With the beginning of every new session at colleges, there are reports with instances of ragging at various colleges across the country. There were reports of juniors facing physical as well as mental harassments by seniors, resulting in permanent damages to individuals, parents and the society. There were only few which got reported, still there are many who are going through this pain silently. It is thus, the duty of teaching fraternity to create a healthy relation with the new students so that they can share their pain and stop the agony caused by ragging.In this direction Hon’ble Superme Court, AICTE and RGPV have issued guidelines for handling ragging by formation of Anti

Ragging Committee and Squad at college level, where students can report such incidents. Students can also report such problems directly to AICTE. As per the direction of AICTE, SISTec Gandhinagar, formed anti ragging committee headed by Dr. Manish Billore, Principal SISTec; Dr. Kuldeep Ganju, Principal SIPTec and Mr. B. S. Kushwaha, Administrator, acting as coordinator. While Dr. Swati Saxena, Vice Principal SISTec; Dr. Ajay Kaviti, HOD Mechanical Engineering; Dr. Ravi Shanker Mishra, HOD EC; Mr. Ashish Mishra, HOD CSE/IT; Dr. Abha Rajoriya, HOD EX; Mr. Shailesh Narayan, HOD Pharmacy and Asst.

EDITORIAL

There are two kinds of people, one who do different things and one who do different things differently; and people wonder how things happened! Sagarities believe in doing different thing differently. as time goes on Sagarities become more and more intolerant of other scenario. It can be frustrating to observe things happening in routine ways, if one has the idea to execute it in more interesting ways. So go ahead and take action. Try to be different, be brave and take a move to win. And remember winners don’t quit and quitters don’t win.We have reached here because we worked to get here and SISTec newsletter speaks volume of its achievements and efforts of every member.In this edition, I would like to thank my editorial team members and Mr. Anjum Parwej, HOD, School of Management Studies who had motivated and supported me in bringing out this issue.

Fostering innovation in the workforce is very high on the agenda across industries and ranks. With the budgets getting frozen and at times slashed, there is a constant need to look for ways and

methods to increase the ROI without compromising on quality. To cook up greater creativity, leaders need to update their approach to collaboration, compensation and culture. The new recipe would start with laying a base of trust. Mix risk-taking with job security. Subtract strict chains of command and barriers to ideas and add professional development. Reward excellence in routine activities and efforts to findbreak through’s, openly discuss failure. As simple as it may sound, it makes the work of the HR trickier. Companies need to bring in a change in their cultures to make employees

live, eat and breathe innovation. It would also mean adopting a middle path when the new and the old converge, making it imperative to balance the experience of old with the energy of new. With this goal NASSCOM organised their annual HR Conference at Chennai from 23rd July - 24th July 2013. This year Sagar Group was represented by Mr. Anjum Parwej, HOD, School of Management Studies and Mr. Ashish Bhatnagar,Training&PlacementOfficer.Both Mr. Parwej and Mr. Bhatnagar met HR Managers of different companies and invited them to organize campus drive for SISTec students.

APEES organized Monsoon fun games from 29th July 2013 with huge participation from all the branches. The chief guest was Mr. B.S. Kushwaha, Administrator, inaugurated the MONSOON SPORTS FUN. Events included games like Football, Kabaddi, Rugby for boys and for girls games were Kabaddi, Rugby & Sitoliya.Sports are fun but when one get to experience the same in rain, then joy gets doubled. And if one had chance to experience it with classmate at engineering college then they are memories for life time. Usually people consider students at engineering colleges as book worms but Sagarities had proved them wrong by striking a balance between love for books and sports.
