FORD Outing Chennai MGM - Nov 30, 2011

Upcoming Melvisharam Community Center Proposed

Imran and me went to college to discuss a lot of matter regarding a digital library set-up for CAHCET, also alumni meet. Imran wants to implement KOHA in college library and the discussion took one hour to explain each problem and make the involved party to understand.
When the discussion came for alumni meet, first I proposed a college reunion for the first batch after 10 years. I wanted to fix it on Sept. 17, 2012 because this is the date we met in 2002. I even suggested to get the first two or three junior sets with us. Much of the just passed-out batches are putting a lot of hype to have a alumni meet.
Much of the passed-outs from CAHCET after 2006 is not in a good position and they can't be a good support for the mentorship for the CAHCET students, so the proposed idea is to have the first batch (2002) with optional junior batches.
We discussed a lot of issues what our college is having and how it is not taking care of it, ehy there is no research activity going on, though the colege was started 14 years ago.....Corres Abdul Latheef agreed to assist us in our agenda. The main agenda are to bring Mentorship for students that will enhance to shape their carrer as well as get placement. 
Additionally, we proposed to start a IPR & Research Center in our college campus. We explained the importance of innovation and how that can be patented. How students can be connected to industries to do their projects. About publication of research papers, starting CAHCET journals to publish their own papers, etc.
Infact, the meeting went for more than 3 hours...it was abdul latheef who made himself patience to listen to us for the long hours or else we would have been shown the door in few minutes after the meeting. The best out come of the meeting is to start a community center in Melvisharam. I wish and request to MMES to help, start a community center where students get guidances from experts to shape their career.......Corres Abdul Latheef, agreed for it....but the best of our expetation is it should come in old Elementary School opposite to Usmanpet Mosque...Insha-allah
