‘We the People…’

The national constitution of our great democracy begins with these

three beautiful words. It means empowerment and development of

the people. In a similar vein, every educational institute’s

constitution should begin with,

‘We the Students…’

It would mean empowerment and development of the students. The

primary aim of any educational institute should be based on

improvement of student centric parameters which primarily are,

Learning Outcomes & Quality.

Infrastructure & Facilities.

Governance Process.

Our institute, being a girls’ institute, has formulated a vision to

become a premier Diploma Engineering institute aiming for

empowerment of girls to excel in the outside world as well as to

serve the society. The focus is on improving learning outcomes,

quality of education and on ensuring best infrastructure in the near

future. Governance and Management are also of the highest

importance as insights help in critical structural monitoring,

especially for regularity & punctuality of both faculty and students.

As most of the government institutes in our country as well as our

state do, our institute also suffers from shortage of teaching faculty

and administrative staff, inadequacy of academic spaces like

laboratories and classrooms, insufficient and obsolete equipment,

old and dilapidated infrastructure, etc.

In the backdrop of this scenario, our collective aim should be to

enhance our unique strengths, like overall positive work culture,

meritorious students and highly qualified, motivated and committed

teaching and administrative staff.

From the Desk of the Principal

From the pen of Editor:

Stephen Dedalus’ philosophic

assertion in A Portrait of the Artist as

a Young Man comes to my mind:

“This race and this country and this

life produced me….” (p.202). How

true it is! Our existence as a Girls’

College, and particularly as a

Technical Institute, is linked

irrevocably with our people, our

society, our state and our country.

Institutions survive and prosper due

to their unflinching support, which is

what makes them what they are and

what they would be in future. This

institute has achieved many

milestones because of this constant

support.

For more than 50 years, this

institution has worked optimistically

for the total development of the

students. The achievements of the

institute, whether they belong to past

or to present, have always served the

right purpose of education, that is to

say, the physical, mental and social

development of the students. We

moulded their future in the past and

the process is in progress as we are

moulding the students not only for

the future but also we are working on

their today to make it bright and

wonderful. Therefore the institution

suggests plenty of activities to the

students for this purpose: For

instance: Academic, Co-curricular

activities, NSS, NCC, Cultural

program, Field Visits, and Study

Tour, etc.

Therefore with immense pleasure, I

wish to put forward the detail of

activities that are attained and

achievements which are

accomplished at the institute level in

the form of e-Newsletter.

Despite all our shortcomings and limitations, our focus should be on achieving our institute’s mission as

follows,

To strive for overall academic excellence and professional competence among both students and staff,

To create a conducive campus environment for exchange of ideas and knowledge

To emphasize on skill development and innovation

To make the best use of available resources & infrastructure

As the first few steps towards achieving our aforementioned objectives, our institute has already begun

adopting adequate measures towards achieving academic excellence and professional competence. For

this, we have begun to adopt stringent measures for improving our institute’s teaching-learning activities.

In addition, we have started a culture at our institute to develop an ecosystem to encourage and motivate

young and dynamic minds who want to express their creativity, innovation skills, entrepreneurship skills,

academic prowess and competitive spirit. For this, we have encouraged our students to participate actively

in both extra and co-curricular activities which include professional development and creativity workshops

as well as sports and cultural activities.

Further, under the CSR initiatives of various corporate and government organizations, we are

implementing various skills and personality development programmes for girl trainees. The idea is to

leverage the existing strengths of the college system to better training and course implementation, focus on

building capacities of the teaching faculty, enhancing and establishing industry connects as an integral

component to reinforce learning and targeting all-round development of students. These programmes will

empower young students with the essential skills to become self-reliant, with industry relevant skills thus,

enhancing their employability and connect them to relevant job opportunities.

Our institute has initiated Academia-Industry collaboration to enable students to take up meaningful

projects that are industry relevant, under the state government supported Students Start-Up Innovation

Policy (SSIP). An Entrepreneurship Cell has also been set up at the institute for encouraging and

supporting budding student entrepreneurs. Recently, we have also organized an Alumni Meet to enable

them to contribute to the overall growth of their Alma Mater.

I wish that all my dear students and staff members to avail all the opportunities being provided by our

institute and also wish them the very best in all their initiatives towards achieving overall excellence for our

institute.

Gartner Hype Cycle on Emerging Technologies: Explored

1. Introduction: Rapid development in different technologies is

possible because of cutting edge research in basic and applied

science. Hence at present, we come across many products

based on complex technologies, latest research areas and buzz

words which are very much relevant to different emerging

technologies. As an engineer one must remain professionally

competent to be able to contribute in developing sustainable

solutions with concern to environmental implications using

emerging technologies. Know how of the emerging technologies

is also very essential for business community to grab the

opportunity and for business transformation. Gartner Hype

cycle, developed and published by gartner.com, helps anybody

who is interested to know at what pace the world is adopting

emerging technologies.

The following figure 1.1 shows the hype curve and phases of

the Gartner Hype Cycle and as per this structure various

Garnter hype cycles are published every year.

Figure 1.1 Gartner Hype Cycle

From the above figure, it is very clear that there are following five overlapping stages in the Gartner Hype life cycle.

Innovation Trigger: In this stage, activities like R & D, making of laboratory prototypes related to

conceptualization of technology is considered. There may be prototypes but there are often no

functional working products or market studies. Startup companies may be formed and initial venture

capital funding may be raised to build and demonstrate proof of concepts - POC. The features of

this POC drive media interest for widespread publicity.

Staff Corner :

Dr. S. N. Sampat

Head of Department

Department of Electronics &

Communication


Peak of Inflated Expectations: The technology is implemented through first generation products by

early adopters. Usually, there is a lot of publicity about both pros and cons of this first generation

product implementation.

Trough of Disillusionment: There is a possibility of widespread disappointment in the market due to

some faults in the first generation products and failure in finding the remedy. This results in very less

acceptance and hence many producers drop their products based on this emerging technology.

However, few producers address these problems successfully and continue their investment in the

product based on this emerging technology.

Slope of Enlightenment: Large number of companies realizes the potential of the emerging

technology. Hence these companies invest to develop new innovative applications and next

generations of the products.

Plateau of Productivity: The technology is widely implemented in the market through products and

applications with wide range of features. This creates the need for defining the Standards for

evaluating technology providers.

2. The Gartner Hype cycle for the year 2019: Gartner hype cycle of emerging technologies of year 2019,

shown in figure 1.2., is prepared on the basis of detailed study of about 2000 different technologies.

Figure 1.2: Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, Year 2019

The 2019 Gartner Hype Cycle clearly shows the next five to 10 years impact of the emerging technologies

on business and society. This year includes technologies that promise to deliver a global low-latency

internet, create a virtual map of the real world and mimic human creativity.

This year, following twenty nine technologies are included in the list of the Hype Cycle for emerging

technologies:

3D sensing cameras: This technology has a wide variety of applications like augmented reality (AR)

applications, driving assistance systems, gesture recognition, factory automation and authentication. For

enhanced recognition and reaction capabilities, these applications need powerful processing power and

advanced software and algorithms.

Adaptive ML: Many algorithms are adaptive or have adaptive variants, which usually mean that the algorithm

parameters are automatically adjusted according to statistics in run time environment, which is particularly

useful for autonomous systems such as radar, self-driving vehicles and smart robots.


AR cloud: The Augmented Reality Cloud –AR Cloud is a real-time three dimensional map of the world,

overlaid onto the real world. It enables information and experiences to be augmented, shared, and tied to

specific physical locations to occur and persist across apps and devices. This innovation will embed a

persistent, digital content layer to objects and locations in the physical world and helps to provide a digital

twin of the physical world that can be augmented with information and virtual objects.

Augmented Intelligence: Use of algorithms based only on artificial intelligence may result in severe errors.

Augmented intelligence focuses on cognitive technology to enhance human intelligence rather than replace it

by AI and hence it accelerates human performance in cognitive tasks.

Decentralized autonomous organization (DAO): This type of organization is based on block chain technology

and engages itself in business interactions with other digital agents and corporate entities without

conventional human interventions.

Decentralized web: This is a new stack of technologies for the development of decentralized web

applications that enable users to control their own identity and enables true peer-to-peer transactions without

any dependency on centralized platforms.

DigitalOps: This facilitates the automation aspects of business process management and emergence of the

digital ecosystem for rapid development and adaptation of dynamic, real time, scalable business products

and applications. It integrates decision management and event processing with agile methodologies for

continuous delivery of business improvement in applications.

Edge analytics: Edge analytics is the collection, processing, and analysis of data at the edge of a network

either at or close to a sensor, a network switch or some other connected device to increase privacy/security

and optimize the local resources.

Emotion AI: Emotion AI is a subset of AI. It analyzes the emotional state of a user via computer vision,

audio/voice input, sensors and/or software logic. Hence technology is more sympathetic to users’ emotional

states. There are wide range of applications like market research, fraud detection, medical diagnoses, Video

gaming, education, employee safety, patient care, car safety, autonomous car, recruiting, call center

intelligent routing, connected homes and adapting learning.

Explainable AI: Explainable AI (XAI) refers to tools, frameworks, methods and techniques in the application

of artificial intelligence technology (AI) such that the results of the solution can be understood by human

experts to determine when to trust the AI and when the AI should be distrusted. XAI has been researched in

many sectors, including - Neural Network Tank imaging, Antenna Design , Algorithmic Trading (high-

frequency trading), Medical Diagnoses, Autonomous Vehicles, Computer Vision, Text analytics etc.

Generative adversarial networks (GANs): A generative adversarial network (GAN) is a class of machine

learning systems. Given a training set, this technique learns to generate new data with the same statistics as

the training set. For example, a GAN trained on photographs can generate new photographs that look at

least superficially authentic to human observers, having many realistic characteristics.

Graph analytics: Graph Algorithms or Graph Analytics are analytic tools used to determine strength and

direction of relationships between objects in a graph. The focus of graph analytics is on pair wise relationship

between two objects at a time and structural characteristics of the graph as a whole. Applications of Graph

Analytics include clustering, partitioning, search, shortest path solution, widest path solution, finding

connected components, and page rank. Graphics Processing Unit accelerates the data-intensive analytics

and graph analytics in particular.

Immersive workspaces: Immersive workspaces are collaborative 3D work environments that convey a sense

of real-world presence through the use of visual (virtual reality [VR], augmented reality [AR], and mixed

reality [MR]), auditory, haptics and other sensory elements. These will create real enterprise application as


organizations are increasingly coming up with new ways of working and thinking directly in line with business

objectives.

Light-cargo delivery drones: These types of drones are flying, or wheeled, autonomous vehicles used to

deliver small packages (about 10 kg), including food or medical supplies. Light-cargo delivery via drones will

reduce costs and improves in time-sensitive last-mile deliveries. The core technology of light delivery drones

is very advanced but its usage and applications are constrained by certain security, business and

governance regulations.

Low-earth-orbit satellite systems: These systems are 500 to 1200 km above earth surface and can provide

low-latency( average32 milliseconds), high-speed global broadband or narrowband voice and data network

services, in the regions with little or no existing terrestrial or satcom coverage. There are about 780 active

satellites in Low Earth Orbit according to UCS Satellite Database, as of mid-2016.

Nanoscale 3D printing : This innovation creates minute, intricate structures and/or features that are

measured in micrometers. Using a new time-based method to control light from an ultra-fast laser,

researchers have developed a nanoscale 3D printing technique that can fabricate tiny structures a thousand

times faster than conventional two-photon lithography (TPL) techniques, while maintaining sub micrometer

resolution.

Next-generation memory: Performance of the emerging applications (big data analytics for real-time analytic

processing, in-memory databases, AI/ML workloads etc.) will significantly improve through the use of next

generation memory technology such as Storage Class Memory (SCM). SCM offers advantages like block

and byte level access of non volatile memory and high speed like DRAM based memory modules but at a

much lower cost.

Personification: Certain regulatory restrictions related to collecting and processing personal data are always

a challenge for marketing. Use of personification (the representation of an abstract quality in human form)

adds value to business without a need for collecting and processing personal data of regulatory restrictions.

Synthetic data: Synthetic data is not obtained from direct source or measurement but rather artificially

generated. Through data anonymization process, synthetic data is generated. Large synthetic data helps

smaller AI developers for training AI model.

Transfer learning: Transfer learning is a machine learning technique where a model trained on one problem

is reconfigured and reused as a starting point on a second related problem. The applications of transfer

learning are: cancer subtype discovery, building utilization, general game playing, text classification, digit

recognition and spam filtering.

AI PaaS: Linkages between AI and cloud computing is increasing. AI applications utilizing cloud services

have continued to gain traction and acceptance in the market due to IT efficiency, business integration and

reduced risk. Hence use of PaaS for deploying AI applications will push this technology to the Peak of

Inflated Expectations.

Biotech (cultured or artificial tissue): Biotech or biorobotics brings both biology and robotics together.

Biorobotics is the use of biological characteristics in living organisms as the knowledge base for developing

new robot designs. This creates artificial/cultured biologically inspired tissue, muscles or robots that could

emulate some human response due to external being made with sensors and soft actuators to enable robots

to safely interact with humans and the environment.

Edge AI: In Edge AI, AI algorithms are processed locally on a hardware device such as IoT endpoints,

gateways and edge devices. It enhances the performance of applications where latency (autonomous

navigation), network interruptions (e.g., remote monitoring, NLP, facial recognition) and/or big data (e.g.,

video analytics) are the key features


Knowledge graphs: A knowledge graph is typically built on top of the existing databases to link and

combining together both structured and unstructured information (including people, companies and digital

assets). The best example is the result you see in the form of boxes along with other information in the

Google search engine while you search for any famous celebrity.

5G: 5G is the next-generation mobile technology defined by 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) and

targets maximum downlink and uplink throughputs of 20 Gbps and 10 Gbps, respectively; latency below 5

milliseconds; and massive scalability. Other concerned technologies of 5G are: massive MIMO, Edge

computing, Beam Forming, Wi-Fi cellular convergence, NOMA (Non orthogonal Multiple Access). Wide

range of applications of 5G are : Automobiles, Automations, Public safety, Health care, Smart Homes , IOT

etc.

Biochips: It is a microchip designed using biological molecules and structures and intended to function inside

a living organism. Biochips combine semiconductor and biological sciences and are used to analyze

biological elements, such as DNA, ions, ribonucleic acid and proteins, in addition to certain chemicals. The

key factors to encourage the development of the global biochips market are a significant rise in the adoption

of personalized medicine and the increasing focus on technological advancements.

Autonomous driving Level 4: The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) defines 6 levels of driving

automation ranging from 0 (fully manual) to 5 (fully autonomous). Despite huge leaps forward in Level 4

autonomous driving, large scale commercial solutions are still a number of years away. Governments are

issuing permits to allow on-road testing of Level 4 vehicles. In China, a new 62-mile-long highway with

dedicated lanes for autonomous vehicles has been announced.

Autonomous driving Level 5: Level 5 or “full” automation refers to self-driving vehicles that can operate

without human intervention in every situation and condition. Companies such as Tesla, Ford, Toyota, Uber,

Volvo, and others have been working very heavily to reach the ultimate goal of Level 5 autonomous vehicle

operation. Self-driving cars will be reality in the near future. 5G technology having lower latency will play

crucial role in the implementation of autonomous vehicles.

Flying autonomous vehicles: More than a dozen companies are working on new aircraft that are piloted by

artificial intelligence and designed to create a more agile, less expensive and quicker way to execute air

travel, primarily in congested areas. While there are a number of opportunities, technical challenges like

control, safety, environment, cost and regulations (license issue) will delay broad deployment for many

years.

From the brief introduction on evolution of emerging technologies using Gartnet Hype cycle, it is concluded that

Learning Disabilities

Introduction

A language teacher encounters quite a few students with some or

the other kind of psychological disorientation or mental disorders.

These are cases of mentally challenged that we have around,

though in small numbers, in the society. It is natural, then, for

anyone who is confronted with such a sight to set thinking about

learning disabilities. This was how I zeroed in on our topic. The

idea was to discuss Learning Disabilities.

The brain wiring is developed slowly as we grow older although all

of us have the brain cells from the birth. After the birth, the brain

develops slowly and the wiring is activated. During this process, a

child finds something very difficult in the beginning but somehow,

after some time, s/he can solve that problem. We call these

maturational spurts. When we discuss this growth, we have to

discuss the parts of the cortex which are involved not only in

language skills but also in motor skills, cognitive skills as well as

organizational (executive function) skills.

It is natural, therefore to first talk about the brain and its parts in

some detail.

What is a Learning Disability?

Learning disability (LD) is a general term that describes explicit kinds of learning problems. A learning

disability can cause a person to have trouble learning and using certain skills. The skills most often

affected are reading, writing, listening, speaking, reasoning, and doing math. Learning disabilities differ

from person to person. One person with LD may not have the same kind of learning problems as another

person with LD. One person may have trouble with reading and writing. Another person with LD may have

problems understanding math. Still another person may have trouble in each of these areas, as well as

with understanding what people are saying.

Do you know anything about Learning abilities at all?

Learning Disability is a group of disorders that affects people’s ability to either interpret what they see and

hear or to link information from different parts of the brain. These limitations can be demonstrated in many

ways, such as specific difficulties with spoken and written language, coordination, self-control, or attention.

Such difficulties extend to schoolwork and can hinder learning to read, write, or do math.

A learning disability is a neurological disorder that affects the brain’s ability to receive, process, store, and

respond to information. The term is used to describe the outwardlyunexplained difficulty a person of at

least average intelligence has in acquiring basic academic skills. These skills are essential for success at

school and work, and for coping with life in general. “Learning Disabilities” does not stand for a single

disorder. It is an umbrella term that refers to a group of disorders.

Interestingly, there is no clear and widely accepted definition of learning disabilities. Because of the

multidisciplinary nature of the field, there is on-going debate on the issue of definition, and currently at least

twelve definitions appear in the professional literature. There are several technical definitions offered by

various health and education sources. Overall, most experts agree on the following descriptions:

Individuals with LD have difficulties with academic achievement and progress.

Discrepancies exist between a person’s potential for learning and what that person actually learns.

Individuals with LD show an uneven pattern of development (language development,physical

development, academic development, and/or perceptual development).

Learning problems are not due to environmental disadvantage.

Learning problems are not due to mental retardation or emotional disturbance.

Learning disabilities can affect one’s ability to read, write, speak, spell, compute math,and reason.

They also can affect a person’s attention, memory, coordination, social skills,and emotional maturity.


http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/permanent/humanorigins/human/images/lg/402b_cb_center_of_brain.jpg

Individuals with LD have normal intelligence, or are sometimes even intellectually gifted.

Individuals with LD have differing capabilities, with difficulties in certain academic areas but not in

others.

Learning disabilities have an effect on either input (the brain’s ability to process incoming information) or

output (the person’s ability to use information in practical skills, such as reading, math, spelling, etc.).

Research suggests that learning disabilities are caused by differences in how a person’s brain works and

how it processes information. Children with LD are not stupid or lazy. In fact, they usually have average or

above average intelligence, but their brains process information differently. In other words, we can say that

a learning disability affects the way kids of average to above average intelligence receive, process, or

express information. Even if the person learns to compensate and, in effect, overcomes the disorder, the

difference in brain processing lasts throughout life.

Important Point to Note

Knowing that a child has a learning disability tells you only that the child is experiencing some difficulty

processing information. You must learn much more about the child before you can determine how much

difficulty, the type of difficulties, and/or the impact the disability has on specific academic subjects or tasks.

Myth vs. Reality about Learning Disabilities

Myth 1 - People with LD are not very smart.

Reality: Kids with learning disabilities are just as smart as other kids. Intelligence has nothing to do with

LD. In fact, people with LD have average to above average intelligence. Many have intellectual, artistic, or

other abilities that permit them to be defined as gifted. Studies indicate that as many as 33% of students

with LD are gifted.

Myth 2 - LD is just an excuse for irresponsible, unmotivated, or lazy people.

Reality: LD is caused by neurological impairments, not character flaws. For some people with LD, the effort

required to get through a day can be exhausting in and of itself. The motivation required to do what others

take for granted is enormous. Learning disabilities are problems in processing words or information,

causing otherwise bright and capable children to have difficulty learning. The disabilities involve

language—reading, writing, speaking, and/or listening.

Myth 3 - LD only affects children. Adults grow out of the disorders.

Reality: It is now known that the effects of LD continue throughout the individual’s lifespan and may even

intensify in adulthood as tasks and environmental demands change. Sadly, many adults, especially older

adults, have never been formally diagnosed with LD. Learning disabilities cannot be outgrown, but they can

be identified reliably in kindergarten or first-grade children, or even earlier. Research clearly demonstrates

that the earlier a child is given appropriate help for a learning disability, the more successful the outcome.

Myth 4 - The terms dyslexia and learning disability are the same thing.

Reality: Dyslexia is a type of learning disability. It is not another term for learning disability. It is a specific

language-based disorder affecting a person’s ability to read, write, and verbally express him or herself.

Unfortunately, careless use of the term dyslexia has expanded so that it has become, for some people, an

equivalent for LD. Four out of five children identified with a learning disability are diagnosed with a reading

disability (or dyslexia). They have trouble learning how spoken language translates into written text. Since


every subject—including math—requires reading and writing, a reading disability affects all of a person’s

school-based learning.

Myth 5 - Learning disabilities are only academic in nature. They do not affect other areas of a

person’s life.

Reality: Some people with learning disabilities have isolated difficulties in reading, writing, or mathematics.

However, most people with learning disabilities have more than one area of difficulty. Some children have

good verbal (language) skills but weaknesses in visual and spatial perception, motor skills and, most

significantly, social skills—affecting their ability to grasp the main idea, “see the whole picture,” or

understand cause-and-effect relationships.

Many children with LD struggle with organization, attention, and memory. One-third of them may also have

an Attention Deficit Disorder—difficulty in regulating attention effectively, paying attention as needed, and

shifting attention to another task, when required. Children with LD are creative and resourceful, and can

frequently be characterized as gifted and as alternative thinkers.

They are often very smart, and typically have strengths and talents that differ from the skills emphasized in

school. With recognition of their difficulties, appropriate help, and the development of their interests and

talents, children with LD can learn to succeed both in school and beyond.

Myth 6 - Adults with LD cannot succeed in higher education.

Reality: More and more adults with LD are going to college or university and succeeding. With the proper

accommodations and support, adults with learning disabilities can be successful at higher education.

Myth 7 - Children with LD are identified in kindergarten and first grade.

Reality: Learning disabilities often go unrecognized for years; most are not identified until third grade.

Bright children can “mask” their difficulties, and some kinds of learning problems may not surface until

middle school, high school, or even college.

Myth 8 - More boys than girls have learning disabilities.

Reality: Although three times more boys than girls are identified by schools as having learning disabilities,

research studies show that, in fact, equal numbers of boys and girls have the most common form of

learning problem—difficulty with reading. Many girls’ learning difficulties are neither identified nor treated.

When a child has a learning disability, he or she may exhibit the following characteristics:

Have trouble learning the alphabet, rhyming words, or matching letters to their sounds

Make many mistakes when reading aloud, and repeat and pause often

Not understand what he or she reads

Have real trouble with spelling

Have very messy handwriting or hold a pencil awkwardly

Struggle to express ideas in writing

Learn language late and have a limited vocabulary

Have trouble remembering the sounds that letters make, or in hearing slight differences between

words

Have trouble understanding jokes, comic strips, and sarcasm

Have trouble following directions


Mispronounce words or use a wrong word that sounds similar

Have trouble organizing what he or she wants to say or not be able to think of the word needed for

writing or conversation

Not follow the social rules of conversation, such as taking turns, and may stand too close to the

listener

Confuse math symbols and misread numbers

Not be able to retell a story in order (what happened first, second, third)

Not know where to begin a task or how to go on from there

Dedicated to all Mothers, Sisters and Daughters

She bleeds,

She gives birth to whole new human world.

She don’t deserve to stay in kitchen

Whole day,

But also to explore the world.

She should not only be responsible

For taking care of her family,

But also to protect her nation.

Don’t judge her by saying her weak,

Because at times,

she can even take responsibility

By standing at the borders and fighting

For her country.

Indeed, she is, now, not any more behind any man!

You will not find her strong

Until and unless you change your perspective for her.
