“The Pen is mightier than the

sword” is a proverb suitable for all ages

and all places. GCE Chronicles, the

Newsletter team of this institution functions

as its pen upholding its rich heritage and

tradition. It is indeed my pleasure to be the

Patron of this special community and look over its

good work. With its first edition launched in the year

2011 comprising the events that happened in the year

2010 as the Annual Edition ’10, the team has been

continuously e-launching varied editions. Till now, all the

releases have received a good response from the virtual world.

The present Edition has also been e-launched while the institution

is doing its best to produce hard-copies of the newsletter for a better

reach amidst the students so that they can be aware of all the events in

the college. The Annual Edition ’14 has been designed and sculptured in a

very professional way taking into account all happenings in the college

during the year. I convey my best wishes to the team for its vigor and

enthusiasm in making this newsletter. Through the pages of the newsletter, I hope

that many more students will come forward to make use of their creativity to

contribute to the newsletter. Let GCE Chronicles be the voice of the college in

showcasing the achievements of the college and in the efforts of the institution to

conserve its pristine environment.

From the Editorial Board

GCE Chronicles, the newsletter team of the college was initiated in the year 2010. Its

first release was the Annual Edition for the Year 2010 which was released on 1 January,

2011. Since then, the newsletter team has brought out 18 newsletters which include five

annual editions, eight monthly editions, one student edition, one project edition and three

Gecofest special editions. The Annual Edition ’14 is the 19th release by GCE Chronicles. With

every release, the team has improved in the various aspects involved in the making of a

newsletter such as designing, editing and publishing of a newsletter. With the monthly editions

started earlier this year, the team has showed its dedication in representing the college in the

right way to the society. GCE Chronicles will continue to bring out newsletters, upholding the

rich heritage of this 48-year old institution. We also take this opportunity to remember the

previous Principals and the present Principal for their support and encouragement to the

Remarkable Contribution by R&D Center of GCES

Research and Development center of GCE, Salem made its debut contribution to the society through its new

super computer STEM 1.0 on 29th December, 2014. This new super computer predicted the approximate location of

debris of Air Asia passenger plane which recently vanished in the region of Java Sea along with 162 passengers and its

crew. A simulation was carried out in the computer with input parameters like climatic conditions, geometry of the

aircraft and the results were obtained. Careful observation of the results predicted that there was a high probability of

finding debris of this missing aircraft in the vicinity of Manger region in Java Sea. This news was reported by the Principal,

Dr. R.S.D. Wahida Banu on 30, December, 2014 to senior government officials and media.
