Aruba Wireless Solutions introduced in IIT
Aruba Networks, the global leader in distributed enterprise networks, today announced the successful deployment of 'Aruba Wireless Solution' in the academic section and workshops in one of the highly renowned institutions of India- Indian Institute of Technology (Delhi). Prior to approaching Aruba Networks, IIT Delhi functioned on a wired network, which started to pose as a challenge when it came to safety and cost effectiveness. Aruba Networks provided the institution with a centralized Wireless LAN solution, a centralized management and authentication for AAA servers, which aimed to deliver stability, performance, security and features like Adaptive Radio Management (ARM). “Mobility is the key word nowadays, as majority of the people have mobile gadgets that need to connect to the Internet through WLAN,” says Shalendra Singh, Country Manager India, Aruba Networks. Aruba Networks, as a part of their Aruba Wireless Solution, had installed 250 access points, providing IIT a centralized WLAN solution with centralized management and authentication from central AAA server. The solution package included AP-61, AP-121 and Aruba 6000 controller. Apart from Aruba, the institution also deployed active PoE switches from Alcatel. The AP-61 is ideal for dense AP deployments where only single-band coverage is desired. The AP-61 is also commonly deployed as an indoor mesh bridge. The AP-121 is a high-speed, multifunction single-radio indoor 802.11a/b/g/n AP with 3×3 MIMO. Offers maximum deployment flexibility for single-band WLAN coverage with multiple antenna options, Ethernet pass-through, mesh and sensor capabilities, or can operate as a Remote AP. Ideal for challenging low-density deployments that require above-ceiling or enclosure-based installations. The Aruba 6000 is the most scalable modular controller available today. Designed for corporate headquarters and large campus-wide deployments, the Aruba 6000 features 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections and is able to aggregate up to 8,192 access points in a single modular chassis. Professor Subhashis Banerjee Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Delhi says, “We had deployed Aruba WLAN solution in our entire campus last year. The solution has been working absolutely trouble-free and we noticed that during peak hours of usage 2000+ users are connected to WLAN network without any problem.” Aruba Networks' WLAN solution has helped the institution in saving cables, switch ports, rack space, power consumption and carbon emission thus reducing deployment cost.

Gandhian non-violence course in Vidyapith
A course on Gandhian non-violence has been launched by Gujarat Vidyapith to cater to international participants who have been trying to understand his philosophy and looking towards institutes in India to get a formal training in Gandhian non-violence. According to the vice-chancellor of Gujarat Vidyapith Dr Sudarshan Iyengar, a course of this kind has been launched after a gap of 13 years; the last batch was in 1998. “Gandhian non-violence has always influenced people across the globe. This course is one step forward in spreading it more systematically,” he added. The course will focus specifically on the non-violence aspect rather than covering general aspects of Gandhian philosophy, which was taught in earlier batches. According to the registrar of Vidyapith, Rajendra Khimani, this four-month course is meant only for international students and it will commence on September 15, 2011. “Vidyapith won't charge any tuition fees from them. They have to just bear the travel costs to India and back. “Local hospitality and internal travel costs will be taken care of by Vidyapith” he said. Course modules will include subjects like defining features of Gandhian non-violence, correlation between truth and non-violence, meaning of non-violence, non-violence as soul force, non-violence as 'the law of our being', non-violence – the moral equivalent of the law of gravitation, principled and strategic non-violence, and more. For better understanding of the Gandhian philosophy of non-violence, participants will be taught theory for two months and then will be taken to Gandhian institutions and ashrams. According to officials of Vidyapith, the first two months of the programme will be held in Gujarat Vidyapith and Kochrab Ashram. Then, they will be taken out to stay in Gandhian institutions like Sampoorna Kranti Vidyalaya at Vedchi, Gujarat, Sewagram Ashram at Wardha, Maharashtra, Institute of Gandhian Studies, Gopuri, Wardha , Lok Bharati Gramvidyapith, Sanosara, Bhavnagar, and others. “Apart from that, participants will visit one naturopathy centre and one organic farming place for 10-15 days” said Iyengar. He also said while the current intake capacity for the course is 15, it may be increased after scrutinising the applications. There will be no end-semester examination. Instead, there will be an open house with a select group of teachers and activists for further clarification.
Punjab govt schools to close admissions, chaos among parents
If you think that the admission scene in private schools is terrible then you are wrong. Not just high-end private schools, but the admission crisis is prevalent in the government schools as well. The Punjab government schools are closing admissions for class XI closes on April 30 and a chaos of sorts has spread with the number of available seats falling short of the demand by a large margin. Applications amounting to twice the number of available seats have been filled. Parents are using recommendation letters from politicians, bureaucrats and VIPs to get their wards through. The admission process is most chaotic at Government Model Senior Secondary School. There are 450 seats up for grabs and around 1700 applications have been drawn. Out of 450, 350 seats will be given to students of the same school and the rest 100 are for outsiders.

AICTE stuns AP colleges with surprise raids
All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is creating ripples all over Andhra by its “surprise raids” in the engineering colleges. Notices were issued to over 100 colleges for various offences like violation of land rules, collection of capitation fee and donations and student cheating. The managements of 106 engineering colleges have been summoned by AICTE to its headquarters in New Delhi on April 21 for their explanations before the 'hearing committee' on the violations detected during the raids. Prominent engineering colleges like Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology (CBIT), Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Technology (MGIT), Sri Nidhi, Gurunanak, Bharat, Sultan-ul-Uloom, Bharat, Aurora and so on figure in the list of colleges which were issued notices by AICTE. While the AICTE has issued notices to some colleges based on the 'deficiencies' detected during its surprise raids, some colleges got notices based on the CBI raids that were conducted following the arrest of then-AICTE member secretary, Mr Narayan Rao, in July 2009 while accepting a bribe of Rs 5 lakh to grant approval for an engineering college. The AICTE has threatened to issue a 'closure notice' to those colleges which fail to provide a satisfactory explanation. Sources in AICTE maintained that the CBIT and MGIT, which figure in the list of top-10 colleges in the state, and both, owned by the same management, violated land norms. It was learnt that the management registered the land in Gandipet in the name of one society, secured approval and later transferred the colleges to another society, but ignored the land transfer, which is considered a major offence as per AICTE norms. Additionally, some parents and students lodged specific complaints against the management with the AICTE, for collecting capitation fee and donations. Also, the Sultan-Ul-Uloom Educational Society, which runs Muffakham Jah Engineering College in Banjara Hills, has not produced valid land documents till now, despite being in operation for several years.
