To my readers

Time moves with a tremendous speed astounding us all the time.The bygones have been either overwhelming or heart wrenching, yet they empower us each day to live life with all its fullness and elegance. Ralph Waldo Emerson has rightly said Thought is the blossom: language the bud; action the fruit behind it. Thus, our budding writers have a plethora of thoughts to offer through the write-ups and poem in our sections.

Education System
The present system of higher education does not serve the purpose for which it has been started. In general education itself has be-come so profitable a business that quality is lost in the increase of quantity of professional institutions with quota system and politicization adding fuel to the fire of spoil system, thereby increasing unemployment of graduates without quick relief to mitigate their sufferings in the job market of the country. So, the drawbacks of the higher education system underscore the need for reforms to make it worthwhile and beneficial to all concerned. Competition: Next to China, India is the most populated country in the world. Naturally there is too much rush and competition in every field. So, rush to technical and higher education has increased as scope for arts and science has become lesser and lesser due to lack of reforms and up gradation in the course structure and materials according to the developments of the world. Purpose of Education: All round development of personality is the purpose of education. But the present day education is neither imparting the true knowledge of life, world and helping one stand on ones own leg nor is improving the talent of a student by which one can achieve laurels in the field one interested. So, combination of arts subjects and computer science and science and humanities or literature should be introduced so that such courses could be useful for the students to do jobs after recruitment in some companies which would reduce unnecessary rush to higher education. Right Course of Action: In India around 240 Universities controlling somewhere 5000 colleges of various courses churning out millions of graduates seeking jobs in vain due to lack of employability, communication skill and entrepreneurship quality. In Tamil Nadu State of India alone (from 2000 to 2006) more than 600, 000 students are

hunting for jobs without hope due to political rivalries and lack of investments in job generating manufacturing units and companies. This is one side of the picture. On the other side, all want to be-come Engineers or Doctors or Computer specialists in IT or Software, which is beyond the reach of many and also, all, cannot shine in such a line if not suited later on. So, to overcome disappointments in the working life clear appraisal of ones Self is necessary before pursuing a course of action. For that not specialization but general education covering all subjects (arts, science, literature, technology, and agriculture and defense studies) is very essential. After education, tour to all the places in India and world as far as possible with the cooperation of government is necessary so that one can understand about people, culture, arts, literature, religions, technological developments and progress of human society in the world. Basing this knowledge one should have a vision of ones future life and work in the world and decide about the future course of action, i.e. whether to go for higher education or do job suitable to one. Finally, based on knowledge only vision of the future life and work can be had; based on this vision only a broad ambition can be fixed for oneself; and based on this ambition only one can lead interesting life doing satisfying job to do remarkable achievements in some field in the world. Individuality Otherwise, the life of one will not be interesting but rather boring, monotonous and frustrating. This is mainly due to parental interference in the education of the children. Parental guidance is ne-cessary but it should not interfere in the creativity or individuality of the students. Also, in spite of the obsolete type of education system, some are achieving wonderful things in Sports, Music, Dance, Painting, Science and Technology in the world! This is only due to the

encouragement of the parents and some dedicated teachers in the educational institutions. Higher Education: Higher education is necessary for one to achieve excellence in the line one is best. But one should be selected for higher education on the basis of merit only. Further, fees for education in general should not be high; especially, the fees for higher studies should be within the reach of every class of people in the nation. Standard: In any nation education is the basic necessity for the socio-economic development of the individuals and the society. In reality only 20% of the population is educated in India. Also, only 25% of the Universities are having world class education. So, improved standard of education as first priority should be offered to the majority by the govt. authorities with sincere political will. Also, privatization of higher education is absolutely necessary in a vast country like India as government alone is helpless to do so. Quality: That is the way peoples quality of life can be improved and also, the nation can economically compete with the developed nations of the world. So, private educational in-situations can give higher education to all irrespective of economic status of the students. As far as quality of education is concerned it should be under the control of a central institute such as All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the respective Universities concerned. World Class Education: Indian government is not giving priority to the development of Standard in education. India should aspire for the international standard in education. To achieve that goal it should adopt uniform international syllabus in its educational institutions. Many national universities like in the USA, UK, Australia, etc. allow studies in higher education

for foreign students in their countries and through correspondence courses as well. In the same way India Universities of world class education can also offer courses of studies to foreign students taking advantage of the globalization process. Personality Development: Finally, education should be for the flowering of personality but not for the suppression of creativity or natural skill. In the globalized world opportunities for the educated people are naturally ample in scope. As a result business process outsourcing (BPO) activities have increased competition in the world trade leading towards the production of quality goods and their easy availability everywhere in the world market. That is the way the world can be developed for peace, prosperity and progress by able and skilful men. Regards, Ali Sayyed T.Y.B.B.I.

Education (A Treasure)
Learning is not bounded by any time, age. Education is one thing that is above of all barriers, it helps in clearing up all barriers. It can be started at any point of time, age and at any phase of life. Education is limitless, the more you earn the more you are able to develop yourself. Never think that you are too old for this, you can learn and educate yourself at any time. Education improves personality of a person. It gives confidence and makes a person capable of moving and communicating in todays society. These days there is so much to learn that one is always yearning for knowledge. So many professional courses are there that adds to the educational qualification. Many retired people, older people or even professionals are indulged in some or the other professional course. They are not only acquiring knowledge but also scoring well at the same time. Education should not be limited, it is one thing that can be started at any point of time.

person can apply his skills to any field. He or she can try out other professional jobs also by having knowledge from various fields. Education is good for a persons future life also. In todays competitive scenario if a person is educated he can teach his children well and make them capable of coping with the competition. Education can be a good source of income also, as one can teach children by taking tuitions and one can be a professional teacher in any school or college. Education is such a treasure that remains with a person throughout his life. Its such a treasure that keeps on increasing the more one distributes it. Education is such a thing that rewards a person in one way or another. It should always be spread and should not be kept hidden within. A person can think of studying at any point of time, at whatever time he will start hell get benefited with the divine light of education. Regards, Ali Sayyed T.Y.B.B.I.

TIME FOR CHANGE:


Towards the end of last year, I asked a man who works closely with business schools how he would characterize their attitude over the past year. He responded instantly: as a bunch of ostriches with their heads in the sand. He then paused for a moment, and then added: With a herd of buffalo heading towards them. Cynical he may be, but he does have a point. After a year of economic turmoil and academic trauma, most business schools seem to have become paralysed. There have been some changes to the curriculum to reflect growing concerns about unethical behavior, and to beef up technical courses in subjects such as risk management and financial derivatives. On top of that, some individual professors and deans have proposed that business education needs to more rigorously codified or professionalized, to bring it into line with sectors such as medicine and law Rakesh Khurana at Harvard and Frank Brown at Instead have been at the forefront of this movement. Spearheaded by one Harvard graduate, thousands of MBA students around the world have signed an oath to proclaim that they will behave ethically, a move that has been greeted with enthusiasm by some and hoots of derision by others. But deep down, what has really changed? As investment bankers begin hiring again this summer, will we see MBA graduates eschewing

these jobs, or will they take the bankers shilling just like their predecessors? For although business school professors like to spend years tinkering with the curriculum, most seem unable to contemplate the idea of changing the structure of their programmers, especially in the US, where the two-year MBA dominates the market. This two-year programmed brings with it one inherent problem: debt. Not only are there tuition fees to pay but MBA students have to live for two years without income. According to Harvard Business School, which has one of the worlds most generous scholarship schemes for its students, those who graduated with a Harvard MBA in 2009 were in debt to the tune, on average, of almost $77,000. Graduates from top schools with fewer resources faced even greater debts. This then begs the question: who would want to do this? One answer is that thousands of managers around the world vie for these coveted qualifications every year. But the statistics show that they are a self-selecting group. To begin with, they are men. A cursory glance over the statistics for the top business schools shows that 60 per cent or more of the admitted class are male. At London Business School, the top two-year programmed, the figure is a whopping 73 per cent. Second, they are people who are prepared to take the risk of investing two years out of their lives without the guarantee of a high-paying job at the end of it, as this years graduates found out. And even for those who are not high risk-taking males, whatever their good intentions, debt are a highly persuasive ingredient in the decisionmaking process when looking for a job. It is a brave person who turns down a lucrative

banking job to work for a not-for-profit organization if they owe almost $90,000. Those who run one-year MBA programmers may be feeling smug at this point. Yes, they are much better value for money, but they present many of the same problems and graduate very similar people. Looking at the typical profile of an MBA student, it is easy to see why this privileged group has gained the image of being arrogant and aggressive alpha males. And bearing all these factors in mind, it is easy to see why MBA students have been blamed for the current economic crisis. None of which is particularly helpful if the role of business schools is to help create and run more successful businesses. In order to achieve this, there are several questions that business schools must answer. First, how can they attract a wide range of students from different backgrounds on to their programmes? Second, how can they help promote gender diversity in the boardroom? And third, how can they teach managers what they need to know at the point when they need to know it?

Youth Problems

Dialogue on the problems of youth by Daisaku Ikeda.

your studies, sports, extracurricular activities or whatever you are engaged in.

UNDERSTANDING EQUALITY Q: The world is filled with hatred. What can person do? A: Unless we build a society that regards human beings not as means to a goal but as the goal itself, we will remain forever deadlocked in inequality, UN happiness and violence where the strong prey upon the weak. We will simply repeat the same patterns. TALENT Q: I feel ordinary, like I have no special abilities or talent? A: That just isnt true. The problem lies in people limiting themselves. Everyone has some kind of gift .Being talented doesnt just mean being a good musician, writer or athlete--- there are many kinds of talent. For instance, you may be a great conversationalist or make friends easily or put other at ease. Or you may have a gift for nursing, a knack for telling jokes, selling things or economizing. You may be always punctual, patient, reliable, kind or optimistic. You may love new challenges or be strongly com-mitted to peace or to bringing joy to others. Each of us is as unique as a cherry blossom, plum blossom, peach blossom, or damson blossom. Each blossom is distinctly wondrous, accordingly, each blossom in the way that only it can. Without a doubt each person has an innate talent. The question is: How do you discover that talent? The only way is to exert you to the limit in Whatever is before you? Your true potential will emerge when you give everything youve got to It is vital that we teach the citizens of all nations to see them-selves and others first and fore-most as human beings. We have to raise peoples awareness of human rights through education. Our schools must teach human rights, our religions must teach human rights and our governments must respect human rights. A childs heart does not discriminate. If they arent taught discrimination by others, children of all races play happily together. And children are not the least bit interested in how well-off the families of their playmates are or what kinds of work their parents do. They assume that all human beings are equal. South Africa maintained an unparalleled state of harsh discrimination against the majority of its citizens. Under apartheid, it was a crime for black South Africa to ride a Whites Only bus, to use a Whites Only drinking fountain, to walk on a Whites Only beach, to be on the streets past 11:00 pm., to travel, to be un employed and to live in certain places. In short black South Africans were not treated as human being. CHANGING CARRIERS:

College Chronicle-The Beginning of the new magazine

Q: What if you start following one dream but have a change of heart and want to pursue a different path? A: Thats perfectly all right. Few people end up doing what they planned or dreamed of doing in the beginning. In my case, I wanted to be a newspaper reporter, but my poor health, prevented me from pursuing that profession. Today, however, I have become a writer. At one point, I worked for a small publishing company. Because of its small staff, I had to work very hard but, because of that, I gained a great deal of practical experience. After the war, I worked for another small operation, but what I went through on that job gave me a chance to really look at myself. Everything I learned back then is of value to my life now. The important thing is to develop yourself in your present situation and to take control of your growth. Once you have decided on a job, I hope you will not be the kind of person who quits at the drop of hat or is always insecure and com-plaining. Nevertheless, if after youve given it your all, you decided that your job isnt right for you and you move on, thats all right, too. Taking your place as a member of a society is a challenge; it is a struggle to survive. But wherever you are is exactly where you need to be, so strive there to the best of your ability. A tree doesnt grow strong and tall within one or two days. In the same way, successful people didnt become successful in only a few years. This applies to everything. GAINING FOCUS Q: Im not sure what I want to do with my life. How do I get more focused? A: Although it is natural to be un-sure about your future, its crucial that you try to accomplish

something anything. The thought of that might seem overwhelming. But has the ancient saying goes, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Discovering our goals and dreams begins with the first step of deciding to find them. From there, we proceed step by step in steady increments through daily efforts. The track star Emil Zatopek of Czechoslovakia, who won the 1952 Olympic mens marathon, found his training so excruciating at times that he would tell himself, Ill just try to make it to the next telephone pole. Then, when he reached it, he would say to himself again, OK, Ill just go as far as the next one, and push himself a little further. These persistent efforts to keep challenging himself ultimately led to his victory. So do something! Start some-thing! As you make consistent ef-forts, you will begin to see your goals come into focus. You will discover your mission the one only you can fulfill. For, example it is important to develop skills in areas you enjoy. The key is to have something in which you can take pride, some-thing you are willing to challenge. It might be excelling in math, foreign language, sports, and extra curricular activity, making friend or doing volunteer work. The people around you may know you better in someway that you do yourself, so if you summon up the courage to ask them for advice, you might find the doors to new possibilities opening unexpectedly. A solid foundation is essential in all things. No building can stand without a foundation. The same is true in life. And the time to construct that foundation is now, during your youth. As the French writer Romain Rolland noted, a pyramid cannot be build from the top down. FACING UP TO PROBLEM Q: When I face problem, running away sometimes seems like the ea-siest solution.

College Chronicle-The Beginning of the new magazine

21

A: You can run away, of course. That freedom exists. But it is a very small, petty freedom. It only leads to a life of great hardship, a life in which you will be powerless, weak and completely frustrated. Alongside this small freedom, how-ever, exists a much greater free-dom. The Japanese novelist Eiji Yoshikawa writer, Great character is forged through hardship.Only by polishing yourself through repeated difficulties can you build a self that sparkles as brightly as a gem. When you have developed such a state of being, nothing will faze you. You will be free. You will be victorious. Hardship wills even be-come enjoyable. Daring to take on tough challengesthat in it is immense freedom. Freedom is relative. You may run away from hard work and efforts, declaring your-self a free spirit, but you cannot run away from yourself --- from your own weaknesses, personality and destiny. It is like trying to run from your own shadow. It is even more impossible to escape from the suffering of aging, sickness and death inherent in the human condition. The more you try to avoid hardship, the more doggedly they pursue you, like so many relentless hounds chasing at your heels. Thats why its important that you turn and face your troubles head-on. It is impossible to have absolutely everything go your way all the time. In fact, if it werent for the various obstacles life presents us with, we probably wouldnt appreciate what is to be free. The spring of our youth is meant to be lived with our faces turned towards the sun. As a season of growth, youth is a time of job great joy and great suffering. It is filled with problems and worries of all kind. But rather than run away from them, the key is to keep seek-ing the sun, to keep moving in the direction of the sunlight, to challenges the pain and agony that are part of growing up. Never give in to defeat. For a seed to sprout, it must exert tre-mendous effort to break of its hard outer covering. That sprout must then valiantly push its way up through a thick layer of

soil to reach the blue sky above. The hardships you experience now will all contribute to your growth. Therefore, the important thing is to keep pressing forward no matter how tough or painful the going may get. Youth is the time to develop a spirit of persistence. And those who keep striving for improvement remain youthful no matter what their age. Conversely, those who fail to do so, even if they are young in year, will be old and weak in spirit. Life is a battle to win ultimate and unlimited freedom. HANDLING REJECTION Q: Sometimes when I try to make new friends, its like Im not cool enough for them, and Im left on the outside looking in. A: Although it may seem difficult, if you are ignored, rejected or made fun of, try not to be overly worried about it. According to Buddhist beliefs, those who treat others poorly make bad causes for which they unfortunately will experience the effects; they are truly to be pitied. At the same time, remember that experiencing rejection and disappointment is an inevitable part of life. I, too, have been betrayed by people whom I trusted and sincerely tried to encourage. But that is something I have learned is inevitable at times. In the face of rejection, you must learn to be courageous. It is important to believe in yourself. Be like the sun, which shines on serenely even though not all the heavenly bodies reflect back its light and even though some of its brilliance seems to radiate only into empty space. While those who reject your friendship may sometimes fade out of your life, the more you shine your light, the more brilliant your life will become. No matter what other people do, it is important that you walk your own path, believing in yourself. If you stay true to yourself, others will

22

definitely come to understand your sincere intent. PEOPLE YOU DONT LIKE Q: What do I do about the people I just cant get along with? A: Just as there are some foods you find distasteful, having people in your environment that you dislike is an unavoidable part of life. While theres nothing wrong with not particularly liking certain people, it is wrong to put them down or behave in a hostile way toward them. They have the same right to exist as you do and to have their own opinions and ways of doing things. Its important to cultivate a broad-minded outlook. It is important to be respectful in our behavior both for others sake as well as for our own.

The Fire Inside


When all is lost and hope has fled, When fear is strong and strength is dead, When love and joy abandon you, When mental anguish grows in you. When the last of efforts fail to save, When your fate is ill, your mind enslaved. And when your head hangs low in misery, This is when you will find the key. Single amber from deep within, Burns hotter and hotter, as flames begin. The fire of truth will light the way, And help you fight, this lonely day. The battle is long, the struggle is rough, Never regret not giving enough.

For when we offer our very best, Our very soul is put to the test. Stand tall & true and you will pre-vail, Just hold on tight and never pre-vail. You will survive if you dont quit, Victory is there, if you reach for it. One day in the future you will look to the past, And you you had what it takes to last. So never give up and good things will come, Not just honor and pride, but s job well done.

The Thing with LOVE is....


It always maintains a safe distance from you. Always in the air. You wont value it until its gone If its really love it wont come back on its own you got to make it happen. Its mostly one-sided. Never comes to you when you in search of it but always finds a way to your heart Strikes you when you least expect it. Always a dilemma to know if its really LOVES. And if it really is then got more dilemmas coming your way. Is the only thing dad's money cant buy. Is rarely unconditional nowadays? Makes u Delusional, Illogical and Hallucinated. Is the only thing a HUMAN HEART craves for the most? Has become a myth in this era. Is one the verge of EXTINCTION and needs help from only the HEART possessing human race.

As its said "The problem today is that things are loved and people are used" - - read it somewhere on someones Face book status. -Regards Anjan Jagirdar (T.Y.BSC)

Making Happiness a Habit


Joy is not something thot happens accidentally not dependent on outer conditions. It is rather a habit or on emotion that you develop within yourself and if you never take time to let it grow but rather put it off for some future day you never reach the place of true happiness Whatever you are doing be happy in it even when u don't like the task, even when you would be not bothered by an interruption, even when

you can think of many other situations or conditions that would suit you much better than the present one. The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions; the little soon forgettable charities of a kiss or a smile a kind look a heartfelt compliment countless pleasurable and genial feelings.

1,000 Distractions
They say a students life is most easy, but do they know that how we have to dodge all those tempting distractions, Well whenever I am about to sit and open my syllabus books, I am suddenly reminded of............ A chick flick which I always wanted to watch but never managed to. Suddenly the girl I never expected to call me, calls up and we talk for hours. Some other chick comes online.

The mag I always wanted to read but never found time to. My friends come up with an amazing plan to meet up (Usually when someones parents have gone out). Need to call my friend and ask him how much he has managed to mug up. The ever distracting guest's show up and demand attention and throw all the irritating questions at you. Or dad wants to learn computers (Worst than studying.) My phones reminder tells me that I have to catch my favorite T.V show. Or there's live or repeat telecast of an exciting cricket match. Or Sharapova or Sania is playing a single sided tennis match. My "Ex" wants to go for a movie (And you can never refuse to go for movies with your ex.) Need to fetch Milk or something from the grocery store. I feel very sleepy like I haven't slept in ages when I am just about to study. The curiosity to check out what are the latest torrents. I have a sudden urge to do nothing and the best part is you never finish doing nothing (This is the law Einstein never mentioned). After succumbing to all this I realize the day has ended and I dint study even a single word, next morning I promise myself that I will study but the same story repeats and my amazing life continues. It's like the need to study and the tempting things around you are directly proportional to each other. Anjan Jagirdar (T.Y.BSC)

Experience freedom
This world could use a little help right now. The world needs to learn to blend its people a little better, and what you will inevitably get is acceptance. Intolerance towards certain stereotypes, religions, and ethnic societies will not exist anymore, because it has been blended already, and the entire world becomes one. If we can find common ground, that would be a good start. The lesson that needs to be learned is to leave talk of religion off the table entirely when the focus is for peaceful relations. Lets face facts, everyone thinks that their religion is the correct one, how could we possibly use it as a means of peace or as a starting point? We, as a society, need to learn tolerance, and be color blind to other nations ways, and learn how not to be easily offended. Also learn how not to offend. When nations speak to each other, they should have common boundaries, ones of acceptance and dignity from one to another. Nations that have ambassadors & diplomats in other countries that do not have a full understanding of the culture should leave. No people should lose their identity, or the beliefs they hold dear. Ignorance is commonplace with cultures and people. This is why we must ensure from this day forward not to make strange advances towards another cultural belief structure, and hold those that do, accountable. Not the country itself. This peaceful world is still a possibility, should the others wish to join is free for the taking. You will however have to leave your arrogance, stubbornness, intolerance, indifference at the door before jumping in; otherwise your point will be lost.

One thing is for sure in an ever shrinking world, we need to find a common ground where we can all meet. Learning to be a singular minded society is an excellent place to start. For today some countries need to forgive, but not forget, and move on, so the hatred doesnt poison your land. Learn to accept the fact that mistakes can happen, even with the smartest of races

Jago India Jago


Nowadays, globally there is a wide dialogue about the economic growth in India and the development India is making. It is largely discussed that India along with China is growing to be the next Super Powers of the world thanks to the development in trade and industrial sectors especially in IT sector. It is also said that India has reached the level of fourth technoeconomic power in the world. And as per report, FBI has projected India to be the top world techno-economic power by 2030. We as Indians are really proud for the growth of our country. At last the hard work and the commitments to the work by the people are paid back with good and prosperous results. We see many Indians / Indian companies coming into the list of Fortune 500 companies of the world. But when looked to this issue closely and with open eyes, do we feel that India is on the race for the top place world techno-economic power? Within these 58 years (the post independence period), there has been vast deteriorating concerns that has shown alarming situation in the country. It is noticed that Indian villages are speedily bereaved from their natural roots. The Indian towns are quickly fading their conventional appeal, elegance and prosperity of life. The slums are fast increasing in cities, along with lots of dirt and garbage. Roads are jammed with traffic. There is a serious energy crisis. Our national resources show severe deterioration. The water and the atmosphere are getting highly polluted. Along with these, the precipitous increase in crime rates and fall in public values

are added up to this ruthless situation year after year. Moreover, it is also noticed that still there are places where supply of water, electric, other basic needs, etc has not even reached to the people. Proper education or proper awareness for education is not provided to the people. It is a shame to say that there are still people who are illiterate. Moreover, unemployment problem is on rise. Proper employment / self employment programmes are not conducted. This post independence period have shown that India is deeply trapped in a debt trap by taking huge loan from the World Bank, etc for the development. The results obtained from the perspiration (hard work) of the people are squeezed and squashed in order to pay back the huge loan taken. Where has the money gone, nobody cares to it. I say this because this money was taken for the development of the country, but there are many places where electricity, water, education are never provided. It is clearly seen that the only the urban areas were developed and the rural areas were totally as if ignored. The rich become richer, the poor become poorer. The corruption in India have rose to its peak. It has now become an important part of life. Now, the situation is such that without corruption being involved, even the smallest part of work cannot be progressed. Moreover, people fight each other in the name of religion (influenced by political people or religious community people). What to say about the religions, it has now slowly beginning a practice in each state where the state people start differentiating people of other states. The mentality of people has changed. No unity among the people. India as a country where all the states and union territories are considered as one whole country, but now India is slowly differentiated into different states. The people in India now like to be called like Maharastrian, Gujaratis, Keralites, Punjabis, Tamilians, Rajasthanis, etc. and now they are not interested in calling themselves as INDIANS. Where is the unity in India which the Honourable leaders like Gandhiji, Bhagat Singhji and others who had

sacrificed their lives to create this modern united free India. Even the study shows that if this chaotic condition is not properly ordered, it would affect the human behaviour adversely and the mental stress deepens. And the world says that India is developing. And the so-caalled Indian politicians bring out that the India is shining. How could this be? I do not understand. Do you understand??? The point is to bring the country as a whole united front. Work for the betterment in unity. The government have to seriously bring awareness of education the people, bring out better and productive employment / self employment programmes. Water, electric supplies and other facilities to the backward areas are to be provided in abundance. The programmes for cleaner India is to be made important. Proper utilisation of funds for different projects should be maintained. Corruption virus should be fought for eradication. The process of making rich richer and poor poorer should be removed and programmes for prosperous of every people involved should be made into practice. Exploitation and corruption should be unearthed and removed. Unity should be restored among people. Equal opportunities is to be given to the people irrespective of whether the person is related to any politician / industrialist / high society OR any one from the common people. If these become a custom and a system, then we can really say INDIA IS SHINING or INDIAN IS FAST GROWING TO BE ONE OF THE TOPMOST TECHNO-ECONOMIC POWER IN THE WORLD. But till then it is just one of the developing country trying desperately but also weakly trying to be near the developed countries.

Youth Rocks..!!
YOUTH HAVE some responsibility towards their country. We need to learn from yesterday and live with hope for better tomorrow. We can learn from our past how the young warriors shed their blood for the country. Hesitating to act because the whole vision might not be achieved, Or because others do not yet share it, is an attitude that hinders progress. It was with these words that Ashutosh Gowarikar made Swadesh, Indias first mainstream commercial film with its hearts in its place, when it talks about serving the nation. Yes, we had heard about shahrukh Khans realistic portrayal of Mohan Bhargava, the project manager working with NASA who come back to India, only to face ground realities. Shahrukhs was just a role, a performance But, there are many inspiring performance and the roles played by real life heroesIndians who served the nation to make it what it is today. It takes just a few minutes or seconds to expose intelligent humans to the most inevitable and powerful truth in life but it takes years to prove the same. And hey, we are alive and powerful. So lets look around and listen to cry of mother India, which is unheard. Choose your role and act appropriately. We all have some responsibility towards our country, which we must understand and practice Youth and nation have to walk hand in hand. Most important, the youth should be honest and hard working. Youth should stand against all the wrong doing in the country, Instead of blaming the system, young India should come together and with their toil should mould our nation for a better tomorrow. We, the youth should use our brain, strength, creativity and imagination to serve our nation. Instead of asking, whos going to fight the corporation?, we should do it ourselves. Rather than fighting upon the issues and running the country, we should learn to develop it.

I salute all those youths of the past who made an efforts to make a difference. We need to learn from yesterday and live with hopes for a better tomorrow. So we have to do our bit for the nation and be the change that we have always wanted. -Sandeep

Mom..I Didnt Drink..!!!


I went to a party Mom, I remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, Mom, So I drank soda instead. I really felt proud inside, Mom, The way you said I would. I didn't drink and drive, Mom, Even though the others said I should. I know I did the right thing, Mom, I know you are always right.. Now the party is finally ending, Mom, As everyone is driving out of sight.. As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd get home in one piece. Because of the way you raised me, So responsible and sweet. I started to drive away, Mom, But as I pulled out into the road, The other car didn't see me, Mom, And hit me like a load. As I lay there on the pavement, Mom, I hear the policeman say, "The other guy is drunk," Mom, And now I'm the one who will pay. I'm lying here dying, Mom.... I wish you'd get here soon. How could this happen to me, Mom? My life just burst like a balloon.

There is blood all around me, Mom, And most of it is mine. I hear the medic say, Mom, I'll die in a short time. I just wanted to tell you, Mom, I swear I didn't drink. It was the others, Mom. The others didn't think. He was probably at the same party as I. The only difference is, he drank And I will die. Why do people drink, Mom? It can ruin your whole life. I'm feeling sharp pains now. Pains just like a knife. The guy who hit me is walking, Mom, And I don't think it's fair. I'm lying here dying And all he can do is stare. Tell my brother not to cry, Mom. Tell Daddy to be brave. And when I go to heaven, Mom, Put "GOOD BOY " on my grave. Someone should have told him, Mom, Not to drink and drive. If only they had told him, Mom, I would still be alive. My breath is getting shorter, Mom. I'm becoming very scared. Please don't cry for me, Mom. When I needed you, you were always there. I have one last question, Mom. Before I say good bye. I didn't drink and drive, So why am I the one to die? -Ali Sayyed T.Y.BBI

No king ever stayed at Kings Circle . Nor did Queen Victoria stay at Victoria Terminus. Nor is there any princess at Princess Street . Lower Parel is at the same level as Parel There are no marines or sailors at Marine Lines. The Mahalaxmi temple is at Haji Ali not at Mahalaxmi. There are no pigs traded at Dukar bazaar. Teen bati is a junction of 3 roads, not three lamps. Trams used to terminate at Kings circle not Dadar* Tram Terminus (Dadar T.T.). Breach Candy is not a sweetmeat market, but there is a Hospital. Safed Pool has the dirtiest and blackest water. You cannot buy coal at Kolsa street. There are no Iron smiths at Lohar chawl. There are no pot makers at Kumbhar wada. Lokhandwala complex is not an Iron and steel market. Null bazaar does not sell taps. You will not find ladyfingers at Bheendi Bazaar. Kalachowki does not have a black Police station.

AMCHI MUMBAI
A City where everything is possible, especially the impossible . Where lovers first love and then marry, Where there is place for every Tom, Dick and Harry Where telephone bills make a person ill, Where a person cannot sleep without a pill. Where carbon-dioxide is more than oxygen, Where the road is considered to be a dustbin, Where college canteens are full and classes empty, Where Adam teasing is also making an entry, Where a cycle reaches faster than a car, Where everyone thinks himself to be a star, Where sky scrapers overlook the slum, Where houses collapse as the monsoon comes, Where people first act and then think, Where there is more water in the pen than ink, Where the roads see-saw in monsoon, Where the beggars become rich soon, Where the roads are levelled when the minister arrives, Where college admission means hard cash, Where cement is frequently mixed with ash. This is Mumbai my dear, But don't fear, just cheer, come to Mumbai every year! -Ali Sayyed T.Y.BBI

From the Principals Desk


Life comes to a full circle after entering the portals of Versova Welfare Trust KMCC. It was here that I had begun my career as a teen primary teacher of this institution way back in the sixties and moved on to achieve academic hallmarks in my career spanning 41 years as an educator. Nostalgia greeted me on the very first day of office when Mr. Mazhar batch of 1968- 69 recognised me as his Flora teacher of Std. I. He was there check the admission list of his daughter, and in that connection visited my office. Tears of joy filled him subsequently bringing a huge bouquet to congratulate me. Having being born and bred in Seven Bunglows childhood memories of open spaces and grounds where I grew up filled my memory. Word spread across and my old friends and neighbors dropped in to greet me. The institution has travelled a long way from a humble tin shed and first floor structure. I recollect in the days gone by there was no high school in the area and the Trust fulfilled the need. I was glad to know that KMCC was a decade old and is vision of building responsible citizens of the society was well under way. The student body is a mix of all strata of society wanting to climb the ladder of success through education. They are young enthusiastic full of dreams to make it happen and the faculty steers the ship of success. The past few months have been very hectic, meeting parents, recruiting faculty and setting the tone of student centered institution. Much still remains to be achieved as space crunch in terms of infrastructure is the main obstacle to all future plans. Hoping that the silver lining will be construction of more floors to ease the suffocation.

On being A Teacher
Teachers are those who use themselves as bridges, over which they invite students to cross; then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own -Nikos Kazantzakis This saying stayed with throughout my student years and many times I wondered what bridges they could be. Bridges to connect teachers and students or bridges about the future of the students. The answer was finally found when I decide to become a teacher myself, much to the surprise and awe of my family and friends. Growing up we all have a role models, mine was English teacher at school , Miss Gita Krishnan and the love that she created for English language stayed with me for a long time to come. Maybe that teacher found an outgoing, extrovert, spark and I was found compeering all the schools Annual Day As a student of grade 10 circa to the year 2009.When I compared the college annual day, I somewhere thought, my dear Miss Krishnan would have been one happy teacher to see her own student compeering or having become a Business Communication Professor herself. Just being on the stage filled me with warm memories and I suddenly realized the bridge and how I now encouraged my students to compeer and when they did I finally.well joyfully collapsed. My mother who by virtue of being an English teacher herself (No pun intended) may have also silently planted the seed for the love of books and English language and was quite surprised herself when I decided to pursue my carrier as a teacher. There I was with one MASTERS DEGREE and decided that if career in Teachingthen so it is..!! I started working on my plan which involved arming myself with technical degree and it had to be none but the best and in the best country.USA. The city...Boston-MECCA of learning and University town in the United States. My

preparation was extraordinary, just the GRE exam and TOEFL and off I flew to the University of MASSACHUSEITS, Boston Campus, to get a MASTERS IN EDUCATION (MED). My student years in Boston city were spent in the merry time of learning as well as getting a Global Education that we so often talk about. I loved my teachers and had some great idea exchanges over coffee and email and at Christmas dinners. Every semester and every class, I just grew to love my professors, who made my resolve to become a professor even stronger. My professors were by the way from all over the world, in race , color and country and so were my classmates. Every class we were just taught, -A Teacher is a lifelong learner, and when we went out as interns every semester in Boston City Schools, I understood. I was to absorb everything like a sponge and I did. All the children that I taught, grade 3, grade 4. Time used to get rough when I learned to teach students in special education with learning disabilities and my days and years to finish my masters degree, all passed too quickly. When I walked up to receive my degree on my graduation day, all my professors told me, A teacher is a lifelong learner. Keep absorbing. I returned home to India to understand that the lifelong learning still made sense, a lot of sense. I understood it all along and now when I put it into practice; I understand it even deeper and further. The values and Ethos about teaching have changed, the way students dress and address teachers have changed. But one thing remains ever so constant THE BRIDGE, where I was invited by my own teacher to cross and where now my students have crossed and will go a long way to create bridges of their own. -Payal Vighne BMS Co-coordinator

New ways of teaching...


Teaching should be full of ideas instead of stuffed with facts. . After my graduation in Banking and finance I was working with J.W.Marriot as a Finance Associate in taxation department for 1 year. Thanks to this that I have a little knowledge regarding the corporate sector. During my student year I always thought of giving back the knowledge to the society. As Anna Garlin Spencer quotes The experience of the race shows that we get our most important education not through books but through our work. We are developed by our daily task, or else demoralized by it, as by nothing else. I always wanted to share practical and real kind of knowledge so that a student is aware of what is going on in the world. I decided to enter teaching profession to expose the students with my knowledge. The aim of education should be to teach how to think, than what to think - rather to improve students minds, so as to enable them to think for yourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men. I started my profession from MMK College as a visiting faculty for around 3-4 months and then I landed up in Kamala Mehta as a professor teaching management students. This college is my stepping stone towards my profession of teaching. For the very first time I got an opportunity to be among the teachers to correct the university papers and also a great exposure to the profession of teaching. This is the first time m enjoying my profession with the students. All schools, all colleges, have two great functions: to confer, and to conceal, valuable knowledge. The theological knowledge which they conceal cannot justly be regarded as less valuable than that which they reveal. That is, when a man is buying a basket of strawberries it can profit him to know that the bottom half of it is rotten. I think friendly environment will attract more students and will give more exposure to them.

In the end I would like to say to all the students Hard work is the key to success, so work diligently on any project you undertake. If you truly want to be successful, be prepared to give up your leisure time and work past 5 PM and on weekends. Also, have faith in yourself. If you come up with a new idea that you believe in, don't allow other people to discourage you from pursuing it. - Prashant Dingrani

Short Story.
Mr. Aditya Suresh Joshi), age 19, studying in 1st year of engineering, died in Keshvani Hospital, Mumbai. He was admitted in Keshavani Hospital as burned patient.4 days back this boy had gone to Amravati (One of the district place located in State of Maharashtra ) on study tour. After their study was over, he, his classmates & his teachers, all of them were standing on "Badnera" railway station to catch the train. "Badnera" is the name of the railway station for " Amravati " city. As soon as they arrived on Badnera Railway station, many of them started taking pictures of their friends using "Mobile Phones" and/or "Digital Camera". One of them complained that, in his camera, he was not able to capture more number of friends in one frame. He was not able to catch the angle. Another boy suggested that let's climb on train boogie and take picture so that all of them can be accommodated in single frame. At that there was one goods wagon (all of them were oil tankers) train resting between 2 main railway lines. Kumar Aditya climbed up oil boogie. Above his head, 40,000 volts electrical line was passing through. As soon as he clicked the digital camera? 40,000 volt current passed through the camera flash light to his camera and then from his camera to his fingers and then from his fingers to his body. All this happened within fraction of minutes. Next moment he was thrown from the top. His body was half burned on the spot. At that time, his father (my friend) was traveling in Bangkok . His many friends in Pune came to know about this via mobile SMS. They instantly arranged air ambulance in Amravati and his burned body was brought to Keshavani Hospital , Mumbai. i was told that this is the best hospital in Mumbai. For 1 and 1/2 day or so he was talking to his relatives. When he was admitted to

the hospital, at that time only, doctor informed his relatives that don't keep great hopes. Because of lot of complex issues in half burned body? He died yesterday morning. * Now how many of us are aware about this technological threats & dangers? Honestly, Kumar Aditya and his father was not aware. His family was not aware. Our entire friend circle of more than 12,000, we were not aware. Now should we call ourselves as fully educated and fully knowledgeable people? Think of it. Please avoid mobile phones on petrol outlets. Please avoid talking on mobile phones while driving. i also know many of my friends who do not bother about this good suggestion and each one of them have opted for "Chalta Hai Yaar Attitude". Please avoid talking on mobile phones while they are in charging mode. Avoid charging mobile phones near Your bed and/or near wooden furniture. Avoid mobile phones near high voltage electrical lines like railway stations and use flash lights. My friend, his family members and we all friends learned our lesson with loss of young life. Now Would You like to empower Your friends about this accident so as to avoid future accidents? We can save human life by empowering all the IT users who are in Your network? i have done "My Karma {with deep pains & tears in my eyes}" by empowering You about this horrible experience. -Swati Parab.

A Footballer or an Athlete
The greatest sport has to be the one that includes the best athletes, requires the most skill in choosing plays, and rakes in the most prominent television contract of all. The game that fulfills all these criteria is football. Football draws from the largest base of athletes, which means the best players come to the sport. Football depends on substantial amounts of speed, strength and intelligence. Every football play that is initiated requires exact positioning and precision from every player on the field, which means there is little room for error. One of the finest and most promising footballer in our college is Mr.Sherwyn Sutarde from T.Y.BCOM(B) who is trained under Mr.Emanuel whos from Nigeria after his Primary school. A simple guy like all of us was inspired by his dad who was a footballer. Hes also been called as an best athlete.

Speed Stamina Strength Spirit Sense For him football is not his profession its his love and dedication towards this game which always makes him play. More than a footballer he like to be an athlete as for him in athletics everything depends on you, how you perform the best is what matters whereas in football its a team work. In football even if you are giving your best the team also needs to give their best. Athelete is one mans job and determination. Mr.sherwyn wants the college to give proper training to the footballers and should have a good coach because a coach is a coach,no one can beat the coach. The sportsman knows that a sport is a recreation, a game, an amusement and a pastime, but his eyes are fixed on a higher goal, on the most important thing in his life, which is his education or his vocation.

A Gentlemans Game: Cricket


Cricket is a most precarious profession; it is called a team game but, in fact, no one is so lonely as a batsman facing a bowler supported by ten fieldsmen and observed by two umpires to ensure that his error does not go unpunished. John Arlott Mr. Malik Gillani from T.Y.BMS says The game that I always played as a little boy again became my prime sport contribution towards my institution, no guesses the game was Cricket, Cricket basically is more than a game to everyone in India and is special to everyone in their own sweet ways similarly it is to me.

As BMS and BBI sections were small he was mostly the Skipper (captain) of the college team, he is basically Fast Bowler and a Middle order batsman when he used to play for the North Bombay team. For him playing for the college was one of his dreams which came true even though at an intercollegiate level. He was achieving quite allot because the

Game has no bounds and no levels. He says Whenever we have played a game against our prime focus has been respecting the opponent and building a competitive spirit, and leave winning or losing to your play and destiny He quotes K.S. Rangitsinhji A run is more difficult to make than no save, because batting is in its nature a far less certain and reliable thing than bowling and fielding. So to sum up he says Cricket has been very special and probably would be Because the spirit of the Game is amazing and the love for it is true to the core, last but not the least all i would want to say is to Achieve a mark in any sport, Neva consider yourself bigger than the Game, respect the game and play it in the right sportsman spirit and "The first thing is to love your sport. Never do it to please someone Else. It has to be yours.

Creativity:
Mehndi is the art of henna painting. The best thing about Mehndi, as opposed to other books of its genre, is the way Rome doesn't just focus on the act of applying the paste, but also of the meaning for each design. Certain designs have certain meanings and it's best to know those ahead of time. Wandering around with a wonderful spiral pattern that looks great but means that you're widowed might have an adverse reaction from people who know their stuff. Akansha started practicing mehendi since her 10th std. she have completed only 2 months course out of 6 months in mehndi designing. Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.~Scott Adams. But in spite of that she have been a outstanding mehndi designer since last 3 years. She have got many achievements for her art of mehndi in intercollegiate and college events. When she was in her junior college she managed to grab many intercollegiate awards. 1st prize from Ascendity (Churchgate) 2nd prize Ascendity (Malad) 3rd prize (Patkar college) 1st prize from Pravah (festival of Nagindas Khandelwal) And many more outside the college too..

Arm wrestler
Wrestling is an ancient martial art that uses grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds. A wrestling bout is a physical competition, generally between two people, who attempt to gain and maintain a position. Arm wrestling is about power, passion & willpower. One of the known wrestlers of our college Mr. Someshwar nadar

says I like the game of Arm wrestling as it is the game of power. In Arm Wrestling the person should have the will to win against anyone who is stronger than him. The victory of person depends on his willpower to win an arm wrestling match because his opponent could be stronger than him. Wrestling was something which he never imagined that hell get into. It was only when in 10th std his school teacher told him to join the class of wrestling and boxing. He adds I was a bit scared for my first match but had a strong willpower to win that match anyhow. And only because of my willpower I came 2nd in Boxing and 1st in Arm Wrestling & Weight Lifting. This is where I started my journey. He have participated in Arm wrestling events at inter collegiate level.

Do you think you can Dance?


"Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, your breathing. It's the rhythm of your life. It's the expression in time and movement, in happiness, joy, sadness and envy." ~Jacques DAmboise Dance is something which cannot be defined, it is a feeling and interpretation or execution of that feeling says an excellent dancer and topper of t.y.bms Ms. Arpee Doshi. It is a passion for her and says that every person in world is found of dancing whether he/she knows it or not.

The Boxer.
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, and a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, and they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. Muhammad Ali

and the belt. Its not about how you play but how fair you play, how u dodge the opponent and knock him down He started boxing 7 years back. He says it was just a thought which came in my mind and it became my passion. He was not trained under any one but cultivated himself in such a way that today he is training 18 people under him. He is currently associated with 2 boxing clubs; one is Sai Club (Sports Association India), Kandivali and second is Boxing Stars in Jogeshwari (E). In his entire career of 7 years he have entered the ring 41 times and won 32 tag ships. He has represented Maharashtra 3 times and has won 2 gold medals and 1 Bronze. Hes thankful to the college for giving him the opportunity to give coaching in the college to the students for 3 years and have got a very good response from the students and the faculty members for taking the students out for boxing events as getting an experience by the student would implicate their morale to get themselves trained as what he wants to be. And adds up I want my college to organize a boxing event not only for the students but also for outside college. For an athlete student needs training; not only for boxing but also for sports activities. For them the time slot should be adjusted so that they can attend lectures and training sessions too. In the end he concludes his interview with a quote by Jack Dempsey A champion is someone who gets up when he can't.

Boxing is the magic of men in combat, the magic of will, and skill, and pain, and the risking of everything so you can respect yourself for the rest of your life. This our strong boxer of the college Mr. Steve Francis believes in. He says you get inside the ring not just to defeat the opponent but also to achieve tag ship

To "act" is the performance of a character in a theatre play, on television or in films and movies. Acting can also be an improvisation, whereby an actor creates a character off the top of his or her head, and performs that character by making up lines, situations and confrontations. The process of acting originated in Greece, hundreds of years ago. The first actor is believed to be Thespis of Icaria. Acting is the process by which an actor creates a character or reads on from a script, transforms himself or herself into that character and attempts to convince an audience that he or she is that character in real life. Acting performances are considered successful when the actor is successful at making the character appear to be a real-life person, with all the emotions, complexities and dimensions of a real human being. An actor is a very broad term that refers to a person who acts or performs a character in a production. The term actor can be applied to many different type of performances. For example, an actor can perform in a movie. An actor can perform in a television program. An actor can perform in a theatrical production.

Ms.Pooja Yadav one of the active student of kamala Mehta who is not only a bright student of T.Y.BMS but also is known for her various skills.

Political Humour:
An Ant & the Grasshopper *OLD VERSION* The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold . * MODERN VERSION* The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving. NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house. Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other grasshoppers demanding that grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter.

Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticize the Indian Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the grasshopper. The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance) . Opposition MPs stage a walk out. Left parties call for "Bharat Bandh" in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry. CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among ants and grasshoppers. Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'. Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act [POTAGA]", with effect from the beginning of the winter. Arjun Singh makes Special Reservation for Grass Hopper in educational Institutions & in Govt. Services. The ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV. Arundhati Roy calls it "a triumph of justice". Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice'. CPM calls it the 'revolutionary resurgence of the downtrodden'

Koffi Annan invites the grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly. Many years later...The ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi billion dollar company in silicon valley.100s of grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in India . As a result loosing lot of hard working ants and feeding the grasshoppers, India is still a developing country..... . Can any one dare to bring India out of this clutches.?!?!?!..

Suggestions

56

We conducted a survey within the college among the students and teachers and we thankful to everyone for supporting us in this survey with their honest and genuine suggestions. Following is the report: 1) Infrastructure & other Facilities in Kamala Mehta:The college walls should be painted again and the leakages in the ceiling of the classrooms should be repaired. The classrooms are less; there are no sports room, gymkhana, or proper campus for the students. The canteen services are unhygienic in terms of the people working and serving. There should be different canteen for college students & school students as it is the basic need of a college student. Broader benches should be added in some class and there should be separate duster for every class. The library of the college should be big so that more students can sit & study. Computerisations of the library as per the MAAC, proper counter for students to take the books. 2) Events & Extracurricular Activities in the college: In our college there should inter college competitions & sports events should be organized which includes indoor & outdoor both. No proper events are conducted except Annual Day, Rose day etc. No festival is conducted by the college. Students willing to participate in the festivals of other colleges are not funded and this demotivates the performers. Management students should be given initiatives to organize such kind of Events & festivals in the college and the college should also support them.

3)Education System in Kamala Mehta College: It is very good as teachers are very supportive and very good. The copies of books should be increased in the library. We are not allowed in the computer lab except during presentations that we have to inform them hence forth. Proper regular lectures are been conducted. Concepts are being cleared with necessary examples. There are no Campus interviews for specialized courses like BMS and other courses. There has not been a single presentations conducted in F.Y. BMS. There is most of theory teaching whereas there should be more practical teaching. 4)If given a chance to become a principal of Kamala Mehta College.. Giving personal attention towards students by knowing their views. The surrounding should be in such a manner that student will get more attracted towards the college by upgrading the infrastructure. I would divide Management & B.com by giving them different floors i.e. one whole floor for Management, B.com & B.B.i. I would like to make the canteen bigger. Will be more student friendly and understand the things the liberal way and make them feel comfortable. Regular feedback from students about all the facilities provided by the college. I would have like to introduce new courses like BAF & BMM.
