It seems like yesterday that we began our journey at Galgotias
University – a journey towards excellence. What a fulfilling year it has
been for everyone; a year full of exciting learning. The past one year
has been remarkable for the university in a number of different ways.
You are aware that Block 1, an architectural marvel and a state-of-the-
art academic infrastructure, is fully operational now. We have also
established a high-tech library and a digital library in this building
where the entire library function has been automated. Students can
not only study here in peace but also access hundreds of international
journals, research papers and e-books. We have built some of the fin-
est labs here and are in the process of building more which will have
little parallels in this country.
We understand that the pillars of an educational institution are its faculty members and we
have had some of the best brains from Industry and prominent Institutions joining us in the last
one year. Recent joining of renowned academicians at the leadership positions is the testimony
of our commitment to developing your inherent skills and ensures your holistic development as
the future architects of our nation. As far as industry-academia interaction is concerned, the
university has already signed agreement with Infosys, Oracle, Microsoft, Capegemini and ICICI
Bank to further provide facilities to our students to nurture their academic goals and industry
preparedness.In addition to this, the university has also signed MoU with Purdue University
Calumet, USA and Northern Illinois University, USA. The scope of these agreements include
short and long-term faculty exchange, undergraduate and graduate student exchange, collabo-
rative research and discovery, engagement, learning and teaching.
At Galgotias University, we believe that Interdisciplinary learning is a way to build bridges to
overcome disciplinary isolation. It is an excellent preparation for the role of a global citizen and
a successful professional in a pluralistic, technological, and democratic society. We made
enormous, well-coordinated and purposeful efforts for the seamless integration of the chosen
major-minor subjects.
Students’ societies and clubs organized a wide range of social events and sporting activities
during the year. Meanwhile, our mentors also provided in-depth counseling and advice on
everything from learning to health and finances throughout the year.
I take this opportunity to thank all stake holders at the university especially faculty members,
staff and students for making this a wonderful year. It is always exciting to receive students who
are full of renewed enthusiasm for learning after a long respite. We look forward to your return
along with newly admitted students when school opens on Wednesday, August 1st and not to
wonder where the songs of spring have gone, but instead to listen to the music of the Fall
semester.
Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too, -
(John Keats Ode to Autumn)
Coming days are bound to bring more excitement as we are all set for providing a whole range
of exceptional educational programmes and a real transformation at Galgotias University. Wish
you all a happy learning and a pleasant stay at Galgotias.

Guest lecture by Mr Rajesh Sehgal
Sr. Vice President, Human Resources Division, InfoTech Enterprises Limited, Noida
Galgotias University MBA students had the
privilege to attend the guest lecture by
Mr. Rajesh Sehgal, Sr. Vice President, Human
Resources Division, InfoTech Enterprises
Limited, Noida organised by the School of
Business on 14th May 2012. He delivered a
lecture on BALANCE SCORE CARD. InfoTech
Enterprises is a global engineering services
company specializing in geospatial,
engineering design and IT solutions with
8700 plus associates spanning 27
nationalities over 34 locations. At InfoTech he is responsible for leading the Talent
Engagement and Talent Development function. He has been instrumental in InfoTech
winning various awards for its innovative HR practices from NHRD in June 2011, Asia
Pacific HRM Congress in September 2011 and Asia’s Best Employer Brand Awards in July
2011. Since July 2002 he has been President of an NGO called “To the Heart”. This NGO
supports the education of 100 under-privileged children in Delhi and is completely run
and financed by the employees of InfoTech. The occasion also saw the esteemed presence
of Prof. (Dr.) Renu Luthra, Director, GBS and Dr. Sushil Dixit, HOD, School of Business,
along with other faculty members.
During his lecture at Galgotias University Mr. Sehgal discussed with students the concept
of Balance Score Card, the importance of balance score card and how companies are using
this concept. He explained the concepts to the students like an academician. Mr. Sehgal
interacted with the students throughout his lecture. The students, studying the topic in
their course, were limited to the bookish knowledge till they interacted with Mr. Sehgal
and came to know the nitty-gritty of the subject in detail and its practical applicability in
industry as well. The session ended with a round of question-answers where the
remaining doubts of the students were cleared by the Guest Speaker.

On the last instructional day of the Winter semester
University, Galgotias students had their chance to do a
little masti on Aaj Tak. Galgotias University became
the centre for the famous college show on Aaj Tak
news channel ‘Masti Ki Pathshala’.
It all started when the reporter from Aaj Tak managed
to enter a class room of Galgotias University having
students from many streams. Her questions were
informal so were the answers given by the students.
Discussion went at length about the campus, its
locations, surroundings and a lot about beyond
academics. A dance number from an MBA student was
performed as a dare thrown to girls from boys.
In the second part the shoot started in lobby and many
dares were thrown in the arena. An arm wrestling match became hit when students started chanting the names of people
in it. A great singing talent was shown by Anurag of MBA when Aaj Tak reporter asked for it.
Sports Club was not far behind cultural when it came to show talent. Aaditya, the student head for sports displayed his
athletic abilities by doing some mouth whopping stunts.
The third part of shoot was shot at the Music room and started with the beats of Ankit Godley’s drums. In the third and
final part the reporter entered the Music room. It was Ankit Godley the best drummer on campus who caught her
attention. His rhythmic drum beats did get a lot of applause.
This way ended one of the most amazing and interactive days in
Galgotias students’ campus life.

It is well known that Physics and Mathematics are the backbone of
engineering. One has to have a clear-cut understanding of these
subjects while applying them in engineering. However, a blind
application of Physics will create a lot of trouble and confusion. This
can be illustrated by taking a simple problem of “Flow of current”.
As per the definition, the current is the rate of flow of charge.
However, if you blindly apply this definition while designing the
power line you may land in trouble. Let us assume that you are
asked to design a power line of 100km length with a bulb of 10
ohms as a load using Copper cable using a source. Now you
proceed to calculate the time taken by the charge to reach the
destination. If you take the standard values of the
parameters of copper cable of 5mm radius and calculate
the time for the electrons to reach the bulb you will get
a figure of roughly 445 years. Naturally, you will try
to check and recheck the calculations and you will
find the same result. Then what happened? In
fact it is not the Drift velocity of electrons but it
is the Electromagnetic Propagation velocity
which travels with the velocity of light.
But again, if we use free space value of
velocity of light you will have some
practical difficulties because the propagation
velocity in typical coaxial cable with copper based central conductor
is about 66% of the velocity of light. Hence the time will be roughly
505µs.
The problem of an engineer does not stop here, who is going to
design a nationwide network which is much bigger than 100km with
using the wavelength of 6000km (50Hz) and the transmission line
parameters like distributed elements which will take more time to
charge.
In designing a complete power grid, the practical aspects such as
losses, effective consumer load, load profiles, failure and reliability
analysis and cost optimization are also to be considered.
Moreover, no such thing as perfect electronic capacitors, frictionless
surfaces, noiseless systems are available. In a nutshell, the real
world is quite complicated. So, the heart of any engineering is
understanding reality through theorizing and experimentation
which is naturally a physicists’ job and finding applications and
ingenuity to circumvent implementation problems will be engineers’
job.
In order to design the new system apart from the exposure to
established engineering truths and best practices coupled with art
and technology should be taken into account and for this one has to
master such concepts which will take time and patience.
A modern era of science and technology with multiple planes of
knowledge is required for system development of any kind. For
example, to design a computer chip you must know materials like
Silicon, layout (lithography), A/D(sigma-delta), real-time operating
systems etc. Also don’t forget to introduce art and beauty in
designing the system. As an example Eiffel Tower was designed with
a lot of structural calculations, mathematical computation and
other engineering related parameters. However, the designers
saw to it that it should have an aesthetic value also.
Second example is I-phone which is very small and
compact and has been designed in such a way that apart
from looking beautiful it is so much users friendly that
the supplier provided only page of operating
manual. If there are many designing options,
don’t forget the Occam’s razor which says that
the simpler of two competing theories mak-
ing exactly the same predictions is better.
Engineers also sometimes suffer with partial credit mentality and
ignoring the team spirit. Tacoma Narows Bridge that collapsed on
November 7, 1940 as the leader did not consider the natural
frequency at which resonance occurs if same frequency is impressed
upon. That’s what happened when wind speed was 60 miles per
hour on that fateful day. It was known as the death of civil
engineering at that time.
Similar thing happened with Hindenburg (1937) disaster. Now
finally the engineers should not ignore ethical problems . It is now
known that the Challenger Disaster in 1986 was due to failure of a
small component O-ring seal which was not tested at a temperature
below 4 degree Celsius and the temperature in Florida was -8
degree Celsius and this fact was known to the engineer who
designed it.

On behalf of the entire team of The G-Post, I welcome you to
Galgotias University.
Tell us something about yourself?
First of all, I am honored to be chosen by the Chancellor, Suneel
Galgotia, to lead the Galgotias University as its Vice Chancellor. I am
looking forward to working with all the faculty, staff and students
toward the vision of creating a world-class university known for its
student centeredness and for multidisciplinary education and
research programs.
I also want to take this opportunity to warmly welcome all the new
and returning students and wish them a successful academic year.
To your question, I graduated from IIT Kanpur with a degree in
Mechanical Engineering in 1970 at a time when opportunities for
engineers in India, unlike today, were quite limited. After having
lived in United States for almost 40+ years during which I was able
to achieve a lot in research and in higher education, I look forward
to serving GU in its formative years. I have a blend of private
industry and academic background that includes 9 years at the
Westinghouse Research and Development Center following my PhD
in Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering from the
University of Cincinnati, 18 years at Georgia Tech as a faculty
member and as department head and the last 9 years as the Dean of
Engineering and an endowed chair and Distinguished Professor at
the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. I hope to use this
extensive experience in building a team of world-class faculty and
administrative staff to benefit GU students. I do not underestimate
the enormity of this task but I cannot imagine a better way to spend
the next several years of my professional career. In the days and
months ahead, I look forward to getting to know the GU community
and build a strategic plan to move ahead.
What has motivated you to join Galgotias University?
Returning to India and giving back to the country that gave me such
a great start in life has always been my dream. I was truly blessed
with having the most supportive and highly educated
parents who did everything so their children would have access to
the best education the country could provide at the time. Now, I
have an opportunity to give back to benefit thousands of students.
I have, in bits and pieces, attempted to give back in small ways for a
number of years but this commitment is at a very different level and
I am really looking forward to the challenge. I am also very cognizant
of the fact that a project of this magnitude can only be executed with
considerable help from a team of people that are like-minded and
share the goals and are committed to pursue them relentlessly.
The higher education scenario in India is buzzing with excitement;
there is widely-held belief that it needs changes at the structural
level but the good news is that there is sufficient infusion of private
and government financial resources to enable the change. Equally
important is the well accepted fact that there is abundance of talent
available among India’s youth with a desire to succeed in higher
education and there is also considerable value placed on higher
education by parents. When you combine those factors with the
opportunity to lead a brand new university, the motivation to join
the GU team is obvious; I consider it the once in life-time
opportunity that every academician dreams about!
What are your future plans?
My plans are to immerse myself in the service of Galgotias
University and build the foundation of an institution that will be
recognized for excellence in multidisciplinary education and
research. In turn, this will serve UP, India and the world by
producing future innovators and leaders who will significantly
contribute to economic development of their communities.
What is the status of technical and management education in
the USA?
No system is ever perfect and the US education system is no
exception! With that said, I believe that the US higher education
system is the best in the world when you consider its size and also
the diverse population that it serves so effectively. It has for decades,
served not only its own citizens, but to a large extent the world. The
quality of innovation that goes on amongst its faculty, students and
its graduates is truly remarkable. The system does not permit
anyone to rest on their laurels but rather incentivizes them to strive
for continuous improvement via defined strategic objectives and
action plans and it seeks out excellence and openly rewards it. The
system is also flexible enough to allow students and faculty to
develop their strengths and passion so that they can be creative and
are able to distinguish themselves in meaningful ways. This
approach allows people to grow professionally while simultaneously
enhancing the prestige of their institutions. The higher education
system has amazing depth in quality where a student can have a
great educational experience in literally a thousand of universities
that have carved their own niche in their strengths.
Vice Chancellor, Dr. Ashok Saxena Unplugged
In the Making of a
World-Class University
We are embarking on a road to build a world-class university and it can only
happen if every member of the GU family contributes their ideas to achieve a
common vision and vigorously pursues them, says Prof. Ashok Saxena in an
interview with The G-Post , who has recently taken over as the Vice
Chancellor of the Galgotias University.
6YEAR 1 | ISSUE 3 | JULY, 2012
The US education system is also being challenged by their
stake-holders to deliver quality education at affordable costs. The
universities are adjusting to this new reality by trying new
approaches to enhance learning while controlling costs. The
availability of on-line degree programs and courses pose a serious
challenge for the “bricks and mortar” approach to higher
education. In spite of some challenges, every US citizen who is inter-
ested in furthering his/her education still has access to
quality higher education that adds considerable value to their pro-
fessional development. Every institution is unique with its own set
of published goals that serve the needs of their
stake-holders and the faculty and the staff of the institution
understand their respective roles and are motivated and
empowered to pursue excellence within those parameters.
Team-work and synergy created by this style of management is one
of the main reasons for the success of the overall system.
Do you see reverse brain drain a reality in today’s
economically booming India?
“Brain drain” is a term that applies to the mass migration of
technical professionals such as engineers, doctors and financial and
management professionals from countries such as India that
occurred in the second half of the
twentieth century. These
professionals were seeking
better opportunities for
themselves in the developed
world at a time when those
opportunities were not
available in India and similarly
less developed countries. Things have
now changed so that brain drain has become a term of the past.
People can live anywhere and telecommute to work elsewhere in
the world without having to physically move and can enjoy job
satisfaction that they seek and live in a country of their choosing.
Young Indian professionals have plenty of opportunities right here
in India to work for global companies, several of whom are Indian
owned. This trend is very good for India.
To directly answer your question, I don’t foresee any “large-scale”
movement of people from developed countries back to India in the
near future. There will of course be a few that are motivated by
opportunities to give back and will return to India; these
surely fall within the category of reverse brain drain. I expect the
number of such cases to be rather small. Then there are those
whose roots in the USA and other developed countries are not as
deep because of their short tenure there who might want to
return if good opportunities are available to them in India. The
latter, in my opinion, does not fall in the category of reverse brain
drain but is certainly an encouraging trend for India and must be
exploited. There may also be opportunities for India to attract talent
from lesser developed countries and also attract people on
short-term visiting assignments from the developed countries. Both
these opportunities should be developed further to India’s
advantage.
What changes are you going to bring in the existing education
system at Galgotias?
I intend to spend the first few weeks to meet people and
understand and assess the strengths of GU and synthesize a
collective vision and specific goals that support the vision. We will
then develop a strategic plan to pursue those goals. Our ultimate
objective is to identify the best curriculum and pedagogical
approaches for the students in all fields and create learning
opportunities through research, internships and projects that
address societal problems.
What are your expectations from students and your
colleagues at Galgotias University?
The expectations from the faculty and students will be same as I
expect from myself. I would like total commitment to quality and
continuous improvement in performing our duties and being true to
our promises. We are embarking on a road to build a world-class
university and it can only happen if every member of the GU family
contributes his/her ideas to achieve a common vision and vigorously
pursues them. If someone is assigned certain responsibility and they
have agreed to take it on, I then expect them to follow through and
deliver results. I expect that we will have plenty of teething pains but
the good news is that we will be creating unique and innovative
solutions that will be futuristic and free from the shackles of archaic
rules that often bog down established institutions.
Many foreign universities are setting up their centers in India or
arranging a tie-up with existing institutions. Do you think this
will improve education scenario in India?
Yes there is potential for big improvements with international
collaborations but only when
programs are planned carefully by
both sides and are designed to
address specific needs. Simply
emulating someone else’s program
or a “me-too” approach is not the
right mentality. Deep commitments
are also needed to make
programs successful and that comes about only when both sides
benefit equally from the collaboration leading to a win-win
situation that is sustainable.
Given the fact that Indian students lack in soft-skills and there is
less practical exposure. How are you going to address this issue
at Galgotias University?
I am glad that lack of soft-skills and practical exposure is already
recognized as a problem and GU is already trying to address it. Let
me first take on the issue of soft-skills. The first step is to make
students aware that soft-skills are essential for success in careers and
have them recognize the importance of soft-skills in getting ahead.
Soft-skills are acquired over time and cannot be addressed in a single
course or a topic. The entire curriculum must be examined to identify
opportunities for introducing content that specifically targets the
development of soft-skills. For example, requiring more
assignments/projects where the students are challenged to think
independently and communicate their ideas and thought processes in
oral and written reports while working in teams is a very effective
way of addressing soft-skills. Encouraging active learning in class
rooms through discussion is another way of reinforcing the value of
communications skills. It is equally important for students to receive
timely and critical feedback from their instructors and professors
and their own class-mates on their performance in a very supportive
environment. Other soft-skills such as becoming adept at social
conversations, dining and dress etiquettes, interview skills,
sensitivity and tolerance of others who come from different social/
cultural/religious backgrounds etc. can be addressed with non-credit
programs such as a Professional Development Institute and social
clubs. I am glad to see that GU is already emerging as a leader in
promoting social clubs and I will continue to encourage the clubs that
add to the educational value of the students.
Our ultimate objective is to identify the best curriculum
and pedagogical approaches for the students in all fields
and create learning opportunities through research,
internships and projects that address societal problems.

Your message to the students.
Your accomplishments as students of this very new university are
critical to the university’s future because the reputation of a
university is often judged by the accomplishments of its alumni.
The administration and the faculty look forward to working with
you so you can make the most out of these formative years of your
career that could last well over 50 years. Doing well in classes is
obviously important but also make sure that you make the most out
of the university experience. I hope that throughout your life you
will cherish the personal relationships and bonds that you will form
during your time here and that those will turn into unconditional
loyalty and pride that you feel for your alma-matter, the Galgotias
University (GU). I look forward to working with you to make the
academic and social environment in this university the best. I will
make it a point to communicate with you from time to time through
personal appearances in the class rooms and by actively
participating in the activities of your clubs and social programs. I
expect students to have strong student input/voice in the govern-
ance of GU.
I admire the 2nd issue of The G-post as there was remarkably good articles worth appreciation. 'Life under flyover' was an article which I
really enjoyed reading because it is very close to reality. I would appreciate if the number of pages of the newsletter is
increased. ASHMEET ARORA , CSE-02
I was not completely satisfied with The G-post 2nd issue because it did not contain sufficient content about G-QUASAR, which was a big
event in the university calendar. Moreover, it would be better if winners of various events were acknowledged. NEHA TEKWANI, ECE-04
I wish The G-post 2nd issue had more reading stuff than the editorial column, though it enhanced the writing skills and hidden talent of the
Galgotians. ABHISHIKHA PANDEY, ECE-04
The G-POST 2nd issue gave a chance to the students to explore/unhide their talents.
 It has given recognition to some and inspiration to others.
 Aspirants come to know about the achievements of our university.
 Reveal the efforts made by our professors in making The G-Post a success. DEEPTI HEMDEV, CSE-02
I think The G-POST 2nd issue was very interesting and was a brief description of the life at Galgotias University. ANISHA JAISWAL, CSE-02
The new issue of The G-POST was really nice in creativity and design too...It contains some thoughts which are really interesting and
inspiring. In short it gives us a proud feeling to be GALGOTIANS.... NIVI AGRAWAL, CSE-03
More innovative and creative themes should be selected for The G-POST. It should include some columns for activities rather than articles.
HARSHITA SACHDEV, CSE-03
"KNOW YOUR TEACHERS" is the section which helps the students in coming closer to their teachers. MONICA KANDPAL, CSE-04
Only one article per person should be published. SOUMYA , CSE-02
The photo gallery was the most attractive part of The G-POST 2nd issue. MANMEET SINGH , CSE-04
INSPIRING AND INNOVATIVE… AKANKSHA YADAV , CSE-04
The G-POST should be used as a medium to make students aware of the upcoming activities in the university so that the interested
students can register. SHASHANK PANDEY,CIVIL
We value your feedback
We are always interested in your views about your experience of reading The G-Post. Your comments and
suggestions on various articles will help us provide you the best reading experience. We welcome your
feedback and expect you to write at

8YEAR 1 | ISSUE 3 | JULY, 2012
On Friday, 11th May when Galgotias University Clubs went on to do
something that no other student club in almost any university has
done so far. Galgotias University Clubs launched a club of its own
kind , ‘The DIVINE Club’ under its cultural society. Divine Club is a
special club which focuses on spreading peace and spirituality
across the student community.
On 11th May, Galgotias University welcomed the famous spiritual
leader and healer Ms. Praketa Luthra in its new campus. The divine
club workshop had many students from all the branches and
programmes of university.
Ms. Praketa Luthra lectured the present students about peace of
mind and peace in life. She spread the message of divine peace by
giving reference to Hindu mythology and quoting texts from ‘The
Bhagwad Geeta’ ओम गणेशाय नमः (Om Ganeshay Namah) and ओम
नमो भगवते वासुदेवाये (Om namoh bhagvate vasudevay) were the
two divine hymns given by her to the students.
The workshop was really liked by the students as it helped them to
break from the daily routine and de-stress themselves. The students
look forward to more of such divine series to enhance their spiritual
growth.

The Journey So Far...
It has been a magnificent and glorious year since Galgotias
University started its journey with a bountiful stride. Back then
Galgotias University was frozen in a swath of dreams, hope and
excitement. As we have completed one year, we see our hope, our
dream, and our excitement streaming into what we see before us.
We have not certainly worked for, but we have learnt and seen a
lot- surprising, calming, tantalizing, dismaying and ultimately
cherishing as well.
What has been conspicuous throughout the journey is that we have
grown into a university that has powered though many of the
hurdles, obstacles and achievements in fields as diverse as
academics, sports, organization of events to even recreational
activities. Whether it’s about student performance in academics, or
about technical fest or about our brilliant faculty team that has been
a part of Galgotias University; anything that be-speckles Galgotias
University has propelled us into new heights. But nothing compels
us to be complacent; we have to travel a long distance yet. With
riveted attention, we look forward to latching on to what growth
means for an academic set-up like ours. It befits us to very much
beef up our strength in areas we are good at, to root out by means of
a gradual process, what we left out as a back log. With this we will
zing forward, our heart will not zonk out and our spirit will levitate
higher and higher to see the limits of possibility Galgotias University
can have.
In a nutshell, during the Fall semester of 2011-2012 session
Galgotias University has experienced various activities. The most
remarkable one was the first orientation programme. An extra
feather was added onto the cap of the Galgotias Educational
Institutions when the orientation programme of the 2011 batch of
Galgotias University was held on 18th August 2011 at the Expo Mart,
Greater Noida. The day was eventful with the aspiring engineers.
Among the audience were also their parents who were visualizing
their wards’ dreams and the little siblings of these budding
engineers who were probably thinking about their own turn to
come. The list of the distinguished guests was pretty impressive and
they were Mr. M.S. Bitta, Chairman All India Anti-Terrorist Front,
Mr. Navjyot Singh Sidhu, Former Cricketer and politician, Mr. Rajiv
Sahdev, Vice Presiedent-HR, Moser Baer India and Mr. Vikas Ahuja,
Head Infosys Department Centre, Chandigarh. The orientation
programme was a successful one with the welcome note of Mr.
Suneel Galgotia, Chancellor, Galgotias Educational Institutions and
the thanks giving note of,
Dr. D.K. Jha, Dean, Galgotias
University.
The journey which began
with arrival of the new
students in the campus is
still continuing gracefully.
To welcome the freshers,
the existing students
arranged the grand
Fresher’s Party, ‘Euphoria’
on 11th September, 2011. It
was a beautiful evening
filled with a lot of fun and
happiness.
Everyone in the campus
was in a high-spirit and
celebration-mood. It all
started with the presence of Mr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO, Galgotias Edu-

10YEAR 1 | ISSUE 3 | JULY, 2012
Throughout the Fall semester of 2011-12 session Galgotias
University has arranged many distinguished lectures by many
notable academicians, researchers
and corporate professionals for the
benefit of the students. Prof. (Dr.)
D.P. Kothari’s lecture on energy and
environmental problems was one of
them. In this lecture Prof. Kothari
discussed many informative stuff
related to energy and
environmental problems that the third world is facing. He also
talked about its possible solutions. The students liked the lecture a
lot since this is one of the contemporary burning issues that
everybody must be aware of.
We entered the New Year with the First Semester End Examination
still continuing. As the exams got over and the teaching staff got busy
with the evaluation and re-evaluation of answer sheets, the
University came up with the CEL workshop for the faculty members.
In this modern world where stress level of people is high, distances
are long and will is short, where negativity easily conquers the
feeble positives in our lives, we were introduced to the Centre for
Evolutionary Learning’s program to help us bounce back to the state
where we are the masters of our life, our disposition. The seven day
long workshop taught us ways to flush out the negativity collected
over years and allow the Mother Energy to bring in the soft
positivity, thus connecting us back to the roots with the earth. The
workshop proved to be a success as most of us, suffering from the
metropolitan high stress lifestyle, were unable to come to a harmony
with ourselves and the world around us. However the timely and
soothing guidance of Mr. Nishchal Kapoor and Mrs. Rai gave us an
insight into the ways through which we can control our mental
balance when dealing with such situations.
In January, in an effort to expand our horizon, we participated in
EDEX- An International Education Exhibition. Galgotias University
was represented by the Dean, Prof.(Dr.) D.K Jha, and Ms. Anita
Charles, Head- International Relations, where a host of universities,
both national and international, participated to woo the student
section of Sri Lanka. The exhibition was attended by about 90,000
Sri Lankan students and parents who came to collect information
about all the good options of institutes/universities that existed for
their wards to move towards their bright future. In this regard,
before leaving Sri Lanka, Dr. Jha also had a brief meeting with the
Dean, Faculty of Sciences Prof. (Dr.) T. R. Ariyaratne, Dean of Faculty
of Sciences, University of Colombo, where the two discussed areas of
mutual cooperation in future.
The Vice Chancellor welcomed the newly admitted scholars of the
Ph.D program to its Orientation on 13th February 2012. Galgotias
University has launched its Ph. D programmes in streams like
Engineering, Basic and Applied Sciences, Library Science,
Humanities and Management. The scholars were provided with
some useful reference information about their program. Dr. Jha also
addressed the students and explained the nitty-gritty of the program
encouraging them to carry out quality research work along with
gaining ample exposure through
presentation and publication of research
papers in reputed conferences and
journals. The program provided research
scholars with information to help them
settle smoothly and timely in their
research programs.
2012 is a year of new beginnings for the
Galgotias University. Holding on to its vision of providing a high
quality, research driven, globally oriented educational experience,
the University invited Prof. (Dr.) Marks W. Exler from the Kufstein
University of Applied Sciences, Austria, to deliver a short course on
‘Mergers and Acquisitions’ to the students of MBA. The course lasted
from 12th -18th February, 2012. The students of the Galgotias
University got a chance to meet and interact with fellow students
from Wurzburg University, Germany on 24th February 2012 when a
group of 24 German students visited our campus on invitation. The
German students were extended a warm traditional welcome by our
GU students putting them in an awe of the warmth of the Indian way
of life. The visit gave the opportunity to the students of both the
universities to discuss in detail the social, cultural and educational
systems in India and Germany. With new friends found and contacts
established, the GU students moved a step up in beginning to
establish friendly network round the globe.

WIPRO Technologies was here in
the Galgotias campus one to
organize a 5- day workshop on
Faculty Empowerment from 21st
to 25th of February, 2012. The
workshop titled, Mission 10X-
Faculty Empowerment workshop,
is a faculty community portal
exclusively built for Engineering faculty that exclusively provides
many learning materials and innovative techniques. The participat-
ing faculty included not just faculty from Galgotias University but
also from other institutes. The objective of the workshop was to
supplement faculty members’ existing facilitation skills and along
the way nurture students’ level of understanding of the subject
being taught while developing key technical and behavioural skills.
The participants were made aware of some innovative teaching
methodologies and teaching aids. The faculty members were given
tips on helping students develop key employability skills.
March 2nd to 4th were reserved for the Annual Fest of the Galgotias
Group of Institutions. Named G-Quasar, ‘Quasar’ meaning the most
radiant source of energy in the universe, the event was a pompous
affair with events and competitions. The three day fest had a show
stopper event at night for all the volunteers to unwind and the
guests to enjoy! It saw big names as Dr. Kumar Vishwas, Mika, RDB
and Honey Singh were all to be found under one roof during
G-Quasar. The fest attracted more than 20,000 students from
various colleges and universities the whole campus was in full zoom.
The students of various streams got together to put up this great
show under the aegis of Student Affair Department.
Our wish to make Galgotias University a truly international
University saw us moving a step further in the direction when our
VC Prof. K.N Tripathi signed a Memorandum of Understanding with
the Northern Illinois University, USA. On 6th March, Galgotias
University achieved its first foreign collaboration to promote closer
cooperation and bring exciting programmes and scholastic activities
to its students. Apart from this delegations from the University of
Toronto, Canada and the University of North America also visited
the campus. Discussions are underway in making collaborations
with these Universities and we are sure that in the coming months
our students will get a truly international environment of study.
The noon of March 27th, 2012
was packed with action as the
Galgotias Educational
Institutions held the launching of
the book, ‘Anna,13 Days that
Awakened India’. The author of
the book, Mr. Ashutosh Kumar
was present there and he delivered a short talk on the context and
reason behind the writing of the book. An over-excited segment of
students waited with baited breath to ask the author certain
questions which had been doing rounds in their minds since the
time they had read the book. The author was so glad to meet such
enthusiastic audience and answer their queries. The jam-packed hall
at the GCET campus was also indicative of the star value added with
the meet. The event also had the renowned poet Dr. Kumar Vishwas
who obliged the audience with his famous poems and also shared
his experiences with Anna, when he got the opportunity to meet him
and spend some time with him. The meet was interactive and the
audience returned home with a renewed zest and respect for the
Anna movement.
The month of February, saw launching of various clubs of Galgotias
under Cultural, Management, Technical, Literacy, Sports Categories.
The students showed immense enthusiasm to start various
clubs .GU has established more than 20 clubs like Dance Club-Studio
-D, Technical Club Q.bit, Galgotias Soccer League etc. Various
competitions, workshops and events were organised throughout the
session by club heads under the guidance & supervision of
Ms. Vinnie Mathur-Head, Student Affairs & Clubs.
On 4th May, 2012 CEL’s Mr. Nishchal Kapoor had a brief session with
students regarding the problems they were facing as a result of tight
study schedules and the dilemma that students of this age face with
several issues around them, unable to come out with a concrete
solution. The workshop aimed at initiating interaction with the
students and helping them to cope up with the pressures and
expectations of professional and personal lives. In order to be a
responsible youth, youngsters need to strike a balance and have
peace within. This is possible once they are able to analyze their
strengths and weaknesses. Mr. Kapoor emphasized that we would
need to work more on our ‘internal personality’ than on the ‘external
personality’. The students responded well.
After an initial period of hesitated silence, the students opened up
with the issues that trouble them and received able guidance from
Mr. Kapoor on how to conduct or go about the complex situations in
their lives. The 90 minutes session ended on a hope that the lessons
learnt here in this workshop will be incorporated in their lives by
the students and the feedbacks of their experiences will be given in
the next workshop. With this we would like to thank all those who
have made Galgotias University a place that we would like to
nurture… a place that we would love to grow with… a place that we
would cherish and finally a place we would devote and dedicate
ourselves to be a part of. All of us will have to strive hard to beat
into the realm of glory and valor that Galgotias University has yet to
bring off with our confidence smoothed down for us to appreciate,
feel and to work out. It is not just a matter of temporary effort to a
goal that we just bother about; rather it is a matter of sparkling yet
submerged rejoice which is a combination of hopes, goals, plans,
ambition, desires and chiseled intellectuality at Galgotias University.
Such a day is not, we believe, very far off. As we stretch out our
vision far into the future, we see Galgotias University shining with
glory and success.

On behalf of the entire team of The G-Post, I welcome you to
Galgotias University.
Tell us something about yourself?
I am currently a Professor at Purdue University Calumet, USA.
Before joining Purdue University in 1987, I have worked as a
Design Engineer, Quality Control Engineer, and Software
Developer
I have authored/coauthored textbooks on several major CAD/
CAE/Animation software packages like ANYSYS, SolidWorks, CAT-
IA, Pro/Engineer, NX, AutoCAD, Customizing AutoCAD, AutoCAD
LT, Solid Edge, 3ds Max, 3ds Max Design, Autodesk Inventor,
Mechanical Desktop, and VIZ. In addition to North America, my
textbooks have been translated and published in Russia, Japan,
India, South Korea, and Serbia. I was able to obtain over $24
Million software grant from ANSYS, IBM, and Siemens. I have also
developed a web site that provides free teaching and learning
resources to faculty and students. Since 1992, over half a million
users have visited this web site and are using the resources on a
regular basis.
I am also the founder and president of CADCIM Technologies, USA
and CADSoft Technologies, India. These companies was
established in 1992 and are involved with publishing, engineering
consulting, software development, and training.
In 2003, I was awarded a US patent for one of my inventions “Self
Adjusting Cargo Organizer for Vehicles”. I am currently working
on the design and fabrication of two new wind turbines that will
significantly increase their power output and can be used to
charge the batteries of an automobile. Purdue University has filed
a provisional patent application for one of them “Wind Turbine
for Automobiles”.
I am actively involved in consulting and have served as a
consultant to over fifty companies in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio,
Illinois, and Canada. In 1988-90, I developed a software
package "SMLayout" that has been registered by Autodesk Inc. as
a Third Party Software Product. This software package is
currently being used by various companies in Canada and United
States.
Regarding the educational philosophy, I believe that the
educational institutions are the most important organizations in
any civilized society and the teachers play the most
important role in this venture. To enable the teachers to
perform their job, we have to make sure that the faculty
members are provided the latest tools and facilities that they need
in teaching, research, and other related activities. I also believe
that we should have a national incubator program that will
nurture and train the aspiring university faculty to meet the
challenges of teaching, research, and service. Also, the universities
should be the major learning and research centers where value
education is an important part of the curriculum. Each student is
unique and the teacher’s role is to guide the students to achieve
their educational and career goals. Besides academics, it is very
important that the faculty members involve their students in
research, product design and development, service,
extracurricular and team building activities. I enjoy the nature
and farming related activities. My hobbies include yoga, walking,
running, camping, and hiking.
What has motivated you to join Galgotias University?
I know Suneel Galgotia for a long time, about 20 years. He has a
strong desire and a dream to make GU one of the best
universities in the world. I want to work with Suneel, Dhruv, and
the GU faculty and administration to make it happen and make a
defining contribution in making GU a world class
university.
What is the status of technical and management education in
the USA?
In general, the quality of education in USA has gone down,
especially in engineering and science fields. However, various
measures are underway that will make American educational
institutions more competitive.
What are your future plans?
For a long time, since 2001, I have been thinking about starting an
Engineering and Management college based on the ancient
philosophy of Indian education. An education system that
emphasizes the overall development of a student, in terms of
body, mind, and spirit. This time tested Indian educational
philosophy is extremely important to develop the overall
personality of a student. I want to work with a university/college
that has similar believes.
Interview of Prof. Sham Tickoo, Pro Vice Chancellor Galgotias University
Go confidently in the
direction of your dreams
Every student must have a dream or dreams. A student without dreams is like a bird
without wings. The dreams act like a catalytic agent to drive the desire to achieve
something in life, says Prof. Sham Tickoo in an interview with The G-Post , who
has recently taken over as the Pro Vice Chancellor of the Galgotias University.
14YEAR 1 | ISSUE 3 | JULY, 2012
What changes are you going to bring in the existing
education system at Galgotias?
1--I believe an educational institution should run like a
business, not like a typical educational institution. If our
graduates can start a business, I don’t see any reason why we
cannot do it with 300-400 highly educated and experienced
faculty members and administrators. In addition to education,
we need to get involved in other activities like consulting,
product design and development, software, and IT
services. The revenues generated through these activities can
be used to reduce the student tuition fee and provide reasona-
ble compensation to faculty; about 30-80 lacs/year based on
the work and contributions made. The work hours might in-
crease to 60-70 hours a week, which is typical in high paying
industry jobs.
2--Establish Chancellor’s Advisory committee to discuss the
university related issues. The members of this committee will
be the senior officials from universities, industries, government
offices, and banks.
3-- Encourage and provide incentives to faculty members that
get involved in consulting and research. This way we can bring
the latest and real-world knowledge and experience to the
classroom.
4-- Some research funding should be made available to new
faculty members. However, the senior faculty members,
associate and full professors, should be able to fund their
research activities through research grants.
5-- Introduce an incubator program for the faculty members.
The purpose of this program is to introduce the faculty to
different teaching methods and methodologies and then let
them use the one that best fits their teaching style.
6-- Every faculty member should select two institutions, one
national and one international, and compare their course
syllabus with these institutions. The selected institutions should
be one of the best in that field.
7-- The senior most and the experienced faculty should teach
the beginning classes. This is important for the reason because
new students need more help to understand the subject matter
and the concepts.
8-- Most of the papers published these days are below average.
We need to encourage our faculty to publish more meaningful
papers that have a purpose with measurable results.
9-- The lecture material that is developed by the faculty
members should be posted on the university server that can be
downloaded for a nominal fee. The revenues generated can be
shared with the faculty.
10-- The faculty members should be encouraged to publish
books in the field of their expertise. These books will be used at
GU and can be published in various countries as e-Books or in
printed format.
11-- We should improve our admission standards to attract the
best students. At the same time we need to take care of the stu-
dents that do not, for whatever reason, get access to higher edu-
cation. We need to establish a parallel education set up,
something like a vocational institution or six year degree
programs, that will take care of the less fortunate section of
our society. Note that India has a huge untapped talent that
stands ignored. It is our social responsibility to give them an
opportunity to excel in the field of their interest.
12--If needed, we can seek collaboration with institutions like
ITT Technical Institute of USA to establish a Vocational
Education program in India.
13- According to some studies, like the one by McKinsey Global
Institute, 256 million existing workers need to be retrained to
update their skills. We can address it by opening state-of -the-
art vocational training centers in India that are affiliated to GU.
14-- Start the following research centers/programs:
Entrepreneurships Program
Product Design and Development Center
Water Management Center
Solar, Wind, Geothermal, and Water Research Center
Nanotechnology Research Center
Other centers that utilize the expertise of the faculty
members
15--Streamline the GU operations by delegating the responsibilities
and authorities so that everything runs smoothly and timely
manner.
16--Start new programs like Mechatronics, Bio-Medical, Chemical,
and Aeronautical engineering.
17-- Ban cell phone use and texting in the classrooms, meetings,
and other important events.
18-- Introduce values education. This will help the students
become socially responsible citizens.
19--Establish industry advisory committee for all departments that
will meet twice a year to discuss curriculum related issues.
20--Establish university curriculum committee that will approve all
documents related to curriculum issues.
21-- Establish Faculty Governance Committee that will take care of
all faculty related issues.
22--Install several university servers connected to leased high
speed internet lines.
23--Use social media to promote the university programs and
activities.
24-- Install computerized university enrollment, student
registration and grades, and the financial and management
systems.
25-- Every faculty member must teach at least two course in the
field of his/her expertise.
26-- Faculty members should get the students involved in their
research projects. Also, when possible, involve the students in
publishing papers and related material.
27-- Faculty should get involved in organizing national and
international conferences at GU.
28-- Encourage faculty exchange with various universities in
developed countries like USA, UK and other countries.
29-- Start articulation programs with some selected universities in
USA, UK, and Australia and invest in these programs to make them
successful.
15
30-- Increase international admissions by opening admission/
counseling centers in various overseas countries.
31-- Establish a central computer lab and library that are open
round the clock (7/24) where the GU students can study, do home
work, and use the computers for whatever work they need to do.
32-- Provide free internet in the selected labs and wireless
accessibility throughout the campus.
33-- Make arrangements to provide secure and safe working
environment throughout the campus.
34-- Work towards ABET accreditation.
35-- Provide flexibility in course development, within certain
guidelines to be set by the departments. Also, some examination
papers should be set and graded by faculty members of institutions
like IIT.
36-- Invite outside faculty members/expert to evaluate the faculty
members that are up for promotion.
37-- Encourage the industry experts to teach some classes at GU.
This will bring the real-world experiences to students.
38-- Avoid the tenured appointments because it gets misused by
some faculty members.
39-- Develop guidelines for faculty promotions.
40-- Open GU campuses in India and overseas to address the
regional educational needs.
41--Team work and leadership skills are very important and
therefore we should incorporate these activities in our courses.
42--Establish a culture that encourages team work, research,
involvement in student activities, values education, and excellence
in education.
43-- Send the deans and department heads/selected faculty
members to various countries to study their education systems
and incorporate the good elements in GU work and study culture.
44--The mission/vision statement should be more detailed that
gives a better idea about it.
Do you see reverse brain drain a reality in today’s
economically booming India?
At this stage, it is not a reverse brain drain. Most of the countries
are facing economic crisis and that has reduced employment and
business opportunities. However, jobs are still available for
students who have the skills that are needed in the industry. Those
who don't have these skills are forced to return to their countries.
Therefore, we cannot call it a reverse brain drain. However, effort
are underway that can eventually create a true reverse brain drain
that will attract the top talent from other countries.
What are your expectations from students and your col-
leagues at Galgotias University?
As such, I do not have any expectations from my colleagues or
students at GU. We have a highly educated and talented faculty at
GU and I want to sit with them, learn from each other, and share
the experiences and then jointly decide what will help our faculty
and students at GU.
Many foreign universities are setting up their centers in India
or arranging a tie-up with existing institutions. Do you think
this will improve education scenario in India?
We have to be careful about the universities that are opening
campuses in India. Some are really good and want to establish
quality institutions. However, most of the tie-ups are driven by
profit motives and to make a quick buck. Such institutions are
bound to fail and hurt the education system in India.
Given the fact that Indian students lack in soft-skills and
there is less practical exposure. How are you going to address
this issue at Galgotias University?
1-- We should find the ways to get students involved in research
and consulting projects.
2-- Encourage students to take up summer jobs and give them
credit for the work done.
3-- Faculty members should get the students involved in their
research projects. Also, when possible, involve the students in
publishing papers and related material.
4-- Get students involved in sports and extra-curricular activities.
5-- Encourage students to take part in national and international
competitions.
6-- Introduce work-study programs that will get students in-
volved in labor intensive manual jobs. This will teach them the
dignity of labor and better understanding of what is involved in
manual labor.
7-- Use the senior and graduate students to offer tutorial sessions
for needy students. Also, such students can be work with the
faculty to grade the assignments. The students should be paid for
these activities.
8-- Introduce a capstone course that requires every student to do
a project, individual or a team project.
9-- Hire qualified students to do part time work in the university.
10--Add more lab related content in our courses and provide
more lab time and labs at GU.
11-- Have graduate students teach and help students when they
are doing the lab related work.
Your message to the students.
Every student must have a dream or dreams. A student without
dreams is like a bird without wings. The dreams act like a
catalytic agent to drive the desire to achieve something in life.
Initially the dreams might be blurry and sometimes almost
impossible to achieve; that is OK and natural. Keep on working
on them, refine and redefine them, and one day they will become
distinct and achievable.
Also, the values education plays an important role in our lives;
it helps us to become a socially responsible citizen. It teaches us
how to be a good human being, good friend, good parent , and a
good employee or employer. I would like to add few more thing
to the list; love yourself, love the world around you, and make
today more beautiful and meaningful than yesterday. Also,
challenge yourself, incrementally, but surely. If you adopt these
simple things in your lives, a day will come when you will be
surrounded by joy, and happiness will radiate from your face
and personality. Also, do not be scared of hard work or
hardships. Face them and fight them out; it will make you wiser
and smarter. Here are few lines from the famous poet, Iqbal
"AKAL AATI HAI BASHAR KO, THOKREIN KHANE KE BAD
RANG LATEE HAI HEENA, PATHAR PAR GIS JANEI KEI BAD"
Good luck and wishing you all the best.

11th May (Q.Inc). Many clubs have been formed at Galgotias
University in the past few months which include a consortium of
best talent in our campus.11th May witnessed the inauguration of
Galgotias Quizzing Club “Q.Inc” under The Literary Society of
Galgotias University Clubs. The club got a great response from
students of all branches and programmes. On the inauguration day,
Nitish K. Sharma along with Saumya Mishra revealed the proposed
events for this club which would keep the students busy for the
entire year.
Q.Inc on its inauguration organized its first quiz for the batches of
Department of Computer Science and Engineering of School of
Engineering and Technology. Each batch was represented by a team
of 3 students. The teams had to compete against each other in 3
rounds consisting of two general knowledge rounds and one rapid
fire round on Sports. According to the rules one team had to be
eliminated after each round.
After the first round, competition grew tougher and the scores were
neck to neck throughout the second round. At the end of
second round CSE-5 was bid farewell.
CSE-4 with team members Akshita Raghuvanshi, Deepali Jain
and Ankit Prakash Gupta, rose above all and became the first ever
winner of Q.Inc. After winning this competition CSE-4 also
qualified for the final round which would take place at inter branch
level.
The event was made all the more enthusiastic and competitive by
the presence of two very known professors Dr. A.K. Jain (HOD,
Department of Chemistry and Dean, School of Basic and Applied
Sciences) and Dr. G.K. Singh (Dean, Student Welfare). Guest of
honour were Dr. Deependra Kumar Jha, Ms. Dolly Chohan &
Ms. Vinnie Mathur. They praised the efforts of students and the level
of questions made by coordinators Arpit Arora, Archit Sahu and
Anmol Agarwal. The event was very well carried forward by two
anchors from Lingo Freaks Mukkul Jayhne and Vindhya Singh.
It was definitely a competition that pumped up the energy level of
all students who participated . This event was a great initiation by
the club that could make Galgotians proud of . We look forward to
some ultimate quizzing action in the coming months from Q.Inc.

African students to come to Galgotias University
for Higher Studies.
Indian education is highly valued and sought after in Africa. Galgotias Uni-
versity was represented by the International Office at education fairs held
in five African countries (Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Congo) to promote GU as a center of excellence for higher
studies. The result is that the new session beginning in August 2012 will see new faces from the African continent arrive, to
make GU their home for a few years. This will be the first batch of foreign students to be admitted to Galgotias and the
International Office of GU is gearing up to make their transition to our University as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
Besides that, we also expect students from Nepal, Bangladesh, Japan and Korea to be part of Galgotias University.
For most of these students it will be the first time they leave home and travel out of their country. In India and at GU they
will enter a new phase of their life where they will be exposed to a new culture, food, language, living and learning
environment. To give them a positive head start to this new experience, all of us at Galgotias-both students and the faculty-
need to show our spirit of Indian hospitality, friendship and welcome these new students to the Galgotias family.
Those students who would like to help the international students in integrating into the life at Galgotias University may
please contact the International Office –Room 309 and enroll as a STUDY BUDDY to these students. To be a Study Buddy, all
you need is a helpful attitude, kind words and willingness to make new friends. You will be attached to one or two new
students to be their “Buddy ” for the first few weeks and provide any assistance with language or information they might
need about restaurants, markets, malls, entertainment, how to use transportation, bank/money changers, etc. You will have
to meet your Study Buddy upon arrival, help your Study Buddy in their first walk around the campus and assist them in
settling down in their new environment. You are also welcome to take a leadership role in organizing activities and events
for the group. Every kind and helpful act will help you form great bonds of friendship with these students from a foreign
country. It will also help you learn about people from other cultures and increase your understanding of their country, their
values, beliefs etc. This knowledge is something that no textbook can give you, and will additionally help you greatly when
you work or travel abroad later. These International students will also benefit greatly from your guidance and friendship. In
return, you will develop intercultural skills and friendships that could last a lifetime.

Dr. Deependra Kumar Jha
Dean, School of Engineering & Technology
CEL “Centre for Evolutionary Learning” a non-profit global research network organized a
workshop on “Personality Development” for students of B.Tech I year at Galgotias University
on 4 May, 2012. The programme started with the Dean, Dr. D. K. Jha welcoming the key
speaker Mr.Nischal Kapoor, IBM’s Worldwide Insurance Industry Leader. The workshop
aimed at interacting with the students and helping them to cope up with the pressures and
expectations of professional and personal lives. In order to be a responsible youth,
youngsters need to strike a balance and have peace within. This is possible once they are able
to analyse their strengths and weaknesses. Mr. Kapoor emphasized that we need to work
more on our ‘internal personality’ than on the ‘external personality’.
Initially the students felt hesitant but gradually they came out of their cocoon and shared
with the speaker that they lack in self-confidence, their memory fails them in critical
situations, they are impatient, irritable and though they strive for hard work, they lack the
will power to be successful. The speaker explained to the students that it is possible to utilize
100% of our abilities, provided they focus more on the development of ‘internal personality’.
He talked about ADHD-Attention Deficit and Hyperactive Disorder and how we need to tackle
these disorders. Centre for Evolutionary Learning believes that the path to Total Personality
Development lies in managing inner harmony and outer balance. Once we are able to achieve
this, the youth can significantly improve in patience, confidence, communication and team
spirit.
The students were fully engrossed in the 90 minute-interactive workshop as Mr. Kapoor
emphasized the role of total personality development through various exercises and not just
by lecturing them. The program aimed at total personality development through
self-awareness, self-confidence, self-control, empathy, motivation and social-competency.
The workshop motivated the students to ponder over what is unique about them and how
they need to be internally driven to be successful. The students were briefed on the
importance of giving and receiving criticism and compliments sportingly.
The session ended with the students thanking the key speaker of CEL for an overview of how
they should now strive to have a better understanding of the inner personality. They
maintained that they would be incorporating the suggestions for enhancement of total
personality given by Mr. Kapoor and would definitely give their feedback in the next work-
shop.

20YEAR 1 | ISSUE 3 | JULY, 2012
On behalf of the entire team of The G-Post, I welcome you to
Galgotias University.
Tell us something about yourself?
I was born in Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu and grew up there until I
was 6 years old. My mode of transportation to school there was
a bullock cart! I have a few fond memories of the short time I
spent there. My father worked for South Eastern Railways and
it was typical for him to get transferred to a different location
every few years. While this caused a lot of inconvenience to our
family at that time, I am very thankful for the many places I had
an opportunity to live in. I spent most of my schooling days in
Vishakapatnam (also known as Waltair) and also received the
B.E degree in Mechanical Engineering from Andhra University.
I embarked on a journey to the USA in 1989 for higher educa-
tion and lived there until my move this year to GU. Most recent-
ly, I served as the Associate Dean of the School of Business at
Oakland University.
What has motivated you to join Galgotias University?
The opportunity to contribute to the shaping of a new Universi-
ty that has the vision to deliver world-class education.
What is the status of technical and management education
in the USA?
At the heart of any great institution is exceptionally talented
and well educated faculty with a commitment to advancing
knowledge as well as a student body that has the intellectual
prowess and the motivation to excel in their endeavors. If you
look at the institutions in the US, you will find that there are
hundreds of institutions that offer this combination. While
there are many factors that contribute to the phenomenal suc-
cess of institutions in the US, in my humble opinion it is primar-
ily driven by its ability to attract the best faculty and student
talent from across the world. Engineering and Management
education in the US continues to be regarded as the best in the
world. While there are challenges to retaining this status, I re-
main very optimistic that the US will continue to be a leader in
higher education.
Do you see reverse brain drain a reality in today’s economi-
cally booming India?
When countries create attractive opportunities and a model
where innovation is encouraged and rewarded, it is bound to
attract talent. And this has been the case with India for the last
few years.
What are your future plans?
I will focus on contributing to GU’s institution building efforts.
What changes are you going to bring in the existing
education system at Galgotias?
Changes in curricula and pedagogical methods are collaborative
exercises and no one individual can or should try to bring about
a change. So, my efforts will be directed toward building a col-
laborative model for continuously assessing our curriculum and
making amendments to them that will serve our students well.
What are your expectations from students and your
colleagues at Galgotias University?
I have already received a very warm welcome. I look forward to
working with colleagues in all areas of the University.
Many foreign universities are setting up their centers in
India or arranging a tie-up with existing institutions. Do
you think this will improve education scenario in India?
Competition from any quarter will motivate existing entities to
improve and challenge them to prove their value to the market.
So, in this context, it is a welcome initiative. However, it is too
early to predict the broader impact this move will have on the
education in India.
Given the fact that Indian students lack in soft-skills and
there is less practical exposure. How are you going to ad-
dress this issue at Galgotias University?
We have already developed a Professional Development
Program and are in the process of looking an implementation
model.
Your message to the students.
The three C’s that I usually talk to students about are --
Commitment to work
Do your work (professional and personal) with a commitment
that goes beyond simply the need to complete your task.
Commitment is deep involvement and is reflected in everything
that you do – the way you interact with others, the way you
help a colleague or the quality of output.
Confidence with humility
Let no one make you believe you are not capable of
accomplishing the goals you have set for yourself. Believe in
yourself. Be confident but have the humility to accept your mis-
takes and recognizing that there is always someone that knows
more than you do.
Care with passion
Care about your community, country and the disadvantaged
people across the world. When given an opportunity to impact
a life, in however small ways, do so with passion.
3 Cs for Holistic Development
Three Cs i.e. Commitment to work, Confidence with Humility and
Care with Passion are essential for the growth of an individual,
Says Prof. Balaji Rajagopalan, Pro Vice Chancellor, Galgotias
University in an interview with The G-Post .

In India the women are being kept on a different pedestal. In Vedic
scriptures it is said that where women are worshipped, there lives
the triad of health, wealth and prosperity. And where women are
tortured and neglected, the family and the whole nation perish. This
is the status a woman has got in our Indian society. Today a lady has
come out of the shackles and the boundaries, and women have also
started flying high in the sky; they have gained such a height that the
world seems to be a small place for them. A daughter, a wife, a
mother and so many other roles to play-- the lady of today has
achieved excellence in almost every field. They now prove
themselves in every sphere of life and perhaps reinforce the saying
that a perfect woman is near to God.
Our Indian society is made on
two strong pillars- one is male
and the other is female. Both of
them play a very significant
role. They both have to be
equally strong to lay a strong
foundation for a better society.
In order to have a strong
society we have to empower
our Indian women in all
spheres of life.
In spite of comprising 50
percent of the population on
the globe, women have not
been given equal status with
men. In fact, a major part of this sentiment can be attributed to gen-
der role socialization that regiments the process of raisings boys
and girls for different roles.
In global recognition of problems of women and efforts of several
persons the UN declared the year 1975-85 as Women’s decade.
Increased awareness, education and efforts of the government
resulted in some change of the attitudes among women and on
women. This changed attitude resulted in redefinition of some of the
roles women play in our society. This is evident in the increased
participation of women in education, employment, polity,
decision-making, health and family planning and also in raising of
voices against social evils like dowry, female foeticide and other
socio-political and economic issues. The recent social changes have
given women an opportunity to enter a different developmental
stage which was once forbidden for them.
Despite all said and done, Indian women are still far behind when
compared to women in the west. This is mainly due to the age-old
traditional norms and restrictions that are imposed on them. Hence
education for women will ultimately help in the overall
development and improvement of women in their social, economic,
health and political status.
Stanely Jaya Kumar in his article “Changing directions in the status
and role of Women in India” critically discusses the changes that
are taking place in the status and role of women in contemporary
Indian society. Because of the role relationships, the traditional
social structure, cultural norms and value systems continue to
place Indian women in a disadvantaged group and seek to put
them in distress and much more in similar circumstances. Our
Indian women are not only becoming strong and upgraded in their
social life but even politically they also are stretching out their
arms in various sectors. Dr S.V Shinde in his research paper
“Women in Indian Politics” (vol. I 2011) has advocated the political
role of Indian women. According to him an important area where
women have been inadequately represented is the political sphere.
Articles 325 and 326 of the Constitution of India guarantee
political equality, equal right to participation in political activities
and the right to vote respectively. In 1990, the United Nation's
Economic and Social Council endorsed a target of 30 per cent
women in decision-making positions in the world by 1995.
Looking at the statistical trend in the first Lok Sabha, we find that
there were only 22 women constituting 4.4 % of the House. It has
increased marginally over the years; the female participation now
shows a fairly good percentage of 51 in the fourteenth Lok Sabha.
Similarly in Rajya Sabha, in 1952 the
percentage of female participation was
merely 6.94% of the membership. Over
the years the percentage of women has
increased to 9.50 % of the House. It is not
just the case that females have shown
their active participation in contesting
elections and securing their positions
politically, but the records even show a
tremendous increase in the percentage of
the female voters. Out of the 543 total
constituencies of the Lok Sabha, the
number of elected women in Lok Sabha
increased from 49 in 1999 to 59 in
2009.Apart from this, the percentage of women voters has also
increased from 55.6 % to 55.8% in the above said period.
However, the recent changing trends in the structure of the society,
advancement of science and technology, women’s education and
participation in workforce have created new awareness for women
to elevate their status. Factors impacting women's economic
empowerment are many. But a few of them include violence
(domestic violence, female foeticide, sexual abuse and others). Apart
from these, even in small areas due to illiteracy people do not send
their daughters to school. They think that the education is the
copyright of boy and the girls are born to do only household work.
These factors hinder the path of success of a girl and subsequently
the whole nation suffers as only one pillar becomes strong and the
other one is neglected. This creates a state of vacuum which needs
to be filled up. The government and many NGOs have started work-
ing in this filed and they are trying to make people aware of the
importance of the girl child. Their efforts have started showing
results.
Nowadays females are becoming socially awakened and have also
started to know their rights and responsibilities. They are proving
themselves in every spheres of life. Whether it is the role of a perfect
homemaker or a proficient leader and entrepreneur in the social
front, women are moving ahead and filling up the vacuum that was
prevailing in the society. The society needs to be changed for the
overall development and the development lies in the upliftment and
upgradation of both pillars of society as has been rightly stated by
Kofi Annan “ when women thrive, all of society benefits, and
generations are given a better start in life”.

Facebook- it is a term with which I think every single individual
aged 12 or more would be familiar with. It has simply revolution-
ized the phase of social networking. And on top of it, a newspaper
has said that “if the social networking website was a country, it
would have been the third largest most populated nation, after
China and India”.
So there was an attempt by Facebook to improve its privacy poli-
cies. Recently a poll on which Facebook policies should be put into
place on the social network was conducted on its site. The poll was
bombastic!! It saw a serious lack of user interest. In the country of
900 million users, only 342,632 voted on which privacy policy
should be adopted. This number accounts to a mere 1 user in every
2,600 users, or just 0.038 percent of the total Facebook user
strength. This was like a shocker for the heads in the business.
Around 297,883 people -- approximately 87 percent of all respond-
ents, chose to keep Facebook’s existing SRR and Data Use Policy.
Reports shown from the employees of the Facebook shed light on
why there was such a low percentage of people voting. The report
gave excuses that users might not have seen the link to vote on
their Facebook pages (which is amusing as we all know most of the
users check each and every notification), as it was placed on the left
side tool bar next to their news feeds column.
Ars Technica said in one of its reports that Facebook’s efforts were
just not catchy for alerting users as compared to those of Google
that placed a link to new privacy policy under the search box on its
home page for users across the world days before the policy came
into effect and its usage on a large scale was started. It is obvious
that websites can lead users to the privacy policy but cannot force
users to read the privacy policy, but in the case of Facebook it
wasn't even leading the users to read it.
Facebook honchos were not pleased with the low turnout followed
by such harsh criticism. "Despite our substantial outreach effort,
the number of people who voted constituted such a small and
unrepresentative percentage of our user community," said Elliot
Schrage, Facebook's Vice President of Communications, Public
Policy and Marketing, in a lengthy posting on the social network
about the results of the vote.
So, this leaves a very big question to be asked.
Do you think Facebook didn't take the required steps to notify
people? Or the low numbers were just an indication of the cold
response from users to Facebook?

The glamorous world of Modelling, offers an exciting, adventurous
as well as a lucrative career to youngsters. A model gets
opportunity to travel to beautiful locations, be pampered, be able to
attend events with celebrities and earn an attractive pay packet. But
to attain glamour and popularity, this profession needs hard work
and sacrifice.
Dedication and
perseverance is
needed to be
successful in this
field. One needs
to be physically,
mentally and
emotionally
strong to succeed
as a good model.
Realizing the
importance of this fact Galgotias
University has created a Fashion Club: ’Scintillations’ and orga-
nized for its auditions .
Galgotias University Fashion Club held their auditions for modelling,
designing, makeup and choreography on 12th May 2012. Many as-
pirants from all courses at Galgotias came up, trying out for a spot
on the ramp. Guys and gals showed their talent and the
deserving ones were selected on the basis of qualities like
Attitude, Walk, Designing (fashion designing), Looks, Personality,
Persistence, Will-Power, Organisation, Responsiveness,
Independence, Stamina, Confidence, Politeness and Courtesy . The
auditions were taken by the head co-ordinators of fashion club
Akriti Sharma and Rashika Mangwani, who aimed to discover
talented students. The search began enthusiastically, every
contestant was eager to show their talent and make an impression.
The auditions witnessed hundreds of contestants, wishing to
showcase their skill at walking the ramp and to have an edge over
other
contestants
to top the
show.
Definitely it
seemed as if
they were
prepared for
the cut throat
competition.
The
auditions
started from 10am and lasted till 3pm. There were certain rules and
principles according to which judgement was being made. Inability
to keep in line with the rules, got many of them rejected irrespective
of their skills. Now we have a vibrant team of the Fashion Club who
would represent Galgotias University in every competition. So to
stand out in a big crowd and to leave your mark is by no means an
easy job. And for this one needs skills and hard work beyond the
imagination of most people. Overall the performances were
appreciable and auditions were conducted smoothly. We here by
congratulate all the participants who got selected and look forward
to participating in Inter college events & festivals.

Tech Mr. Kantinath Bannerjee - MBA It seems like yesterday that we began our journey at Galgotias University – a journey towards excellence. What a fulfilling year it has been for everyone; a year full of exciting learning. The past one year has been remarkable for the university in a number of different ways. You are aware that Block 1, an architectural marvel and a state-of-the- art academic infrastructure, is fully operational now. We have also established a high-tech library and a digital library in this building where the entire library function has been automated. Students can not only study here in peace but also access hundreds of international journals, research papers and e-books. We have built some of the fin- est labs here and are in the process of building more which will have little parallels in this country. We understand that the pillars of an educational institution are its faculty members and we have had some of the best brains from Industry and prominent Institutions joining us in the last one year. Recent joining of renowned academicians at the leadership positions is the testimony of our commitment to developing your inherent skills and ensures your holistic development as the future architects of our nation. As far as industry-academia interaction is concerned, the university has already signed agreement with Infosys, Oracle, Microsoft, Capegemini and ICICI Bank to further provide facilities to our students to nurture their academic goals and industry preparedness.In addition to this, the university has also signed MoU with Purdue University Calumet, USA and Northern Illinois University, USA. The scope of these agreements include short and long-term faculty exchange, undergraduate and graduate student exchange, collabo- rative research and discovery, engagement, learning and teaching. At Galgotias University, we believe that Interdisciplinary learning is a way to build bridges to overcome disciplinary isolation. It is an excellent preparation for the role of a global citizen and a successful professional in a pluralistic, technological, and democratic society. We made enormous, well-coordinated and purposeful efforts for the seamless integration of the chosen major-minor subjects. Students’ societies and clubs organized a wide range of social events and sporting activities during the year. Meanwhile, our mentors also provided in-depth counseling and advice on everything from learning to health and finances throughout the year. I take this opportunity to thank all stake holders at the university especially faculty members, staff and students for making this a wonderful year. It is always exciting to receive students who are full of renewed enthusiasm for learning after a long respite. We look forward to your return along with newly admitted students when school opens on Wednesday, August 1st and not to wonder where the songs of spring have gone, but instead to listen to the music of the Fall semester. Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they? Think not of them, thou hast thy music too, - (John Keats Ode to Autumn) Coming days are bound to bring more excitement as we are all set for providing a whole range of exceptional educational programmes and a real transformation at Galgotias University. Wish you all a happy learning and a pleasant stay at Galgotias.

He delivered a lecture on BALANCE SCORE CARD. InfoTech Enterprises is a global engineering services company specializing in geospatial, engineering design and IT solutions with 8700 plus associates spanning 27 nationalities over 34 locations. At InfoTech he is responsible for leading the Talent Engagement and Talent Development function. He has been instrumental in InfoTech winning various awards for its innovative HR practices from NHRD in June 2011, Asia Pacific HRM Congress in September 2011 and Asia’s Best Employer Brand Awards in July 2011. Since July 2002 he has been President of an NGO called “To the Heart”. This NGO supports the education of 100 under-privileged children in Delhi and is completely run and financed by the employees of InfoTech. The occasion also saw the esteemed presence of Prof. (Dr.) Renu Luthra, Director, GBS and Dr. Sushil Dixit, HOD, School of Business, along with other faculty members. During his lecture at Galgotias University Mr. Sehgal discussed with students the concept of Balance Score Card, the importance of balance score card and how companies are using this concept. He explained the concepts to the students like an academician. Mr. Sehgal interacted with the students throughout his lecture. The students, studying the topic in their course, were limited to the bookish knowledge till they interacted with Mr. Sehgal and came to know the nitty-gritty of the subject in detail and its practical applicability in industry as well. The session ended with a round of question-answers where the remaining doubts of the students were cleared by the Guest Speaker.
  • 3. 3 On the last instructional day of the Winter semester University, Galgotias students had their chance to do a little masti on Aaj Tak. Galgotias University became the centre for the famous college show on Aaj Tak news channel ‘Masti Ki Pathshala’. It all started when the reporter from Aaj Tak managed to enter a class room of Galgotias University having students from many streams. Her questions were informal so were the answers given by the students. Discussion went at length about the campus, its locations, surroundings and a lot about beyond academics. A dance number from an MBA student was performed as a dare thrown to girls from boys. In the second part the shoot started in lobby and many dares were thrown in the arena. An arm wrestling match became hit when students started chanting the names of people in it. A great singing talent was shown by Anurag of MBA when Aaj Tak reporter asked for it. Sports Club was not far behind cultural when it came to show talent. Aaditya, the student head for sports displayed his athletic abilities by doing some mouth whopping stunts. The third part of shoot was shot at the Music room and started with the beats of Ankit Godley’s drums. In the third and final part the reporter entered the Music room. It was Ankit Godley the best drummer on campus who caught her attention. His rhythmic drum beats did get a lot of applause. This way ended one of the most amazing and interactive days in Galgotias students’ campus life. Event Managed by: Saumya Mishra (Literary Head) & Nitish K. Sharma (Cultural Head)
  • 4. 4YEAR 1 | ISSUE 3 | JULY, 2012 It is well known that Physics and Mathematics are the backbone of engineering. One has to have a clear-cut understanding of these subjects while applying them in engineering. However, a blind application of Physics will create a lot of trouble and confusion. This can be illustrated by taking a simple problem of “Flow of current”. As per the definition, the current is the rate of flow of charge. However, if you blindly apply this definition while designing the power line you may land in trouble. Let us assume that you are asked to design a power line of 100km length with a bulb of 10 ohms as a load using Copper cable using a source. Now you proceed to calculate the time taken by the charge to reach the destination. If you take the standard values of the parameters of copper cable of 5mm radius and calculate the time for the electrons to reach the bulb you will get a figure of roughly 445 years. Naturally, you will try to check and recheck the calculations and you will find the same result. Then what happened? In fact it is not the Drift velocity of electrons but it is the Electromagnetic Propagation velocity which travels with the velocity of light. But again, if we use free space value of velocity of light you will have some practical difficulties because the propagation velocity in typical coaxial cable with copper based central conductor is about 66% of the velocity of light. Hence the time will be roughly 505µs. The problem of an engineer does not stop here, who is going to design a nationwide network which is much bigger than 100km with using the wavelength of 6000km (50Hz) and the transmission line parameters like distributed elements which will take more time to charge. In designing a complete power grid, the practical aspects such as losses, effective consumer load, load profiles, failure and reliability analysis and cost optimization are also to be considered. Moreover, no such thing as perfect electronic capacitors, frictionless surfaces, noiseless systems are available. In a nutshell, the real world is quite complicated. So, the heart of any engineering is understanding reality through theorizing and experimentation which is naturally a physicists’ job and finding applications and ingenuity to circumvent implementation problems will be engineers’ job. In order to design the new system apart from the exposure to established engineering truths and best practices coupled with art and technology should be taken into account and for this one has to master such concepts which will take time and patience. A modern era of science and technology with multiple planes of knowledge is required for system development of any kind. For example, to design a computer chip you must know materials like Silicon, layout (lithography), A/D(sigma-delta), real-time operating systems etc. Also don’t forget to introduce art and beauty in designing the system. As an example Eiffel Tower was designed with a lot of structural calculations, mathematical computation and other engineering related parameters. However, the designers saw to it that it should have an aesthetic value also. Second example is I-phone which is very small and compact and has been designed in such a way that apart from looking beautiful it is so much users friendly that the supplier provided only page of operating manual. If there are many designing options, don’t forget the Occam’s razor which says that the simpler of two competing theories mak- ing exactly the same predictions is better. Engineers also sometimes suffer with partial credit mentality and ignoring the team spirit. Tacoma Narows Bridge that collapsed on November 7, 1940 as the leader did not consider the natural frequency at which resonance occurs if same frequency is impressed upon. That’s what happened when wind speed was 60 miles per hour on that fateful day. It was known as the death of civil engineering at that time. Similar thing happened with Hindenburg (1937) disaster. Now finally the engineers should not ignore ethical problems . It is now known that the Challenger Disaster in 1986 was due to failure of a small component O-ring seal which was not tested at a temperature below 4 degree Celsius and the temperature in Florida was -8 degree Celsius and this fact was known to the engineer who designed it. Prof. (Dr.) K. N. Tripathi Advisor to Chancellor, Galgotias University The world does not pay for what a person knows. But it pays for what a person does with what he knows. Laurence Lee
  • 5. 5 On behalf of the entire team of The G-Post, I welcome you to Galgotias University. Tell us something about yourself? First of all, I am honored to be chosen by the Chancellor, Suneel Galgotia, to lead the Galgotias University as its Vice Chancellor. I am looking forward to working with all the faculty, staff and students toward the vision of creating a world-class university known for its student centeredness and for multidisciplinary education and research programs. I also want to take this opportunity to warmly welcome all the new and returning students and wish them a successful academic year. To your question, I graduated from IIT Kanpur with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1970 at a time when opportunities for engineers in India, unlike today, were quite limited. After having lived in United States for almost 40+ years during which I was able to achieve a lot in research and in higher education, I look forward to serving GU in its formative years. I have a blend of private industry and academic background that includes 9 years at the Westinghouse Research and Development Center following my PhD in Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati, 18 years at Georgia Tech as a faculty member and as department head and the last 9 years as the Dean of Engineering and an endowed chair and Distinguished Professor at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. I hope to use this extensive experience in building a team of world-class faculty and administrative staff to benefit GU students. I do not underestimate the enormity of this task but I cannot imagine a better way to spend the next several years of my professional career. In the days and months ahead, I look forward to getting to know the GU community and build a strategic plan to move ahead. What has motivated you to join Galgotias University? Returning to India and giving back to the country that gave me such a great start in life has always been my dream. I was truly blessed with having the most supportive and highly educated parents who did everything so their children would have access to the best education the country could provide at the time. Now, I have an opportunity to give back to benefit thousands of students. I have, in bits and pieces, attempted to give back in small ways for a number of years but this commitment is at a very different level and I am really looking forward to the challenge. I am also very cognizant of the fact that a project of this magnitude can only be executed with considerable help from a team of people that are like-minded and share the goals and are committed to pursue them relentlessly. The higher education scenario in India is buzzing with excitement; there is widely-held belief that it needs changes at the structural level but the good news is that there is sufficient infusion of private and government financial resources to enable the change. Equally important is the well accepted fact that there is abundance of talent available among India’s youth with a desire to succeed in higher education and there is also considerable value placed on higher education by parents. When you combine those factors with the opportunity to lead a brand new university, the motivation to join the GU team is obvious; I consider it the once in life-time opportunity that every academician dreams about! What are your future plans? My plans are to immerse myself in the service of Galgotias University and build the foundation of an institution that will be recognized for excellence in multidisciplinary education and research. In turn, this will serve UP, India and the world by producing future innovators and leaders who will significantly contribute to economic development of their communities. What is the status of technical and management education in the USA? No system is ever perfect and the US education system is no exception! With that said, I believe that the US higher education system is the best in the world when you consider its size and also the diverse population that it serves so effectively. It has for decades, served not only its own citizens, but to a large extent the world. The quality of innovation that goes on amongst its faculty, students and its graduates is truly remarkable. The system does not permit anyone to rest on their laurels but rather incentivizes them to strive for continuous improvement via defined strategic objectives and action plans and it seeks out excellence and openly rewards it. The system is also flexible enough to allow students and faculty to develop their strengths and passion so that they can be creative and are able to distinguish themselves in meaningful ways. This approach allows people to grow professionally while simultaneously enhancing the prestige of their institutions. The higher education system has amazing depth in quality where a student can have a great educational experience in literally a thousand of universities that have carved their own niche in their strengths. Vice Chancellor, Dr. Ashok Saxena Unplugged In the Making of a World-Class University We are embarking on a road to build a world-class university and it can only happen if every member of the GU family contributes their ideas to achieve a common vision and vigorously pursues them, says Prof. Ashok Saxena in an interview with The G-Post , who has recently taken over as the Vice Chancellor of the Galgotias University.
  • 6. 6YEAR 1 | ISSUE 3 | JULY, 2012 The US education system is also being challenged by their stake-holders to deliver quality education at affordable costs. The universities are adjusting to this new reality by trying new approaches to enhance learning while controlling costs. The availability of on-line degree programs and courses pose a serious challenge for the “bricks and mortar” approach to higher education. In spite of some challenges, every US citizen who is inter- ested in furthering his/her education still has access to quality higher education that adds considerable value to their pro- fessional development. Every institution is unique with its own set of published goals that serve the needs of their stake-holders and the faculty and the staff of the institution understand their respective roles and are motivated and empowered to pursue excellence within those parameters. Team-work and synergy created by this style of management is one of the main reasons for the success of the overall system. Do you see reverse brain drain a reality in today’s economically booming India? “Brain drain” is a term that applies to the mass migration of technical professionals such as engineers, doctors and financial and management professionals from countries such as India that occurred in the second half of the twentieth century. These professionals were seeking better opportunities for themselves in the developed world at a time when those opportunities were not available in India and similarly less developed countries. Things have now changed so that brain drain has become a term of the past. People can live anywhere and telecommute to work elsewhere in the world without having to physically move and can enjoy job satisfaction that they seek and live in a country of their choosing. Young Indian professionals have plenty of opportunities right here in India to work for global companies, several of whom are Indian owned. This trend is very good for India. To directly answer your question, I don’t foresee any “large-scale” movement of people from developed countries back to India in the near future. There will of course be a few that are motivated by opportunities to give back and will return to India; these surely fall within the category of reverse brain drain. I expect the number of such cases to be rather small. Then there are those whose roots in the USA and other developed countries are not as deep because of their short tenure there who might want to return if good opportunities are available to them in India. The latter, in my opinion, does not fall in the category of reverse brain drain but is certainly an encouraging trend for India and must be exploited. There may also be opportunities for India to attract talent from lesser developed countries and also attract people on short-term visiting assignments from the developed countries. Both these opportunities should be developed further to India’s advantage. What changes are you going to bring in the existing education system at Galgotias? I intend to spend the first few weeks to meet people and understand and assess the strengths of GU and synthesize a collective vision and specific goals that support the vision. We will then develop a strategic plan to pursue those goals. Our ultimate objective is to identify the best curriculum and pedagogical approaches for the students in all fields and create learning opportunities through research, internships and projects that address societal problems. What are your expectations from students and your colleagues at Galgotias University? The expectations from the faculty and students will be same as I expect from myself. I would like total commitment to quality and continuous improvement in performing our duties and being true to our promises. We are embarking on a road to build a world-class university and it can only happen if every member of the GU family contributes his/her ideas to achieve a common vision and vigorously pursues them. If someone is assigned certain responsibility and they have agreed to take it on, I then expect them to follow through and deliver results. I expect that we will have plenty of teething pains but the good news is that we will be creating unique and innovative solutions that will be futuristic and free from the shackles of archaic rules that often bog down established institutions. Many foreign universities are setting up their centers in India or arranging a tie-up with existing institutions. Do you think this will improve education scenario in India? Yes there is potential for big improvements with international collaborations but only when programs are planned carefully by both sides and are designed to address specific needs. Simply emulating someone else’s program or a “me-too” approach is not the right mentality. Deep commitments are also needed to make programs successful and that comes about only when both sides benefit equally from the collaboration leading to a win-win situation that is sustainable. Given the fact that Indian students lack in soft-skills and there is less practical exposure. How are you going to address this issue at Galgotias University? I am glad that lack of soft-skills and practical exposure is already recognized as a problem and GU is already trying to address it. Let me first take on the issue of soft-skills. The first step is to make students aware that soft-skills are essential for success in careers and have them recognize the importance of soft-skills in getting ahead. Soft-skills are acquired over time and cannot be addressed in a single course or a topic. The entire curriculum must be examined to identify opportunities for introducing content that specifically targets the development of soft-skills. For example, requiring more assignments/projects where the students are challenged to think independently and communicate their ideas and thought processes in oral and written reports while working in teams is a very effective way of addressing soft-skills. Encouraging active learning in class rooms through discussion is another way of reinforcing the value of communications skills. It is equally important for students to receive timely and critical feedback from their instructors and professors and their own class-mates on their performance in a very supportive environment. Other soft-skills such as becoming adept at social conversations, dining and dress etiquettes, interview skills, sensitivity and tolerance of others who come from different social/ cultural/religious backgrounds etc. can be addressed with non-credit programs such as a Professional Development Institute and social clubs. I am glad to see that GU is already emerging as a leader in promoting social clubs and I will continue to encourage the clubs that add to the educational value of the students. Our ultimate objective is to identify the best curriculum and pedagogical approaches for the students in all fields and create learning opportunities through research, internships and projects that address societal problems.
  • 7. 7 Your message to the students. Your accomplishments as students of this very new university are critical to the university’s future because the reputation of a university is often judged by the accomplishments of its alumni. The administration and the faculty look forward to working with you so you can make the most out of these formative years of your career that could last well over 50 years. Doing well in classes is obviously important but also make sure that you make the most out of the university experience. I hope that throughout your life you will cherish the personal relationships and bonds that you will form during your time here and that those will turn into unconditional loyalty and pride that you feel for your alma-matter, the Galgotias University (GU). I look forward to working with you to make the academic and social environment in this university the best. I will make it a point to communicate with you from time to time through personal appearances in the class rooms and by actively participating in the activities of your clubs and social programs. I expect students to have strong student input/voice in the govern- ance of GU. I admire the 2nd issue of The G-post as there was remarkably good articles worth appreciation. 'Life under flyover' was an article which I really enjoyed reading because it is very close to reality. I would appreciate if the number of pages of the newsletter is increased. ASHMEET ARORA , CSE-02 I was not completely satisfied with The G-post 2nd issue because it did not contain sufficient content about G-QUASAR, which was a big event in the university calendar. Moreover, it would be better if winners of various events were acknowledged. NEHA TEKWANI, ECE-04 I wish The G-post 2nd issue had more reading stuff than the editorial column, though it enhanced the writing skills and hidden talent of the Galgotians. ABHISHIKHA PANDEY, ECE-04 The G-POST 2nd issue gave a chance to the students to explore/unhide their talents.  It has given recognition to some and inspiration to others.  Aspirants come to know about the achievements of our university.  Reveal the efforts made by our professors in making The G-Post a success. DEEPTI HEMDEV, CSE-02 I think The G-POST 2nd issue was very interesting and was a brief description of the life at Galgotias University. ANISHA JAISWAL, CSE-02 The new issue of The G-POST was really nice in creativity and design too...It contains some thoughts which are really interesting and inspiring. In short it gives us a proud feeling to be GALGOTIANS.... NIVI AGRAWAL, CSE-03 More innovative and creative themes should be selected for The G-POST. It should include some columns for activities rather than articles. HARSHITA SACHDEV, CSE-03 "KNOW YOUR TEACHERS" is the section which helps the students in coming closer to their teachers. MONICA KANDPAL, CSE-04 Only one article per person should be published. SOUMYA , CSE-02 The photo gallery was the most attractive part of The G-POST 2nd issue. MANMEET SINGH , CSE-04 INSPIRING AND INNOVATIVE… AKANKSHA YADAV , CSE-04 The G-POST should be used as a medium to make students aware of the upcoming activities in the university so that the interested students can register. SHASHANK PANDEY,CIVIL We value your feedback We are always interested in your views about your experience of reading The G-Post. Your comments and suggestions on various articles will help us provide you the best reading experience. We welcome your feedback and expect you to write at newsletter@galgotiasunivrsity.edu.in. We are also pleased to share some of the observations of our readers about 2nd issue of the newsletter.
  • 8. 8YEAR 1 | ISSUE 3 | JULY, 2012 On Friday, 11th May when Galgotias University Clubs went on to do something that no other student club in almost any university has done so far. Galgotias University Clubs launched a club of its own kind , ‘The DIVINE Club’ under its cultural society. Divine Club is a special club which focuses on spreading peace and spirituality across the student community. On 11th May, Galgotias University welcomed the famous spiritual leader and healer Ms. Praketa Luthra in its new campus. The divine club workshop had many students from all the branches and programmes of university. Ms. Praketa Luthra lectured the present students about peace of mind and peace in life. She spread the message of divine peace by giving reference to Hindu mythology and quoting texts from ‘The Bhagwad Geeta’ ओम गणेशाय नमः (Om Ganeshay Namah) and ओम नमो भगवते वासुदेवाये (Om namoh bhagvate vasudevay) were the two divine hymns given by her to the students. The workshop was really liked by the students as it helped them to break from the daily routine and de-stress themselves. The students look forward to more of such divine series to enhance their spiritual growth. Event managed by: The Cultural Society of Galgotias University Clubs Nitish K.

  • 9. 9 The Journey So Far... It has been a magnificent and glorious year since Galgotias University started its journey with a bountiful stride. Back then Galgotias University was frozen in a swath of dreams, hope and excitement. As we have completed one year, we see our hope, our dream, and our excitement streaming into what we see before us. We have not certainly worked for, but we have learnt and seen a lot- surprising, calming, tantalizing, dismaying and ultimately cherishing as well. What has been conspicuous throughout the journey is that we have grown into a university that has powered though many of the hurdles, obstacles and achievements in fields as diverse as academics, sports, organization of events to even recreational activities. Whether it’s about student performance in academics, or about technical fest or about our brilliant faculty team that has been a part of Galgotias University; anything that be-speckles Galgotias University has propelled us into new heights. But nothing compels us to be complacent; we have to travel a long distance yet. With riveted attention, we look forward to latching on to what growth means for an academic set-up like ours. It befits us to very much beef up our strength in areas we are good at, to root out by means of a gradual process, what we left out as a back log. With this we will zing forward, our heart will not zonk out and our spirit will levitate higher and higher to see the limits of possibility Galgotias University can have. In a nutshell, during the Fall semester of 2011-2012 session Galgotias University has experienced various activities. The most remarkable one was the first orientation programme. An extra feather was added onto the cap of the Galgotias Educational Institutions when the orientation programme of the 2011 batch of Galgotias University was held on 18th August 2011 at the Expo Mart, Greater Noida. The day was eventful with the aspiring engineers. Among the audience were also their parents who were visualizing their wards’ dreams and the little siblings of these budding engineers who were probably thinking about their own turn to come. The list of the distinguished guests was pretty impressive and they were Mr. M.S. Bitta, Chairman All India Anti-Terrorist Front, Mr. Navjyot Singh Sidhu, Former Cricketer and politician, Mr. Rajiv Sahdev, Vice Presiedent-HR, Moser Baer India and Mr. Vikas Ahuja, Head Infosys Department Centre, Chandigarh. The orientation programme was a successful one with the welcome note of Mr. Suneel Galgotia, Chancellor, Galgotias Educational Institutions and the thanks giving note of, Dr. D.K. Jha, Dean, Galgotias University. The journey which began with arrival of the new students in the campus is still continuing gracefully. To welcome the freshers, the existing students arranged the grand Fresher’s Party, ‘Euphoria’ on 11th September, 2011. It was a beautiful evening filled with a lot of fun and happiness. Everyone in the campus was in a high-spirit and celebration-mood. It all started with the presence of Mr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO, Galgotias Edu- cational Institutions, Dr. D.K. Jha, Dean, Galgotias University, Dr.Renu Luthra, Director, Galgotias Business School and Dr. Sunderesan, Director, Galgotias College of Engg. & Technology. Dr. Pramod Vohra, Advisor, Galgotias University made his presence felt by giving the statement ‘Party is on’. The new comers enjoyed the first party of the academic year with an open heart and free mind. It marks their transition from aspiring engineers to responsible citizens.
  • 10. 10YEAR 1 | ISSUE 3 | JULY, 2012 Throughout the Fall semester of 2011-12 session Galgotias University has arranged many distinguished lectures by many notable academicians, researchers and corporate professionals for the benefit of the students. Prof. (Dr.) D.P. Kothari’s lecture on energy and environmental problems was one of them. In this lecture Prof. Kothari discussed many informative stuff related to energy and environmental problems that the third world is facing. He also talked about its possible solutions. The students liked the lecture a lot since this is one of the contemporary burning issues that everybody must be aware of. We entered the New Year with the First Semester End Examination still continuing. As the exams got over and the teaching staff got busy with the evaluation and re-evaluation of answer sheets, the University came up with the CEL workshop for the faculty members. In this modern world where stress level of people is high, distances are long and will is short, where negativity easily conquers the feeble positives in our lives, we were introduced to the Centre for Evolutionary Learning’s program to help us bounce back to the state where we are the masters of our life, our disposition. The seven day long workshop taught us ways to flush out the negativity collected over years and allow the Mother Energy to bring in the soft positivity, thus connecting us back to the roots with the earth. The workshop proved to be a success as most of us, suffering from the metropolitan high stress lifestyle, were unable to come to a harmony with ourselves and the world around us. However the timely and soothing guidance of Mr. Nishchal Kapoor and Mrs. Rai gave us an insight into the ways through which we can control our mental balance when dealing with such situations. In January, in an effort to expand our horizon, we participated in EDEX- An International Education Exhibition. Galgotias University was represented by the Dean, Prof.(Dr.) D.K Jha, and Ms. Anita Charles, Head- International Relations, where a host of universities, both national and international, participated to woo the student section of Sri Lanka. The exhibition was attended by about 90,000 Sri Lankan students and parents who came to collect information about all the good options of institutes/universities that existed for their wards to move towards their bright future. In this regard, before leaving Sri Lanka, Dr. Jha also had a brief meeting with the Dean, Faculty of Sciences Prof. (Dr.) T. R. Ariyaratne, Dean of Faculty of Sciences, University of Colombo, where the two discussed areas of mutual cooperation in future. The Vice Chancellor welcomed the newly admitted scholars of the Ph.D program to its Orientation on 13th February 2012. Galgotias University has launched its Ph. D programmes in streams like Engineering, Basic and Applied Sciences, Library Science, Humanities and Management. The scholars were provided with some useful reference information about their program. Dr. Jha also addressed the students and explained the nitty-gritty of the program encouraging them to carry out quality research work along with gaining ample exposure through presentation and publication of research papers in reputed conferences and journals. The program provided research scholars with information to help them settle smoothly and timely in their research programs. 2012 is a year of new beginnings for the Galgotias University. Holding on to its vision of providing a high quality, research driven, globally oriented educational experience, the University invited Prof. (Dr.) Marks W. Exler from the Kufstein University of Applied Sciences, Austria, to deliver a short course on ‘Mergers and Acquisitions’ to the students of MBA. The course lasted from 12th -18th February, 2012. The students of the Galgotias University got a chance to meet and interact with fellow students from Wurzburg University, Germany on 24th February 2012 when a group of 24 German students visited our campus on invitation. The German students were extended a warm traditional welcome by our GU students putting them in an awe of the warmth of the Indian way of life. The visit gave the opportunity to the students of both the universities to discuss in detail the social, cultural and educational systems in India and Germany. With new friends found and contacts established, the GU students moved a step up in beginning to establish friendly network round the globe.
  • 11. 11 WIPRO Technologies was here in the Galgotias campus one to organize a 5- day workshop on Faculty Empowerment from 21st to 25th of February, 2012. The workshop titled, Mission 10X- Faculty Empowerment workshop, is a faculty community portal exclusively built for Engineering faculty that exclusively provides many learning materials and innovative techniques. The participat- ing faculty included not just faculty from Galgotias University but also from other institutes. The objective of the workshop was to supplement faculty members’ existing facilitation skills and along the way nurture students’ level of understanding of the subject being taught while developing key technical and behavioural skills. The participants were made aware of some innovative teaching methodologies and teaching aids. The faculty members were given tips on helping students develop key employability skills. March 2nd to 4th were reserved for the Annual Fest of the Galgotias Group of Institutions. Named G-Quasar, ‘Quasar’ meaning the most radiant source of energy in the universe, the event was a pompous affair with events and competitions. The three day fest had a show stopper event at night for all the volunteers to unwind and the guests to enjoy! It saw big names as Dr. Kumar Vishwas, Mika, RDB and Honey Singh were all to be found under one roof during G-Quasar. The fest attracted more than 20,000 students from various colleges and universities the whole campus was in full zoom. The students of various streams got together to put up this great show under the aegis of Student Affair Department. Our wish to make Galgotias University a truly international University saw us moving a step further in the direction when our VC Prof. K.N Tripathi signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Northern Illinois University, USA. On 6th March, Galgotias University achieved its first foreign collaboration to promote closer cooperation and bring exciting programmes and scholastic activities to its students. Apart from this delegations from the University of Toronto, Canada and the University of North America also visited the campus. Discussions are underway in making collaborations with these Universities and we are sure that in the coming months our students will get a truly international environment of study. The noon of March 27th, 2012 was packed with action as the Galgotias Educational Institutions held the launching of the book, ‘Anna,13 Days that Awakened India’. The author of the book, Mr. Ashutosh Kumar was present there and he delivered a short talk on the context and reason behind the writing of the book. An over-excited segment of students waited with baited breath to ask the author certain questions which had been doing rounds in their minds since the time they had read the book. The author was so glad to meet such enthusiastic audience and answer their queries. The jam-packed hall at the GCET campus was also indicative of the star value added with the meet. The event also had the renowned poet Dr. Kumar Vishwas who obliged the audience with his famous poems and also shared his experiences with Anna, when he got the opportunity to meet him and spend some time with him. The meet was interactive and the audience returned home with a renewed zest and respect for the Anna movement. The month of February, saw launching of various clubs of Galgotias under Cultural, Management, Technical, Literacy, Sports Categories. The students showed immense enthusiasm to start various clubs .GU has established more than 20 clubs like Dance Club-Studio -D, Technical Club Q.bit, Galgotias Soccer League etc. Various competitions, workshops and events were organised throughout the session by club heads under the guidance & supervision of Ms. Vinnie Mathur-Head, Student Affairs & Clubs. On 4th May, 2012 CEL’s Mr. Nishchal Kapoor had a brief session with students regarding the problems they were facing as a result of tight study schedules and the dilemma that students of this age face with several issues around them, unable to come out with a concrete solution. The workshop aimed at initiating interaction with the students and helping them to cope up with the pressures and expectations of professional and personal lives. In order to be a responsible youth, youngsters need to strike a balance and have peace within. This is possible once they are able to analyze their strengths and weaknesses. Mr. Kapoor emphasized that we would need to work more on our ‘internal personality’ than on the ‘external personality’. The students responded well. After an initial period of hesitated silence, the students opened up with the issues that trouble them and received able guidance from Mr. Kapoor on how to conduct or go about the complex situations in their lives. The 90 minutes session ended on a hope that the lessons learnt here in this workshop will be incorporated in their lives by the students and the feedbacks of their experiences will be given in the next workshop. With this we would like to thank all those who have made Galgotias University a place that we would like to nurture… a place that we would love to grow with… a place that we would cherish and finally a place we would devote and dedicate ourselves to be a part of. All of us will have to strive hard to beat into the realm of glory and valor that Galgotias University has yet to bring off with our confidence smoothed down for us to appreciate, feel and to work out. It is not just a matter of temporary effort to a goal that we just bother about; rather it is a matter of sparkling yet submerged rejoice which is a combination of hopes, goals, plans, ambition, desires and chiseled intellectuality at Galgotias University. Such a day is not, we believe, very far off. As we stretch out our vision far into the future, we see Galgotias University shining with glory and success.

  • 13. 13 On behalf of the entire team of The G-Post, I welcome you to Galgotias University. Tell us something about yourself? I am currently a Professor at Purdue University Calumet, USA. Before joining Purdue University in 1987, I have worked as a Design Engineer, Quality Control Engineer, and Software Developer I have authored/coauthored textbooks on several major CAD/ CAE/Animation software packages like ANYSYS, SolidWorks, CAT- IA, Pro/Engineer, NX, AutoCAD, Customizing AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, Solid Edge, 3ds Max, 3ds Max Design, Autodesk Inventor, Mechanical Desktop, and VIZ. In addition to North America, my textbooks have been translated and published in Russia, Japan, India, South Korea, and Serbia. I was able to obtain over $24 Million software grant from ANSYS, IBM, and Siemens. I have also developed a web site that provides free teaching and learning resources to faculty and students. Since 1992, over half a million users have visited this web site and are using the resources on a regular basis. I am also the founder and president of CADCIM Technologies, USA and CADSoft Technologies, India. These companies was established in 1992 and are involved with publishing, engineering consulting, software development, and training. In 2003, I was awarded a US patent for one of my inventions “Self Adjusting Cargo Organizer for Vehicles”. I am currently working on the design and fabrication of two new wind turbines that will significantly increase their power output and can be used to charge the batteries of an automobile. Purdue University has filed a provisional patent application for one of them “Wind Turbine for Automobiles”. I am actively involved in consulting and have served as a consultant to over fifty companies in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and Canada. In 1988-90, I developed a software package "SMLayout" that has been registered by Autodesk Inc. as a Third Party Software Product. This software package is currently being used by various companies in Canada and United States. Regarding the educational philosophy, I believe that the educational institutions are the most important organizations in any civilized society and the teachers play the most important role in this venture. To enable the teachers to perform their job, we have to make sure that the faculty members are provided the latest tools and facilities that they need in teaching, research, and other related activities. I also believe that we should have a national incubator program that will nurture and train the aspiring university faculty to meet the challenges of teaching, research, and service. Also, the universities should be the major learning and research centers where value education is an important part of the curriculum. Each student is unique and the teacher’s role is to guide the students to achieve their educational and career goals. Besides academics, it is very important that the faculty members involve their students in research, product design and development, service, extracurricular and team building activities. I enjoy the nature and farming related activities. My hobbies include yoga, walking, running, camping, and hiking. What has motivated you to join Galgotias University? I know Suneel Galgotia for a long time, about 20 years. He has a strong desire and a dream to make GU one of the best universities in the world. I want to work with Suneel, Dhruv, and the GU faculty and administration to make it happen and make a defining contribution in making GU a world class university. What is the status of technical and management education in the USA? In general, the quality of education in USA has gone down, especially in engineering and science fields. However, various measures are underway that will make American educational institutions more competitive. What are your future plans? For a long time, since 2001, I have been thinking about starting an Engineering and Management college based on the ancient philosophy of Indian education. An education system that emphasizes the overall development of a student, in terms of body, mind, and spirit. This time tested Indian educational philosophy is extremely important to develop the overall personality of a student. I want to work with a university/college that has similar believes. Interview of Prof. Sham Tickoo, Pro Vice Chancellor Galgotias University Go confidently in the direction of your dreams Every student must have a dream or dreams. A student without dreams is like a bird without wings. The dreams act like a catalytic agent to drive the desire to achieve something in life, says Prof. Sham Tickoo in an interview with The G-Post , who has recently taken over as the Pro Vice Chancellor of the Galgotias University.
  • 14. 14YEAR 1 | ISSUE 3 | JULY, 2012 What changes are you going to bring in the existing education system at Galgotias? 1--I believe an educational institution should run like a business, not like a typical educational institution. If our graduates can start a business, I don’t see any reason why we cannot do it with 300-400 highly educated and experienced faculty members and administrators. In addition to education, we need to get involved in other activities like consulting, product design and development, software, and IT services. The revenues generated through these activities can be used to reduce the student tuition fee and provide reasona- ble compensation to faculty; about 30-80 lacs/year based on the work and contributions made. The work hours might in- crease to 60-70 hours a week, which is typical in high paying industry jobs. 2--Establish Chancellor’s Advisory committee to discuss the university related issues. The members of this committee will be the senior officials from universities, industries, government offices, and banks. 3-- Encourage and provide incentives to faculty members that get involved in consulting and research. This way we can bring the latest and real-world knowledge and experience to the classroom. 4-- Some research funding should be made available to new faculty members. However, the senior faculty members, associate and full professors, should be able to fund their research activities through research grants. 5-- Introduce an incubator program for the faculty members. The purpose of this program is to introduce the faculty to different teaching methods and methodologies and then let them use the one that best fits their teaching style. 6-- Every faculty member should select two institutions, one national and one international, and compare their course syllabus with these institutions. The selected institutions should be one of the best in that field. 7-- The senior most and the experienced faculty should teach the beginning classes. This is important for the reason because new students need more help to understand the subject matter and the concepts. 8-- Most of the papers published these days are below average. We need to encourage our faculty to publish more meaningful papers that have a purpose with measurable results. 9-- The lecture material that is developed by the faculty members should be posted on the university server that can be downloaded for a nominal fee. The revenues generated can be shared with the faculty. 10-- The faculty members should be encouraged to publish books in the field of their expertise. These books will be used at GU and can be published in various countries as e-Books or in printed format. 11-- We should improve our admission standards to attract the best students. At the same time we need to take care of the stu- dents that do not, for whatever reason, get access to higher edu- cation. We need to establish a parallel education set up, something like a vocational institution or six year degree programs, that will take care of the less fortunate section of our society. Note that India has a huge untapped talent that stands ignored. It is our social responsibility to give them an opportunity to excel in the field of their interest. 12--If needed, we can seek collaboration with institutions like ITT Technical Institute of USA to establish a Vocational Education program in India. 13- According to some studies, like the one by McKinsey Global Institute, 256 million existing workers need to be retrained to update their skills. We can address it by opening state-of -the- art vocational training centers in India that are affiliated to GU. 14-- Start the following research centers/programs: Entrepreneurships Program Product Design and Development Center Water Management Center Solar, Wind, Geothermal, and Water Research Center Nanotechnology Research Center Other centers that utilize the expertise of the faculty members 15--Streamline the GU operations by delegating the responsibilities and authorities so that everything runs smoothly and timely manner. 16--Start new programs like Mechatronics, Bio-Medical, Chemical, and Aeronautical engineering. 17-- Ban cell phone use and texting in the classrooms, meetings, and other important events. 18-- Introduce values education. This will help the students become socially responsible citizens. 19--Establish industry advisory committee for all departments that will meet twice a year to discuss curriculum related issues. 20--Establish university curriculum committee that will approve all documents related to curriculum issues. 21-- Establish Faculty Governance Committee that will take care of all faculty related issues. 22--Install several university servers connected to leased high speed internet lines. 23--Use social media to promote the university programs and activities. 24-- Install computerized university enrollment, student registration and grades, and the financial and management systems. 25-- Every faculty member must teach at least two course in the field of his/her expertise. 26-- Faculty members should get the students involved in their research projects. Also, when possible, involve the students in publishing papers and related material. 27-- Faculty should get involved in organizing national and international conferences at GU. 28-- Encourage faculty exchange with various universities in developed countries like USA, UK and other countries. 29-- Start articulation programs with some selected universities in USA, UK, and Australia and invest in these programs to make them successful.
  • 15. 15 30-- Increase international admissions by opening admission/ counseling centers in various overseas countries. 31-- Establish a central computer lab and library that are open round the clock (7/24) where the GU students can study, do home work, and use the computers for whatever work they need to do. 32-- Provide free internet in the selected labs and wireless accessibility throughout the campus. 33-- Make arrangements to provide secure and safe working environment throughout the campus. 34-- Work towards ABET accreditation. 35-- Provide flexibility in course development, within certain guidelines to be set by the departments. Also, some examination papers should be set and graded by faculty members of institutions like IIT. 36-- Invite outside faculty members/expert to evaluate the faculty members that are up for promotion. 37-- Encourage the industry experts to teach some classes at GU. This will bring the real-world experiences to students. 38-- Avoid the tenured appointments because it gets misused by some faculty members. 39-- Develop guidelines for faculty promotions. 40-- Open GU campuses in India and overseas to address the regional educational needs. 41--Team work and leadership skills are very important and therefore we should incorporate these activities in our courses. 42--Establish a culture that encourages team work, research, involvement in student activities, values education, and excellence in education. 43-- Send the deans and department heads/selected faculty members to various countries to study their education systems and incorporate the good elements in GU work and study culture. 44--The mission/vision statement should be more detailed that gives a better idea about it. Do you see reverse brain drain a reality in today’s economically booming India? At this stage, it is not a reverse brain drain. Most of the countries are facing economic crisis and that has reduced employment and business opportunities. However, jobs are still available for students who have the skills that are needed in the industry. Those who don't have these skills are forced to return to their countries. Therefore, we cannot call it a reverse brain drain. However, effort are underway that can eventually create a true reverse brain drain that will attract the top talent from other countries. What are your expectations from students and your col- leagues at Galgotias University? As such, I do not have any expectations from my colleagues or students at GU. We have a highly educated and talented faculty at GU and I want to sit with them, learn from each other, and share the experiences and then jointly decide what will help our faculty and students at GU. Many foreign universities are setting up their centers in India or arranging a tie-up with existing institutions. Do you think this will improve education scenario in India? We have to be careful about the universities that are opening campuses in India. Some are really good and want to establish quality institutions. However, most of the tie-ups are driven by profit motives and to make a quick buck. Such institutions are bound to fail and hurt the education system in India. Given the fact that Indian students lack in soft-skills and there is less practical exposure. How are you going to address this issue at Galgotias University? 1-- We should find the ways to get students involved in research and consulting projects. 2-- Encourage students to take up summer jobs and give them credit for the work done. 3-- Faculty members should get the students involved in their research projects. Also, when possible, involve the students in publishing papers and related material. 4-- Get students involved in sports and extra-curricular activities. 5-- Encourage students to take part in national and international competitions. 6-- Introduce work-study programs that will get students in- volved in labor intensive manual jobs. This will teach them the dignity of labor and better understanding of what is involved in manual labor. 7-- Use the senior and graduate students to offer tutorial sessions for needy students. Also, such students can be work with the faculty to grade the assignments. The students should be paid for these activities. 8-- Introduce a capstone course that requires every student to do a project, individual or a team project. 9-- Hire qualified students to do part time work in the university. 10--Add more lab related content in our courses and provide more lab time and labs at GU. 11-- Have graduate students teach and help students when they are doing the lab related work. Your message to the students. Every student must have a dream or dreams. A student without dreams is like a bird without wings. The dreams act like a catalytic agent to drive the desire to achieve something in life. Initially the dreams might be blurry and sometimes almost impossible to achieve; that is OK and natural. Keep on working on them, refine and redefine them, and one day they will become distinct and achievable. Also, the values education plays an important role in our lives; it helps us to become a socially responsible citizen. It teaches us how to be a good human being, good friend, good parent , and a good employee or employer. I would like to add few more thing to the list; love yourself, love the world around you, and make today more beautiful and meaningful than yesterday. Also, challenge yourself, incrementally, but surely. If you adopt these simple things in your lives, a day will come when you will be surrounded by joy, and happiness will radiate from your face and personality. Also, do not be scared of hard work or hardships. Face them and fight them out; it will make you wiser and smarter. Here are few lines from the famous poet, Iqbal "AKAL AATI HAI BASHAR KO, THOKREIN KHANE KE BAD RANG LATEE HAI HEENA, PATHAR PAR GIS JANEI KEI BAD" Good luck and wishing you all the best.

  • 18. 18YEAR 1 | ISSUE 3 | JULY, 2012 African students to come to Galgotias University for Higher Studies. Indian education is highly valued and sought after in Africa. Galgotias Uni- versity was represented by the International Office at education fairs held in five African countries (Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Congo) to promote GU as a center of excellence for higher studies. The result is that the new session beginning in August 2012 will see new faces from the African continent arrive, to make GU their home for a few years. This will be the first batch of foreign students to be admitted to Galgotias and the International Office of GU is gearing up to make their transition to our University as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Besides that, we also expect students from Nepal, Bangladesh, Japan and Korea to be part of Galgotias University. For most of these students it will be the first time they leave home and travel out of their country. In India and at GU they will enter a new phase of their life where they will be exposed to a new culture, food, language, living and learning environment. To give them a positive head start to this new experience, all of us at Galgotias-both students and the faculty- need to show our spirit of Indian hospitality, friendship and welcome these new students to the Galgotias family. Those students who would like to help the international students in integrating into the life at Galgotias University may please contact the International Office –Room 309 and enroll as a STUDY BUDDY to these students. To be a Study Buddy, all you need is a helpful attitude, kind words and willingness to make new friends. You will be attached to one or two new students to be their “Buddy ” for the first few weeks and provide any assistance with language or information they might need about restaurants, markets, malls, entertainment, how to use transportation, bank/money changers, etc. You will have to meet your Study Buddy upon arrival, help your Study Buddy in their first walk around the campus and assist them in settling down in their new environment. You are also welcome to take a leadership role in organizing activities and events for the group. Every kind and helpful act will help you form great bonds of friendship with these students from a foreign country. It will also help you learn about people from other cultures and increase your understanding of their country, their values, beliefs etc. This knowledge is something that no textbook can give you, and will additionally help you greatly when you work or travel abroad later. These International students will also benefit greatly from your guidance and friendship. In return, you will develop intercultural skills and friendships that could last a lifetime.

  • 19. 19 When controversy surrounds and things blow out of proportion remember, that tranquillity still makes sense When tension surrounds and mind gets exhausted remember, that patience still makes sense When mystery surrounds and logic takes a backseat remember, that reality still makes sense When laughter surrounds and the vox gets too loud remember, that silence still makes sense When darkness surrounds and the heart gets out of rhythm remember, that hope still makes sense Dr. Deependra Kumar Jha Dean, School of Engineering & Technology CEL “Centre for Evolutionary Learning” a non-profit global research network organized a workshop on “Personality Development” for students of B.Tech I year at Galgotias University on 4 May, 2012. The programme started with the Dean, Dr. D. K. Jha welcoming the key speaker Mr.Nischal Kapoor, IBM’s Worldwide Insurance Industry Leader. The workshop aimed at interacting with the students and helping them to cope up with the pressures and expectations of professional and personal lives. In order to be a responsible youth, youngsters need to strike a balance and have peace within. This is possible once they are able to analyse their strengths and weaknesses. Mr. Kapoor emphasized that we need to work more on our ‘internal personality’ than on the ‘external personality’. Initially the students felt hesitant but gradually they came out of their cocoon and shared with the speaker that they lack in self-confidence, their memory fails them in critical situations, they are impatient, irritable and though they strive for hard work, they lack the will power to be successful. The speaker explained to the students that it is possible to utilize 100% of our abilities, provided they focus more on the development of ‘internal personality’. He talked about ADHD-Attention Deficit and Hyperactive Disorder and how we need to tackle these disorders. Centre for Evolutionary Learning believes that the path to Total Personality Development lies in managing inner harmony and outer balance. Once we are able to achieve this, the youth can significantly improve in patience, confidence, communication and team spirit. The students were fully engrossed in the 90 minute-interactive workshop as Mr. Kapoor emphasized the role of total personality development through various exercises and not just by lecturing them. The program aimed at total personality development through self-awareness, self-confidence, self-control, empathy, motivation and social-competency. The workshop motivated the students to ponder over what is unique about them and how they need to be internally driven to be successful. The students were briefed on the importance of giving and receiving criticism and compliments sportingly. The session ended with the students thanking the key speaker of CEL for an overview of how they should now strive to have a better understanding of the inner personality. They maintained that they would be incorporating the suggestions for enhancement of total personality given by Mr. Kapoor and would definitely give their feedback in the next work- shop.

  • 20. 20YEAR 1 | ISSUE 3 | JULY, 2012 On behalf of the entire team of The G-Post, I welcome you to Galgotias University. Tell us something about yourself? I was born in Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu and grew up there until I was 6 years old. My mode of transportation to school there was a bullock cart! I have a few fond memories of the short time I spent there. My father worked for South Eastern Railways and it was typical for him to get transferred to a different location every few years. While this caused a lot of inconvenience to our family at that time, I am very thankful for the many places I had an opportunity to live in. I spent most of my schooling days in Vishakapatnam (also known as Waltair) and also received the B.E degree in Mechanical Engineering from Andhra University. I embarked on a journey to the USA in 1989 for higher educa- tion and lived there until my move this year to GU. Most recent- ly, I served as the Associate Dean of the School of Business at Oakland University. What has motivated you to join Galgotias University? The opportunity to contribute to the shaping of a new Universi- ty that has the vision to deliver world-class education. What is the status of technical and management education in the USA? At the heart of any great institution is exceptionally talented and well educated faculty with a commitment to advancing knowledge as well as a student body that has the intellectual prowess and the motivation to excel in their endeavors. If you look at the institutions in the US, you will find that there are hundreds of institutions that offer this combination. While there are many factors that contribute to the phenomenal suc- cess of institutions in the US, in my humble opinion it is primar- ily driven by its ability to attract the best faculty and student talent from across the world. Engineering and Management education in the US continues to be regarded as the best in the world. While there are challenges to retaining this status, I re- main very optimistic that the US will continue to be a leader in higher education. Do you see reverse brain drain a reality in today’s economi- cally booming India? When countries create attractive opportunities and a model where innovation is encouraged and rewarded, it is bound to attract talent. And this has been the case with India for the last few years. What are your future plans? I will focus on contributing to GU’s institution building efforts. What changes are you going to bring in the existing education system at Galgotias? Changes in curricula and pedagogical methods are collaborative exercises and no one individual can or should try to bring about a change. So, my efforts will be directed toward building a col- laborative model for continuously assessing our curriculum and making amendments to them that will serve our students well. What are your expectations from students and your colleagues at Galgotias University? I have already received a very warm welcome. I look forward to working with colleagues in all areas of the University. Many foreign universities are setting up their centers in India or arranging a tie-up with existing institutions. Do you think this will improve education scenario in India? Competition from any quarter will motivate existing entities to improve and challenge them to prove their value to the market. So, in this context, it is a welcome initiative. However, it is too early to predict the broader impact this move will have on the education in India. Given the fact that Indian students lack in soft-skills and there is less practical exposure. How are you going to ad- dress this issue at Galgotias University? We have already developed a Professional Development Program and are in the process of looking an implementation model. Your message to the students. The three C’s that I usually talk to students about are -- Commitment to work Do your work (professional and personal) with a commitment that goes beyond simply the need to complete your task. Commitment is deep involvement and is reflected in everything that you do – the way you interact with others, the way you help a colleague or the quality of output. Confidence with humility Let no one make you believe you are not capable of accomplishing the goals you have set for yourself. Believe in yourself. Be confident but have the humility to accept your mis- takes and recognizing that there is always someone that knows more than you do. Care with passion Care about your community, country and the disadvantaged people across the world. When given an opportunity to impact a life, in however small ways, do so with passion. 3 Cs for Holistic Development Three Cs i.e. Commitment to work, Confidence with Humility and Care with Passion are essential for the growth of an individual, Says Prof. Balaji Rajagopalan, Pro Vice Chancellor, Galgotias University in an interview with The G-Post . Interview of Prof. Balaji Rajagopalan, Pro Vice Chancellor, Galgotias University
  • 21. 21 In India the women are being kept on a different pedestal. In Vedic scriptures it is said that where women are worshipped, there lives the triad of health, wealth and prosperity. And where women are tortured and neglected, the family and the whole nation perish. This is the status a woman has got in our Indian society. Today a lady has come out of the shackles and the boundaries, and women have also started flying high in the sky; they have gained such a height that the world seems to be a small place for them. A daughter, a wife, a mother and so many other roles to play-- the lady of today has achieved excellence in almost every field. They now prove themselves in every sphere of life and perhaps reinforce the saying that a perfect woman is near to God. Our Indian society is made on two strong pillars- one is male and the other is female. Both of them play a very significant role. They both have to be equally strong to lay a strong foundation for a better society. In order to have a strong society we have to empower our Indian women in all spheres of life. In spite of comprising 50 percent of the population on the globe, women have not been given equal status with men. In fact, a major part of this sentiment can be attributed to gen- der role socialization that regiments the process of raisings boys and girls for different roles. In global recognition of problems of women and efforts of several persons the UN declared the year 1975-85 as Women’s decade. Increased awareness, education and efforts of the government resulted in some change of the attitudes among women and on women. This changed attitude resulted in redefinition of some of the roles women play in our society. This is evident in the increased participation of women in education, employment, polity, decision-making, health and family planning and also in raising of voices against social evils like dowry, female foeticide and other socio-political and economic issues. The recent social changes have given women an opportunity to enter a different developmental stage which was once forbidden for them. Despite all said and done, Indian women are still far behind when compared to women in the west. This is mainly due to the age-old traditional norms and restrictions that are imposed on them. Hence education for women will ultimately help in the overall development and improvement of women in their social, economic, health and political status. Stanely Jaya Kumar in his article “Changing directions in the status and role of Women in India” critically discusses the changes that are taking place in the status and role of women in contemporary Indian society. Because of the role relationships, the traditional social structure, cultural norms and value systems continue to place Indian women in a disadvantaged group and seek to put them in distress and much more in similar circumstances. Our Indian women are not only becoming strong and upgraded in their social life but even politically they also are stretching out their arms in various sectors. Dr S.V Shinde in his research paper “Women in Indian Politics” (vol. I 2011) has advocated the political role of Indian women. According to him an important area where women have been inadequately represented is the political sphere. Articles 325 and 326 of the Constitution of India guarantee political equality, equal right to participation in political activities and the right to vote respectively. In 1990, the United Nation's Economic and Social Council endorsed a target of 30 per cent women in decision-making positions in the world by 1995. Looking at the statistical trend in the first Lok Sabha, we find that there were only 22 women constituting 4.4 % of the House. It has increased marginally over the years; the female participation now shows a fairly good percentage of 51 in the fourteenth Lok Sabha. Similarly in Rajya Sabha, in 1952 the percentage of female participation was merely 6.94% of the membership. Over the years the percentage of women has increased to 9.50 % of the House. It is not just the case that females have shown their active participation in contesting elections and securing their positions politically, but the records even show a tremendous increase in the percentage of the female voters. Out of the 543 total constituencies of the Lok Sabha, the number of elected women in Lok Sabha increased from 49 in 1999 to 59 in 2009.Apart from this, the percentage of women voters has also increased from 55.6 % to 55.8% in the above said period. However, the recent changing trends in the structure of the society, advancement of science and technology, women’s education and participation in workforce have created new awareness for women to elevate their status. Factors impacting women's economic empowerment are many. But a few of them include violence (domestic violence, female foeticide, sexual abuse and others). Apart from these, even in small areas due to illiteracy people do not send their daughters to school. They think that the education is the copyright of boy and the girls are born to do only household work. These factors hinder the path of success of a girl and subsequently the whole nation suffers as only one pillar becomes strong and the other one is neglected. This creates a state of vacuum which needs to be filled up. The government and many NGOs have started work- ing in this filed and they are trying to make people aware of the importance of the girl child. Their efforts have started showing results. Nowadays females are becoming socially awakened and have also started to know their rights and responsibilities. They are proving themselves in every spheres of life. Whether it is the role of a perfect homemaker or a proficient leader and entrepreneur in the social front, women are moving ahead and filling up the vacuum that was prevailing in the society. The society needs to be changed for the overall development and the development lies in the upliftment and upgradation of both pillars of society as has been rightly stated by Kofi Annan “ when women thrive, all of society benefits, and generations are given a better start in life”.

  • 22. 22YEAR 1 | ISSUE 3 | JULY, 2012 Facebook- it is a term with which I think every single individual aged 12 or more would be familiar with. It has simply revolution- ized the phase of social networking. And on top of it, a newspaper has said that “if the social networking website was a country, it would have been the third largest most populated nation, after China and India”. So there was an attempt by Facebook to improve its privacy poli- cies. Recently a poll on which Facebook policies should be put into place on the social network was conducted on its site. The poll was bombastic!! It saw a serious lack of user interest. In the country of 900 million users, only 342,632 voted on which privacy policy should be adopted. This number accounts to a mere 1 user in every 2,600 users, or just 0.038 percent of the total Facebook user strength. This was like a shocker for the heads in the business. Around 297,883 people -- approximately 87 percent of all respond- ents, chose to keep Facebook’s existing SRR and Data Use Policy. Reports shown from the employees of the Facebook shed light on why there was such a low percentage of people voting. The report gave excuses that users might not have seen the link to vote on their Facebook pages (which is amusing as we all know most of the users check each and every notification), as it was placed on the left side tool bar next to their news feeds column. Ars Technica said in one of its reports that Facebook’s efforts were just not catchy for alerting users as compared to those of Google that placed a link to new privacy policy under the search box on its home page for users across the world days before the policy came into effect and its usage on a large scale was started. It is obvious that websites can lead users to the privacy policy but cannot force users to read the privacy policy, but in the case of Facebook it wasn't even leading the users to read it. Facebook honchos were not pleased with the low turnout followed by such harsh criticism. "Despite our substantial outreach effort, the number of people who voted constituted such a small and unrepresentative percentage of our user community," said Elliot Schrage, Facebook's Vice President of Communications, Public Policy and Marketing, in a lengthy posting on the social network about the results of the vote. So, this leaves a very big question to be asked. Do you think Facebook didn't take the required steps to notify people? Or the low numbers were just an indication of the cold response from users to Facebook? Vertika Anand, MCA Batch-1 The glamorous world of Modelling, offers an exciting, adventurous as well as a lucrative career to youngsters. A model gets opportunity to travel to beautiful locations, be pampered, be able to attend events with celebrities and earn an attractive pay packet. But to attain glamour and popularity, this profession needs hard work and sacrifice. Dedication and perseverance is needed to be successful in this field. One needs to be physically, mentally and emotionally strong to succeed as a good model. Realizing the importance of this fact Galgotias University has created a Fashion Club: ’Scintillations’ and orga- nized for its auditions . Galgotias University Fashion Club held their auditions for modelling, designing, makeup and choreography on 12th May 2012. Many as- pirants from all courses at Galgotias came up, trying out for a spot on the ramp. Guys and gals showed their talent and the deserving ones were selected on the basis of qualities like Attitude, Walk, Designing (fashion designing), Looks, Personality, Persistence, Will-Power, Organisation, Responsiveness, Independence, Stamina, Confidence, Politeness and Courtesy . The auditions were taken by the head co-ordinators of fashion club Akriti Sharma and Rashika Mangwani, who aimed to discover talented students. The search began enthusiastically, every contestant was eager to show their talent and make an impression. The auditions witnessed hundreds of contestants, wishing to showcase their skill at walking the ramp and to have an edge over other contestants to top the show. Definitely it seemed as if they were prepared for the cut throat competition. The auditions started from 10am and lasted till 3pm. There were certain rules and principles according to which judgement was being made. Inability to keep in line with the rules, got many of them rejected irrespective of their skills. Now we have a vibrant team of the Fashion Club who would represent Galgotias University in every competition. So to stand out in a big crowd and to leave your mark is by no means an easy job. And for this one needs skills and hard work beyond the imagination of most people. Overall the performances were appreciable and auditions were conducted smoothly. We here by congratulate all the participants who got selected and look forward to participating in Inter college events & festivals.
