from
IT? For those who ask this question, will have a chance to explore greater possibilities
MSME

Micro small and medium scale enterprises (MSME) play a pivotal role in the overall
industrial development of the country and they have been the significant contributor to the
national income, with their huge involvement in country's industrial production, exports,
etc. It is an interesting fact that the second largest sector in our country that provides
employment to people next to agriculture is MSME. The human talents coming out of the
educational institutions are of far reach for the MSME. On the other hand only a few
percentage of the students graduating from engineering institutions lands up with a job.
The above is one of the paradox situations, one encounter in this society.
Entrepreneur
The state and the central government have initiated multiple schemes to encourage
entrepreneurship ventures. More number of entrepreneurs is the need of the hour for this
country to progress. What one need is, out of box thinking, vision and willingness to

flourish. For those who have such desire with fire a great support system is in place in the
department of EEE as well as in this institution to groom such talents.
Institute Initiatives
• Resolve to revive the natural interest for learning to flourish, by giving proper space and
providing conducive atmosphere
• Focus on strong foundation with in depth understanding of basics during initial years
• Focus on Application of learning during later years
• Encourage to solve simple real time engineering problems by conducting suitable contest
with encouraging prizes, spreading over the entire semester with different levels, in area
very much relevant to the current/previous semester curriculum, which would strengthen
interest for the subject by the student
• Exposure to alternative possibilities after graduation, and encouraging entrepreneurship
with proper means
• Encourage Real Talents by appropriate differentiation in all possible means without
indulging in any discrimination
Possibility to Reality
To reach the destiny, one should realize the need of moving step by step rather than simply
dreaming of the final target. . If one wants to move forward, he/she should take the first
step. If one wants to take the first step his/her feet should be in ground. And if one
concentrates on the current step he/she is taking, then reaching the destiny will be a
natural consequence.
Destiny – Choice or chance
For anyone who has a vision to think beyond and the willingness along with strong
commitment to move in that direction, destiny will be a certain choice.
In conclusion, if the students have the Commitment to develop self and contribute to the
development of department, institution and society at large, meeting the challenges can
be still a reality…
For anyone who feels confused after reading this article, shall realize, it is
better to remain confused (which retains the possibility to explore further
and get the clarity) rather than jumping to a wrong conclusion.
The institution will lend the helping hand and
ensure, the students are moving on the right
track, but what is needed from students is
willingness to move forward and efforts in
that direction, rather than expecting someone
to airlift him/her to the target location.
