Write blogs and publish on your own website

 Writing a Blog -  Yes, You Can Write 

  It is a general feeling that writing an blog is a difficult task and requires special skill and command over language. Hence, we leave the job to those who write regularly and take pleasure in reading whatever they have written. Even if we disagree with the opinion of author, we express our opinion orally to our friends, but do not attempt to write our impressions, leave apart describing our own ideas and thoughts.


Why this apathy about writing? If asked about it or prompted by somebody to write, we put our excuses like non availability of time or resources. In reality, we are afraid of writing and feel that people will realize our inability of writing or drawbacks in writing style.

There are many psychological hurdles in writing, which prevents majority of people to refrain from writing. Even if one decides to write questions prop up What to write ? and How to write? The best answers I can give to remove these hurdles is Anything and Anyway. Yes, you read it correctly. Write anything and in anyway as you like. Atleast till the time you master the art of writing and train your brain accordingly.

While talking we never ask the questions what to talk and how to talk, but while writing it becomes a formidable task. Why not write whatever you want to talk? Suddenly you become cautious and writing gets obstructed by reasoning.

I have read an effective solution to overcome this hurdle. Just follow the steps as described.

Once you decide to write take paper and pen. Make good writing arrangement. Close the room door not to get disturbed by anybody. Hold the pen in hand. Select left top corner and there you go ! Start writing continuously for ten full minutes. Never stop for a moment in between or otherwise you will be stuck at that point. Our cautious mind would not allow to continue writing. It would start revising, finding errors and alternatives and get completely confused and engrossed with a result of inaction.

While speaking our thoughts are expressed neatly in the language and that flow of thoughts is so rapid that our conscious mind doesn’t get chance to interfere. We can record our speech and write it down later. You will find that quite smooth and consistent.

Next step is to write meaningful and to the point. Once you have overcome the hurdle of writing we can move to ‘What to write?’.

You can practice writing initially just by copying written or printed material. Mere reading is not enough. Writing gives a new experience of words and their arrangement in sentences. You can write well known information about yourself, your liking or place you visited in full sentences. In school days, we have often written essays or created stories from points or broken sentences. Same trick can be applied to write on our focused subject.
Leaned people advocate proper planning followed by systematic writing. However, in my opinion, human mind does not like bounded channels for thought expression. Hence, preferred way is to write whatever you feel and know, in any manner, without any order or restriction. It is very easy to sort it out and rearrange in proper order for final draft.

I remember an episode narrated to me by retired chief engineer Shri. V. H. Kelkar. He told me that they were to prepare and submit regional development plan for Sangli District. In the preamble of report submitted they had written “ But for a lack of sufficient time, the report has become so large. It would have been possible to make it concise if more time and resources were at hand.” Meaning is simple. Making the writing concise and to the point requires more time and thinking.

Now about good writing style. Mere description of places and events do not create the necessary visual impression in the mind of readers. Hence, it is necessary to provide background information, your feelings, thoughts and reflections. While describing events, do not write only the text of speech but give it personality touch as regards his habits, his look and tone of speech. You can add description of the place and surrounding of conversation to paint the scene. It is necessary to mention some minor events and guest appearances of people in the scene , sounds and sensory perceptions even though they may not have further links or aid story flow. In actual experience of event we observe many such things which are not related but that is reality. The same effect has to be achieved by describing event such that reader will be able to visualize the event more effectively. The description should not be mere replica of the event in totality but should be blended with authors feelings and impressions. If you can succeed in this, you would become best writer, no matter, what language you use, style you adopt or words you use.

Finally, you should have a burning desire to tell something to readers or express your opinion or feelings. Writing shall give you a permanent ownership to your thought and creation. With internet, it shall go world over and shall remain accessible to everybody for all time to come.



So? What you decide? Start writing --- become good writer.   Dnyandeep shall publish your articles in a blog site of your own and teach you how to go on writing and posting photos and your memories on that your own free website.Dr. S. V. Ranade, Dnyandeep, Sangli

Tributes to late Dr A. W. Deshpande - a pioneer in Fuzzy Logic

Last week, I had contacted Shri Avinash Sangamnerkar, Walchand Past Student ( 1987 batch) in connection with our plan to start Nagpur branch of Dnyandeep Infotech. When I told him that Dr. N. S. Raman, Dy. Director of NEERI has joined us as director, he informed me about the sad demise of his relative, Dr. Ashok W. Deshpande, Retired Dy. Director of NEERI, Nagpur. 

आमचे मामा (माझा अशोकमामाच) डॉ अशोक वासुदेवराव (A W) देशपांडे यांचे २० मे ला अल्पशा आजारानंतर नागपूरला दुःखद निधन झाले. अगदी अखेरपर्यंत सतत कार्यरत असलेले साक्षात कर्मयोगी व्यक्तिमत्व.त्यावेळी श्री ह्रदयनाथ मंगेशकरांनी मांडलेले आणि माझ्या मनांत खोलवर रुतलेले विचार सहजच आठवले,डोळे पाणावले....आणि श्रीमद्भगवद्गीतेतील अर्जुनाच्या मनातील भगवंताबद्दल भाव व्यक्त करणारा श्लोक मी गुणगुणायला लागलो...

#सखेति मत्वा प्रसभं यदुक्तं हे क्रुष्ण हे यादव हे सखेति।                                
अजानता महिमानं तवेदं मया प्रमादात प्रणयेन वापि।।#      

                            
 कल का इतिहास हमारे सम्मुख घट रहा है,एवं कल के  इतिहासपुरुष प्रत्यक्ष हमारे निकट में अपने स्वधर्म का निर्वहन कर अपना अद्भुत जीवनकाल व्यतित कर रहे है।


हम सामान्य बुद्धि से इस कल के इतिहास को आज का वर्तमान मानकर,समझकर वैसी भूल कतई ना करे,इसमे हमारा सहयोग क्या हो सकता है,इसका हमे अवश्य चिंतन करना चाहिये....    


                       #समझेजानेयेआजका_ वर्तमानकलकाइतिहासहै।#

 सौजन्य - अविनाश संगमनेरकर, बी.ई. सिव्हील ( १९८७), वालचंद माजी विद्यार्थी, नागपूर
 

I was shocked.  I knew him personnaly as he was instrumental in giving Post Graduate Recognition for Environmental Engg. Courses in Walchand College of Engineering. I had no contact with him for last few years and felt very sorry for missing him.

He was  pioneer in development of Fuzzy logic for solving complex multivariate problems not only in Environmental Engineering, but all national and global problems in various fields. 


Prof. Deshpande had a passion and mission to propagate the use of fuzzy logic nationally and internationally. All his doctoral students worked only on fuzzy logic related topics.

Few  years back, I had an occasion to attend  his lecture on Fuzzy logic in our college, where he explained the power of fuzzy logic in decision making when the opinions of many medical experts about the cause of heart attack based on analysis reports vary widely. He gave the example of 24 doctors in Pune giving different dignosis reports on the same test results.  The judgement of each expert is influenced by personal experience of such cases and it is possible to get correct  diagnosis with maximum probability, if fuzzy logic is used for accommodating all opinions with varying impressions.

Dr. Deshpande had over four decades of research and development experience and published 140 research papers.  He was the founding chair of Berkeley Initiative in Soft Computing (BISC)-Special Interest Group (SIG)-Environment Management Systems (EMS). 


He was visiting/guest/adjunct professor at

  • College of Engineering (COEP) Pune. 
  • University of Canberra, Australia
  • University of British Columbia (Kelwona Unit), Canada
  • Essen University, Germany
  • University of California, Berkeley, USA, 
  • NIT Silchar


In the past, Dr. Deshpande was WHO Adviser, Commonwealth Science Council Resource Scientist, World Bank Project Director for the studies on Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Chemical Process industry; also assisted Danish International Development Authority (DANIDA) as a Project Advisor.

He  delivered many invited talks in various universities including University of Maryland, Harvard University, Hope University, University of Aberdeen, University of Newcastle, University of New South Wales, Essen University, Notre Dame University, Tijuana University to name a few.

He has created a ideal role model for environmental engineers to do  research using latest techniques of computing and use the knowledge so gained for solution to problems in other fields and also lead the movement of training and new applications.  

I appeal to all my students of Environmental engineering and our Dnyandeep team to follow his path of constant dedicated work and efforts to disseminate knowledge to the society. 

This will be the real tribute to the great service rendered by late Dr. Deshpande in use of computing skills in engineering and social disciplines.

आत्मनिर्भर भारतासाठी स्वातंत्र्यलढ्यासारखेच समर्पण आवश्यक

 कोरोनाच्या विश्वव्यापी संकटात सारे देश होरपळून निघाले आहेत. भारताची अर्थव्यवस्था ढासळली असून बेरोजगारीचे मोठे संकट देशापुढे उङे ठाकले आहे. अशावेळी प्रगत राष्ट्रातील मोठ्या धनाढ्य कंपन्यांची नजर भारतातील प्रचंड ग्राहक संख्येकडे आकर्षित झाली असून त्यांनी आपले हातपाय पसरवण्यास सुरुवात केली आहे.

शासनासही नाईलाजाने का होईना अशा गुंतवणुकीचे स्वागत करावे लागत आहे. स्वदेशीचा अट्टाहास मागे पडला आहे. परकीय गुंतवणुकीमुळे येथील अर्थव्यवस्थेला चालना मिळत असली तरी त्यामार्गाने येथील पैसाही बाहेर जाण्याचा मार्ग मोकळा होतो हे लक्षात घेतले पाहिजे.

 गुगल, मायक्रोसॉफ्ट, झूम, आयबीएम, इंटेल यासारख्या कंपन्यांनी ऑनलाईन सुविधांद्वारे आपल्या शिक्षण क्षेत्राचा ताबा घेतला असून आता परकीय विद्यापीठांनाही भारतात प्रवेश देण्याचा शासनाने निर्णय घेतला आहे. वस्तुतः परदेशातील विद्यापिठात शिकविणारे आणि शिकणारे बहुतेक दोन्हीही भारत व चीनमधलेच असतात.   आंतरराष्ट्रीय मान्यतेच्या अशा संस्था भारतात आल्या तर येथील संस्थांना त्याची झळ पोहोचणारच आहे.

भारतात आयटी क्षेत्राने आत्तापर्यंत परकीय  चलन मिळवून दिले असले तरी  येथील बौद्धिक संपदा बहुराष्ट्रीय कंपन्यांच्या विकासासाठीच वापरली गेली आणि भारतीय उद्योगांसाठी त्याचा लाभ झाला नाही. ही वस्तुस्थिती आहे. 


भारतात अनेक भाषा बोलल्या जातात. नवयुवकांना इंग्रजी येत असले तरी बहुतेक सर्वसामान्य जनता आपल्या स्थानिक भाषेतच सर्व व्यवहार करतात. त्यांच्यापर्यंत माहिती तंत्रज्ञानाचे शिक्षण पोहोचविण्यासाठी आपण काहीच प्रयत्न केले नाहीत. साहजिकच इंग्रजीचा वरचष्मा आयटी क्षेत्रावर अबाधित राहिला. पर्यायाने शासनदरबारी, शिक्षण क्षेत्रात आणि उच्च तंत्रज्ञानात इंग्रजीस पर्याय राहिला नाही. याचा मुख्य फायदा बहुराष्ट्रीय कंपन्यांनी घेतला. मोठ्या पगाराचे आमिष दाखवून बुद्धीमान तरुणांना आपल्या सैन्यात समाविष्ट करून घेतले आणि भारतात सर्व क्षेत्रात आपली पकड मजबूत केली.

अशा मोठ्या कंपनीत मानाची व आर्थिक लाभाची नोकरी मिळविणे हेच आता येथील तरुणांपुढे एकमेव ध्येय बनले आहे. आयटी तंत्रज्ञानात, मुख्यत्वे आयओटी आणि कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता क्षेत्रात  झालेल्या  प्रगतीमुळे, अशा नोक-या मिळण्याच्या संधीही दिवसेंदिवस झपाट्याने कमी होत आहेत. याचवेळी बेरोजगारीत प्रचंड प्रमाणात वाढ होत आहे.

बहुराष्ट्रीय कंपन्या आपल्या ऑनलाईन जाहिराती व वितरण व्यवस्थेमार्फत देशातील सर्व व्यापार हळूहळू आपल्या हातात घेण्याची शक्यता आहे. भारतीय बॅंका अशा कंपन्यांना हवे तेवढे कर्ज देण्यास पुढे येतात. मात्र छोट्या उद्योगांना कर्ज देताना टाळाटाळ करतात. कर्ज काढून उद्योग नव्याने उभा करणे भारतात अतिशय अवघड गोष्ट आहे कारण येथील व्याजदर १० ते १५ टक्के एवढे जास्त आहेत. उद्योगाला होणारा फायदा क्वचितच १५ टक्क्यांपेक्षा जास्त असतो.   हे असेच चालू राहिले तर छोटे उद्योग बंद पडून देश या कंपन्यांच्या आर्थिक गुलामगिरीत लोटला जाईल अशी भीती वाटते.

शासनाने उद्योगवाढीसाठी अनेक योजना आखल्या असल्या तरी त्याचा फायदा फक्त अगदी थोडे आर्थिक दृष्ट्या सधन वर्गातील तरूण घेऊ शकतात. त्यांनाही अनुभव नसल्याने ब-याच अडचणींना तोंड द्यावे लागते. आपल्या समाजात उद्योजकाकडे बघण्याची दृष्टीदेखील  संशयी असते. शासकीय अधिका-यांची मदत न होता त्यांनाच खूष करावे लागते.

बेरोजगारी जर अशीच वाढत गेली तर त्याची परिणती लुटालूट व हिंसक दंगलीत होऊ शकते. राजकीय पक्ष आपल्या फायद्यासाठी अशा दंगलींना मदत करण्याच्याही घटना घडतात. यामध्ये सार्वजनिक मालमत्तेचे नुकसान आणि गुन्ह्यांचे प्रमाण वाढते.

यावर उपाय म्हणजे सधन, ज्येष्ठ आणि पेन्शन मिळणा-या  निवृत्त व्यक्तींनी बेरोजगार युवकांना हाताशी धरून छोटा उद्योग सुरू करणे. त्यात त्यांच्या अनुभवाचा व आर्थिक मदतीचा फायदा नवतरुणांना मिळेल. त्यांनी तयार केलेल्या वस्तू वा देऊ करीत असलेल्या सेवांना ग्राहक मिळणेही सोपे जाईल. आणि एक छोटा नवा उद्योग जन्माला येईल. नवीन रोपाला किंवा नवजात बालकाला ज्याप्रमाणे आधाराची व मायेची घरज असते त्याप्रमाणे उद्योगालाही या वृद्ध अनुभवी व्यक्तींचे मार्गदर्शन आणि अर्थ साहाय्य मिळाले तर  नवी अर्थक्रांती होईल व आत्मनिर्भर भारताचे स्वप्न साकार होईल.

निवृत्त व्यक्ती आपले पैसे बॅंकेत, फिक्स्ड डिपॉझिट वा शेअरमध्ये गुंतवतो. सध्याची आर्थिक परिस्थिती पहाता यातही मोठा तोटा होण्याची वा पैपे बुडण्याची भीती राहते. यापेक्षा आपल्या ज्ञानाच्या व अनुभवाच्या जोरावर नवयुवकाला मदत केली तर फायद्याची अधिक शक्यता आहे. शिवाय आजारीपणात मदत, मान आणि अपल्या अनुभवाचा कोणाला तरी फायदा झाल्याचे समाधान यांचाही लाभ होतो.

ज्ञानदीप फौंडेशन  अशा नवउद्योगांच्या स्थापनेसाठी व त्यांच्या निकोप वाढीसाठी सर्वतोपरी मदत करण्यास  तयार आहे.  ज्ञानदीप फौंडेशनच्या छत्राखाली असा उद्योग सुरू झाल्यास त्यांना लागणारे मार्गदर्शन, डिजिटल माध्यमातून जाहिरात तसेच वस्तू वितरण प्रणाली वा ग्राहकांशी संपर्क साधण्याचे काम ज्ञानदीपमार्फत केले जाईल. उद्योग स्वतःच्या पायावर उभा राहिला की ज्ञानदीपपासून तो विभक्त होऊन त्याला स्वतंत्रपणे कार्य करता येईल.

२२ ऑगस्ट हा माझ्या पत्नीचा स्मृतीदिन आहे. या वर्षाची गणेश चतुर्थीही त्याच  दिवशी आहे.  या दिवसाचे हे महत्व जाणून मी आमच्या ज्ञानदीपच्या कर्मचा-यांना नवउद्योजक बनविण्याचा प्रारंभ करणार आहे. यापुढे ज्ञानदीपचे  काम याच नवउद्योजकांकडून केले जाईल.

आपणही निदान एका बेरोजगार य़ुवकाला  उद्योग सुरू करण्यास प्रोत्साहन, मार्गदर्शन आणि आर्थिक साहाय्य द्यावे व उद्याच्या समृद्ध आत्मनिर्भर भारताच्या उभारणीत सहभागी व्हावे असे मला वाटते.
- सु. वि. रानडे, ज्ञानदीप, सांगली.

Dnyandeep's appeal to Seniors to invest in Youth

 The corona lockout has stopped the economic growth of the world. In India, the unemployment problem has sky rocketed due to closure of industries and restrictions on travel. This may lead to anarchy and violent protests unless all work relentlessly and collectively to counter this impact on our economy and progress.



There is a more responsibility on seniors and retired people to come forward and support young youth to start business and earn livelihood. Investing in shares and bank deposits is not going to help in near future, as the economy is moving on downward path and chances are that you will loose money.

Instead if the seniors invest their money and employ the young workforce and guide them to build business, it will be benificial to both. You can build a sustainable small business in your field of expertise and knowledge and can find customers easily due to you contacts in local community.

In India, foreign MNCs are entering with huge funds and wish to capture Indian customers. In education field, they have made inroads and already established supremacy in online education.

It is possible that India will face intellectual slavery if we sell our intellect and experience to  further the interests of these MNCs.

On the other hand if professionals, small businesses come together and build a sustainable growth model, we can proect ourselves and move towards Atmanirbhar Bharat.

It is not possible for government to give jobs to all or provide help to start industries to youth without any financial backup and industrial experience oe ability to take financial risk. Our interest rates are very high and new industry and business cannot sustain that load when the profits seldom exceed 15 percent.  Only seniors can take such risk, as any way, they are taking risk in putting money in banks.

Dnyandeep Foundation has decided to motivate such start-ups having combination of senior-juniors and shall provide all necessary help in digital marketing and online training.


For IT sector, Dnyandeep Foundation can give portfolio of work to start with to members who can start free lance work and work through Dnyandeep Foundation, till they come out of initial hurdles and then can start on their own.

At personal level, I have decided to invest my money in this endevor and I am sure many young students will take advantage of this scheme.

I appeal to all seniors and retired persons to spend maximum time for inspiring, training and helping youth, who will build tomorrow's strong Bharat. --- Dr. S. V. Ranade, Dnyandeep Foundation, Sangli

Why Dnyandeep uses Joomla CMS for Website Design


Joomla is an open source comprehensive content management system well suited for large websites. Dnyandeep Infotech adopted it since its beginning in 2005 for developing most of the client and in house websites because of its very distinguishing features.


Salient features

1. It is an Open Source software supported by a large community of developers around the world. All files are viewable and anybody can edit, change or add new files and functionalities.

2. Joomla technology is evolving continuously since its inception in 2005 and has different version as from Joomla 1.0 to currently 3.9
.
 


3. It has a well organised structure. 

Front end for viewers and back end for administration.  

There are four main groups ie. Modules, Plugins, Components and Templates which constitute File structure.  

The Files, Folders are grouped systematically with proper names with descriptive xml file for each folder.

4. The design is based on MVC - Model-View Controller framework with full object oriented coding approach. 

5. Content and program files are separate and stored at different locations. Content is stored in separate dynamic database. 

6. There are many  security features which prevent hacking or malicious code entry in the system.

a. The entire site is run essentially only through one file index.php from front end.
The first line in this file contains   define('_JEXEC', 1); whereas all other program php files have first line as defined('_JEXEC') or die; to check whether the file is outcome of index.php or not.

b. Every folder contains a blank index.html to prevent display of inner contents of the folder even if url of folder is used directly to view details.

c. Sanitisation of form input -  any input from user is first disarmed by removing tags to prevent entry of any virus or malicious javascript code. Form input from users is passed through jimport function which ensures that no html tags, .. or any code defining  words contain in the accepted code.

7. Facility to extend the features by adding and integrating all display and functional features. Use of any language or set of languages on same site is possible.

8. Installation of website, its database and the extensions is very easy.

9. Upgradation of site to new version is easy.

10. With the help of available Joomla extensions and templates, website of any requirement or specific purpose can be built.

11. The website can be made device friendly with responsive design layout and hence can adjust the screen size and rearrange the elements and layout as per the device size.

12. The website can be made SEO compliant  with readable URL.

Dnyandeep has  a lot of experience in developing websites in different Joomla versions in English, Marathi  and Sanskrit over the last decade and is  constantly making  changes in design and functionality as per the requirements of client.

Major web applications developed by Dnyandeep Infotech for  joomla  based websites include

1. Matrimonial search facility
 
2. Bird song directory with searchable audio- images
 
3. Dynamic Form and membership modules with payment gateway
 
4. Technical journals search and PDF download facility based on paid subscriptions
 
5. Advertisement module and management

Dnyandeep Infotech is currently developing modules and components for Joomla website to make the data synchronise seamlessly  with the Android and iOS apps being developed by Dnyandeep.

ज्ञानदीप अटल प्रयोगसंच प्रशिक्षणवर्ग

 आज १५ ऑगस्ट २०२०.  भारताचा स्वातंत्र्यदिनानिमित्त सर्वांना ज्ञानदीपच्या हार्दिक शुभेच्छा.

आजच्या या शुभ मुहुर्तावर  "ज्ञानदीप अटल प्रयोगसंच "  शिकण्यासाठी खास प्रशिक्षण वर्ग सुरू करीत आहे.

 

दुपहरी मे अंधियारा
सूरज परछाई से हारा
अंतर्तम का नेह निचोडॅ
बुझी हुई बाती सुलगाऍ
आओ फिर से दिया जलाऍ

हम पडाव को समझे मंजिल
लक्ष्य हुआ आंखोसे ओझल
वर्तमान के मोहजाल मे -
आने वाला कल न भुलाऍ
आऒ फिरसे दिया जलाये 

------- माजी पंतप्रधान अटलबिहारी वाजपेयी यांचा संदेश...


शिक्षण, समाज व राजकारणाला नवी दिशा देणारे अटलजी आज आपल्यात नाहीत. मात्र त्यांनी आपल्या वरील काव्यातून पुन्हा दीप प्रज्वलित करण्याचा  संदेश शिरोधार्य मानून आपण अटल इनोव्हेशन मिशनच्या कार्यात आपले तन, मन,धन  समर्पण करू या.

पंतप्रधान मा. नरेंद्र मोदी यांनी सुरू केलेल्या " डिजिटल इंडिया" व "मेक इन इंडिया" या महत्वाकांक्षी  प्रकल्पांसाठी भारताला इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स क्षेत्रातील तज्ज्ञ व्यक्तींची गरज लागणार आहे. 

 या विषयासंबंधी सर्वसामान्यांच्या मनात एक  गूढतेचे वलय  असते. रोजच्या जीवनात आपण मोबाईल, रेडिओ, टीव्ही तसेच इतर अनेक इलेक्ट्रॉनिक उपकरणे वापरत असलो तरी त्याचे कार्य कसे चालते वा त्याची कशी रचना केलेली असते याविषयी आपणास काहीच माहिती नसते. इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स हे एक अतिशय अवघड व गुंतागुंतीचे तंत्रज्ञान असून ते मुलांना समजणार नाही या कल्पनेने शालेय स्तरावरील शिक्षणात  या विषयाचा समावेश केलेला नाही असे वाटते.

डिप्लोमा व पदवीस्तरावरील इंजिनिअरिंग अभ्यासक्रमातही या विषयाच्या  थिअरीवर जास्त भर दिला जात असून प्रत्यक्ष स्वतंत्र उपकरण तयार करण्याचे कौशल्य त्यांच्यात निर्माण व्हावे या दृष्टीने फारसे प्रयत्न केले जात नाहीत.साहजिकच इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स हा विषय फक्त अभ्यासाचा विषय ठरतो. 


अमेरिका व इतर विकसित देशात इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स विषयाला शालेय शिक्षणात फार महत्व दिले जाते. हा विषय शिकणे सोपे जावे व त्याचा उपयोग करून विद्यार्थ्यांना विविध प्रकारची दूर संवेदक आणि स्वयंचलित उपकरणे तयार करता यावीत यासाठी "आर्डिनो" व " रासबेरी पाय" सारखी उपयुक्त साधने बाजारात उपलब्ध झाली आहेत.


जे विकसित देशात आज चालू आहे ते भारतातही सुरू व्हावे आणि आपले विद्यार्थी इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्सची उपकरणे तयार करण्यास सक्षम व्हावीत या हेतूने ज्ञानदीप फौंडेशन या बाबतीत इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स छंदवर्गाच्या माध्यमातून या विषयात शिक्षण व संशोधन करण्याचा नवा उपक्रम सुरू करीत आहे.  

खालील चित्रातअटल ज्ञानदीप प्रयोगसंचा जोडण्यांची माहिती दिली आहे.



 

स्क्रॅच व पायथॉन प्रोग्रॅमिंग शिकविण्यासाठी याचा उपयोग करता येतो अनेक व्हिडिओ गेमही बनविता येतात


 रासबेरी पायचे प्रात्यक्षिक  


स्क्रॅच  प्रोग्रॅमची उदाहरणे



माईनक्रॉफ्ट हा लोकप्रिय गेम





प्रत्यक्षात अटल ज्ञानदीप प्रयोगसंचावरील इतर कनेक्शन वापरून विविध इलेक्ट्रॉनिक उपकरणे बनविता येतात.

ज्ञानदीपच्या या अभिनव उपक्रमाचा लाभ घेण्यासाठी शाळांनी ज्ञानदीपशी संपर्क साधावा.

मोबाईलटीव्हीच्या मोहजालात गुरफटले जनमानस

 कोरोनामुळे घरात बसावे लागल्याने सकाळी उठल्यापासून ते रात्री झोपेपर्यंत आज काय नवी बातमी आज काय मेसेज पहात, मालिका, संगीत आणि व्हिडीओ यांचा आस्वाद घेत दिवस कसा जातो हे लक्षातही येत नाही.
आज नक्की कोणता वार हेही विसरले जाते कारण सर्वच दिवस सुट्ठीचे झाले असल्याने कॅलेंडरवर खुणा करूनच दिवसांची मोजदाद करावी लागते.

फेसबुक, व्हॉट्सएप आणि टीव्हीने निदान आपला वेळ आनंदात घालवण्याची सोय केली आहे. मित्रांच्या मेसेज उत्तरे देणे हेही एक महत्वाचे काम बनले आहे. अभिनंदन,  इमोजीवरून हात जोडणे असे सोपे मार्ग मग चोखाळावे लागतात.

काही जणांनी आपल्या मेसेजचा एक सुंदर परिच्छेदच तयार केलेला असतो. त्यातच थोडा बदल करून उत्तर देता येते.

वर्तमानपत्र, मासिक, पुस्तक वाचणे आता कंटाळवाणे आणि नकोसे झाले आहे. सचित्र मासिक चाळायला बरे वाटते पण त्यातील लेखांकडे दुर्लक्षच केले जाते.

वैचारिक साहित्य तर केव्हाच अडगळीत पडले आहे. अभ्यासाची पुस्तके वाचणे देखील विद्यार्थ्यांना नाइलाजाने वाचावी लागत आहेत. त्यांचे क्रीडांगण व व्यायामशाळा बंद असल्याने मोबाईल टीव्ही पाहण्यातच त्यांचाही वेळ जात आहे.

मोबाईल टीव्हीच्या भाऊगर्दीत, सभासमारंभाला वा वाचनालयात जाणे,  कागदावर वा वहीवर लिहिणे वा चित्र काढणे तर केव्हाच बंद झाले आहे.

हे असेच चालू राहिले तर जनमानसाची मती, बुद्धी व कार्यशक्तीच नाहिशी होईल की काय अशी भीती वाटू लागली आहे.
 आता शासनानेच रोज दहा पाने मजकूर लिहिण्याची व पुस्तकाची किमान १०० पाने वाचण्याची सक्ती केली पाहिजे. तसेच स्वहस्ताक्षरात एक पत्र दर आठवड्याला  शासनाकडे पाठवण्याची सूचना दिली पाहिजे.

असे केले तरच आपली मनन, चिंतन करण्याची व लेखनवाचनाची सवय अबाधित राहील.

निदान कोरोनाची स्थानबद्धता संपल्यावर तरी जनता पूर्वीप्रमाणे साहित्यसंस्कृतीत आपल्या कुवतीनुसार भर घालेल.

मराठी उद्योजकांसाठी असणारे शासकीय संकेतस्थळ दुर्लक्षित

 महाराष्ट्र शासनाने राज्यात उद्योग वाढीस लागावेत यासाठी इंटरनेटवर सर्व माहिती प्रसिद्ध करण्याचा चांगला निर्णय घेतला आहे.

मात्र या http://di.maharashtra.gov.in/_layouts/15/DOIStaticSite/Marathi/index.html वेबसाईटचे डिझाईन जुने पुराणे असून त्याच्या नूतनीकरणाकडे तातडीने लक्ष देण्याची गरज आहे.

 

बहुतेक सर्व माहिती न वाचता येईल इतक्या बारीक पुसट अक्षरात आहे. वेबसाईटमध्या शेवटची माहिती घातल्याची तारीख २०१६ दिसते.

राष्ट्रीय स्तरावरील वेबसाईट आकर्षक व मल्टीमिडियाने लक्ष वेधणा-या असताना महाराष्ट्र शासनाची ही वेबसाईट दुर्लक्षित राहिली आहे असे वाटते. उद्योगमित्र यानावाने शोध घेतला तर इतर राज्यांच्या वेबसाईट दिसतात व आपली महाराष्ट्र चेंबरची साईट दिसते मात्र राज्यशासनाची मुख्य वेबसाईट दिसत नाही.

याबाबतीत शासनाने त्वरीत पावले उचलावीत आणि उद्योगात अग्रेसर असणा-या महाराष्ट्राच्या उद्योग  जगतास नवी आधुनिक मोबाईलला अनुकूल अशी वेबसाईट तयार करून घ्यावी असे नम्रपणे सुचवावेसे वाटते.

मराठी वेबसाईटच्या क्षेत्रात अनेक वर्षे कार्य करीत असलेले ज्ञानदीप इन्फोटेक याबाबतीत शासनाला सर्वतोपरी सहकार्य करायला तयार आहे.

Dnyandeep Web Applications for Educational Institutes

The websites of educational institutes in India, generally include typical information like history, departments, faculty, admission procedures and a picture gallery. However, these websites can neither serve the student community as regards their day to day functioning nor can provide effective control for the management over teaching-learning process.

The brochure type websites give cursory information to new students and they can be highly impressed by the education system being implemented by the college, if the web site is equipped with modern web service tools and high interactivity.

Following web modules will be developed by Dnyandeep Infotech Pvt. Ltd. for enhancing  the utility of website and make the web site truly interactive.

1. Site Plan linked Information (SPI) :
Students aspiring for taking admission to engineering college generally refer to the website or printed brochure to select the college. However, very often these do not include map-linked information about the institute. Such facility is generally provided in websites of foreign universities. The location map along with the index plan is necessary for indicating the access route and transport facilities. Infrastructural facilities like main office building, classrooms, hostels, playground and other amenities also should be shown on map with context sensitive information. Inclusion of these features would be very useful in educating the students about the institute infrastructure in an effective manner.

2. Open Access Library :
The search for required book or reference material is the most time consuming and difficult job for the students or teachers. Accessibility of entire database of college library on the net will help students and research workers to get the required material in less time. Moreover, they can reserve the book by submitting the requisition request. The librarian can display new books and ask for suggestions about purchase of books. The library may have textbooks, reference books, magazines, journals, CDs, VCD, DVDs, etc. The facility can be extended by putting abstract, index or content pages for correct choice.
Librarian can monitor the issue of books and can send messages for early return if there are queries by other readers. The college can use this facility for resource generation through supply of photocopied (Xerox) text material from the requested book with annual subscription charges.

3. e-Circular :
The display notice boards do not serve the required function due to various reasons. The vast campus may require many notices at different locations. The target audience may not read them and there is no confirmation that the notice has reached the desired person.

e-Circulars eliminate all these difficulties and provide a very systematic way of storing, categorizing notices and collecting feedback information. It will have login security and multi department feature.

4. Institute Level Private Network Communication (ILPNC) :
ILPNC is a special module envisaged by Dnyandeep after reviewing difficulties and bottlenecks in traditional practices in implementing effective college administration. The conventional communication systems fail to provide effective and timely responses in educational institutes because of large no. of students, numerous departments, various laboratories, different cadres of teachers and administration requirements. The problems further get complicated due to the time targets of admission, examination and evaluation.

Communication Network if properly designed can effectively solve all these difficulties and provide total control on information flow and compilation of data for correct decision making.
The ILPNC system is designed such that the data entry shall be easy and fast by multi user facility, whereas the retrieval of information and summary reports is restricted by access permissions which can be administered centrally by management.

There will be a provision to implement data entry part of the system through intranet if necessary and convenient for any institute but total control is essentially kept through remote web server. In metropolitan cities where students residence and college are distant apart or the students taking admission are from remote areas, this facility shall be very helpful for the students to communicate with the college.

5. Proctor System :
Proctor system is essential for all institutes where students from different places take admissions. In this system, teachers are allotted a group of students for whom they will act as local guardians from the time student gets admitted to the time the student passes the final examination in the institute.

Proctor system gives all information about the students e.g. local and permanent address, performance record and bio-data, social and financial conditions, personal problems and difficulties. Proctor acts as a counselor to student in all matters like local guardian and serves as a link between student and institute. Student shall feel free and relieved to interact with proctor through secured web service and will get assistance to problems like ragging, mishaps, family problems, illness etc.

Provision of such module will enhance confidence of parents in the well being of students in the institute. Module is designed in a way such that, information of student will not be accessible to any other person other than proctor and there is bilateral communication facility between the two. The system also provides facility with password protection for the parents to view the attendance and performance of student and have communication with the proctor.

6. Alumni Website :

If the college has large alumni and there is a separate association registered for alumni then it is advisable that a separate website in the name of alumni should be launched. However, for all other colleges a subsection of Mini Alumni Website in the main site will suffice. This will include the database of past students with search facility, registration form, achievements, feedback, news and list of donors, board of directors and activities of the association if registered.

7. Community Service and Business Development
College can provide a service and consultation platform for interaction with society, industry and professionals to conduct surveys, undertake research projects and provide awareness and education programs by using student resource. This not only will enhance the image of college and serve the community but will provide training and financial help to needy students.

8. Development with participation of Students and Faculty
Dnyandeep Infotech wishes to develop these modules with active participation of faculty and students with the objective of training and for sustainable maintenance and updation capability to institute. This will enable students to learn and start web design business on their own after graduation.

Dnyandeep to assist Digital Facelift of Indian Professional Organizations

I am member of many professional organizations. Though these associations have large membership and are quite active in organizing events like seminars, conferences, workshops and get together, they are observed to be financially very weak with infrastructural facilities and stable administrative staff. These organizations elect their managing boards and the people so elected work in honorary capacity and the organization activities are planned and executed under their leadership with the help of permanent administrative staff.

Though these organizations have noble aims and objectives, there is little effort to make the organization financially stable for future growth. The only way adopted by these organizations for collecting funds is through donations and advertisement/stall bookings at the time of annual conventions or exhibitions. The organizations also have life membership plans rather tha annual subscriptions. The idea behind life membership is to form a corpus fund and run the organization though the interest from such fund.

However, as the cost of products and services rise very fast as compared to constant interest, the organizations cannot provide the services to members from such fund. Naturally the members soon become inactive towards the organization. Those who are office bearers try to increase life membership fee or get new members for strengthening the organization financially. However, this also fails to improve the situation, as the number of active members remains very small.

As these organizations are established with some motive of social service, it is expected that the members would contribute actively for fulfilling the objectives of the organization. Absence of constant association of organization with its members, makes the status of organization as  event maker rather than regular functioning. As a result, the organizations remain dormant for most of the time defeating the very purpose of  forming such organizations.

Fortunately, the digital media has developed many gadgets and tools which can help in keeping live and active interaction  between organization and its members and organization can provide many more value adding services to its members through web portal. These include products/services directory, discussion forum, knowledge database, e-learning solutions, platform for collaborative activities, webinars etc.

Instead of periodic circulation of printed newsletters and journals, the organization can communicate with its members and get their feedback and suggestions on continuous basis. Once all the members start getting these benefits from organization, the website will be visited regularly by its members. This will help in getting revenue by providing opportunity for product and service providers to   advertise on the website and facilities for members to showcase their achievements or information about their business to other members.There can also be provision of online sale of books and other products.

Study of some international  professional organizations revealed that their major income is through digital media in the form of knowledge transfer, education, sale of goods and services and advertisements. These organizations have a strong corporate infra-structure, sound business model for sustainable growth and are ready to expand their activities in India. They have annual membership, which gives them constant source of finance for running their activities.

Unless Indian organizations transform their way of working by making major changes in their administrative setup, membership rules and adopt digital media as the main platform for conducting their activities with self financing ability, they may be superseded by international agencies.

Dnyandeep Infotech Pvt. Ltd. has got an opportunity to associate in such initiative and bold step taken by Indian Water Works Association, Mumbai.

 We are developing webportal of IWWA (http://www.iwwa.info) which will be enhanced in stages to incorporate all features of knowledge sharing, advertisement and e-commerce solutions. We hope that IWWA members will actively support our sincere efforts to make IWWA, financially strong and growing organization with better service to its members and as a leader organization in  Water Sector  . 

We have build a network of young IT technocrats, who are masters in new web design trends and app development in Android and IOS platforms. Myself, Chairman of Dnyandeep Infotech and Dnyandeep Foundation has got a rare opportunity to stay in California on green card status, which may be converted to citizenship previledges in future.

I wish to use my varied experience of 5 decades in Environment, Green Buildings and Information Technology for transforming Indian associations to become compatible with Professional Organisations from advanced countries so that they also can expand and establish their branches in other countries like foreign associations entering Indian client market.

We are ready to undertake such projects on BOT principles also provided we are given long term assignments and freedom to do sell Indian goods and services.

We have now established our branch in Nagpur, a central vibrant place in India and the branch is headed by Dr. N. S. Raman, an international authority in Environmental Impact studies and accreitation. I am sure academic institutes also will join our efforts through Dnyandeep Foundation, which has provided open platform on equal stakes and benifits through such activities.
