Interesting day of the season

It was an interesting and satisfying day. I enjoyed talking about my views with regard to standards in higher education. Conclusion is yet to be made within a few days concerning my role in future.
I am overjoyed as our research paper with my Ph.D. student, Ms Vidula Ahire was accepted for publication in European J.of Biotechnology and Bioscience. In my view it is a good contribution for advancement of knowledge involving p53 in the mechanism of cellular apoptosis.

Invited to be Chief Guest in the Launching Function of IIHT at Allahabad

I was excited to inaugurate the  launching ceremony of the career- centric  Indian Institute of Hardware Technology ( IIHT) program at Allahabad at 6.30 pm. A large number of students and parents were present. Other Guests on dais were shri Rajesh Yadav, City Magistrate of Allahabad, shri Devrath Kumar, Employment Officer, Mrs Shilpi Ganguly, Director, DLS( Daksha Learning Solution), Mr Joy Ganguly, MD, DLS, Dr RP Ojha, Coordinator, DLS  and others. I emphasized the need for training of students after graduation especially engineering graduates to bridge the gap between college level teaching and industry's requirement. The course that is being launched offers vast opportunity to prepare students for job market. Presently, only 25 % engineering graduates are employable which means we have to work for remaining 75 % students who are as such unemployable. The syllabus of engineering colleges is outdated and knowledge in technology is rapidly growing. The gap needs to be bridged by providing new opportunity. Cloud technology learning provided by IIHT is most appropriate as it opens placement opportunities for students. I pointed out that mostly students feel disappointed after coming out from colleges as the demands of industry move forward rapidly and they find college pass out students mostly unfit for the job Therefore, we have to make engineering and other graduate students ready for use by industry.
