quality of the food.
“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and
blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You
may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at
night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love,
you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your
honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for
it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is
the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be
tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting.
Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to
learn.”
― T.H. White,
The technical education system in the country has
grown into a fairly large system in the last decade,
offering opportunities to aspiring students in a wide
variety of disciplines at different levels.
Quality is dynamic concept that needs to be
reviewed and redefined from time to time. We must
collectively work and strive hard to achieve global
standards of technical education. Global standards
are of great relevance, today, especially as India has
a demographic advantage in its favour. However we
need to nurture and carefully strategize to reap the
benefits of our precious human resource.
The shortage of qualified faculty teaching technic in
our institutes has also been an impediment in our
quest to offer education of global standards. In the
light of the existing technical education system in
the country, coupled with our desire to progressively
move towards a “knowledge economy” we urgently
need to identify and map the required skills and
competencies bridging supply and demand in our
human resource via our technical institutes.
I also feel that we need nothing short of a revolution
to convert some of our outstanding institutions from
mere institutions of learning in to institutions of
research and innovation. If we plan systematically, it
could create a robust technical research ecosystem
that feeds into and off industry. I am aware, that in
some of the good institutes, current generation is
globally-networked, focused on research, looking to
solve industry problems, while also not missing
opportunities for patenting. They are driving a deep
transformation within our technical education
system, which could take some time to show impact.
We need to bring more and more institutions of this
category in coming years.
We have taken a step forward to be identified more
like a facilitator and quality promoter, besides
fulfilling our basic mandate of being a regulator. To
conclude, let me reiterate that, in the context of
technical education in our country, we are conscious
and committed to the fact that knowledge is all
about students having access to quality education
and jobs, faculty having access to quality
laboratories, libraries and research facilities, and
industry having access to skilled human resource.

From the Desk of Editor
The Government of Karnataka is
keen on introducing reforms to
improve the quality of Higher
Education in Government Colleges
other educational and academic
institutions of Higher Education,
that are presently a constituent of
one or two Government Educational Institutions and
to build greater linkages between educational
institutions and the Society they serve, more
particularly those located in the rural and semi-urban
areas of the state.
To achieve this objective our government is taking
too many initiatives and spending money. Therefore
it is our mandatory duty to make use of Gnana
Sangama where education and administration related
all information is available for students, stake
holders and public. In this column we would like to
inform all the readers about this in the following
paragraphs and request them to spread this message
to all the students and their parents.
Life Changing Ecosystem: Gnanasangama
Gnana Sangama is an initiative with the vision to
create a better teaching – learning ecosystem and to
form transparent and efficient administration.
Let us tell you how Gnana Sangama benefits
students, colleges, and administrators at all levels:
Online Admission System
Manual admissions are time consuming and man
power intensive.
Whereas, Online Admission System eliminates
creation of separate applications for each institute.
Management of these applications is easy. It is a
Green process. Also, students save money as they
don’t have to apply for admissions in multiple
colleges.
Online Attendance
Touch Laptops in the classrooms are used to take
attendance.
It is quick, accurate and proxy resistant.
Upon login, lecturers, Professors, HODs and guest
faculty are able to check their Time-Table. Students
can also view their attendance details by logging
into their profile.
Various MIS reports gets generated for attendance
monitoring and performance analysis. Also, when a
student is absent an Auto-SMS gets generated for
sending to parents or guardians.
As a result of easy and effective process, more time
is available for teaching!
ICT enabled teaching and learning:
Smart classes are established for delivering
multimedia rich sessions. Each Classroom is
provided with touch screen laptops with various
applications.
Faculty use e-content, also called as ‘assisted
content for teaching’. This assisted content is
prepared with the help of chosen experts of the
Universities in collaboration with education
strategists and multimedia content developers.
Tele-Education
Experts teach using a LIVE and interactive Satellite
technology based teaching platform from the
studios. They use activity based modules, enhanced
with animation and videos.
Live sessions on Skill Building, Communicative
English, Personality and Career Development are
arranged.
Information sharing from industry
experts, Discussions on latest trends in Research and
development are hosted via Tele-Education.
It is also an excellent platform for local talent and
achievers to address the students.
Self-learning
Students are provided with non-assisted content with
recorded videos. With the unique login id, they can
access the content on any device, anywhere,
anytime!
On the Learning Management System, students take
Online Tests and assess their own performance.
They refer question banks, use discussion tools and
other useful applications.
Online Question Bank
Faculties contribute questions in the area of their
expertise to the online question bank: Module wise, topic-wise, difficulty level-wise and skill-wise.
Students explore these different types of questions
for practice and revision.
Online Tests
Using the Internal Test platform, colleges give
structured tests to a batch of students. Faculty
develop test papers with ease, using the Online
Question Bank.
Once tests are taken, performance is measured,
analyzed and viewed online for each student. Thus
faculty can understand their students’ areas of
strengths and weaknesses.
Online Test platform is also used as a practice tool
for competitive examinations like CET, TOEFL,
GRE.
Information Kiosks
Students can be up-to-date on various aspects of
their course, time-table, events, examinations,
scholarships, syllabi and general messages
addressed to them.
A provision for giving feedback by students, faculty
and administrators is also a major functionality of
the kiosks.

Anti-Ragging and Grievances Portals
Anti-Ragging Portal for students and Grievances
Portal for staff are available.
Video conferencing
The setup helps in efficient administration, effective
communication
between
the
Departments,
Universities and colleges.
Digitization of data
A comprehensive Document Management System
and scanning Services are provided to make the
documents digital.
By establishing a digital library, access to freely
available books is provided and 200 existing district
libraries are linked to the Digital Learning Software.
Centralized 24/7 helpline & IVRS system
Any enrolled student can contact the 24X7 helpline
for information on courses, colleges and also for
Career Counselling.
Alumni engagement and donations management
To inform, connect and engage alumni and to
encourage philanthropy a dedicated alumni
engagement portal is provided.
Other benefits to Institutions
At the click of a button, institutes can generate
diverse lists for various purposes.
College wise/district wise/taluk wise/category wise
information is available at any time through the
Online Monitoring System.
Automation of mandatory forms saves a huge
amount of time and efforts. This reduces
correspondence between departments and colleges.
Institutions can book a reservation to use lab or a
special academic infrastructure in other universities
or colleges.
ICT enabled Campus
To implement Gnana Sangama, ICT enabled
campuses are established with:
 VSAT connectivity and satellite receiving equipment
 Wi-fi and local wi-fi across the infrastructure
 Video conferencing facility
 Items such as servers, touch screen laptops, smart class
equipment, modems, projectors, screens, UPS backed
electricity, podiums, and Information Kiosks
 e-content and various applications
We believe that Gnana Sangama which is an
enriched collaboration of technology, processes,
applications and tools with the best minds in the
higher education industry - will bring a radical
transformation over the years!

Swatch Bharath | Print only if necessary | Save Trees | Go Green
Page 15
Gnana Sangama is an initiative with the vision to
create a better teaching – learning ecosystem and to
form transparent and efficient administration.
Let us tell you how Gnana Sangama benefits
students, colleges, and administrators at all levels:
Online Admission System
http://www.gnanasangama.karnataka.gov.in/dceonli
nestudent2016/
Manual admissions are time consuming and
manpower intensive. Whereas, Online Admission
System eliminates creation of separate applications
for each institute. Management of these applications
is easy. It is a Green process. Also, students save
money as they don’t have to apply for admissions in
multiple colleges.
Online Attendance
http://www.gnanasangama.karnataka.gov.in/stud
entattendance/Login.aspx
Touch Laptops in the classrooms are used to take
attendance. It is quick, accurate and proxy resistant.
Upon login, lecturers, Professors, HODs and guest
faculty are able to check their Time-Table. Students
can also view their attendance details by logging
into their profile.
Various MIS reports get generated for attendance
monitoring and performance analysis. Also, when a
student is absent an Auto-SMS gets generated for
sending to parents or guardians.
As a result of easy and effective process, more time
is available for teaching!
ICT enabled Campus
To implement Gnana Sangama, ICT enabled
campuses are established with:
 VSAT connectivity and satellite receiving
equipment
 Wi-fi and local wi-fi across the infrastructure



Video conferencing facility
Items such as servers, touch screen laptops,
smart class equipment, modems, projectors,
screens, UPS backed electricity, podiums,
and Information Kiosks
e-content and various applications
ICT enabled teaching and learning:
