NPTEL - A Free Online Audio Video CourseWare

NPTEL stands for National Programme on Technical Enhanced Learning.

 Many might be wondering what that is ? Let me tell you its a online Material or a Book which explains almost all of the core Engineering topics in a very clear and concise way. It has Lectures of many subject by  the Professors  of  IITS in audio video format.
The most important fact is that free. Yes, you can access all of online material for free, you only need to have an Internet connection to learn :) .
Why a Initiative like this was really needed ? The answer to this is that  many of us dream to pursue  our B.Tech/ M.Tech / M.s / PH.D from reputed Institues  like IITS but because of the limited seats all of us may not be able to achieve that dream.
So to fill that gap, all the major IITS have come together and they started this initiative and they came up with NPTEL.
Another reason  that can be attributed is that although we have lot of Engineering colleges in the country but are we really able to produce quality engineers that would be able to solve real world problems and most importantly innovate ?  This is because most of the engineers that come of colleges don't have their basics strong and this website tries to  bridge that gap by providing  everyone quality lectures for free.

In my Last Post I spoke to you about how  esevaworld could be used to save your spendings on your expenditure.
For the people who are reading this post for the first time let me tell you that esevaworld.com  is an initiative started by Kedia Group in Andhra Pradesh and any body in the India is applicable to use this service.

The Major advantage of using this service is that you can recharge your phone/pay phone bills/ book movie tickets all very quickly. You might be wondering how is it different from other websites ? there are thousands of websites which allow you to recharge  your phone online but they charge you some extra money.

esevaworld.com doesnot charge more money but it takes only your recharge amount and the most important thing is that it gives you somepercent discount every time you do a transaction. And that is not only on recharging your phone its on every other service provided by  esevaworld.com

In my last post  click here where in I have explained you how esevaworld works it offered you services like recharging your mobile phone, paying your phone bills and paying your cable operator bills but now esevaworld  is allowing you to even book tickets and as expected it gives you some discount on every transaction you make and every transaction your refferal makes.

The company has tied up with bookmyshow.com to facilitate movie booking through esevaworld.com . The only advantage you are going to get is some discount on every movie you book through esevaworld.com.

Plan for future : the Company is planning to add more services like paying incometax, property tax, paying challans and again with each service usage you are going to get some discount on every transaction .

49-O

In general most of us reluctant to vote as we do not feel candidates deserve . Do you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section " 49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone!

Yes such a feature is available, but these leaders have never disclosed it for obvious reasons. This is called "49-O". For more Info about Pan Card heck Here - know your pan, pan card status, pan card

It is suggested to use the facility . Now if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received "49-O" votes more than 123, then that polling will be cancelled and will have to be re-polled.

Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them.
This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way; of our whole political system.it is seemingly surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public....

Please spread this news to as many as you know...
Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India .show your power, expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful than voting.so don't miss your chance. So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O)

and pass this info
on...

Use your voting right for a better INDIA.

10 things to know about Anna Hazare and Jan Lok Pal Bill

This is the Time when all of us need to unite for our country. Please Do read the Last Line of the Post 

 


1. Who is Anna Hazare?
An ex-army man. Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. What's so special about him?
He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. So what?
This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind mills.
In 1975, it used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the richest village in India. It has become a model for self-sustained, eco-friendly & harmonic village.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Ok,...?
This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for his social activities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Really, what is he fighting for?
He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in India.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. How that can be possible?
He is advocating for a Bil, The Jan Lokpal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill), that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians (ministers), beurocrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. It's an entirely new thing right..?
In 1972, the bill was proposed by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan. Since then it has been neglected by the politicians and some are trying to change the bill to suit thier theft (corruption).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Oh.. He is going on a hunger strike for that whole thing of passing a Bill ! How can that be possible in such a short span of time?
The first thing he is asking for is: the government should come forward and announce that the bill is going to be passed.
Next, they make a joint committee to DRAFT the JAN LOKPAL BILL. 50% goverment participation and 50% public participation. Because you cant trust the government entirely for making such a bill which does not suit them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Fine, What will happen when this bill is passed?
A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous charge, say like the Election Commission of India. In each and every state, Lokayukta will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged party to trial in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be punished. Not like, Bofors scam or Bhopal Gas Tragedy case, that has been going for last 25 years without any result.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Putting status message, links, video, changing profile pics.
At least we can support Anna Hazare and the cause for uprooting corruption from India.

At least we can pray for his good health.
