Last Sunday, Delhi remained indoors most of the time. Not because it was

Sunday but it was the first day when the city shivered. The winter has arrived.

The winter that was supposed to be here in north India lot earlier today sur-

prised many with its sudden arrival. Those who were waiting to put on that

half sweater suddenly wrapped themselves into heavy coats. It was the time

to raise a toast to one of the most beauti-

ful seasons of the year. Tea with Pakoras,

longer stay in bed, and all kind of comfort.

The weather of Udaipur somewhat remains

same as that in Delhi. Joys of winter are

endless which come with a simple condition--the condition is that you have

a home which is packed from all sides. Yes, this simple luxury that we take

for granted is a super luxury for millions. We sitting at the comfort of home

wait for the winters but these people with homeless life hate it. They hate it

badly. We just need to alter our lifestyle to match with the season but these

homeless people have to face more and pinching struggle.

You get shocked to see your kid wandering bare feet inside the cosy room

and these people have to see if their kids have at least something to cover

their bare bodies. This is same for a kid of few months of few years. We,

struggle to find a matching sweater and they hardly have one.

The idea of writing and sharing this all with you is not to remind you how for-

tunate you are, because you know that very well. The entire motive of shar-

ing this comparative picture to you is to suggest you that warm clothes,

sweaters, old blankets, and quilts that you are sure will not suit or help you,

do discard them right away. Do not keep your closets occupied. Set that

space free. Now pack up these discarded clothes in a small bag and then

lock this up into the boot space of your car or simply pick one of these and

tuck into the basket or bag of your two wheeler.

Now, whenever you go out, keep an eye on deprived people who would need

that one warm cloth the most. And feel glad and great that you have done

something for which God will smile at you.

This is just one way you can easily help the real needy ones. Many of us let

our maids have all the things that we do not use. It's good and indeed is a

great help but at times we must look around too to see if there is someone

who needs our help badly and more than the maid does. Giving to a maid

since is an easy way to donate, we offer all what we have to her only. But

help itself is a way to serve God. And despite we have a temple at home,

we go out to a temple to visit the God. Similarly to meet the real needy ones

and help them directly, you will have to step out.

Many of us write a cheque to an NGO or simply order a blanket or two to an

organization and feel that we have done it. It helps indeed. But many peo-

ple are already doing that. Still when you go out any night after 9 P.M any

wintry night, you will find many deprived ones sleeping on the footpath sans

any covering. If you just cover one of them personally and quietly, the per-

son will directly be benefitted and will open a million wishes to you. There

is no need to ensure he or she sees you. But that feeling of covering a shiv-

ering body with a warm blanket is unmatched. Try and then feel that warmth

forever. Happy Giving!

"I heartily congratulate the

grandaunts of the day. We must

realize that we are entering into

a challenging VUCA world which

is volatile, uncertain, complex and

ambiguous. MNIT as an institu-

tion over the years has fully

equipped it's students with skills

and tools to deal with the chal-

lenges of the world confidently.

'Education in innovation' and

'Innovation in education' are the

dire needs of the hour. World class

universities will need to achieve

this twin goal and MNIT Jaipur

must have a dream to become a

world class institution with seam-

less integration of education,

research and innova t ion .

knowledge and Research cre-

ates new knowledge. 'Ambience

without Ambition and Ambition

without Ambience has no conse-

quences. MNIT has one of the best

campus which is fully equipped

to create bright ambitious young

talent for the nation."

Padma Vibhushan Professor

R.A Mashelkar also elaborated

on three pillars for creating world

class universities which includ-

ed, excellence, autonomy and

g o v e r n a n c e . H e s a i d ,

"Excellence- where mere teach-

ing without research is futile.

Uncompromising excellence in

both teaching and research is

important. Autonomy- where

autonomy or flexibility must flow

across the university from teach-

ers to students. Governance-

where governance structure of

Universities must change with

changing times. Transparent reg-

ulatory mechanism that ensures

accountability will instill a sense

of confidence in the academic

community and the society as

well." He shared his 10 golden

rules to success such as a)Your

aspirations are your possibilities

b) Be limitless in your imagina-

tion as there is no limite to human

endurance, human achievement

and human imagination c)There

is no substitute for hard work

d)There is no instant success e)

Success is not an accident f) Do

not wait for opportunities to know

the door, if the opportunity does

not knock, build a door g)

Remember that; Innovator is the

one who sees what everyone else

sees but thinks what no one else

think h) Continue to be creative

i) Remember, innovator is the one

who does not know that it can-

not be done j) Every India must

stand for innovation and not inhi-

bition or imitation.

Padma Shri Dr. Upendra Kaul,

Executive Director - Academics

& Research (Cardiology), Fortis

Escorts Heart Institute said, "I feel

honored and privileged to be invit-

ed for the 10th Convocation cer-

emony at MNIT, Jaipur. Being a

graduate from an esteemed insti-

tution such as MNIT, which has a

track record of repute, puts a

tremendous responsibility on the

shoulders of this young talent. It

is important that one must not for-

get to serve the people of their

own nation, living at the bottom

of the pyramid and uplift their lives

through concepts of smart cities

which have been declared by our

hon'ble Prime Minister. It is also

important that one must not neglect

the sectors already neglected

such as healthcare, education

and must build in-house technol-

ogy, infrastructure and retain the

talent that has been driven off-

shore for better opportunities. The

graduating talent must invest in

education, healthcare, R&D and

create the right atmosphere for

positive growth."

Prof. Upendra Kaul conclud-

ed by mentioning that, Work-Life-

Balance is utmost important. To

maintain these one must take

care of both the body and mind

which is most of the times neglect-

ed. He concluded with a teach-

ing from Swami Vivekanand,

'Teach yourself, teach everyone,

his/her real nature, call upon the

sleeping soul and see how it

awakes. Power will come, glory

will come, goodness will come,

purity will come and everything

that is excellent will come when

this sleeping soul is roused to self-

conscious activity which is in the

interest of the well-being of the

members of the society.'

Prof. I.K Bhatt, Director,

Malaviya National Institute of

Technology said, "I thank Padma

Vibhushan Prof. R.A Mashelkar

and Padmashri Dr. Upendra Kaul

to take time out of their sched-

ules and make their presence at

the MNIT's 10th Convocation

Ceremony. It is a prestigious

occasion where such eminent

personalities have come togeth-

er to not just grace the occasion

but their presence has also moti-

vated our students genuinely.

The institute has recruited facul-

ty from across the globe having

mer i t and th is has drawn

researchers and faculty having a

combination of merit and dili-

gence. Collaborations are crucial

to accomplish high academic

standards. These exchanges

enrich the faculty and students

to get new opportunities to inter-

act and create linkages for future

collaborations. Our faculty dele-

gations at MNIT have presented

various research papers in coun-

tries such as USA, Canada,

France, Taiwan, Korea and

Singapore. The institute's tremen-

dous focus has always been on

research and excellence in aca-

demics which has led various

global universities to sign up for

collaborations and MoUs in the

near future."

Prof. I K Bhat further added,

"The Malaviya National Institute

of Technology has various plans

and up-coming projects such as

the Vivekanand Lecture Theatre

Complex which will be opera-

tional in the next 2-3 months. The

MNIT will be building over 200 res-

idential accommodations to

accommodate new faculty mem-

bers who will be recruited. The

institute will be constructing a

complete sports complex in the

near future with an estimated pro-

ject cost of over Rs. 20 crore. We

at the MNIT shall strive to upgrade

our standards, create an envi-

ronment of learning, innovation

and entrepreneurship to provide

excellence and aim to produce

useful talent for our nation."

The p resen t in take fo r
