FDP ON TEAchINg AND LEARNINg PROcESS ORgANISED BY gLS UNIvERSITY – A REPORT

By Jean Dsouza

There is more that can be done when it rains than simply going out on a

long drive or having a rain bath. Indians are perhaps the most

eager rain-watchers of all the people who wait for the monsoon in the world. The poetry and songs about rain that are written in India are incomparable in quantity as well as quality. The place with the highest annual rainfall in the world is India - Mawsynram, Meghalaya, with 11,873 mm (467 in) of rain per annum. And

the most important aspect of the Indian economy is rainfall.

And yet in 1951, the per

capita water availability was about 5177 m3. This reduced to about 1545 m3 in 2011. Water

scarcity is mostly man made due to excess population growth and mismanagement of water resources.

As I said, there is a lot we can do. The idea of rainwater harvesting came from our ancient Indian civilization. The system of collection rainwater and conserving for future needs has traditionally been practiced in India. Read on to know the different systems of rainwater harvesting.

As the global market is becoming volatile and demanding every day,

career opportunities are also becoming demanding. Mere discipline focused knowledge is not enough; one is required to develop holistic understanding of the world through interdisciplinary pursuit and industry-academia interface. This necessitates that after 10+2 exams; students’ immediate focus shall shift to choosing a professional course that may help realize their career aspirations. While career options in engineering, medicine, commerce and science generally dominate students’ choice after their higher secondary education, management programmes such as BBA, BMS, and BBS at

undergraduate level also present lucrative career options in the world of business and corporate management. This nuances laid key foundation for launching I-MBA Program explains Dr. Hitesh Ruparel – Dean, Faculty of Management.

After conceptualizing this program, focus-group discussion and interviews were conducted by our faculty members with Academic and Industry stalwarts to understand their expectations and opinions from the program and obtain their suggestions in designing academic syllabus.

The programme is designed to render the students with a holistic education and deeper understanding of business tactics of global magnitude. The main focus is on conducting interactive study sessions to germinate rational ideas and develop innovative thinking. Llive cases, e-learning and

positive influence of our renowned guest speakers facilitates students’ abilities and aspirations at IMBA. Key features of IMBA at GLS University are Choice Based Credit System which allows students to choose the subjects in the specialization of their choice. Looking at present trends and expectations of today’s market, special enrichment courses have been also designed along with regular classes to improve overall personality and sharpen soft skills of students as described by Dr kavita Kshatriya and Dr Sneha Shukla who mentor the academic pursuits of the programme. Students after being awarded BBAdegree, has exit option. The program is conducted during morning hours which gives us ample time to do part-time job or other activities; adds Roma Managalani, I-MBA student.

The program was intended to start with a batch of 60 aspiring MBA students. But looking at overwhelming response of students and their parents we had to enrol 110 students, most of them with distinction; adds Dr.Shah who was in-charge of admission process.

The orientation program was scheduled on 22nd June 2015 and Shri Sudhir Nanavati, President, GLS University graced the occasion as Chief Guest. During his address to aspiring management students, Shri Nanavati had offered great insights about the programme and its experiential model of learning.

RAINwATER hARvESTINg

IN INDIA

In the state of Tamil Nadu, rainwater harvesting was made compulsory for every

building to avoid ground water depletion. It proved excellent results within five years, and every state took it as role model. Since its implementation, Chennai saw a 50 percent rise in water level in five years and the water quality significantly improved.

In Rajasthan, rainwater harvesting has traditionally been practiced by the people of the Thar Desert. There are many ancient water harvesting systems in Rajasthan, which have now been revived.

At present, in Pune (in Maharashtra), rainwater harvesting is compulsory for any new society to be registered.

An attempt has been made at Dept. of Chemical Engineering, IISc, Bangalore, to harvest rainwater using the upper surface of a solar still, which was used for water distillation

SARvE SANTO NIRMAYAh

“What is this life if full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare………..”

A few decades ago, the world focused on making countries self-

sufficient and self-reliant. This objective has been accomplished to a commendable extent but unfortunately given birth to a new area of concern and challenge: the challenge of

helping individuals to lead a balanced, fit and healthy life.

To meet this objective, the UN declared 21st June as ‘International Yoga Day’. Yoga, an ancient mode of meditation, was introduced to the modern world by Swami Vivekananda at the end of the 19th century. Today it is one of the most reliable means of relaxation and acquiring physical, mental and spiritual discipline.

To mark this day, C. U.

Shah Primary school held a token celebration for students of classes V to VIII. Asanas like the Annlop Vilopam, Tadasan, Vajarasan, Ardha Matsyendrasan, Bhujangasana, Shavasan, Dhanurasana etc. were taught to the students.

These asanas were demonstrated under expert guidance and their importance was emphasized for improving concentration, boosting the memory and instilling new zeal and vigour.

INTERESTINg FAcTS ABOUT RAINwATER hARvESTINg1 inch of rainfall on a 2,000 sq.

ft. residential roof generates 4732 litres of water that can

be reused.Rainwater harvesting of 30

inches of annual rainfall generates more than 15000 litres of reusable water.

The demand for water has been growing by 1% per year for the past 75 years.

On average, a person uses 150 litres of water a day.

A leaky tap in the office toilets or canteen kitchen can waste 60 litres an hour.

38 litres of water are needed to refine 1 litre of petrol.

Rain clouds form in the sky when water vapour in the atmosphere cools and forms droplets. These droplets also contain dissolved nitrogen that comes from the air. (Nitrogen is the main active ingredient in commercial lawn fertilizer). Rainwater, whether it comes as rainfall or from a rainwater storage tank, greens up your grass with free, natural fertilizer. And you will be “greener” since this free fertilizer isn’t made from hydrocarbons. The average tap runs at 10 litres per minute.

The average shower runs at 22 litres per minute.

6-7JULY 2015

U S E Y O U R ( B ) R A I N !The book, Dying Wisdom: Rise and Fall of India’s Potential Rainwater Harvesting Systems, states: “Evidence of irrigation with water harvesting systems can be found in Kautilya’s Arthasastra, written in the

third century B.C. . .Wells were probably a Harappan invention… a recent archaeological survey of the Indus Valley Civilization revealed that every third house had a well.”

TAlAB / BANdhISTalabs are reservoirs. They may be natural or human-made. A reservoir area of less

than five bighas is called a talai; a medium sized lake is called a bandhi or talab ; bigger lakes are called sagar or samand.

Rainwater falling on the roof flows along gutters through down pipes into the tank, via the integrated filter, removing unwanted particles from the rainwater. The filtered fast flowing oxygen rich water is directed down through the calmed inlet to the bottom of the tank where it is deflected upwards.

JOhAdJohads are small earthen check dams that capture and conserve rainwater, improving

percolation and groundwater recharge. Starting 1984, the last sixteen years have seen the revival of some 3000 johads spread across more than 650 villages in Alwar district, Rajasthan. This has resulted in a general rise of the groundwater level by almost 6 metres and a 33 percent increase in the forest cover in the area.

Setting up a rain collection system can be as easy as using a funnel to rigging your downspout to fill up a large storage container. Some mechanisms go so far as to install water towers or retention tanks underground that store hundreds of litres of rainwater.

KUNdS / KUNdISA kund or kundi looks like an upturned cup nestling in a saucer. These structures

harvest rainwater for drinking, and dot the sandier tracts of the Thar Desert in western Rajasthan and some areas in Gujarat.

Implementing a rainwater harvesting system requires a storage tank, which can be part of the underground water tank, or independent tanks on the surface, depending on space availability. This tank will collect the water falling on the building’s rooftop or terrace. If planned in the design stage of a building, the costs of implementing it are minimal. The long-term advantages of such a system make this system viable. Many buildings in Mumbai have become tanker free by resorting to rainwater harvesting.

VAV / VAVdI / BAOlI / BAVAdITraditional stepwells are called vav or vavadi in Gujarat, or baolis or bavadis in

Rajasthan and northern India. Built by the nobility usually for strategic and/or philan-thropical reasons, they were secular structures from which everyone could draw water.

Rain barrels can be used in homes and apartments to collect rainwater for supple-mentary use. Those buildings which cannot will collect rainwater in sumps or make recharge wells can use rain barrels to harvest rainwater.

S. M. Patel Institute Of Commerce once again marked its supremacy

Celebrity judges like, Terence Louis (ace Bollywood choreographer), RJ Dhwanit (Renowned RJ and now a film actor) and Ms .Dipal Trivedi (Chief Editor, Ahmedabad Mirror) judged the competitions.

The five SMPIC finalist teams delivered their best at the finale. Hetvi Limbad (F.Y.B.Com) was the star of evening winning the first prize

of Rs. 1.5 lacs and when she lifted the glittering trophy, a crowd of 5000 acknowledged her performance with clappings that refused to cease. For complete five minutes she mesmerized the audience and the judges equally when she took to play Mouth Organ, Drums and Guitar simultaneously. The second prize winners “Mavericks” (Nidhip Shah & group) paid tribute to the Indian Cricket Team through their flawless dance movements in the dancing act. They won a cash prize of Rs.1 lac mounted with the runner’s up trophy.

The other finalists, Aflattoon entertainers (Jaimil Joshi & Group) who brought live a vibrant circus on stage, Trio (Utsav, Chaitanya & Akhil) presented a hilarious dance

performance and a solo performance paying a tribute to Akshay Kumar ( Utsav Solanki) also left their mark on the eventful evening with their brilliant performances. Smpic’s Kathanki Raval, Nawabs Group & Sur group were also rewarded Trophies for their noteworthy performances.

Shri Sudhirbhai Nanavati, President, GLS University, was so very moved by these extraordinary achievements of Smpicites that he declared a prize for Hetvi Limbad and for the “Mavericks” equalling the cash prize won by them at the finals of AM Talent Hunt and as a token of his appreciation, he also waived off the fees of all the winners. This multiplied the achievements and the joyousness of the winning Smpicites.
