ELCOT STUDENT LAPTOP SCHEME

2008-12-29T11:42:00.000+05:30

ELCOT'S STUDENT LAPTOP SCHEME 2008

ELCOT is a fully owned company of Government of Tamil Nadu. One of the primary roles of ELCOT is to bring down Digital Divide in Tamil Nadu. In its role as IT Product Procurement Agency for the Government, ELCOT has managed to bring down the prices of IT products with the help of volume purchases coupled with transparency in procurement and timely payment. Currently, ELCOT holds the record of procuring Computers at the lowest price in the world. Similarly, ELCOT has also been procuring commercial grade Laptop Computers at highly discounted prices. These Laptop Computers are guaranteed to perform for a minimum of three year period. During three year period any component failure is replaced except the battery. ELCOT procures such Laptop Computers only after carrying out a series of tests. The notable tests are fire walk and Linux compatibility tests. The fire walk test is a special test carried out by ELCOT to ascertain the ruggedness of the Laptop. In this case, the Laptop Computers are placed on a hard floor and persons weighing 80 kgs and above are made to walk on the Laptop Computers. Only those Laptop Computers which clear this test without any damage are allowed to participate in the price bid. Similarly, ELCOT carries out extensive Linux compatibility test with Redhat and Suse Linux. Unless the Laptop Computer works fully under these two Linux distribution environments, they are not allowed to reach the price bid stage. Hence, the Laptop Computers that are being procured by ELCOT are rugged and are compatible for multiple operating systems, notably the most popular and stable Operating System - Linux.

ELCOT has been implementing Linux Operating System in all its operations during the past two years and found it to be absolutely stable and reliable. Currently, ELCOT supplies all its hardware under Linux platform only. ELCOT encourages its buyers to procure the Laptop Computers only with the pre-loaded Linux Operating System. However, ELCOT also realises the need of the student community to test other operating systems. Hence, ELCOT pre-loads all the Desktop and Laptop computers with a virtualisation software called "Virtual Box". Virtual box software provides an exciting opportunity to install multiple operating systems within Linux. There is no need to reboot the system to either install a new operating sytem or work with multiple operating systems at the same time.

The current Student Laptop Project is aimed at providing 100,000 Laptop Computers to the students studying in Colleges and Schools in Tamil Nadu. Educational institutions, including Deemed Universities can also avail this facility. ELCOT has identified one multinational brand Laptop manufacturer through open tender floated for this project. These laptop computers come with three year comprehensive international warranty (except Battery). Hence, the students who travel abroad after completing their studies will have no difficulty in getting warranty services wherever they go.

Preloaded licensed operating system:

The Student laptops come with state of the art Suse Linux Enterprise Edition 10.1 operating system preloaded. This operating System has been tested to host multiple operating systems without reboot using a free virtualisation software called 'virtual box'. The student laptop has been tested for various parameters, starting from dual display to other parameters such as compatibility for various printers and peripherals. Unlike Microsoft Windows, the user need not look for driver CD in the case of Linux as all these drivers are pre-installed in the operating system. The burden of the user is completely relieved. On its part, ELCOT tests each and every peripheral for Linux compatibility. All these special drivers are preloaded in the system. ELCOT adopts a lengthy procedure before releasing the first master laptop image for creating multiple copies. As this laptop had already undergone the full tests through a marathon 5 week process, the time factor associated with the rolling out of the first image has already been taken care of.

Microsoft's offer and the current stage of negotiations:

ELCOT had asked Microsoft to supply its operating system for Rs.500 ($12). But Microsoft offered a bundled version of its operating system, office suite and anti virus software for Rs.2500 ($57). This is not acceptable for ELCOT as this was an academic edition. ELCOT does not accept the marketing concept called 'academic edition'. There can be only one price for ELCOT to market a product. Academic edition concept goes against this principle. Again, Microsoft has bundled its offer. ELCOT believes in openness. Any such bundling could result in serious exploitation of the consumer. This could be considered an anti-consumer move. ELCOT cannot support an anti consumer move. Hence ELCOT asked Microsoft to debundle its offer.

Microsoft India is yet to provide the revised offer (Rs.500 for its operating system and debundling its current offer to fix the price of its office suite and anti virus software). Once we receive Microsoft's revised offer which is acceptable to ELCOT, we would get back to you with our offer for Microsoft products.

ELCOT recommends ONLY Suse Linux and Ubuntu Operating Systems:

ELCOT has been using Suse Linux and Ubuntu Linux operating systems on its desktop and laptop computers numbering over 2000 during the past two years and found them far superior as compared to other operating systems, notably the Microsoft Operating System. None of ELCOT's systems has been down for servicing due to OS fault or virus fault in the last 2 years, thanks to the Linux operating system. ELCOT has not deployed any anti virus software in its systems as Linux OS cannot be infected by computer viruses.

We have configured the student laptop computers with a bundle of software packages, making it a valuable prize for the student community. Java/JSP/J2EE/C++ etc software development can be commenced without any additional configuration. It also comes with Mozilla Thunderbird mail client (MD, ELCOT uses Mozilla Thunderbird mail client only).

Virtual Box - a virtual hardware platform within Linux

Virtual Box software is pre loaded in ELCOT's Student Laptops. (Thanks to Sun Micro system for offering this beautiful software free of cost)

Those who wish to have the experience of Microsoft Windows Operating system can install the Microsoft OS through the Virtual Box software. It is a three step simple procedure. ELCOT has preloaded a video tutorial on how to use the Virtual Box software to help the young student users. ELCOT provides free unlimited support for the Virtual Box Software. The free support can be had through e-mail or in person. All the Branches of ELCOT have been provided with Linux Certified professionals and hence they would provide the necessary support for not only using Virtual Box software but any other Linux issues as well.

Virtual Box opens up a new area of research and development whereby the students can test/evaluate multiple operating systems within one box. After the test is over, they can delete the unwanted/unnecessary operating systems simply by pressing the Delete button. Re installation of Operating System within the virtual box can be done at any time later.

ELCOT had found out that there is absolutely no performance degradation while using the new (subordinate) operating system from within Linux. Just by pressing Right Control Button + F key, the user is able to maximize the window of the new operating system installed within Virtual Box. By clicking at the same keys, the new operating system can be minimized or the window resized and the user can go back to Linux window and work with Linux OS. So, the new operating system installed using Virtual Box software is just a window within Linux operating system. It can be minimized/maximized and can be shut down without shutting down the Linux OS! The users can install and work with multiple operating systems at the same time, say Windows XP, Windows Vista, other Linux distros, Win-95/98/ME/ etc within the same Virtual box. Virtual Box is indeed a magic box! It is an exciting experience working with Virtual Box software and we chose to give this excitement to the student community in Tamil Nadu.

The users can happily enjoy the stability and safety of the Linux operating system if new operating systems are installed within Linux using Virtual Box software. As Linux is free from viruses, the new operating systems installed within Virtual Box software can enjoy certain advantages as viruses are fire walled by the Linux OS. But ELCOT cannot guarantee for the safety of the Microsoft Operating system installed within Virtual Box as computer viruses could still attack Microsoft OS.

To sum it up:

ELCOT recommends ONLY Linux operating system for the Student Laptops.you tube video on ORCA) Currently ELCOT's student laptops come preloaded with Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.1 with one year subscription. For visually challenged students ELCOT would load Ubuntu Linux OS with ORCA accessibility software, a speech software that enables visually challenged persons to install operating system, software and administer servers and desktops without sighted people assistance. (Watch

Do you need more than one year subscription service?

Linux operating system does not need subscription services for upgrades or security patches. Linux OS does not attract viruses nor does it have security holes. So, the concept of annual subscription is alien to Linux, especially for the home users and desktop users. For corporate, annual subscription may be helpful as they are accustomed to such subscription services and they feel at loss without one.

Annual Subscription for ELCOT's Systems?

ELCOT has not entered into any annual subscription agreement for linux OS support. In the last two years, the need for support had come down to less than 0.5% as compared to the erstwhile Microsoft OS environment. So, no case had been made out for such subscription services. (ELCOT migrated to Linux OS successfully all its operations two years ago). On special requests, ELCOT may install more Linux distros on these laptops.

Price:
ELCOT expected a price of Rs.21-24000 for two types of configuration. Unfortunately, there is a dollar appreciation, from Rs.39 a dollar to Rs.44 now. There has been a general price hike due to the oil price hike. As a result, the manufacturers could not bring down the price to ELCOT's expected level. After protracted negotiations, ELCOT managed to get minor discounts. By altering the configuration, ELCOT has provided two choices to the end users, a fully loaded configuration and a slightly lower configuration.

We are unable to look at unbranded laptops as we are not sure about their performance. ELCOT, as a fully owned company of Government of Tamil Nadu cannot be a party to supply of poor quality products.

In the above circumstances we appeal to the student community to bear with the current price. We promise that we would come back with better offers in the years to come. Our aim is to bring down the cost of a fully loaded COMMERCIAL grade laptop to less than Rs.20,000, thus enabling the corporate and the Government alike to migrate to laptops from desktops thus saving electricity cost/consumption by 60-70%

Global Handwashing Day

2008-10-17T18:25:00.002+05:30

he practice of handwashing with soap tops the international hygiene agenda this year with the first-ever Global Handwashing Day, slated for Wednesday 15 October 2008. With 2008 as the UN International Year of Sanitation, the Global Handwashing Day will echo and reinforce its call for improved hygiene practices.

The agencies leading the Global Handwashing Day efforts are part of the Global PPPHW and include (but are not limited to) the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP/World Bank), UNICEF, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), USAID through the Hygiene Improvement Project (HIP), Procter and Gamble and Unilever.

The guiding vision of Global Handwashing Day is a local and global culture of handwashing with soap. Although people around the world wash their hands with water, very few wash their hands with soap at the critical occasions.

World Food Day , October 16

2008-10-07T16:46:00.000+05:30

World Food Day
Food and Agriculture Origination proclaimed that October 16 of every year as World Food Day to create awareness of the right for food, need for food, quality of food etc.
Due to poverty in the underdeveloped countries huge number of people die every year. So the intense of the occasion of this day is that everyone in this globe should think of those people who are in poverty and help those through our helping hands because every human deserve the right to food. And also to the developed and developing countries it is their duty to provide the ‘GOOD FOOD’ to all.

Food Quality:
Ultimately, we lack the meaning of this frame; as today we get food contaminated in contaminated form in many occasions. From water to food, everything is contaminated. Even if the food materials are good, making food with contaminated water make it non-edible, which is meaningless.

Duties:
Considering our Indian nation still there are many places which are marked as under poverty. Many people are struggling to get food. So at this moment it is necessary to think of some duties we should render towards our nation.
i) Take care of the poor people in your locality. For some functions call those and serve them.
ii) “Eat whatever you take, but Don’t waste what you take”- Let’s keep this as the mantra of this Years theme.
iii) Many quintals of food grains go waste from the country Godowns due to the lack of preventive and safety handling measures. Mostly due to the insects and animals like rats. Also while transporting many spillings go waste. So, careful transport mechanisms should be handled. If this is controlled then the controlled portion can be donated to the people living in poverty.
iv) From the cultivation point of view, the food organization should recommend the farmers to use the natural fertilizers like bio-fertilizers only. Because today’s artificial fertilizers aim at good yield but they leave the land infertility due to the concentration of chemicals. Also the underground water gets contaminated.

So if we are careful at Agriculture, Transport and Usage perspectives we can fight Poverty and delete that word from passing to next generation.

Groupe Sup de co Montpellier, France

The International Exchange Programme between CUSAT and Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier initiated in June 1999 is a glowing example of innovation in student exchange opportunities. It provides for a Double Degree award programme. Students of Sup de co Montpellier who complete the fourth under graduate year and who have been awarded the B.Sc.M (Bachelor of Business Sciences) degree at Sup de co Montpellier are admitted to the final year of the MBA programme of CUSAT and on successful completion, they are awarded both the MBA of CUSAT and the DESCM of Sup de Co Montpellier, France. Similarly, students from CUSAT who complete all programme requirements of the first year of the MBA programme are admitted to the full academic final year of Sup de Co Montpellier and on successful completion are awarded the DESCM of Sup de Co Montpellier and the MBA of CUSAT. Operational logistics and modalities find expression in the MOU signed betwixt the two institutions.

University of Manitoba, Canada

CUSAT entered into an Academic Exchange Agreement with the University of Manitoba, Canada with effect from April 2000. The agreement is intended to promote academic exchange of mutual benefit for their respective institutions and includes the development of mutually beneficial academic programmes , exchange of academic staff for the purpose of teaching and research, reciprocal assistance for visiting academic staff and students, coordination of such activities as joint research, lectures and training, exchange of students, exchange of documentation and research materials of mutual interest etc.

University of Bergen / NERSC, Bergen / NERCI

Consultative deliberations held recently among University of Bergen, Norway, Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Centre (NERSC), Norway, Nansen Environmental Research Centre India (NERCI) and CUSAT have culminated in the establishment of a collaborative tie-up. The four-pronged tie-up is to be coordinated by NERCI and CUSAT through a representative administrative set up. The agreement is evolved to develop cooperative efforts in research and education with focus on environmental, ecological and climate research issues of regional concern, specifically including the development of exchange of visiting scientists/ teaching faculty between the participating institutions. Initiation and development of joint research projects in Marine Sciences, submission of joint projects for funding to national and international agencies, exchange of graduate and under graduate students in Marine Sciences and development of cooperation in the fields of distance education and research programmes in Marine Sciences are the areas of concern.

Kochi University, Japan

CUSAT and the Japanese National University at Kochi, Japan have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for establishing academic cooperation between the two institutions. CUSAT has been accorded the distinctive status of a “Sister University of the Japanese National University”. This would initiate academic links, research collaborations through national and international funding and also exchange of students and academic/administrative staff between the two Universities. Joint Projects/Research Proposals beneficial to the society at large could be submitted to multinational companies for special funding.

Indo-Dutch Programmes under the MHO

Besides the one-to-one academic linkages with overseas institutions, CUSAT has a broad-based, long-term tie up with selected Dutch Universities through the MHO programme of the Government of The Netherlands.
Besides seven independent projects within the framework of this collaboration, a sandwich programme for doctoral studies and a short-term research programme on various aspects of prawn-farming operate between various teaching / administrative units of the University and identified overseas counterparts. The Schools of Environmental Studies, Marine Sciences, RUDAT, ISP and the Departments of AED, DCS, SoE, PS&RT, interact with the Dutch Universities of Delft, Eindhowen and Tilburg as well as with the Cantho University of Vietnam.

University of Bremen, Germany

CUSAT and the University of Bremen, Germany have entered into an agreement of co-operation in order to extend the effective and mutually beneficial co-operation and develop academic and cultural exchange in education, research and other areas.

Educational Destination for International Students

CUSAT welcomes applicants from any part of the globe and offers a package of wide ranging, customized services in addition to superior academic opportunities, unique cultural experiences and a friendly campus environment. Every effort is made to render their academic / cultural transitions as smooth as possible. International students who had chosen to come over to CUSAT have testified that studying at CUSAT had been a stimulating and fulfilling experience. CUSAT is fast emerging as a preferred educational destination for international students. Selected academic programmes of the University even have a definite percentage of seats exclusively reserved for international students (See section on “Foreign students”, p. 95).

Promotion of Indian Higher Education Abroad’ (PIHEAD) Programme

The UGC’s vision for ‘Promotion of Indian Higher Education Abroad’ includes short-term, semester-based ‘Study India Programmes’ for students from developed countries, longer-duration degree programmes in science and technology for students from the developing countries, “Twinning arrangements’, establishment of ‘Education Export Zones’ and international campuses in different countries across the world.

The Study India Programme (SIP)

The Study India Programme (SIP), the first phase of PIHEAD, would offer short-term, semester-based, inter-disciplinary programmes designed to infuse the essence of India and, in particular, of Kerala to the aspiring student from developed countries. The focus would be on Indian art, culture, Gandhian thought, history, philosophy, yoga etc., besides Kerala’s heritage in arts (martial, performing), traditional architecture (vasthuvidya), indigenous medicine (ayurveda, siddha etc.), the famous ‘Kerala Model’ of decentralized planning / developmental initiatives etc.

Studying at CUSAT

The Indian education system lays great emphasis on the ability of the students for independent work. As a student of CUSAT, therefore, you would be encouraged to read widely and deeply into the subject of your choice. Seminars / tutorials provide opportunities for the free exchange of ideas and for the development of teaching skills. Free e-mail and internet facilities are available to all students at their respective Departments. The campus is small enough to keep everything within walking distance, yet large enough to provide tree-lined setting for recreation and relaxation.

Transfer of Credits

All academic programmes of the University are credit and semester-based. Bilateral arrangements could provide for transfer of credits earned to home institutions, if so desired.

Accommodation

Accommodation for international students are available at the “Athithi Bhavan” and / or the University hostels. (See also under “Hostel facilities” and “Off-Campus accommodation” ).

Counselling Service

We are aware of the additional stress that studying and living abroad can bring to you. You could feel much better by availing of the free counselling service (one-to-one counselling or e-mail counselling), details of which are available from the International Student Advisor. Telephone and walk-in counselling facilities are also available.

The State of Kerala

Tucked away along the south-western coast of the Indian sub-continent is the State of Kerala which offers a tryst with harmony. Kerala is an impossibly green fertile strip nestled between the grandeur of the Western Ghats and the opulent beaches of the Arabian Sea. The unmatched beauty of Kerala, rightly christened “God’s Own country”, provides myriad opportunities for escapades into the lap of Mother Nature. The rich cultural heritage of this tiny strip of land steeped in its long history of contact with the outside world coupled with the characteristic “malayalee” warmth has led to the blossoming of lasting relationships that continue to transcend geographical / national confines.

The City of Kochi

Kochi (Cochin) is one of the most beautiful University locations in India — on the coast and surrounded everywhere by a lush green canopy. Kochi, celebrated as the ”Queen of the Arabian Sea” and the commercial capital of the State of Kerala, is the most prominent port city in Southern India and has a hoary tradition of welcoming the foreign visitor as a guest and a friend. The bewitching network of its meandering waterways and the cluster of its islands that offer a peep into its unviolated countryside provide ecstatic bliss.

Kochi is ~ 200 km from Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of the State of Kerala and has excellent local, national and international links by air, rail and road. (Also, see Section on “How to reach CUSAT”).
The urban metropolis of Greater Kochi includes the twin cities of Fort Kochi and Ernakulam and the adjoining towns of Tripunithura, Kalamassery and Alwaye. It has an area of ~88 sq.km. and a population of ~17 lakhs. An efficient bus service network is a boon to the city.

Weather

The weather in Kochi (and Kerala) has no extremes, but is usually humid during the summer months with the temperatures peaking to 30 to 350 C.
Three seasons are recognized :

Pre-monsoon (spring / summer) : January to May
(temperature : 22 – 350 C)
Monsoon : June to September
(temperature : 24 – 290 C)
Post-monsoon : (a semblance of fall /winter) : October to December
(temperature : 24 – 270 C)

Monsoon rains in Kerala are to be seen to be believed. It doesn’t merely rain, it pours ! Average annual rainfall is ~ 300 cm.

Religion

Kochi has a cosmopolitan population all living in wholesome amity and communal harmony. Christian, Hindu and Muslim worship places abound in the vicinity of CUSAT as well as all over the city of Cochin.

Distances to Kochi

Distances and travel times from Indian metros to Cochin

The Director, IRAA, CUSAT, Kochi - 682 022

The academic year at CUSAT commences in July. Applications from international students are required to be received for processing atleast six months in advance.

The International Students Programme (ISP)

The International Students Programme (ISP) of the IRAA unit acts as the cynosure for international students and provides a variety of assistance to prospective/ongoing international students :

Pre-arrival information support on
• all academic programmes and their entry requirements
• application procedures and other formalities
• immigration requirements
• accommodation availabilities
• flight connectivity to Kochi from overseas cities
Meeting and greeting service
A friendly welcome and transfer to the university campus awaits you at the airport (Kochi International Airport) / railway station.
Orientation programmes
Orientation programmes to help international students settle down and get acclimatized to life in Kochi. Included are a welcome reception, assistance in Police registration formalities, opening of Bank accounts, tour of the university campus, and an introduction to health care facilities, Indian culture, social events and life in Kochi.
Assistance in language support
Assistance in arranging English language support programmes as well as additional short-term programmes in Arabic, Japanese, French, German and Russian.
The goals of the ISP are two-fold : to attract more international students to the university and to provide them with efficient, personalized service once they are here. The mission of the ISP is, thus, to help students in all stages of their educational experience.
International Student Adviser (ISA)

International Student Adviser (ISA) of the IRAA is your friend away from your home and seeks to offer advice and help to all international students (and their families) during their life in Kochi. This could involve, among others, liaison with University Departments and officers or with local/public administration. The Advisor would have periodic interactions with the students on all academic/personal matters of concern and would organize weekend social / sight-seeing trips to help reduce stress and to bridge cultural barriers.
Should you have any problems, the ISA would be willing to offer free counselling and / or confidential advice on subjects such as visa, finance, housing etc.
The Adviser would also induct the international students into “Home Away from Home” (HAH) programme whereby each student would be attached and encouraged to visit and stay at an Indian home as non-paying guests during weekends/holidays. This opportunity to live with Indian families and experience real Indian home life is indeed one of the most attractive extras in studying at CUSAT.

Academic Admissions

The IRAA Unit is also bestowed with the onus of conducting the Common Admission Test for admission to the various academic programmes of the University and for organizing the process of centralized admissions to the academic programmes.

Student Support Services

The Student Support Service of the IRAA offers practical / personal advice and information support to prospective and current students on a wide variety of issues — accommodation, finances, programme requirements, international student queries, immigration procedures, application / admission formalities etc.

ADMISSION TO POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT (PGDSCM)

2008-07-29T18:21:00.000+05:30

ADMISSION TO POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT (PGDSCM)

Admission to PGDSCM Course - July 2008 is open now.

Last date to receive applications for admission at CIL, Chennai is July 31st 2008.

CII Institute of Logistics (CIL) in its objective to enhance the competitiveness of the Indian industry and all key sectors of the economy, has initiated courses in skill development and knowledge enhancement for logistics professionals in India.

As a part of this endeavor, CII Institute of Logistics (CIL) has been offering a Diploma and PG Diploma in Supply Chain Management through distance learning since 2004.

The PG Diploma in Supply Chain Management is developed in response to views consistently expressed by Industry practitioners in recent years, based on evolving trends in the Industry. Especially, during the last two decades, manufacturing and service industries were preoccupied mainly with firm-level improvement strategies, such as manufacturing resource planning (MRP II), just-in-time (JIT) systems and business process reengineering (BPR). In recent years, however, the need to improve inter-firm communication and coordination along the supply chain has been realized as the new frontier in improving operations management.

Ever-increasing customer demands on product price, quality, variety, lead-time, and the need to pursue mass customization have forced companies to focus attention not only on internal operations, but also on ensuring coordinated response on the part of the entire supply chain, including suppliers and distributors.

The professionals in this domain require decision tools and are scientifically trained to meet the increasing challenge in the market place. Moreover, the demand for such professionals has also gone up. There is a vast population of such professionals who are not able to spare time for formal education in this domain.

Keeping this in mind, CII Institute of Logistics along with Indian Institute of Materials Management launched this distance-learning program in 2004. This is a 4- semester program, which can be completed in two years. The program has structured content with case studies, exercises and a well-defined evaluation process. The governance system for this course has a policy committee and an education council to drive value. The representatives are drawn from academia and Industry to ensure that the program provides ample opportunities for learning theoretical and conceptual materials, which are validated with Industry experience.

Career Opportunities

The objective of this program is to develop graduates who intend to assume leadership positions in supply chain management and manufacturing & service operations management, and contribute to the competitiveness of firms operating in the global, dynamic, 21st century marketplace. This course is ideally suited for supervisors, junior level executives and middle level managers.

Introduction

The CII - Institute of Logistics is a specialized Center of Excellence in Logistics and Supply Chain Management. The primary objectives of CIL are:

Enhance the competitiveness of the Indian Industry and all the key sectors of the economy, which impacts India's growth through integrated initiatives in supply chain management and logistics domain area; and
Meet the latent need of the industry for specialized services in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, ranging from education to research to consultancy, information services etc.
The Indian Institute of Materials Management (IIMM) - the Knowledge Partner is engaged in education, training, research and consultancy in the field of materials management.
