Call for Open Innovation

Undergraduate students of IITs can be assigned challenging research projects at an early stage so that they can complete the work by the time they graduate. As a result some projects may culminate into complete product.

The route to Open Innovation has to be Understood and Strategized in a Comprehensive manner

Balance both

Sides of the Brain

Education is

cultivation of four main

axioms

Knowledge (not to

instruct but to impart it)

Love (love for

humanity)

Beauty (beauty is in

the eye of man to see every

child beautiful

Power (to empower

with intellect)

The main functions of education can be summarized as follows.

To bring out the real man in oneself

To build the power of the human mind and spirit i.e.evoking of knowledge, character and culture

To enable the individual to establish a clear continuity between the past, present and future.

To enable the individual to establish right relationship within himself and outside-world.

True education, is not only spiritual but also rational, vital and physical.

Education to be complete must have five principal aspects relating to the five principal activities of human being:

1. physical

2. vital

3. mental

4. psychic

5. Spiritual

This education is completecomplimentary to each otherand continued till the end oflife

Meditation is an act to concentrate mind on a single train of ideas which work out a single subject.

The first internal conditionnecessary is concentration of the will against the obstacles to meditation.

The second is to be free from all disturbing reactions such as anger, grief, depression, anxiety etc

The object of an integral yoga is self perfection

We have well known (read one of the bests) Sattriya Dancer: Dr. Anwesa Mahanta

We have a regular Violin and Tabla performer of

Akashvani Lucknow: Dr. Devanand Pathak

We have accomplished Dhrupad and Hindustani Classical Specialist form Santiniketan: Mrs Bhaswati Sarma

We have a specialist in Tagore Songs and Songs of Tagore’s Dance Drama: Mrs Anita Mahanta

We need to add the likes of Safdar Hashmi/ Vijay Tendulkar/ Badal Sarkar

We need to add the likes of Nandalal Bose/ Ravi Varma/ Amrita Sher Gil

We need to add: Cultivation of values

We need to add: Development of morality

Development of Consciousness

Target is to reach: Perfection of soul

Creativity is cultivation of various cognitive

senses

Nature has identified the top ten institutions by comparing the

citation rates in Elsevier’s Scopus database for Indian institutions.

IIT Guwahati has citation impact of 1.07 with 3,700 papers in

Elsevier's database for the said years.

With the evolution of 4i-Lab and the Centre for Creativity IITG will be

able to integrate the entire student community with the system. Indian

Society today needs involvement of all stake holders in all the

developmental endeavors.
