There's possibly only one thing in the world which doubles when you give, Joy. Who hasn't experienced the joy of giving? And who wouldn't want to experience it again and again? Exactly the reason why, these actos of joy, are now celebrated as a festival all over India as the Joy of Giving Week. The Social Club of SRM University has joined hands with Chennai Volunteers to conduct the Joy of Giving Week.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The name Paalam is synonymous with social worker
Kalyanasundaram who has worked tirelessly for the cause of the poor and the
needy. A profile. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">AN EPITOME of selfless service, `Paalam' P. Kalyanasundaram
is a fine example of simple living and high thinking. He practices Gandhian
principles without bothering whether the world takes notice of them or not. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">As he approaches people and appeals for funds to help
suffering children in his soft voice, they realise that he is not just another
fund-raiser. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">For someone who represents the best of humanity, his is a
remarkable story. Kalyanasundaram was born and brought up in Melakaruvelangulam
village, of Nangunari taluk in Tirunelveli district. "There were only 30
houses then. No roads, no buses, no school, no electricity, not even a petty
shop. I studied in the light of a kerosene lamp or by candlelight till I was
about ten years old," he says. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kalyanasundaram lost his father when he was only one year
old. After completing school, he was determined to pursue a B.A degree with
Tamil as the main subject. As he was the only student for the course at St.
Xavier's College, Tirunelveli, the college management persuaded him to take up
another subject, but he refused. Impressed by the youngster's determination to
study Tamil, Karumuttu Thygaraja Chettiar, the founder of MTT Hindu College,
had no hesitation admitting him to the course he wanted. Karumuttu Chettiar
also bore the youngster's study expenses. "Those days I can never forget,
especially the Chettiar's munificence," recalls Kalyanasundaram. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The turning point in his life came when he was doing library
science at the Madras University. That was when the Indo-China War was on.
"I was listening to Nehru on the radio requesting us to contribute to the
defence fund. Immediately, I went to Chief Minister Kamaraj and gave him my
gold chain. I was probably the first student to have done such a thing,"
he says with pride in his eyes. Kamaraj was so impressed by the gesture that he
felicitated the youngster at a special function on May Day that year (1963). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Another incident that Kalyanasundaram remembers vividly is
his encounter with the then sub-editor of Ananda Vikatan. "It was he who
told me that I would do well as a social worker, while engaging in some plain
speaking on public service... But I decided I needed no publicity." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">He later joined Kumarkarupa Arts College in Tuticorin as
librarian and spent 35 years there, even while doing his social work. He
donated the money he got from the sale of his ancestral property to the poor.
An amount of Rs. one lakh that Kalyansundaram received as salary arrears, he promptly
gave to the district collector to be used for orphans. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">For 45 years, Kalyanasundaram's social work focussed on
children. However, in 1998, after retirement, he decided to expand his service
and, thus, Paalam was born. One of the first things he did was to direct the
money he received as retirement benefit to social cause. Paalam serves as the
link between donors and beneficiaries. Assistance is not only monetary.
Children are helped in pursuing education, medical attention is provided to the
needy, blood donation camps are organised and blood samples are reached to
hospitals during emergencies, the unemployed, elderly, sick and handicapped are
rehabilitated, and free counselling is provided. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">"We work on the principle of gaining everybody's
support. That is the reason why membership costs just a rupee a month (life
membership is Rs.100). We take about anything used or unused - old newspapers,
clothes and utensils - and reach these to people in need. We are sort of a
bridge between donors and beneficiaries," states Kalyanasundaram. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Paalam has also taken active part in relief work during
cyclones and earthquakes that have struck various parts of India. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">People trust Paalam because of Kalyanasundaram and what he
stands for. "I have slept on pavements and railway platforms to find out
what it is like to be poor, without a roof over your head," he says,
joyfully recounting an instance of his students running up to him to tell him
that they had spotted his look-alike sleeping on a railway platform. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">"I am a bachelor and my personal needs are meagre. I am
able to manage doing odd jobs in a hotel or a laundry. I simply do not wish to
own anything. In fact, one of my happiest moments was when, after being chosen
as the `Man of the Millennium' by an American organisation, I donated the
entire amount of Rs. 30 crores I received towards charity. Everything is,
therefore, a state of mind. Finally, what do we take with us when we leave
planet earth?" Kalyanasundaram wonders aloud! </span></div>

<div class="body">
The story of Nikita Hari from Pazhankavu in Vadakara is 
an inspiration to many. Nikita, born to a small-scale industrialist, 
aspired big and reached there with hard work and determination. On 
Thursday, she will fly to London to take up her chosen calling.</div>
<div class="body">
Ms.
 Nikita is the only Indian candidate who has qualified for research in 
Cambridge University, U.K. this year. An electronics and instrumentation
 engineer from CUSAT who completed her postgraduation from the SRM 
University in Chennai, Nikita was working as a lecturer at the National 
Institute of Technology, Kozhikode, when she applied for research 
abroad. Her brilliant academic background got her admission into Harvard
 and Oxford Universities and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 
besides Cambridge. But she chose the latter for the better functioning 
department of Electronics there along with the chance to work under the 
Head of the Department. To top it all, the university granted her a 
scholarship of Rs.50 lakh, which would cover half her fee. </div>
<div class="body">
The
 research topic Nikita had selected was to develop instruments that 
would reduce transmission loss while connecting non-conventional energy 
sources to electric grids. She aspires to become a scientist and in 
future help, inspire, and promote girls who are bright, but economically
 backward, to take up scientific research. </div>
<div class="body">
A big fan
 of Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs, Nikita is the daughter of Haridas, 
who own Intec Industries in Vadakara and Geetha. Nikita was accorded a 
warm send-off and felicitation by the local people of Pazhankavu as well
 as many organisations recently.</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Impulse took stages
for the very first time on August 10, 2008, with the humble beginnings as an
intramedical college competition, and from its successful shows in 2009, 2010,
2011 and 2102 rose to a Zonal Level Competition.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The rules seem pretty simple, every team consists of at
least 2 participants, who can be an undergraduate MBBS up to the rank of CRRI.
While the participants are required to carry their ID cards for verification
purposes, every team goes through a Prelims in order to enlist teams for the
semi-finals.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The winners walked with handsome prizes, the winner received
a cash prize of Rs. 15,000 and a speed scholarship, with the first runner up
getting a cash amount of Rs. 10,000 along with a speed scholarship while the
second runner up was awarded with a cash prize of Rs. 7,500 with a speed
scholarship.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Also, as part
pre-event competitions, Impulse'13 also conducted a poster and slogan
competition on the 16th of August. Calling for posters on the theme, prevention
of non-communicable diseases and slogans on the theme of organ donation.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

archaic and often repeated saying: United we stand and divided we fall. Simple
may be its meaning, but the magic created when hands joined and hearts pounded
in symphony was purely breathtaking, such is the feeling and the ecstasy that
the participants express.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The fourth edition of ICMO organized by Mr. Unni Krishnan
CEO of "Excel HR Facilitations and Services Pvt. Ltd" went off with a
flying start. This year was SRM's debut performance. It was held on 2nd Feb,
2013 at the YMCA grounds, Nandanam, Chennai.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was a great exciting experience for the staff and faculty
who were participating in a sports event with executives and managers who were
their fellow competitors. "Josh "an inter-departmental cultural had
set the spark.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">More than 30 staff members from SRM vied for a track and
field events, competing with veterans from corporate like Lanson Toyota,
Accenture, Ashok Leyland, Blue Dart to name a few and did leave a mark. There
were many track and field events both in the individual and group category, fun
events were for teams only.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The general comradeship among the staff whose main purpose
was to compete in all events and bring home the glory. This was more easily
achieved than what any inter-departmental meeting would have possibly achieved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">All the participants who competed in events brought glory by
being placed first, second or third. SRM won 61 medals. They also won the best
mascot prize. They cheered and motivated the team. Winning so many medals for
the debut participation they resolved to pick up the ICMO champion award next
year. Team trophies ear-marked were for: Best Cheering team, Best Mascot, Best
March Past and Best Colours.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">SRM team was placed as runner-ups to the winners Accenture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">For a debut performance with less time for practice, SRMites
have made a mark and having gotten an idea, will definitely bring home the
trophy next year. Our staff knows now each other's strengths and will look
forward to working as a team in the coming years. As the program motto was of
uniting the company under one flag, help bonding among the company staff
wherein the take home is not just prizes and medals, but the spirit of being
one and needing to soar, this was achieved remarkably among our SRMites.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The management's unstinting support for faculty and staff enhancement
in all facets of their lives is commendable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dr .N. Ponnavaikko, Vice chancellor was delighted to learn
our SRM non teaching staff and few faculty members were so competitive and
moved to new levels of competitiveness.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">InfySEC’s E-Hack was a phenomenal workshop aimed at
educating people on hacking and cyber threats.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">InfySEC, which specialises in training and consulting on
information security, hosted E-Hack, the world’s largest ethical hacking event
at SRM University.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Vinod Senthil, director and chief technical officer at
InfySEC, commented on why events like these are important. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“If there is going to be a World War III ever, it is likely
to be about computers, data and networks. It is our responsibility to let the
end-users know about day-to-day attacks and suggest ways to protect against
cyber threats. The best way to do this with the highest impact is to conduct a
pan Indian workshop such as E-Hack,” he says. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Packed with almost 9,000 people, there was barely enough
space for the organisers to sneak past the tight security. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Apart from those who travelled from places like Shimla and
Uttar Pradesh, nearly two lakh viewers saw the event through the live webcast.
InfySEC conducted E-Hack x10ded in other locations around the world, including
the Rotary Club of Mysore and the University of California, Berkeley. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">By roping in eminent speakers to address the audience
(Karthikeyan Murugesan, founder of Zazvik Solutions; Santhosh Srinivasan,
director of Symantec; Patrick Martinent, a Google developer expert, among
others), conducting workshops, and offering attractive prizes for various contests,
the Chennai-based ethical hacking company ensured that its participants got the
most out of this experience.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Though the event itself was aimed at “educating and taking a
less known field to the masses,” the event got its fair share of recognition.
E-Hack left its mark in the Asia Book of Records, the Indian Book of Records as
well as the Tamil Nadu Book of Records. “This shows that we are moving in the
right path in our efforts to educate the end users,” says Vinod.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Organising something on the scale of E-Hack could not have
come without its own set of hurdles. “Our biggest problem was finding a venue.
For an auditorium, we were talking in numbers that are multiples of 10,000,”
says Vinod. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“We also faced issues online with regard to the bandwidth,
network usage and computer process usage despite using prominent cloud
providers for our vulnerable applications.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">With an event of this size and innovation, it is difficult
to pinpoint a USP. While the organising team hopes that it is the learning that
participants took away at the end of the day, the contestants differ.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“I have been to a few hackathons before but they had only
between 50 and 100 people. It is a completely enriching feeling to be
surrounded by other geeks who are thinking about technology as much as you,”
says Gopi Haran, a participant. InfySEC’s E-Hack managed to draw crowds from
all around the world and unite them for a single objective — to be inquisitive
about securing ourselves and to empower ourselves against potential cyber vulnerability.</span></div>

Under the aegis of the university, the Tamil Academy is engaged in the development of Tamil language, literature, arts and research. It provides online education in Tamil language, Tamil religious studies and various other diploma programmes and book-publishing opportunities as well. Every year, the academy  distributes awards worth `20 lakh to scholarly works under 11 categories such as fiction, essay collection, children’s literature and research.<br />
This year, under the category of ‘Pudhumaippithan Fiction Literature Award’ and ‘Bharathiar Poetry Award’, 111 books each were recommended for awards. Under ‘Azha Valliappa Children Literature’ category, there were 88 books, ‘G U Pope Translation Literature’—28 books, ‘Pe Na Appusamy Science Literature’—29 books, ‘Anandakumarasamy Fine Arts Literature’—8 books and ‘Muthuthandavar Thamizhisai Award’ category—8 books that were recommended.<br />
Under the ‘Developmental Tamil Award category’, 18 books and in ‘Vibulanandar Fiction Literature Award’ category, 35 books were recommended.<br />
Addressing reporters, Ponnavaiko said that the selection procedure involved a number of steps. After three to four rounds of assessment, which is done by scholars belonging to the respective fields, the final list is prepared.<br />
Besides awarding the erudite literary works, the academy also presents awards to two Tamil scholars — ‘Parithimaar Kalaingnar’ and ‘Paarivendhar Painthamizh Award’. This year, 30 and 32 scholars were recommended for these awards respectively and Kovai Gnani and Thamizhannal were chosen.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The University Rover Challenge is a Mars Society-organized robotics competition for college students who design and build the next generation mars rovers that have the potential to work alongside human explorers in the field.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The annual competition is held at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) near Hanksville, Utah. This year, 2013 URC was won by the third two-time champion from Poland, the Hyperion Team of Bialystok University of Technology, who finished off with a record of 490 points, outsourcing the nearest competitor by 91 points. The year 2013 saw the highest ever number of registrants, as many as 15 teams, representing different Universities across the US and Europe, and the first ever Asian team from SRM University, India with their prototype of the rover, 'Rudra.'</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The rover is judged in the four competition tasks, the sample return task, astronaut assistance task, terrain traversing task, presentation task. The terrain traversing task, a new event for 2013, provided the most excitement for teams and judges alike. Rovers had to race across a variety of terrain through a series of five gates. After starting with a pass through soft, sandy ground to Gate 1, through Gate 2. Another rocky pass through Gate 3 lead to increasingly steep climbs through the fourth and fifth gates. While several teams made the climb to Gate 4, most lost traction and slid down the steep hillside. Only Hyperion's rover was able to climb through the final gate during the competition.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> While team SRM wasn't really successful in passing through all the Gates, it surely did impress the judges in the sample return task with their analytical skills. Before travelling to the United States, the team calibrated their equipment using soil samples from extreme locations from India." The techniques," says, Naren GK, a final year Biotechnology student on the team, "that we employed in detecting the signs of life, the use of laser-induced fluorescent imaging methods to detect cyanobacteria, seemed to have impressed the panel."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Teams are allowed to operate their rovers from designated command and control stations, where a team is involved with controlling the rover through wireless communications methods, as the rover runs in an MDRS field site located in the desert of southern Utah.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> While the 36-kg Rudra seemed to have given the team an advantage in terms of its stability, power capacity and its terrain traversing abilities what it seemed to lack was the design, fabrication and lack of equipments on the rover and on the communications centre. Jagadeesh RB, a Computer Science engineering student, who's in charge of the communication with the rover hopes to the WPC grants them permission for certain fabrications that are needed for the better performance of the rover on the field.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The team is currently recruiting students from various departments of SRM University for next year's competition.</span></div>
