India's Rs.1,500 laptop a godsend for students

New Delhi: An Indian laptop priced at just Rs.1,500 ($30) and touted as the world's cheapest will come as a godsend for students for whom it has been specifically designed.

The laptop, unveiled on Thursday by Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Kapil Sibal, has all the basic features, including a built-in key board, a 2 GB RAM memory, Wi-Fi connectivity, USB ports and is powered by a 2-watt system for use in power deficit areas. The device is likely to be available next year.

The seven and nine inch Linux-based touch screen gadget can also be run on solar power, besides the battery operated system.

The computing device will support functions like video web conferencing facility, and multimedia content viewing.

The HRD ministry, under whose initiative the computer was designed and developed, hopes to bring down the price to $10 after the device is mass produced.

Accordingly, the ministry is reported to be in discussions with entrepreneurs, private firms and industries.

"If more companies decide to manufacture a similar device, prices will come down automatically," Sibal said after unveiling the device.

Teams of experts, students and professors drawn from the Indian Institutes of Technology at Kharagpur, Kanpur, Chennai and Mumbai and the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, offered their skills and expertise to bring out the device with the HRD ministry.

The low-cost computer fulfils a mission of the union government to provide e-content free to learners under the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology.

The HRD ministry undertook the initiative to develop the computer after meeting with lukewarm response from corporates, by crystallizing the concept with the help of a group of IIT professors.

One motherboard was reportedly designed by a student of Vellore Institute of Technology under his B.Tech project and was fabricated at IIT Kanpur. The cost had worked out to Rs.2,209.

Thereafter, the processes of customization helped reduce the price of the computing device. IANS

26 schools to offer new CBSE hospitality courses for classes 11, 12 26 schools to offer new CBSE hospitality courses for classes 11, 12

New Delhi: 26 schools affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) have opted for "Hospitality and Tourism" as a vocational course from the current academic session 2010-11 under a pilot project.

An MoU to offer Hotel Management and Catering Technology courses for Class 11 and 12 students in CBSE schools, was signed between National Council for Hotel Management & Catering Technology (NCHMCT) and CBSE on July 20, 2010.

The 26 schools that are offering the hospitality courses in classes 11 and 12 include 2 Kendriya Vidyalayas, 19 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas, 2 schools of Central Tibetan School Administration and 3 schools of the Delhi Government.

The curriculum for the courses, including text books, has been designed by experts from the NCHMCT and it is understood that each school would be adopted by a designated mentor Institute of Hotel Management.

Such a step would assist schools to professionally adopt and deliver the curriculum. Joint certification on successful completion of the course will ensure industry reorganization for students who can then either enter the profession directly or take up the further course at undergraduate level, for which they will be provided due weightage.

HRD Minister Kapil Sibal said that vocational education is a means of empowerment of children through imparting skills and underlined that it will lead to inclusive education.

He also stated that the strengthening of vocational education is required in order to take advantage of the demographic dividend of the country, as a means to give a skill orientation to those passing of senior secondary school, and who are not able to go to college.

"In the area of skill development, training in the hospitality sector has a special place, as when the global economy expands, the first sector to prosper is tourism," he said.

ANNA MALAI UNIVERSITY – AQUATIC MICROBIOLOGY CONFERENCE 2010

Aquatic microbiology is the science that deals with microscopic living organisms in fresh and salt water systems. Though aquatic microbiology encompasses all microorganisms, including microscopic plants and animals, it refers more commonly to the study of bacteria, actinobacteria, fungi and viruses and their relationships to other organisms in the aquatic environment. Aquatic microbial research embraces a variety of disciplines, ranging from molecular biology and physiology to population dynamics and ecosystem ecology. Aquatic microbes especially in the marine biotopes play a significant role in oceanic processes such as synthesising food, decomposing organic matter, recycling nutrients, and effecting climatic conditions.

Although microbes constitute over 90% of oceanic biomass, their biodiversity remains largely unexplored. Microbial diversity and its functions will be significantly affected by critical phenomena such as ocean warming and EI Nino oscillation. Microbial biotechnological approaches and molecular techniques continue to provide us with information on microbes potential for various industrial applications, bio-geographical diversity and phylogeny. There is immense scope for bio-prospecting of aquatic microbes for a wide range of applications. Thus, aquatic microbiology remains instrumental for innovations and future discoveries.

Objectives : The conference aims at promoting discussions on the current issues of aquatic microbiology to find out the challenges and opportunities for the advancement of existing knowledge in the subject. It will be a forum to exchange ideas, innovations and research findings among academic institutions, research centers, industries and policy makers worldwide.

Major Themes :
Ecology, diversity, taxonomy and evolution of aquatic microbes.
Beneficial and harmful role of aquatic microbes.
Bio-prospecting potential and biotechnology of aquatic microbes.

Format for Submission of Abstracts : Title (should be clear, descriptive and concise) (Central Alignment, Upper Case; Times New Roman Font with size 14, Bold) Name(s) and Address (es) of Author(s) with e-mail ID (Central Alignment, title case, font size 12, names alone bold) Abstract (in normal Times New Roman font with 12 sizes): The abstract should be clear, descriptive and not longer than 300 words. It should provide a very brief introduction to the problem and a statement about the methods used in the study. This should generally be followed by a brief summary of results. The abstract should end with an indication of the significance of the results. Non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential, they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
