Education Minister’s First Meeting

On 23rd June 2016 Sri Basavaraj Rayareddi,

Hon’ble Minister for Higher Education called

meeting of all the departments of Higher Education

in his chamber at Vidhana Soudha to discuss about

the Department. Sri Bharat Lal Meena, IAS,

Additional Chief Secretary Higher Education/ SSC

Chairman, Sri S.V. Ranganath, IAS, Vice Chairman,

KSHEC and Dr. S A Kori, Executive Director,

KSHEC and all other officers were present.

Video Conference

Weekly video conferencing held on 20.06.2016.

Additional Chief secretary/SSC Chairman,

Sri Bharat Lal Meena addressing all the VCs,

Registrars and other heads of the departments of all

the universities. Sri H. U. Talawar, State Project

Advisor/Director, DTE, Sri Chakravarthy Mohan,

Commissioner, Dept. of Collegiate Education and

Sri S. A. Kori, Executive Director, KHEC were

present along with other officers of the Department.

The Additional Chief Secretary discussed about

online admission, beginning of academic activities,

action plan of RUSA funds, other projects as well as

state project. He advised all the heads of the

Institutions to visit SC/ST hostels regularly to

supervise the basic amenities and quality of food

served to SC/ST Students. Further he insisted all to

depute staff members on rotation basis to sit and eat

food with the students and give feedback about the

quality of the food.

“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and

blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You

may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at

night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love,

you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your

honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for

it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is

the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be

tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting.

Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to

learn.”

― T.H. White,

From the Desk of the DTE.

The Transformation of Technical

Education

The technical education system in the country has

grown into a fairly large system in the last decade,

offering opportunities to aspiring students in a wide

variety of disciplines at different levels.

Quality is dynamic concept that needs to be

reviewed and redefined from time to time. We must

collectively work and strive hard to achieve global

standards of technical education. Global standards

are of great relevance, today, especially as India has

a demographic advantage in its favour. However we

need to nurture and carefully strategize to reap the

benefits of our precious human resource.

The shortage of qualified faculty teaching technic in

our institutes has also been an impediment in our

quest to offer education of global standards. In the

light of the existing technical education system in

the country, coupled with our desire to progressively

move towards a “knowledge economy” we urgently

need to identify and map the required skills and

competencies bridging supply and demand in our

human resource via our technical institutes.

I also feel that we need nothing short of a revolution

to convert some of our outstanding institutions from

mere institutions of learning in to institutions of

research and innovation. If we plan systematically, it

could create a robust technical research ecosystem

that feeds into and off industry. I am aware, that in

some of the good institutes, current generation is

globally-networked, focused on research, looking to

solve industry problems, while also not missing

opportunities for patenting. They are driving a deep

transformation within our technical education

system, which could take some time to show impact.

We need to bring more and more institutions of this

category in coming years.

We have taken a step forward to be identified more

like a facilitator and quality promoter, besides

fulfilling our basic mandate of being a regulator. To

conclude, let me reiterate that, in the context of

technical education in our country, we are conscious

and committed to the fact that knowledge is all

about students having access to quality education

and jobs, faculty having access to quality

laboratories, libraries and research facilities, and

industry having access to skilled human resource.

From the Desk of Editor

The Government of Karnataka is

keen on introducing reforms to

improve the quality of Higher

Education in Government Colleges

other educational and academic

institutions of Higher Education,

that are presently a constituent of

one or two Government Educational Institutions and

to build greater linkages between educational

institutions and the Society they serve, more

particularly those located in the rural and semi-urban

areas of the state.

To achieve this objective our government is taking

too many initiatives and spending money. Therefore

it is our mandatory duty to make use of Gnana

Sangama where education and administration related

all information is available for students, stake

holders and public. In this column we would like to

inform all the readers about this in the following

paragraphs and request them to spread this message

to all the students and their parents.

Life Changing Ecosystem: Gnanasangama

Gnana Sangama is an initiative with the vision to

create a better teaching – learning ecosystem and to

form transparent and efficient administration.

Let us tell you how Gnana Sangama benefits

students, colleges, and administrators at all levels: Online Admission System

Manual admissions are time consuming and man

power intensive.

Whereas, Online Admission System eliminates

creation of separate applications for each institute.

Management of these applications is easy. It is a

Green process. Also, students save money as they

don’t have to apply for admissions in multiple

colleges. Online Attendance

Touch Laptops in the classrooms are used to take

attendance.

It is quick, accurate and proxy resistant.

Upon login, lecturers, Professors, HODs and guest

faculty are able to check their Time-Table. Students

can also view their attendance details by logging

into their profile.

Various MIS reports gets generated for attendance

monitoring and performance analysis. Also, when a

student is absent an Auto-SMS gets generated for

sending to parents or guardians.

As a result of easy and effective process, more time

is available for teaching! ICT enabled teaching and learning:

Smart classes are established for delivering

multimedia rich sessions. Each Classroom is

provided with touch screen laptops with various

applications.

Faculty use e-content, also called as ‘assisted

content for teaching’. This assisted content is

prepared with the help of chosen experts of the

Universities in collaboration with education

strategists and multimedia content developers. Tele-Education

Experts teach using a LIVE and interactive Satellite

technology based teaching platform from the

studios. They use activity based modules, enhanced

with animation and videos.

Live sessions on Skill Building, Communicative

English, Personality and Career Development are

arranged. Information sharing from industry

experts, Discussions on latest trends in Research and

development are hosted via Tele-Education.

It is also an excellent platform for local talent and

achievers to address the students.

Self-learning

Students are provided with non-assisted content with

recorded videos. With the unique login id, they can

access the content on any device, anywhere,

anytime!

On the Learning Management System, students take

Online Tests and assess their own performance.

They refer question banks, use discussion tools and

other useful applications.

Online Question Bank

Faculties contribute questions in the area of their

expertise to the online question bank: Module -

wise, topic-wise, difficulty level-wise and skill-wise.

Students explore these different types of questions

for practice and revision.

Online Tests

Using the Internal Test platform, colleges give

structured tests to a batch of students. Faculty

develop test papers with ease, using the Online

Question Bank.

Once tests are taken, performance is measured,

analyzed and viewed online for each student. Thus

faculty can understand their students’ areas of

strengths and weaknesses.

Online Test platform is also used as a practice tool

for competitive examinations like CET, TOEFL,

GRE.

Information Kiosks

Students can be up-to-date on various aspects of

their course, time-table, events, examinations,

scholarships, syllabi and general messages

addressed to them.

A provision for giving feedback by students, faculty

and administrators is also a major functionality of

the kiosks.

Anti-Ragging and Grievances Portals

Anti-Ragging Portal for students and Grievances

Portal for staff are available.

Video conferencing

The setup helps in efficient administration, effective

communication between the Departments,

Universities and colleges.

Digitization of data

A comprehensive Document Management System

and scanning Services are provided to make the

documents digital.

By establishing a digital library, access to freely

available books is provided and 200 existing district

libraries are linked to the Digital Learning Software.

Centralized 24/7 helpline & IVRS system

Any enrolled student can contact the 24X7 helpline

for information on courses, colleges and also for

Career Counselling.

Alumni engagement and donations management

To inform, connect and engage alumni and to

encourage philanthropy a dedicated alumni

engagement portal is provided.

Other benefits to Institutions

At the click of a button, institutes can generate

diverse lists for various purposes.

College wise/district wise/taluk wise/category wise

information is available at any time through the

Online Monitoring System.

Automation of mandatory forms saves a huge

amount of time and efforts. This reduces

correspondence between departments and colleges.

Institutions can book a reservation to use lab or a

special academic infrastructure in other universities

or colleges.

ICT enabled Campus

To implement Gnana Sangama, ICT enabled

campuses are established with:

VSAT connectivity and satellite receiving equipment

Wi-fi and local wi-fi across the infrastructure

Video conferencing facility

Items such as servers, touch screen laptops, smart class

equipment, modems, projectors, screens, UPS backed

electricity, podiums, and Information Kiosks

e-content and various applications

We believe that Gnana Sangama which is an

enriched collaboration of technology, processes,

applications and tools with the best minds in the

higher education industry - will bring a radical

transformation over the years!

Life Changing Ecosystem:

Gnanasangama

http://www.gnanasangama.karnataka.gov.in/

Gnana Sangama is an initiative with the vision to

create a better teaching – learning ecosystem and to

form transparent and efficient administration.

Let us tell you how Gnana Sangama benefits

students, colleges, and administrators at all levels:

Online Admission System

Swatch Bharath | Print only if necessary | Save Trees | Go Green Page 14

http://www.gnanasangama.karnataka.gov.in/dceonli

nestudent2016/

Manual admissions are time consuming and

manpower intensive. Whereas, Online Admission

System eliminates creation of separate applications

for each institute. Management of these applications

is easy. It is a Green process. Also, students save

money as they don’t have to apply for admissions in

multiple colleges.

Online Attendance

http://www.gnanasangama.karnataka.gov.in/stud

entattendance/Login.aspx

Touch Laptops in the classrooms are used to take

attendance. It is quick, accurate and proxy resistant.

Upon login, lecturers, Professors, HODs and guest

faculty are able to check their Time-Table. Students

can also view their attendance details by logging

into their profile.

Various MIS reports get generated for attendance

monitoring and performance analysis. Also, when a

student is absent an Auto-SMS gets generated for

sending to parents or guardians.

As a result of easy and effective process, more time

is available for teaching!

ICT enabled Campus

To implement Gnana Sangama, ICT enabled

campuses are established with:

VSAT connectivity and satellite receiving

equipment

Wi-fi and local wi-fi across the infrastructure

Video conferencing facility

Items such as servers, touch screen laptops,

smart class equipment, modems, projectors,

screens, UPS backed electricity, podiums,

and Information Kiosks

e-content and various applications

ICT enabled teaching and learning:

http://www.gnanasangama.karnataka.gov.in:81/e

content/ Smart classes are established for

delivering multimedia rich sessions. Each

Classroom is provided with touch screen laptops

with various applications.

Faculty use e-content, also called as ‘assisted

content for teaching’. This assisted content is

prepared with the help of chosen experts of the

Universities in collaboration with education

strategists and multimedia content developers.

Tele-Education

Experts teach using a LIVE and interactive Satellite

technology based teaching platform from the

studios. They use activity based modules, enhanced

with animation and videos.

Live sessions on Skill Building, Communicative

English, Personality and Career Development are

arranged. Information sharing from industry

experts, Discussions on latest trends in Research and

development are hosted via Tele-Education.

It is also an excellent dais for local talent and

achievers to address the students.

Self-learning

http://www.gnanasangama.karnataka.gov.in/student

corner/

http://www.gnanasangama.karnataka.gov.in:81/econ

tent/

Students are provided with non-assisted content with

recorded videos. With the unique login id, they can

Swatch Bharath | Print only if necessary | Save Trees | Go Green Page 15

access the content on any device, anywhere,

anytime!

On the Learning Management System, students take

Online Tests and assess their own performance.

They refer question banks, use discussion tools and

other useful applications.

Online Question Bank

http://www.gnanasangama.karnataka.gov.in/student

corner/

Faculties contribute questions in the area of their

expertise to the online question bank: Module -

wise, topic-wise, difficulty level-wise and skill-wise.

Students explore these different types of questions

for practice and revision.

Online Tests http://www.gnanasangama.karnataka.gov.in/studentc

orner/CompetitiveExams.aspx

Using the Internal Test platform, colleges give

structured tests to a batch of students. Faculty

develop test papers with ease, using the Online

Question Bank.

Once tests are taken, performance is measured,

analyzed and viewed online for each student. Thus

faculty can understand their students’ areas of

strengths and weaknesses.

Online Test platform is also used as a practice tool

for competitive examinations like CET, TOEFL,

GRE.

Information Kiosks

Students can be up-to-date on various aspects of

their course, time-table, events, examinations,

scholarships, syllabi and general messages

addressed to them.

A provision for giving feedback by students, faculty

and administrators is also a major functionality of

the kiosks.

Anti-Ragging and Grievances Portals http://www.gnanasangama.karnataka.gov.in/fb/

Anti-Ragging Portal for students and Grievances

Portal for staff are available

Video conferencing

The setup helps in efficient administration, effective

communication between the Departments,

Universities and colleges. Institution representatives

need not travel long distances for these meetings,

which saves a lot of time and efforts.

Digitization of data

A comprehensive Document Management System

and scanning Services are provided to make the

documents digital.

By establishing a digital library, access to freely

available books is provided and 200 existing district

libraries are linked to the Digital Learning Software.

Centralized 24/7 helpline & IVRS system.

Any enrolled student can contact the 24X7 helpline

for information on courses, colleges and also for

Career Counselling.

Alumni engagement and donations management

To inform, connect and engage alumni and to

encourage philanthropy a dedicated alumni

engagement portal is provided.

Other benefits to Institutions

at the click of a button, institutes can generate

diverse lists for various purposes. College

wise/district wise/taluk wise/category wise

information is available at any time through the

Online Monitoring System. Automation of

mandatory forms saves a huge amount of time and

efforts. This reduces correspondence between

departments and colleges. Institutions can book a

reservation to use lab or a special academic

infrastructure in other universities or colleges.

We believe that Gnana Sangama which is an

enriched collaboration of technology, processes,

applications and tools with the best minds in the

higher education industry - will bring a radical

transformation over the years! Shazil Ahmed
