An article in peopleandplanet.net dated August 05. 2005, titled: “Challenging apathy to clean up deadly Ganges.”
This is a story on Prof. Veer Bhadra Mishra and his Ganges project. He was head of civil engineering department at our college. His passion for a project for clean up of Ganges made him “Hero of the planet” by the Times magazine in 1999.
Excerpts from the article:
Challenging apathy to clean up the deadly Ganges
Posted: 05 Aug 2005
The Campaign for a Clean Ganges is trying to create heightened public awareness in India and abroad to cleanse the world's most important river: lifeline for nearly 500 million people. It is also pioneering a pond treatment system to clean up the pollution which is killing many thousands of Indian children every year. Here Ganges river activist Roger Choate reports on the uphill battle to clean this most holy of rivers.
The nationwide campaign is led by a bold Brahmin, Dr Veer Bhadra Mishra, who uniquely combines his roles as a professor of hydraulics and also as Hindu high priest (Mahantji) to press for cleanup of the river flowing alongside his ancestral home. Not surprisingly, the long-running campaign seeks to combine Hindu cultural values with the empirical evidence of water contamination.
This is not always easy, to put it mildly. Many ordinary Hindus cannot grasp the thought that the river they literally worship as spiritually pure is in fact materially damaged. Nor is the concept of collective civic action very well understood. The Indian Government does not help matters by suppressing its own river pollution statistics. Measurements must thus be taken by private organizations.
As India's oldest environmental campaign, we first got underway back in 1982. Many battles later, in 1999, Time Magazine nominated Mahantji as "hero for the planet" for awakening global opinion to the plight of the polluted Ganges where millions live along her banks. "Bathing in it. Drinking it. Washing clothes in it, irrigating their fields, dying by it and then having their ashes borne away by it," as British Writer Eric Newby put it.

One of the largest engineering workshop setups in India is facing serious trouble in the present times. It is facing multiple problems which are in turn hampering the practical education which the institute provides to its students.
The workshop setup if ITBHU, arguably one of the biggest in India, equipped with machines of all kinds and moulds has been facing ever growing problems. The problems are basic and serious. The very first is lack of skilled workers, who can be allowed to operate the sophisticated machinery. The age-old workers have all retired with time and replacements are scarce or almost negligible. The situation has become so pathetic that workshops which used to have 15-16 skilled workers manning the machines are now left with a workforce of only two to three workers at the most.
This in turn results in poor maintenance of the machines. Without proper workforce, the workshop incharges are helpless and thus proper maintenance of extensive machinery is now an improbable task with the current workforce. Many machines have stopped rolling and rumbling, and thus their practical applications have now become a part of theory for the students. This is the case with many workshops.
A direct consequence of all this, is that students have less of practical work to do. On being asked, workshop superintendent further says that unskilled workers cannot be allowed to handle the machinery and with the degradation of workforce, he has been forced to close down few workshops.
He further adds that lack of funds is also one of the problems that are hindering the workshops from serving the purpose they were established for. The workshops stores have a serious lack of materials.
With all the aforementioned problems the practical aspects of engineering, which can only be realized by the aids of these workshops are being nullified. If the authorities do not react quickly there might be a time in near future when workshops would stand as desolate structures.

The TECHNICAL ACTIVITY CENTRE (TAC), I.T. – B.H.U. organized its first major event of the new academic session in the form of workshops for first yearites. The workshops which had been delayed due to scheduling problems had to be rescheduled one final time as it clashed with Janmashtami celebrations.
But finally, when it did get underway, the enthusiasm of the students was a sight to behold. Attended by a record 250 odd students, the workshop finally kicked off on the morning of the 27th of August. Day 1 was meant for MOTORBOATS in which students were provided junk, motors and batteries and were asked to design a motorboat which would move in a straight line. Buoyancy forces and viscous drags were so thoroughly disseminated that it would have made Archimedes and Newton proud. After 5-6 hours of slogging, the end product was nothing short of scintillating. The ingenuity in design was there for all to see as the shapes ranged from that of a ‘rocket’ to that of ‘batman’. But,it wasn’t only about artistry after all. That they had applied the principles of science was reflected in the way almost all the 60 boats (students were grouped in teams of 4) moved in straight lines. But , the standout fact was the single-mindedness and determination of the students. Imagine going 7 hours at a stretch without any food and water!
Day 2 was about STRAWBRIDGES , in which students were asked to design bridges out of straws which could sustain as much weight as possible . And , if one thought that the day before was too tiring to bother to turn up, the increase in the number of participants made one wonder if anything in the world could sap these students. Buoyancy forces gave way to trusses and suspensions. An innovation, strawbridge might have been, but what came out , surely would have put even some professional designers to shame. It all ended with the students asking for more and TAC,by the look of things, intends to provide it.
TAC , which has now become official (institute affiliated), made presentations to the students as to its past achievements , future objectives besides presentations related to the workshop. Group mentors (mainly 2nd yearites who were TAC members) were present to help out the various groups. TAC, in order to achieve its objective of getting bigger and better, will shortly be conducting workshops in other schools and colleges, as it has been doing before.
Coming soon to the TAC center near you: workshops on aero-modeling, robotics, microcontrollers, mouse-problem and much more

The I.T. B.H.U. chapter of SPIC-MACAY was back in action with VIRASAT 2005. The annual cultural extravaganza that showcases the talent of maestros of Indian classical music and dance saw a mesmerizing performance of Odissi dance by “Padmashree” awardee Smt. Kiran Segal.
For starters (and non starters alike) Society for Promotion of Indian Classical Music and Culture Amongst Youth (SPIC-MACAY) was started in 1979 at IIT-Delhi. It is a non profit, voluntary, apolitical and participatory student movement that works for the affirmation of the priceless cultural heritage of India by conserving its aesthetics, spirituality and mystical touch; it has been pretty effective, more than the so called custodians of Indian culture (all may not agree to this).
The I.T. B.H.U. chapter of SPIC-MACAY holds multiple cultural concerts-VIRASAT each year. VIRASAT-2005 was organized on 23rd august 2005 at 5:30 p.m. at Swatantrata Bhawan. Continuing with the tradition of bringing the finest exponents of Indian classical music and dance to BHU (Smt. Shubha Mudgal and Ustad Bismillah Khan to name a few), VIRASAT-2005 presented Smt. Kiran Segal.
Smt Kiran Segal is a world renowned Odissi dancer, perhaps the finest mistress of this art. A gem of an artist, she has been honored with the “Padmashree” award and “Sangeet Natak Akademi” award (and, there’s a long list of achievements). Originally a Bharat Natyam dancer she has devoted her life to explore the intricacies of Odissi.
The event began with the felicitation of the artist, who was accompanied by two of her students and her troupe, by Dr. B.N.Rai. The chief guest for the event was the Dean of BHU.
Segal ji started her performance with “Pushpa Archan” and then thanked the audience, all this through beautiful dance steps. She and her students then enacted famous poetries giving expressions to each word. The performance that left the audience spellbound was her enactment of a dejected Radhaji and Krishnaji trying to pacify her. Her facial expressions and body movements were awe-inspiring. Also exemplary was her energy giving dynamism to the stage enthralling the audience and letting hallucinations of “Apsara” dancing in heaven.
The dance performance was followed by interaction with the audience during which she explained the difference between Bharat Natyam and Odissi and answered questions from the audience explaining the intricacies of the dances. She even called a few students from the audience and demonstrated through them the basic dance steps.
The feedback from the audience was encouraging. They were all praise for her down to earth nature and her awesome skills. The way she blended the traditional with modern, kept the audience (mostly Gen-Xrs) interested, or rather mesmerized them. The event was marked by extensive media coverage.
A disturbing feature of the event though was the half filled Swatantrata Bhawan, bringing the haunted question back to the mind--- “Where’s the Indian culture headed to?”
As reported by: Varun Murali [Mec '08]
The first major cultural attraction of the new academic session, the first yearites dance competition, was held on the 30th of August, 2005. Usually one of the biggest hits in the IT calendar; it was no different this time around. The jam packed G – 11 was rocking all evening with the audience too swaying to the music.
Scouts looking out for dancers would have been quite impressed with the quality of performance. In reality, it was just the fruit of hard work that had been put in by first yearites (rehearsals went on till late in the night) and their mentors comprising their seniors. The centre of activity was undoubtedly the girls hostel, with pretty much all the first and second yearites residing there lending an active hand towards the successful conduct of the event.
The results were however along predictable lines, with Chemical engineering students continuing their stranglehold over theatre as well as cultural events by bagging the top honours in the Group Dance. The importance of the ‘C’ factor was not missed out with Ceramics and Computer Science sharing other top spoils. At the end of it all, there were the customary allegations of bias, but, even that couldn’t drown the spirit of the occasion as everyone joined hands and had a real ball. All in all, it was a day to chill out and enjoy.
Next up, is the FACHHA skit competition.
As reported by: Kapil Srivastava [Mec '08]
On the 16th of August on official fresher's night was organized in the swatantrata bhawan. The main objective of the fresher's night was to allow the newcomers to display their talents and to get to know each other better.
The eminent people who were present there to grace the occasion included Prof. S.N. Upadhyay, Director of the Institute, Prof. A.S.K. Sinha, Department of Chemical Engineering, Dr. P.K. Mishra, Head of the cultural wing of the Gymkhana, Prof. G.N. Agarwal, Head of department, Department of Ceramic Engineering and others.
The director addressed the audience in swatantrata bhawan and welcomed the first yearites to the institute again. He then told them about the institute again in brief and then wished good luck to all the participants for their performances.
Then the performances started and the students from all the branches showed tremendous enthusiasm and spirit in their performances. There were group dances, solo dances, group songs, solo songs, instrumental performances and skits presented by the students of almost all the branches.
On a bit of inquiry, it was found that they had been helped by a few seniors, which included Anjani Rai, Vaibhav Suman, Kapil Hari Dwivedi, Piyush Jain and Swati Arora. The coordinators of the event Pushpendra Pratap Singh and Mridula had worked hard to put up a good show. Even the compering of the events was being done by the first yearites.
The judging panel had Vipul Srivastava, Manish Sharma, Mehek Khandelwal, Swati Arora, all from 4th year Ceramics Engineering dept. and Piyush Jain, 4th Year Mechanical dept. The judges said that the performances reflected lack of practice but the spirit and enthusiasm was commendable. They also spotted the natural talent, which cannot be hidden. Gaurav Mittal and Shubdha were declared Mr. and Ms. fresher respectively.
The crowd behaved very well and there were minor instances of hooting which the teachers and students easily brought under control. Overall the audience was very cooperative.
Way to go Facchas...
It was done by our alumni, Saugata Chakraborty, CSE2005. We appreciate his initiative to make the name of our institute known all over the world.

Technology and the arts - two varied segments converge in
this banker-turned-IT pro-turned filmmaker, L.C. Singh. An alumnus of
the Institute of Technology and Harvard Business School, he spent over
30 years shaping the Indian IT industry - of which 17 years of his career
was invested in India's largest software services company, the TCS. A man of strong opinions, Singh believes that today's youth is cocooned from reality. Youngsters are in a state of disconnect and they do not find the rest of the world as good and smart as themselves; this is dangerous. "There is so much money now with IT and BPO boom. These youngsters do not realize that being modern does not mean giving in to smoking. There is nothing cool about drugs and divorce," he bemoans. This belief made him choose a very influential medium to convey his message to the youth. Singh turned filmmaker with 'Banaras: A Mystic Love Story'. |
|
"There is something special about Banaras that has attracted mystics and gurus from Shankaracharya, Kabir to Krishnamoorthy. It is also a city where fear of death is overcome," says Singh. Singh always had this creative urge to write. He approached close friend and director Pankaj Parashar with the script and things fell in into place. Parashar previously made ad films for Singh during his days at TCS. " This (the film) is my visual tribute to the spiritual city of Banaras where I grew up and studied. Banaras is close to my heart," says Singh. The Rs 8 crore film's star cast includes popular actors the likes of Naseeruddin Shah, Dimple Kapadia and Urmila Matondkar. "The film is an attempt to convey the 'Indianness' of our roots in a contemporary manner. There is need for introspection about the social impact of the way we choose to live and it is this quest for existentialism that finds an echo in the film," he extols. Having launched his career with the State Bank of India, Singh moved on to work for the Iranian Ministry of Finance as a consultant. After a short stint with Zensar Technologies, he set up Nihilent Technologies, a solutions and consulting provider for global businesses. The
journey he says has been quite an eventful one. The most harrowing time,
according to Singh was during the market crash and then the 9/11 tragedy. |

An article about Rekha Seal in Tata Steel in-house magazine:
http://www.tatasteel.com/webzine/tisco_news/tisconewsarchive/lifeline_express/tisnewspg_q42001_09.htm
She is an alumnus (1973 electrical engineering) of our college.
Read the full article:
When you have a conflict of interests and want a quiet word with someone, you can turn to her. Despite being the first woman Graduate Trainee of the company she is not one to flaunt it. She is Mrs Rekha Seal, Ethics Counselor of the company.
Rekha Seal grew up in Jamshedpur, studied in the schools run by the company and then went on to complete her Higher Secondary from DM Madan Girls School in 1967. It was only natural for her to opt for engineering since both her father and grandfather were engineers. She applied to Benaras Hindu University and was accepted for the BSc Electrical Engineering course. In December 1973 she came back to Jamshedpur to join Tata Steel as a graduate trainee. The first woman in the history of the company to be accepted as one.
"People were giving the forms but girls were not encouraged those days to apply. We took up my case with the management, they agreed and gave the clearance. Since I belonged to a family of engineers, I had made up my mind in standard VIII or IX that I wanted to be an engineer. My father, who was a Tata Steel employee, was particularly encouraging. The people who were apprehensive were friends and neighbours, who felt that I was entering a "man’s field" even when I went to college."
But that did not deter her. She began her career in the company in CEDD
Project in the Electrical Group and was assigned to electrical projects in the
Town and Works.
Recalling her training days, Mrs Seal says "At the Technical Institute I was very unsure about how to handle things. But people were very protective and there was no negative attitude."
"But there has been a lot of change in the last five to six years. The management has started giving importance to women. Daughters of first generation employees have started joining the company and in some ways the family has been extended to the workplace in Tata Steel. The number of girls who now join the company has increased and that is a very encouraging trend."
Mrs Seal has been very instrumental in helping women cope with the work environment at Tata Steel. As the Ladies Ethics Counsellor and a Training Executive she has seen any young women join the fold, though less than one would expect. "There are fewer women in the company even today because steel is considered a low tech industry."
Professionally she has always been a cut above the rest and has served as a member on many task forces, as well as, been a JN Tata assessor.
Her current assignment as Ethics counselor is a complete change of
responsibility for her. After 25 years in engineering and planning, where she
always had goals and targets to
achieve, now she finds that "in the new profession there are no results to be seen. Now there is no short term target. The horizon has completely changed."
"I get satisfaction by helping people and setting the system right. When a person is aggrieved then it does not matter whether the listener is a man or a woman," she says. Confident of her skills as a counsellor she says, "I feel that people come to me without hesitation. Women employees and suppliers who are women are comfortable with me. In this job one must have the ability to listen to be successful. Moreover, there is a need to ensure that one is effective, and the management is supportive of suggestions made by me."
Her personal goals were very focussed when she joined the company. She dreamt of joining Tata Steel as a
graduate trainee when she was young. She was sure that she would achieve something and wanted to work sincerely and have people recognise her as a sincere worker. She wished to match the standards set by her father who was constantly at work and as a child Mrs Seal did not get to see him for days. "His dedication has served as an inspiration. I was ready to spend time continuously in the Works for long hours, even days."
When asked what values she intends to uphold at Tata Steel, she says, "Tata Steel is like a family where we have grown up. I would like to see more women here especially because there are softer options. I would also like to develop more counselling skills because different situations need different treatment, training will help me deliver more effectively besides there is always scope for improvement."

The readers’ responses are as follows:
1) The quality of the publication is very impressive. This is what I would expect from IT junta. A great job by the editorial and web team. Kindly convey the sentiment to the team, if at all possible.
The page also renders well on Firefox, and its good to see that the w3c standards are being adhered to (www.w3c.org). Personally, I would love to see an article in the next issue on open-source software (and philosophy) adoption measures and extents in IT. Some stats captured on the routers should provide interesting reading.

2) This issue of Chronicle is really nice! I enjoyed reading it. Congrats for getting it towards the right direction. Now its has really started looking like a "chronicle" and certainly very different from
Reverberations. A few more improvements... and this journal would be perfectly professional. A few more pictures and a few more student opinion quotes on current issue/problems/ achievements would be great.

5) Congratulations to the Chronicle team! Boys its getting better and better.
Ever since we passed out from IT, the one thing we all used to share during our "BC" sessions was that if there's one thing in the world that hasn’t changed at all, its IT-BHU Varanasi. Can’t say why, but we used to take pride in her constancy and age. It was a phenomenon independent of time. Yeah, now I have to say it was.
Congrats to the current batches for getting LAN in your rooms and your 1st year courses revised and the hostels renovated and the CNC workshops and A/c lecture halls and the new dual degree courses and the...this much I could gather from the Condensed news-letter!
But there was one change that I took with a pinch of salt. Not sure when it happened but Limbdi was considered the traditional stronghold of the 4th mech. Now seems none of the hostels match with the ones in which our batch stayed. How does it matter now?
Once again guys, you made me to take time off and go back to the golden days. Thanks a lot! Keep up the good work and do tell us more about the online gaming tournaments you people are going to have!!
