From Teaching to Self Learning – A Lesson from JKSHIM

Until recently MBA students at JKSHIM were being introduced to ERP through a vendor who represented a major commercial ERP. Teaching was done through classroom sessions. This year we have made a departure in introducing an open ERP through the courses, Enterprise Management I & Enterprise Management II. After the initial introduction to the various modules, student groups were assigned modules and asked to try out various features in their respective modules. The modules were to be filled with students' own hypothetical figures. Their experimentation with the modules were presented to the concerned faculty and fellow students. Having experimented with individual modules, student groups were next asked to look at how the activities of other modules impacted their own modules and visa versa. Such changes too were to be incorporated in the connected modules. This created a ripple effect in learning across different modules. In encouraging experimentation and initiative we shifted the focus from teaching to self-learning. The system of evaluation too had to be changed enitrely. The pace of learning of the various groups differed. Initially what they learned too were different across different groups, However there was a gentle competition between the groups. The faculty found that, not withstanding this competition, there was inter-group teaching and learning taking place. With the next batch of students we expect higher learning curve effects whereby the students embrace greater complexity and are able to use the ERP system even more imaginatively and comprehensively. It is interesting to note that all this was possible because this course had a Seminar format and hence the VTU system of external examiners did not have to be complied with in Enterprise Management I & II.

Vote for Better India - Organized by NSS Cell of NGSM Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences

We must have a genuine concern for members of our society and our country. Social awareness is merely the first step, action and commitment is more important, opined Dr. C. S. Shastry Principal, NGSMIPS at the student awareness program –“Vote for Better India”, organised by the NSS Cell of the college on 8th March 2014 at the NIBF Auditorium. Introducing the guest speaker, Dr. Shastry appreciated the sincere effort of youngsters like Ms. Anusha in creating social awareness among the youth and advised the students to actively partake in such pro-people and pro-nation programs. Ms. Anusha Raghava, the guest speaker from ‘Art of Living’ appealed the students to become more concerned or stop being apathetic to the problems our country is plagued with. She explained that each and every Indian wants a better India but not aware of the ways to achieve this. We are all sick and tired of the corruption, food inflation, deteriorating moral values, crime against women… the list goes on. This situation can change only if youngsters wake up and fight against these evils by actively participating in the process of creating social awareness against these dangerous nation destructive trends and also taking active part in the election to install a strong, non-corrupt government for a better and vibrant India. Elections are an indispensable part of a democracy. Voting is a privilege that our ancestors had to fight hard for. 

If you do not vote, you do not have a right to COMPLAIN. 

• In any constituency, only 54% of the people vote. The winning margin of a party is only often less than a mere 5% which means that 16-20% of all people decide the fate of that entire constituency, and of the country. Your vote can change this. 
• Registering to vote is as important as applying for a college admission or getting a passport.
• More than 80% of the youth between 18-24 years has not registered to vote. 
• Your vote is your VOICE. And your vote is your voice in the parliament. 

The program was ably orchestrated by Dr. Murali Mohan, NSS Coordinator, Nitte University and executed by Mr. Santanu Saha, NSS Program Officer, NGSMIPS assisted by student volunteers of the NSS Cell.
