[satyan raghuraman]

Dear all,

It is nice to know the interactions amongst all the bactches. It is really wonderful to have guest lectures and an end examination to evaluate the students through some testing sessions. Currently the students are busy with their semester examinations scheduled to commence from 19-04-2008. All the guest lectures can be planned from first week of July 2008. One of our faculty who coordinates all the guest lectures is sri KR Vinayak. Our Hon. secretary sri T Narayanswamy , who was handling drawing subjects to you all during the period 1982-85 (phone no. 23491016) is also keen to meet you all during first week of May 2008.Let us all meet during first or second week of May 2008. Thirdweek of April to first week of May 2008 we are busy with even semester exams conducted by Board of technical examinations

regards,

raghuraman

Hari Om,

I feel it would be ideal to first start the technology so that the students have an understanding of the basics and current happenings in the technology sector.  Once this is over we can have the testing session.

I would also suggest that we just do not give lectures (which would make the audience sleep, which we all do in most seminars),  these should be more of interactive sessions and an small examination at the end of the session.  This way we can get to know if the students have really understood what was taught in these sessions. At the end of the day the students should gain from our experiences and we have a satisfaction that we have done our little bit to the betterment of the students.

Best Wishes

Happy Evening All,
 
Any thoughts on putting in a model which we can make work? ... considering our physical presence needs, distances, contacts for getting these done, number of participants, etc.
 
I think naturally we have tried to put more to Shams' shoulders considering his close proximity and locality knowledge...  
 
Ananth has kindly offered to conduct sessions on technology headsup.
Kalaivanan has kindly offered to engage his friend conduct session on software testing.
I am also in.
 
Whom in MEI should we contact for this to facilitate?

Best regards, Kumar.

Happy Evening MEI Alumni Friends,
 
Today I had been to MEI
 
1. I met Raghuraman sir. He suggested it would be nice to stat the guest lecture series.
 
2. When waiting to discuss with principal VH maam I came across parents who were finding it difficult to arrange for 2nd year (3,4 sem) fee. I remembered it was in our agenda to support poor students. So I paid the fee by 3 cheques as needed, totaling to Rs.6,500/- Student is Asha S, 3rd Semester Mechanical. I also requested VH maam and Raghuraman sir to help us with a list of poor students who are finding it difficult to arrange for fee, so that we can help them.
 
3. Meanwhile we are also working on arranging for bag rack and shoe racks for 3 labs.
 
Best regards, Kumar.

Dear Purushotham,

 

Thank u for helping students of MEI. Today I paid Rs 4500=00 admission fees to one of the students in CS by name Ms. Gayathri. Let us all continue by contributing something to society. Time has come for us to pay back to society.

I am happy that your group is working out in giving us assistance in terms of infrastructure support . I also cherish and remember 1991 batch who has set the ball rolling in terms of support.

Let us also contribute in terms of knowledge support by way of guest lectures.

 

God bless u all.

 

regards,

 

raghuram

Hi,

 

I am also willing to support any poor student. Instead of supporting students on induvidual basis, Could we collect funds & keep it aside for this cause?. RaghuRam Sir or V.K. Mam could actually find out the needy student & utilise these funds accordingly. Please let me know your suggestions.
