AmalJyothi BeatsCampus Frequencies Unleashed . . .

A stunning scene welcomed some of our students today. A note was written over one of the desks using white chalk. The message was “Keep the class rooms clean. Leave the toffee wrappers and paper pieces in the waste basket. WE TOO ARE HUMANS”. Lines born out of extreme suppressed emotions and it draws a clean picture of mere helplessness.

                Students of Amaljyothi were warned in the past by the management to keep their class rooms and surroundings neat and tidy. As a matter of fact we have indeed formed a special code of conduct for the same. Most of the students really obey these rules and strive really hard to make their college look beautiful as ever. But, the work of some will spoil the good deeds of many and this is what we are seeing right now. Earlier. there were complaints from the CCF lab, library and all about the indecent manners of some our students. Students must understand that the room re-arrangement and cleaning staff are less in number and considering the size of our college, their work will become very tedious if we continue to do the same. Under any circumstances this behavior cannot be exempted.

                All the students of Amaljyothi have a responsibility towards the college management and the staff. The people working in the class room re-arrangement and cleaning department are very much senior to us in age and social experience. They sacrifice a lot for our welfare and disrespect to them will become disrespect to the God himself. We hope that the students will keep this aspect in their mind.

(Note: Kindly do not scold any of the staff members for this. We take up the responsibility and it was really our mistake. We are sorry!!!)

As we go on building skyscrapers all around our campus, the journey from one building to the other is becoming more and more difficult. The management is doing many things to make this journey smooth. After the Lady Bridge that connects the ladies hostel to our main building, we are about to witness another engineering marvel – a lift to our newly built three star guest rooms.

                The newly constructed building for canteen is huge and spacious. Utilizing this we have converted the top floors of this building into guest rooms with three star facilities. Our college has always been a trend setter and instead of the traditional stairs we have a lift that will cover the entire floors. The tracking device shows that it is under maintenance. It is expected to become fully functional by next month.

The campuses of many of the IT firms, like the Infosys, keep their own rules and regulations that are to be followed by everyone when they are in that campus. If we are going at this pace then surely by the end of 2015 Amaljyothi will be known as an engineering city with its own infrastructural facilities. This dream may be acting as the driving force for our “super management”. May we get the results of all our efforts.

Amaljyothi’s academic spectrum has broadened in the last two years with the addition of post graduate degree programs. As pioneers in technical education, we are bound by our commitments to the society and providing master degree courses to the students is one among those commitments. Quality master degree courses with international exposure would be a dream of any student who wishes to build up a strong career.

                A foreign collaboration would give our students a great push. Very recently the college had its first round of discussions with the Deakin University, Australia about Developing dual Masters Program in Engineering, Identifying and developing strategies for key collaborative research areas and establishing possible staff and student academic exchange program / short term study tour. It would be a great advantage if we could complete the first two semesters of our M-Tech course here and do the rest in some foreign university and this would have been the primary topic of the discussion.

                Prof. K. Baskaran, Associate Dean (International), Faculty of Science and Technology (Chair in Civil Engineering) School of Engineering, Deakin University led the discussions with our deans, HOD’s and senior faculties. In future we may be able to see some foreign students coming over here for doing their research or some of our students going to other countries to complete their studies. The current final years have a chance, if the discussions are getting accelerated. All these significant developments will cement our position among the top class academic institutions of our nation.

Amaljyothi’s prestigious and unique feature – the LADY BRIDGE got a spot in MALAYALA MANORAMA, one of the leading daily news papers in the country. The news paper that came out the other day had an exclusive coverage about this “link” that connects our ladies hostel with the college. As no other campus in Kerala can claim such a facility, the news would indeed give us a distinction.

                However the article clearly says that boys are not allowed to walk over this bridge. Since the commissioning of this wonderful bridge our boys were getting discriminated. When the women walk across the sky bisecting the clouds with pride, our men folk would use the dust covered land route for their journey. So the students request the management to think seriously about a “GENTLEMEN’s BRIDGE”. Each day Amaljyothi adds new and new beads to her necklace made out of stone, cement and bricks and we hope that in a very short time the guys will get their chance to walk over their own bridge.

“If cricket is our religion, then Sachin will be our God” – this is a mantra that is being sung by almost a billion Indians. The impact of this game and its influence over the youth is tremendous. A lot of people will be against this but in a span of 30 years this sport has transformed itself into a new mode of communication. Today it is not just a game but a business that reaps millions. It seems the students of Amaljyothi want to be a part of this great sport in a big way.

                Amaljyothi is having a college cricket team and the management is supporting the team in every possible way. A new trend has started and students are extremely excited about this. Many have padded up and walked across our ground occasionally but now we have at least two matches every day. Mixed branch matches and branch wise matches are now common. Almost all of the final years are showing extreme interest in this.

                Daily practice will definitely increase your skills and being victorious each time is not a silly thing. May be from next year onwards we could possibly start an AMALJYOTHI PREMIER LEAGUE or an ENGINEER’S PREMIER LEAGUE. Now, during the day time, the students have nothing else but cricket to talk about. All the games were conducted very smoothly and maintaining the sportsman spirit like this is a huge achievements. There may be great players amongst us waiting for an opportunity to shine. Let us wait patiently and watch the coming games to find out the ultimate heroes

Page 33 is undergoing an evolution. This year we will be focusing on to a theme. Students are requested to give their work based on the theme “THE CHANGING LIFE“. This is an opportunity to bring out your creativity and show the world, who you really are. The completed work shall reach the editorial board before the end of march. The following members are there in the editorial board this year – Saran S Nair, Sebin Jose, Karthik M, Lalet Scaria, Tina Maria Thomas, Pratibha Elsa Thomas, Rosu Jacob, Deunia Susan John, Jilson Thomas, Josekutty Abraham, Nithin Chandy, Bittu Sebastain, Boves, Arun Antony, Karishma, Shirli, Annette Maria John, Nessia, Joan, Jubil, Mathews Thomas, Anumol, Blessy, Keerthy, Shirmili, Shibin, Kevin, and Ashiq.

         General articles are also welcome. Language can be English or Malayalam and this year the entire team is dedicated to bring out a magazine that will have very high quality. We expect the cooperation of all and by God’s grace may this year’s PAGE 33 be a big hit.

“At the right most end of the resource block, right next to the chapel, there is a small room… A smiling face in white priestly cloak would welcome you and people from outside call him The Principal of Amal Jyothi. For us HE IS AMALJYOTHI” – these were the words used by our comperes to describe Rev. Dr. Jose Kannampuzha during Azure 2012. True to the words, he is our light, he is our guide and he is our pride. Our dear Jose Achan turned 60 , the real Amal Jyothi turned 60.

60 years of life has given him a lot of names from various fields. He is he only priest to head an engineering institution in Kerala and his voice would shake any walls. Behind the success of any great institution, there will be the presence of a great visionary. It is under the leadership of Fr. Jose that we achieved so much in such a short span of time. We must call this as ‘the reign of Fr. Jose’. Jose achan was instrumental in the start up of many things. For some years he headed the Jeevan TV. Former students of NSS College Palakkad still remember him for routing their lives into glory. He played a key role in starting the student training program known as the TURNING POINT.

The list of adjectives and achievements will never end when we start to speak about this living legend. He will speak louder than anyone else and his actions speak louder than those words. In our heart, along with the pictures of Lord Jesus and Lord Krishna, we have his picture too. Let the Almighty bestow all his blessings upon him. Its late but still Happy Birth day dear Jose Acha.

The Malayala manorama Mastermind contest came to a glorious end here on 8^th of February. Amaljyothi raised and stood on her feet to bow before the legendary entrepreneur and founder of IT giant INFOSYS, Padma Vibhushan Dr. N R Narayana Murthy. We would like to call it a day when the young scientists from various schools and colleges were honored by the great man himself. Mr. Murthy was here for almost two and a half hours along with the Mr. Jacob Mathew, the executive editor of Malayala Manorama.  

The guests arrived here at amaljyothi at around 10.15 in the morning and had a brief discussion with the principal, deans and the students. It was indeed a shock for all of us, watching the enthusiasm and vigor of him. Instead of just listening to the presentations of the college and the students, he showed extreme interest in knowing the details and giving necessary guidance. Mr. Murthy insisted the college authorities and the students to utilize our strength properly. According to him, engineers are bound answer problems that require a technological solution. A transformation from technical education to technological education is needed and Mr. Murthy himself explained how he was taught by the teachers of his time. He remembered that out of the 13 companies that started along with them, only Infosys made it this further. Mr. Murthy said that the secret behind his success was nothing but the right combination of strategy, human power and technology. He advised the young engineers of amaljyothi, that a product or service becomes valuable only when people are willing to pay for it.

The prize distribution ceremony was blessed by the presence of Mr. G Vijaya Raghavan, the chief of mastermind jury panel and Mr. mathews varghese, associate editor of Mamalyala Manorama. Mr Jacob Mathew and Mr Narayana murthy addressed the gathering. After the prize distribution ceremony, he found some time to take part in a small interactive session with the students and participants. He appreciated the students for being direct. Due to lack of time he could answer only some of the questions. Mr. Murthy’s comments will definitely motivate the future entrepreneurs of our college as well as others. His passion for his work was evident from his speech and there is no wonder how Infosys climbed up the ladder to become one of the best companies in the world. It was indeed a great honor to share the same soil with such an iconic figure and we are eagerly waiting for the next year’s Mastermind contest.
