Higher education in India to get global touch
‘1.46 crore students study in 600 universities, 32,000 colleges’
Deputy director general of Union higher education department Vijay P Goel said the government was making efforts to bring about major changes in course structure and content to make courses relevant, keeping in view global perspective.
Delivering the fifth graduates day address at JSS College of Arts, Commerce and Science here on Saturday, he said attempts were on to establish a National Commission for Higher Education; to set up inter-university centres with sophisticated analytical facility; to set up exclusive management information system and to transform academic staff colleges into faculty development centres.
He pointed out that 1.46 crore students were studying in 600 universities or university level institutions and 32,000 colleges — comprising around six lakh faculty members.
“A number of measures were taken to enhance the quality of higher education during the XI Five Year Plan period, the efforts would continue even during the XII Plan period. The foreign education institutions (regulation and entry operations) bill and higher education and research bill would be introduced in the Parliament soon,” he said.
Stressing on the employability of graduates and postgraduates, Goel said attention is being given to the area of vocationalisation of higher education.
“The Universities Grants Commission has prepared a document on higher education ‘Inclusive and Qualitative Expansion of Higher Education’ to give insight into the sector. It states that ‘Access, Equity and Excellence’ have been realised due to concerted efforts,” he said.
Calling upon the students to acquire the art of using knowledge and skills not only to make one’s life good but also for the greater good of the society, he stressed on the ‘real education’ one gets after passing out of educational institutions.
Three toppers each in each of the five degree level and five PG level courses were honoured on the occasion. The toppers got cash prizes also.
Principal B V Sambashivaiah, deputy secretary of JSS Mahavidyapeeth S P Manjunath, director of education T D Subbanna, S Kumar and S Shivakumaraswamy were present on the occasion.
Madras University launches Audio library to aid blind students
It used to be an ordeal for visually impaired college students to read books at the University of Madras library as they needed a person to read them loud.
Now the university has solved the problem by starting a “talking library” with over 500 compact discs and audio cassettes.
Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, Vice-Chancellor G. Thiruvasagam, who demitted office on Friday, said that the visually impaired students faced lot of hassles to read books in the university library as somebody had to sit with them to read out the books. Now, the varsity has come up with the concept of “talking library”.
“We have over 1,000 visually impaired students and others who prepare for civil service examinations coming to our library daily as we have several old reference books. In the first phase we have purchased 600 compact discs and cassettes from an NGO in Madurai,” he said.
Pointing out that the library would add more titles this year, Prof. Thiruvasagam said that the varsity spent `2.5 lakhs for the first phase of the project.
“A total of 17 students can use the facility at the same time and we will soon expand the facilities,” he said. Saravanan, a visually impaired student, urged the university to add more titles which pertains not only to civil service examinations but competitive exams like National Eligibility Test (NET) and State Level Eligibility Test (SLET).
“This facility will be of good help to us as we have a similar facility at Anna Centenary Library in Kotturpuram,” he said.

Library readying digital hall of fame for rare and old books
KAVYA PRADEEP KUMAR
Antique texts is being preserved in the ongoing digital drive
It may be a crumbly text with a frail spine from the outside, but its pages hide a rare treasure. The book, lying buried among volumes in the Public Library, contain meticulously drawn illustrations of what appears to be statues and engravings in temples.
According to one of the librarians here, a visit by a painter who is involved in the renovation work at the Madurai Meenakshi temple revealed that the drawings in the book are indeed sketches of the original from the temple, drawn to scale and with an anecdote scribbled in Tamil beneath each sketch.
ANONYMOUS ARTIST
Probably one of the rarest books here, the unfortunate part is no one knew who the artist is or who gave this rare manuscript to the library. “It was just there among the collection,” said a staff.
This book is among the many antique texts here that will be preserved in the digital drive going on in the library for the past few years.
In a phased manner, the library, in association with the Centre for Development of Imaging Technology (C-DIT), has been scanning government gazettes and original documents dating back to 1538.
The materials are available for viewing only in the Local Area Network of the library and in time, they will be uploaded to the Net.
“The library has completed work with gazettes between the 1904 and 1954,” another staff said.
Aside from creating a PDF format of the documents, those involved in the work had to go through a painstaking task of making corrections and eliminating loopholes.
In-built with a Malayalam keyboard and a dictionary, the software is capable of making connections with variants of the same word.
For instance, keying in ‘Travancore’ in the search box, will also display documents containing ‘Thiruvithancode’ in Malayalam and a Tamil version as well.
They have now begun work on gazettes dating post-1954. Few more old books are left to be converted and 1,183 of them have already been uploaded to the server.

InfoVision 2012
The 6th edition of InfoVision will be held on October 19 & 20 at SAP Labs, Bangalore. The theme of InfoVision 2012 is “ SMAC ( Social, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud) is smart”.
SMAC is the latest acronym to enter the jargon-filled technology space. SMAC--an acronym for Social, Mobility, Analytics, and Cloud has entered the business conversations in a big way. Experts and business heads believe that SMAC will help companies to ride the next wave of business opportunities and is also expected to help Indian companies to innovate and move away from traditional business models. Industry veterans see an integrated SMAC to change the way companies do business in future. Based on the industry trending, a unified Social, Mobile, Analytics (Big Data predominantly) and Cloud based solutions appear to be the 'next big thing'.
The combined potential of SMAC technologies is estimated to be $70 billion to $200 billion over the next three years. And, that's the reason why most of the software vendors today are betting on SMAC.
Source: Gartner Report
Research firm Gartner terms it as the nexus of four IT forces — cloud, social, mobile, and information (in other words analytics). Those forces, along with the continued impact of consumer spending, are expected to essentially set the stage for the next generation of capabilities that drive new business scenarios.
