What is the relevance, if hundreds of MBA graduates to manage and large multinational corporations, products and services for ordinary citizens can not buy, because they are poor?

The Institute for Planning and Management (IIPM), MBA-degree (two years full-time during the planning and entrepreneurship) and BBA level (three years full-time when planning the programme and the spirit of company), where the emphasis is on the prosperity of the economy.

“Policies and academics, intellectuals too. There is no economy without the prosperity of the economy,” says Professor Arindam Chaudhuri, dean of IIPM. “This is an MBA / MA (Economics). Manager without adequate knowledge of the economy remains a mental handicap, “he adds.

A qualified engineer seek a better life for farmers. That’s Apoorva Oza, CEO, Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP). And he works now for the last 16 years.

Oza has worked since 1988 in the districts of Surendranagar, Narmada, Junagadh and Kachchh. He believes that farmers should be motivated to work in groups, institutions and cooperatives, it would reduce their burden.

After the mechanical construction, Oza received a Post-Graduate Studies at the Institute of Rural Management, Anand (IRMA).

“After the course, I had a job to AKRSP. Entschloss I am at work on village development and promotion of the use of modern irrigation systems.

“No institution can develop and grow without the support of many individuals and organization partner,” Oza said. “To help farmers, I am well trained and agriculture experts and engineers in these sectors, so they can guide farmers and assist them with technical know-how. It so happens that, for them, that my burden reduced. I do not believe, as part of my job. It is my interest and thanked him, I appreciate everything.

Oza is of the opinion that the lack of knowledge on modern techniques of irrigation contributes significantly farmers unfortunate economic conditions. “Due to frequent power outages, there is a lack of water approximately 40 per cent. Should we therefore have little time on new techniques that can be useful and make them less dependent on rain.”

One of the techniques that it intends to contribute to the promotion of drip irrigation - an effective, but costly. “Drop by drop compared to other techniques is one of the best ways to solve the problem of water scarcity that the quantity of water to take a less is quite. It is necessary to reach directly Part of the annex, “he says. But this system is relatively little used.

“This is because the structure of this system is quite complicated and, therefore, it is difficult for farmers to understand. Maintenance costs also seems quite high, since only a few engineers like rural areas and to repair machines. ”

Oza is of the opinion that awareness among farmers, a long way to go in promoting drip irrigation. “If a farmer, he is familiar with the system indicates that other, it is accepted within their community.”

Oza now plans to extend its work in these four districts and provides for work in Madhya Pradesh. He also worked in the affected areas, such as earthquakes Kachchh also went by long periods of drought in recent years. In these areas, the organization focused on the construction of structures harvest water entry and agriculture.

He hoped that his efforts will give better results in the fields. As he said: “Our motto is - more crop per drop”.

Having established as a leader in the field of information systems, e-learning and knowledge management systems areas, the Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management-Kerala (IIITM-K) is now a research Moving in embedded systems and micro-electronics.

As a first step in this direction, the Institute is the establishment of a system board and Laboratory would soon begin an online course for interested students, professionals KR Srivathsan, director.

Academic Institutions use a heterogeneous computing environment and therefore Sun strict compliance with open standards, is an asset. “In addition, they provide significant discounts for academic institutions for equipment and almost all its software free for academic use. They also take charge of Linux. Our ultimate goal is a Sun Center of Excellence in IIITM-K. Thus, approximately 30 such centers throughout the world. It will spur us on the implementation of the advanced knowledge society, campus initiatives for the future, “he added.

The National Institute for Technology Kochi and Kozhikode University for Science and Technology are among those already included, as resource centres EduGrid. “We will soon, they are content for equipping laboratories and launches Web-based, of course, the content management systems for development and teacher training. IIITM-K EduGrid acts as a centre of operations and is also a resource centre, “says Professor Srivathsan.

The infrastructure of these centres is now completed the first phase. “She is the host of the EduGrid backbone network nodes, is a high-end server EduGrid all serve to ensure that all students and teachers in the institutions of the host. They are also a content server for the development of systems, including content development tools software. ”

The Indian Institute of Technology and the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, cooperation with the EduGrid a project on the informal level. They are part of the national programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL), whose objective is the development of teaching materials for 100 courses. These are more content as “wholesale”. Grid is the formation of such content to pack “Retail” distribution for other equally good content from institutions abroad, give lessons, teachers and help the presentation of content properly adapted to local plans for teaching higher education institutions in their normal course.

On ERNET discussions with India for setting up the network backbone of the grid, “said Professor Srivathsan last was probably the work begins in the next two months for the creation of the backbone. “We must bear in mind that the Union Ministry of Human Resources provides grants for All India Technical Education Council approved by the academic institutions and the library of the Commission Grant’s Indian National Digital Library in science and technology (INDEST) digital library ERNET only by initiatives “.
