IIT Delhi brightens up south Delhi slum

IIT Delhi brightens up south Delhi slum:

The students of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Delhi will take up the task of illuminating the slums in Munirka, south Delhi through a solar lighting project, an official statement said.

IIT-Delhi is working on the project in collaboration with My Sister Foundation of India, a non-governmental organisation (NGO).

The project titled "Liter of Light" has already provided 55W light to three households in the slums.

"The plastic coke and water bottles are filled with water and suspended from the roof of the house. With the simple concept of refraction of light from denser to rarer medium, the light is generated through the light from the sun," Revant Soni, a student working on the project told IANS.

In the slums, shanties are so close to each other that hardly any sunlight reaches there forcing dwellers to keep the lights on even in daytime.

With these bottles, it helps cut down a lot on the electricity consumption.

The project has been put into implementation following the research undertaken for three months.

"The first three installations were done by the students but now we have explained the procedure of installation to the community members and they would be completing the project," added Soni.

Around 25 students, including volunteers of IIT-Delhi, have worked for the development of the project.

Engineering: Bridging the skill gap

Engineering: Bridging the skill gap:

I work in an engineering company and every year we actively induct hundreds of engineers, across levels, into the organisation. When we take fresh engineers, we invest hugely in their training to ensure the best possible foundation and bridge the gap between their capabilities and our requirements. Today, it appears that India is in a position to produce the number of engineers as demanded by the industry.

This is primarily due to a proliferation of engineering and technological institutes in the private sector which, in turn, has sufficiently augmented the initial investment of the government sector in education. 

From purely a volume perspective, India has nearly four thousand engineering colleges which have an overall annual intake of around 1.2 million students. If numbers were all that mattered, we would not be complaining. Sadly the collective competence represented in these figures is still below par leading to the qualitative imbalance with the demands of the industry.

They say our education system produces talent, which is not industry ready. We need to answer two main questions to understand this better – 1) Why are we in this current state and 2) What corrective actions should we take?

Both the industry and the academic institutions are to be blamed for this qualitative imbalance. The industry has perhaps not taken enough efforts to partner with the academia to design and deliver an industry-ready syllabus.  Furthermore, the industry may not have provided outcome-oriented internships to the students to enable them to understand the practical issues which the industry faces, and also to align their knowledge of engineering to help solve the same.

Academic institutions, on the other hand, have done no better. They seem more driven by the profit motive rather than to serve the needs of industry and society.  Even today the best students prefer to join IITs, NITs and government engineering colleges since these institutions are more focused on education and not driven by other motives.

While all educational institutions should ideally be self sustaining and not subsidised by the government, it is equally important that they also focus on designing and delivering a syllabus which meets the needs of the industry.  This is possible only when the academia is willing to visit industries and partner with them to design and develop their curriculum. 

Sadly, this shortcoming is not restricted to engineering colleges alone.  Even in the best business schools, we hardly have any case studies developed on the Indian industry and the issues we face locally. This again is a perfect example of a lack of partnership at both ends. Neither industry nor academia seems willing to go the extra mile to share and write case studies based on real life problems of the Indian industry.

Both the government and private sector play a critical role in the education arena. Their partnership with industry will further strengthen efforts to achieve common goals.  Admittedly, the road that lies ahead is long and possibly ridden with hurdles. But never before has the journey been so exciting or challenging. For now, we need not bother about the finishing line.

All we need to do is put one step firmly in front of the other as we walk together.
