r Joseph VG is the founder of Garden City Group
ofInstitutions, which has carved a niche for itself by Dproviding quality education in India. Today students from 69
countries and from all the States and Union Territories of India have
made Garden City College their home for knowledge. The reason for
this being the efficient academic practices implemented by this
visionary genius, at a young age.
The principles of Garden City College laid down by him, with the
emphasis on life, have made it one of the most sought-after institutions
for higher learning. In the last two and a half decades Dr Joseph VG has
crossed several milestones, in the arena of education and has stood
witness to the immense growth of Garden City Group of Institutions,
becoming its major inspiration.
A thought to establish an institution that would serve mankind for
hundreds of years crossed his mind during 1985 which sowed the seed
for the beginning of Garden City Education Trust. The trust was
established in 1992 with the intention of establishing institutions that
were on global standards.
Garden City College was the first institution that had shaped up from
his vision to serve the needy with quality education. His intention was
to eliminate unemployment to the maximum extent and thus introduce
job-oriented courses. His emphasis was always on quality education
and hence in 1995, Garden City College witnessed the introduction of
highly acclaimed courses in Science and Management Studies with
new combinations that are apt for the industry and a new syllabi has
seen light after a long gap.

industry and one from the IT sector graced the occasion
on the launch of 'Candid Gardenia' an interview based
show, on the lines of the interview-based talk show

of the Gardenians and getting to know them better.
KG Vasuki, the Bureau Chief of 'The Pioneer' and
Nagesh Srinivas Gopal, CEO and Chairman of Ideaon

curiosity that filled the students' eyes. After the launch

the queries which were adorned with their life experiences. When
asked about the ethics in practicing journalism, the
knowledgeable war journalist Mr Vasuki stated, “Piggybank
journalism is prevalent in the world today, as examples from

concept of increasingly interdependence of media and software
expertise in this growing techno-savvy world.

An experience with the living legend of sufi music-Ustad Puran Shahkoti.
On behalf of Garden City College I got an opportunity to interview one of the Kohinoor of Indian Sufi music “Ustad Puran Shahkoti’ for G-News. It was a great pleasure to share beautiful moments with him and to get some knowledge about singing”.
Ustad Puran Shahkoti is less an individual and more an institution. He dedicated his whole life to popularize Sufi music, In the modern era he is well known name of the Punjabi music Industry. He got very much famous with Series song “Fakran di kuli wich Rab wasda” in a Doordarshan Punjabi serial “Chita Lahoo”, Sohniye ni menu teriyan udeekan, Rabba mere haal da mehram tu & many more. He is not just regarded but also worship by the Sufi music followers.
Ustad Koti holds the distinction of having trained some of the popular Punjabi singers including Hans Raj Hans, Jasbir Jassi, Master Salim, Sabar Koti, B Parvez Peji, Diljaan, Madhar Kartarvi, Balbir Bira, Kumar Darshan & many more.
“Singing is god’s gift to me. My father Niranjan Das taught me singing. I took further training from Bakir Hussain khan ‘Sahib’ of Patiala Gharana. My wife (Mathro ji) gave me immense support during bad times -when we had nothing to eat and no shelter,” says Puran Shahkoti.
Ninder Ghuganvi wrote a book “Kuli wala Fakir” on Ustad Puran ShahKoti which became very much popular among readers. My only aim is to make the upcoming generation aware of Sufism, classical music, heritage, culture” says Puran Shahkoti.

“A smile is the lightin the window of your face that tells people
you’re at home.”~ Author Unknown

Recondite: mysteriousLEARN A WORD
Bangalore is a beautiful contemporary city that marries glitz with tradition. Though the population of the city prides itself in being educated and literate, what people here sorely lack is civic sense. These days, it is almost impractical to walk on the side roads not having to dodge potholes and dog faeces. I mean, the major cause of traffic that piles up in the city is because of cows and buffalos making themselves at home on the middle of the road while their owners are not at all bothered about the raging situation. There is not a single area in the city which can be even closely associated with the word, ‘Hygienic’… the elevators for example, it is absolutely impossible to travel in one without having to notice the extremely filthy red paan stains on the sides. And what’s worse, the noxious fumes coming out of the unauthorised garbage dumps all around the city. It is sad to know that a major chunk of literate people contribute to disposing of garbage in public areas in the city. Why is it that we as Indians have such poor civic sense? Why is it that we do not consider public property as belonging to all of us, rather than to none of us? We do not have the patience to stop at the bins, disembark from our vehicles and put the garbage inside the metal bins through the openings provided. We try our luck with our aims and most of the time the garbage bags hit the bin and end up beside it. Civic sense, or rather the lack of it, is a matter of grave concern as most of us do not care much for it. This attitude is prevalent across all sections of society.“A man who lacks civic sense is not a good citizen”- Governor H R Bhardwaj. The shabby image of our city is purely due to the lack of basic civic sense. While we
‘Civic sense’-Fails to hit the Spotlight
meticulously clean our houses every day, we have no problem in discarding the garbage in a nearby sewer or on the street. How can such a person be called a good citizen? It’s clearly understandable that where poverty exists and illiteracy multiplies, the sense of cleanliness fails to hit the spotlight. But for the literate population also civic sense has gone for a toss?Every morning I observe women from well-to-do homes happily dumping cans of garbage into the drainage nearby I’m beginning to feel that they haven’t been introduced to the concept of trash bins as yet. And as the waste settles in, its obnoxious odour, penetrates through the numb olfactory nerves, and sours the eyes with its grotesque naked appearance, it’s just unbearable. It is a common sight to see people in a high position at work, who travel in luxury vehicles, stick their head out of the window just to spit out. I can assure to you that the word ‘Dignity’ doesn’t exist in their dictionary. It’s embarrassing to even look at something so notorious. I’m sure that it is high time we understood that we don’t own public parks, monuments or roads to keep littering them and making a mess. It is government property and it is our job as responsible citizens to help preserve them for the generations to come. Keeping our homes neat and tidy is very important, but more than that, we need to keep our city clean. After all, our domestic lives remain private, the world is not interested in knowing how hygienic we are or how well maintained our homes are. It is the city that is seen by people and it is this sphere that represents who we are in a larger perspective, and I’m sure that cow dung on the road doesn’t paint a pretty picture at all. We are all better than we appear, all we need to do is pull up our socks and turn on our civic sense for both, the betterment of our lifestyle as well as our city.Category: All Blogs
