India is boasting to be the youngest country in this world with more than 70% of its population aged below 35 years, at the same time India has highest number of people who are unemployed. India is manufacturing highest number of confused professionals like engineers, doctors, Chartered accountants, etc. who are just acquiring qualifications for sake of societal and parental pressure. <\/p>
Our country is hoping to see that the young students of India will come to its aid to make it a developed country, forgetting the fact that the demographic dividend is a double edge sword. If we harness it properly, it can pull an entire country out of poverty as it happened with Germany, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, etc.<\/p>
If a country fails to utilise the human resources, the same demographic divided will turn into a frankenstein monster, devouring an entire country. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571139617027","data":"
The million dollar question is how we can solve this problem of demographic explosion. As saying goes \u2018idle man\u2019s brain is devils workshop\u2019, we can rephrase this question as \u2018How we can engage people so that they don\u2019t remain idle?\u2019.<\/p>
National Ideation Day is one such idea that would help India to solve problem of unemployment. Thus, keeping people engaged in some work.<\/p>
How does this National Ideation Day work?<\/p>
We are proposing Govt of India to declare Oct 15th as National Ideation Day, a day entirely for ideating on the problems of India. We chose Oct 15th because it is birth anniversary of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. The man who lived for the idea of developed India until his last breath. He inspired my life a lot and many of my actions have been because of the way he ignited my mind.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571139617028","data":"
The motto of National Ideation day is to involve students from schools, colleges, and universities to ideate on that particular day to find the solutions to the problems that they want to ideate upon.They can divide problems that they want to solve in different categories like Global, National, regional, local etc. It is prerogative of the respective educational institution to ideate on any of these categories. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571139617029","data":"
What will happen with this National Ideation Day?<\/p>
1)National Ideation day will help students to imbibe problem solving attitude.<\/p>
2)In full scale of its implementation, national Ideation day has capacity to involve more than 30 crores of Indian students. The scale of the ideas that we can be produced is simply humongous. <\/p>
3)Even if one idea becomes a Microsoft, Google or an Amazon, it has potential to create jobs in thousands in number in the future.<\/p>
4)The thought of ideation itself will create curiosity among the students to see problems in a different way.<\/p>
5)National Ideation Day will also help to solve the problem of thought poverty because the participants cannot escape from thinking on that day to ideate upon the problems that they have chose to do so.<\/p>
6)Leadership Crises is one of the problems that National Ideation Day is solving because with only a strong idea a person can inspire a tribe to join his movement to realise that idea. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571139617030","data":"
Finally, National Ideation day is everyones day to join, participate, ideate, talk, spread, etc. We are inviting you in this movement realise the dream of Dr.Kalam. It will be a fitting tribute to that great personality who dedicated his entire life to the service of India and who dreamt to see India as a developed country. We can realise his dream through ideation! Are you game?<\/p>
Jai Hind!! <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571139617031","data":"

The fundamental principle of the\u00a0 educational institutions is to provide the students with knowledge and skills which can help him to live economically well in a society. As the former above statement goes, skills play an indispensable role in his\/her betterment. The question arises as to how would one develop these skills? The simple answer would be, through participation. Yet, the practical scenario reflects a conspicuous gap in the number of students who took the initiative to participate in the events.\n\nImprovement must supposedly be a consequence of practice and, practice is only possible through voluntary participation. The students who aren\u2019t inclined to be a part of the events which could help and enhance their various skills in diverse ways are risking their welfare on the stands of ignorance. I couldn\u2019t help but notice the large portion of the total students who aren\u2019t driven to learn by themselves. It is where I would think the institution encounters the difficulty dealing with.\u00a0\n\nAs I had the privilege to offer my perspective of the events, I would say that it the voluntary participation of the students is the most important aspect of the whole learning endeavor. The institutions can fill this void by encouraging the students to partake in various activities and providing them with necessary counseling to help them adopt self interest towards learning. As it goes without saying, self discipline is the root cause of a student's welfare.\u00a0\n\n<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1571120519636}]

A few weeks ago, when I started writing these Monday blogs, I wrote on the importance of travel<\/a> for students. Travel is something that teaches students a lot that just can't be taught in a classroom. These days, the term 'experiential learning' is something that is used a lot in startups, corporates and a lot more but this experiential learning is something that a person can have in a top-notch manner if they travel.<\/p>Having grown up in a middle-class family, for me, travel was something that wasn't easy and as a student, most of my travelling involved me taking part in competitions in other colleges. This brings me to a point I keep telling students, attending fests in colleges in other cities is the easiest way for students to travel. This also makes students take up projects that one wouldn\u2019t normally do, as fests and competitions require one to actually do something.<\/p> I wanted to travel and I knew that old adage, 'where there is a will, there is a way'. Figuring out what it took to travel took some time but because I was good at my subjects and I loved speaking, I took to paper presentations. <\/p>Once I started winning them<\/a>, it became easier for me as my faculty in the college helped me out with the college attendance and after a point, they even started sponsoring my travel. <\/p>A few hours ago, I just landed in Dublin, Ireland to attend an international startup event, where I get to meet potential investors for stuMagz. To put it in simpler words, I now have to do a version of something that I always did when I travelled in college and consistently won - presenting. Now, I have to give a presentation about my company and I have to win it. Winning this will give stuMagz a new investor, bigger opportunities.<\/p>In 2018, I did something similar and launched stuMagz in New Zealand. In 2017, I did something similar in USA and got stuMagz many opportunities. Why do I tell all these things now? All of my travels and all of my opportunities and all of my skills happened solely because of the activities I did when I was a student.<\/p>If you are a student reading this, take every opportunity that the world throws at you and travel. Travel and learn. Travel and explore. Travel and grow. Keep a tab on events happening in colleges all over in platforms like stuMagz and just go take part in them.<\/p>If you have entrepreneurial aspirations, take part in hackathons and other such events where you can explore yourself. Just do it!<\/p>"}]

Have you ever tried testing a razor's sharpness by drawing a keen line on your cheek? or stapling your thumb while PLAYING with a stapler? Ever fell while learning how to drive and lost your way once you started enjoying driving?...Okay, lets grow up... Have you tried something new in your personal field of interest but understood that you've to do a lot better? Trusted someone more than you should? All the questions above are some experiences life gave me since childhood. My curious self couldn't stop me from doing things that were told 'NOT TO DO.' When in a society, all of us are driven by different interests and made up of different principles. While taking decisions at different stages of life, we are surrounded with different advises from different people which further influence and deviate us from our own choice. I've always been a girl who values being independent and responsible for the choices I make. Not denying the fact of listening to people and suggestions, doing what my gut says gives a meaning to my existence and my own self has always been the priority.There are certain truths that occur to us. One cannot learn from others experience and there's no force that can stop one from experiencing something. A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE<\/b> is required to convey things hat can't be put into words, to understand it more vividly.<\/p>
So, here are three cheers to the best teacher I've ever come across and will be meeting as long as there's air to breathe, water to drink and strength to learn new things.<\/p>

July of 2018, classes commence for the first years. I was there standing in front of the octagonal establishment as the banner mentioning passed out and successful alumni stood right in front of me. I wondered, how hard must we be struggling to get there?<\/p>
Contrary to our belief, the first year went smoothly than expected, thanks to the helpful faculty. (A special shout out to the amazing faculty we had because I know it is not easy to be a good teacher, employee, parent all in one).<\/p>
We took our sports hour seriously and bonded over food in canteen. As Vignan is in the outskirts of the city, there was not one day that I have not seen pictures of greenery, the Vignan tree, the hills in the stories my mates posted. It was easier to interact with our seniors because of how they made us feel welcome. By the end of the first semester, we weren't awkward anymore (Ask the Canteen Bhaiyya<\/i> how many onions have been consumed once we got comfortable eating there)<\/p>
This is my 2nd year in Vignan and our Head of Department (Mr. Dinesh Kumar) of ECE is known for the exposure he provides to the students and that way I think we are lucky. My only expectation from the college when I joined was to learn, more than academics it was to learn surviving in a world with wider range of people and to learn from people around me. (I knew Happy Days<\/i> was fiction way earlier in life)<\/p>
And fortunately, in a room full of people, I am not the smartest one and it gives me a lot to learn from others. The fact that I get to learn new things, like handling the pressure, making dumbest mistakes and moving on, empathizing with my mates, having dissimilar views and not letting those affect our relationships on a personal level and so much more is what I think college is about when it comes to building ourselves into not shying from trying to reach for the stars.<\/p>
<\/p>
College has given me space to explore myself and cope up easily if I made mistakes. Right from first year, I have been experimenting on (and making a joke out of) myself. From little things like not fearing to ask stupid doubts in the class to offering to volunteer for organisations I have admired (it is a big deal for a socially awkward people, okay!), I have been putting myself in vulnerable situations and all this has been possible because I knew I will be supported and guided by my mentors, both from college and personal life.<\/span><\/p>First year passed so soon and we are nearing the end of 3rd semester, yet it feels like we have just started our journey. Apart from the silly jokes my buddies crack, I remember the times they spoke of how they want to make it a memorable place for our juniors and how responsible we should be behaving to bring a discipline in the later batches too. (adorable, right?)<\/p>Looking forward to what more Vignan has got to offer us,<\/p>this is another student drowning in a pile of records signing off until next time ;D<\/p><\/p>"}]

Being a non-native of telangana, it was in 2014 that too due to the holiday declared by our school on the event of bathukamma, that I was introduced to this one of the most famous local festival. At that moment I thanked the telangana government, the CM and every single person responsible for giving me that extra holiday. This was bathukamma for me, a mere holiday for about a few years. It is only a year back that I realised the true meaning of bathukamma and today I celebrate it the way it is celebrated by the locals.\n\nI had always been desperate to make the flower pyramid gauramma. I somehow learnt to make it when I visited my friend's place on the eve of bathukamma. I made a small gauramma, though not very perfect, gave me immense pleasure and arose the curiosity to know more about the festival. Especially the song that is sung seemed to be very significant. When I asked them about it, I learnt that the festival signifies the rebirth of all those great women in olden days who performed sati. This is the reason I decided ro celebrate this festival every year. How wonderful would it be if all those who lost their lives due to such a ridiculous evil practise like sati were blessed with rebirth.\nApart from this, the part of the festival that I like the most is that it strengthens the relationship bonds between women. It is so delightful to see women move around the gauramma's singing, and dancing and as well as take part in it. \n\n The significance of the typical song and the typical dance steps followed during bathukamma, still leaves me in a question mark. If anyone knows the significance of the song, 'okesi puvvesi chandamama' please give your views in comments. To conclude, bathukamma is a wonderful festival which every person needs to celebrate and take the pleasure of it.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1570705967345}]
