19. 2008 Initiative
R-10 GINI
R10 Global Integrated Network of IEEE
students

20. GINI Time line
2008: Few Pilot sections to be identified , start coordination
activities and establish
HUBs
2009: Addition of new sections-Expansion of Pilot projects
2010: Establishing R10 GINI at Council level
2011: Expansion of R10 GINI
2012: Complete establishment of R10 GINI
Hyper Active GOLD/ student volunteers required !!!

21. Reasons for R10 GINI
Lahore Karachi
Delhi Calcutta
Bombay
Hyderabad
Region 10 still has 25%
Inactive Branches Banglore
Madras
Kerala
Successful
establishment of
IEEE LINK in Kerala

22. IEEE Student Activities - Structure

23. Disadvantages
Top Down Approach- Old Fashioned Network Model
Network among peers – local and global- very little
scope - extensively time consuming process
Benefits for a member is confined to the entity (SB)
to which he or she belongs
Lacks lateral knowledge sharing process
Increase in inactive student branches
Difficult to tap new potential educational
institutions, as no system exists

24. R10 Global Integrated Network of IEEE
R10 GINI – Global Integrated Network of IEEE
students
Five Year initiative to integrate all the SBs in Region 10
Based on the successful prototype of IEEE Kerala
Section –LINK R10
The Initiative was formally launched at Region 10
Student Congress held at Chennai, India in January
2008

25. Reasons for R10 GINI
Stay connected: Networking the students, around
Region 10
Improve the SB coordination at Regional level
– Creation of new SBs
– Sustain existing SBs, we still have 25% inactive
SBs
Add Benefit to IEEE Student Membership within
Region 10
Large potential for growth in Student Activities in
Region 10
Low conversion rate of student members to
GOLD members
Successful Implementation of Link in Kerala

26. R10-GINI : Vision
GINI shall act as a catalyst in networking
and sustaining the student branches of
Asia- Pacific, and in increasing and
adding value to IEEE student membership.

27. R10-GINI : Mission
Act as a conjunctive body to encompass
the Student Branches coming under its
geographical span
Increase networking and add value to
IEEE student membership
Reactivate sick student branches/add new
student branches

28. Proposed Structure – New Prototype

29. Advantages of the new prototype
Exponential Growth of the Network
– Setting up a similar network is easy
– The exponential growth in student membership,
branches and student activities
Lateral knowledge sharing is made a reality
Add benefits to the membership
– The reach of membership benefits not limited to an
SB
Cordial relationships among Student Branches
– Mutual help in sustaining as active Student
Branches
Increase the student involvement in IEEE
Converting higher percentage of student members to GOLD

30. Region 10 GINI - proposed
Pilot Sections
Include more
pilot sections
gradually
Build a full
fledged
network within
a span of 5
years

31. R10-GINI : Areas of Concern
Stabilizing IEEE Offices and the Volunteers
– Ensure the connectivity of Student Branch officials
– Try to bridge the gap with the proper transition of leadership
Retention of members
Special effort to address the concerns of new members
Resolve issues of members (spectrum delivery, branch
related issues)
Membership Drives
Membership Drives in Inactive Branches
IEEE Awareness
Visit potential Institutions for new Student Branches
 Branch Counselor – Motivate the Branch Counselor,
Institution Management Issues
Many more…………

32. R10- GINI: Mentor, Pilot Sections
R10 GINI Mentor Section
– IEEE Kerala Section, India (LINK)
R10 GINI Pilot Sections
– IEEE Australia & IEEE New Zealand
– IEEE Delhi Section, India
– IEEE Hyderabad Section, India
– IEEE Karachi Section, Pakistan
– IEEE Madras Section, India

33. R10 GINI : Organization
R10-GINI has a three tier structure
– Level 1: R10 GINI Execom
 R10 SAC, RSR, Mentor Section SAC, one Pilot Section SAC,
Four Student Volunteers (from GINI section student
representatives), R10 GINI Coordinator
– Level 2: Section GINI Execom
 Section SAC, GINI Section Student Representative, Hub
Leaders
– Level 3: Hub Level Team
 Hub Leader (SB), Hub Leader Branch Counselor, Branch
representatives

34. R10 GINI : Connectivity
R10-GINI has established a website
– www.gini.r10sac.org
GINI online meetings conducted regularly
 GINI will organize face to face meeting for
the R10 GINI Excom once in a year.

35. R10 GINI- Major Achievements
Networking among section SBs and Regional SBs on
an exponential rise.
Creditable conversion of sick SBs to active SBs
Formation of new SBs
Major increase in Student Branch Activities
Effective Utilization of Regional Funds
More value for IEEE student membership
GINI constitution approved in many pilot sections
