Introduction
Greetings to all for the New Year! It is
heartening to learn that the seeds that we
sowed a year back is now slowly growing to
be a healthy plant, in straight words, the e-
magazine The World Around Us was
initiated a year back and now on the eve of
its 3
rd
edition, I am reassured that it is
growing in the desired manner. The idea behind this magazine was to get the
youth involved in knowledge, information, current affairs sharing as for any
country to progress, it is imperative that we have a well informed and in todays
age, well shared youth.
While we launch the 3
rd
edition, I must congratulate and thank the entire
editorial team for putting in the hard work and efforts to make this a successful
issue. My special thanks should go to Rishi Joshi, editor and faculty at SGJ and
Bhaumik Chheda, the student editor and Nandan Kothari, an engineering
student from Mumbai who was instrumental in compiling the contents. It just
goes to show that the magazine is gaining grounds and it I am specially glad to
think that students from beyond our institute is become part of it as right from
its inception, this is what we intended to achieve. I hope in the subsequent
issues participation from within the college and beyond will increase. We are
surely on the right track and I wish that the issues of The World Around Us
will play an important role in knowledge and information sharing amongst the
students and youngsters of the region and beyond.
And finally, this e-magazine is not to be thought of as an exclusive one for the
SGJ students alone, the real success of this initiative will come when it is
accepted and read by students of different colleges. The trend has set in, may
this magazine fly a long way!

A Message from the Editors Desk
Dear Readers,
Hello,
With the great efforts, love from you and the team
have come out with the 5
th
issue of the first E Magazine of
Kutch The World Around Us. This has been a collective
effort by the Students of SGJ Institute of Management and IT
and the members of the faculty. This time we have out-
sourced one special student editor from Narsee Monji
Institute of Management Studies, Vile Parle, Nandan Kothari.
People from entire Kutch region and outside read this E Magazine and call us
for congratulating our efforts. The credit goes to our team for being attentive
towards the motive of the magazine that is to uplift, reflect and project the local
talent to the world. Kutch is magnified as one of the isolated parts of India and
not only that but also less educated part. But this magazine proves these
statements false and comes out with the bright talents. Our faculties guide the
students in framing their articles and donate articles to the magazine so that
other students do get inspiration. By these collective efforts the team exhibits
The World Around Us. The team evaluates the latest issues around us and the
consolidated results are typed out to be published and the published magazine
spreads awareness about so many issues which can be helpful to a management
student and people concerned with this field. The local market, global trends,
business leaders all columns are merged into articles and the magazines is
designed by students as well as faculties. This time we are very much thankful
to Nandan Kothari for being with us during making of this magazine. He has
contributed his time in framing the cover story and other stories. We really
appreciate his contribution and wish him a bright future ahead.

Wake Up Call, Vol.1:
t is high time now. It is the time to wake up from our deep sleep and start
working. The alarms are continuously ringing and we are consistently
snoozing them. The day is not far when you go to the petrol pumps ask for
liters of petrol and in return what you get is a blunt and a sorrowful NO.
What will one do if he has a Mercedes SLK and no petrol to run it and no oil to
maintain it? It is then a mere piece of metal which can of course stay in museums
as a remembrance. Such a day for us is just out of question. Limits are crossed. It is
the time to start preserving these resources for the future generations. It is the time
for implementing Sustainability and makes the society eco-friendly. If you are
served Pizzas & Pastas every day for meals and suddenly a day comes when you
dont have these Delicious Dishes and have to
eat Roti, Sabji & Dal which is of course more
nutritious but we usually dont like it because of
its taste. So is for Sustainability. One has to go
Sustainable for sure so why not try Roti, Subhji
twice a week or more. Why not preserve the
resources for the future generations and also let
them enjoy the leisure we are having now. Why
not also save electricity and try contributing
however small let it be. Nowadays, smart work is
more appreciable than hard work. So why not be
smart? Since ages we and the bio-diversity are
one. So why not make such a blend which helps the both. Plant more trees and
save the environment. Stop Global Warming. Why not generate electricity from
Renewable Resources such as Wind, Water & Solar. These resources are free of
cost and most importantly not exhaustible & maintained easily. It is shocking to
hear that for the production of 1 unit of electricity government has to use 4 to 5
units of Coal, Petroleum and Natural Gas. On small scale Electricity can be easily
generated from least cost and most efficient turbines & solar panels, Food can be
cooked in solar cooker and water can be boiled by solar water heaters. I believe
that if each and every one of us starts making such small changes in our life than it
would lead to a big difference in the society. India would them be called
Developed. It is the time to start working for THE FUTURE WE WANT and
Go Sustainable.

Debts and Liabilities:
any a times for our thoughts and thinking, we are firm. We do not
allow bad things in our life. When we talk about finance, many
investors have same thoughts regarding debts. In their view, all the
debts are risky and bad. A good investor is that who would save before
purchasing. To buy anything like two-wheelers or house or anything else, it is
not bad to create debt or liability.
The true thing is that if these two
things were not there then the
situation of the world would be
very bad. To create the liability
means to plan to buy something
from our property. This sentence
can be taken as to purchase from
liability. It can be said that the
person creating liability, creates
liability to increase his income in
future. In business, we have to
pay wages, rent, salary etc. time
to time, in addition whoever had made purchases to maintain stock has to pay
the amount before maturity date. By taking debt or loan the merchant can
satisfies these types of necessity. A merchant can take loan from bank. Likewise
the family always takes loan from the friends and relatives or uses credit cards.
This type of debts should not be taken if you have extra income. A poor family
is always sacrificing to fulfill their necessities. To fulfill some needs they pawn
their gold and to relieve that gold they need cash, which they get fortunately.
Taking loans or creating liabilities like that a family and a merchant can create
property. To that extent, by taking education loan a child is prepared who will
get employment and whatever he will earn or enjoy, the sorrow of debt will be
forgot from that. A merchant can create that type of property from which he can
get income in future.

10 Values MBAs Must Learn Outside of B-
School

B-Schools prepare you to take on the corporate world, by giving all the
necessary management skills and knowledge. However soft skills are equally
important to make you a successful manager and a good leader. These
values guide your behavior, actions and decisions and will be of great
importance to your career and future success.
1. Striving for excellence
Trying to excel in your area of work is an important part of professionalism
and it is crucial to imbibe this value early in life. This involves a constant
endeavor to try and put quality effort in everything you want to do till the time
it becomes a habit. This could be sports, extracurricular activities, and
academics, being part of a club or society, or undertaking a social cause. Once
you try and push yourself out of your comfort zone to explore new
possibilities, you automatically hone your talents.
2. Integrity
Building your reputation takes years, but it might take only a second to lose
it. It might not be taught in your management class, but you would have heard it
from all those around you. Having high levels of integrity under all
circumstances is the most important characteristic a manager can possess.
Integrity means being truthful, honest and reliable, whether or not anyone is
watching you. This value should not only be reflected at your workplace, but
also with your friends, family and anyone you interact with.
3. Innovation
It does not only mean a breakthrough or a big invention. Innovation can be a
part of our everyday actions. Once we challenge our regular way of doing
things it is only then that we do the same things differently and generate more
value for ourselves, the organization and even the society at large.
4. Sharing
It is important to understand that people working in companies are not
independent of each other but are connected. This makes sharing inevitable.
One would be expected to share resources, ideas, knowledge with their



S G J I n s t i t u t e o f M a n a g e m e n t & I T

Page 9
colleagues and peers which is termed as teamwork. Therefore, it is important
to learn to function in a team environment so that you adjust easily.
5. Ownership
Managers are expected to take charge of their task and see it through from
start to finish. It is about believing that the work being entrusted to you is your
own responsibility and you would be accountable for the results.
Learn to take ownership when you are given projects or an additional
responsibility to work on. This will be reflected once you are at your job. A
person who takes onus will never find or look for an opportunity to put the
blame on others in times of trouble.
6. Joy
Always having a positive attitude is reflected in your personality. A joyous
person will find happiness in his work and make those around him cheerful
too. Happiness at work comes when you love your job, give 100 per cent to
what you do and constantly motivate yourself to achieve your goals.
Rather than looking at your job as a mere means to an end, have a passion
for your work. If you love your job you will give it your best which will lead
to endless possibilities for career success.
7. Passion to Learn
The inquisitiveness to learn something new should remain forever. Those
who continue to strive and improve by learning continuously will have their
learning curve always go up the graph. This passion comes when one takes
regular interest in not just learning about their academic or functional
areas but also keep their eyes and ears open to what is going on around the
world. Passion to learn will spearhead your growth by improving your skills
and expertise.
8. Empathy
Empathy is one of the key management skills. It is important for a manager
to understand someone else's point of view. To recognize, accept and
appreciate that each person is different helps in understanding them and will
make you more flexible. Many leadership theories suggest that the ability to
have and display empathy is an important part of leadership.
9. Courage
Courage might bring to mind images of heroism and sacrifice; however it is
an important virtue of a successful manager. Courage at work means



S G J I n s t i t u t e o f M a n a g e m e n t & I T

Page 10
allowing the status quo to be challenged and ideas to flourish. Courage at
workplace can be to do a thing differently, innovate, take initiative or voice
a different opinion Courage helps companies and people grow. It helps
increase communication, honesty and clarity in an organization; therefore
companies look for people who are courageous.
10. Responsiveness
A manager is being expected to be highly responsive to his environment and
customers by being aware of the situations around them. For this, one should be
agile and take spontaneous decisions. This is possible by being outward
looking, identifying opportunities and areas of improvement and creating quick
and effective solution.

Why are Employees Important?
he three main pillars of any system are the vendors, employees and the
bankers. Now the question still remains which is the most important
pillar out of these? There is a controversial debate amongst the
Management experts. For some employees are important, for some vendors are
important and for some company bankers are the important. It is difficult to take
decision. As situation changes, the thinking of management changes, the
importance of these pillars also change.
In my opinion Employees are most important amongst Stake Holders.
According to me, for any organization their employees play the most important
role. Employees give growth to the organization. They support on regular basis
and for long period. Vendors and Banker support during good times whereas
Employees are there for good as well as bad times. There are many good
examples where employees have given support to the company in their bad
times.
When the companys
financial situation is good,
there is rush of vendors
because payment is done
rapidly. Bank also didnt
have to extent their overdraft
(OD) limit. But as they came to know that banks financial situation is shaken
they began to behave strangely. Their only target is to make their payment
secure. At this situation, employees and bankers-vendors are differentiated.
The best example is of Jindal Saw Ltd.s C.E.O Sminu Jindal,
Omprakash Jindals granddaughter. At her very first day when she went to take
blessings of her grandfather, her grandfather said that your doors should be
always open for the small employees. Managers, bankers, vendors and
government officers would reach you in any way but how could those small
employees? Secondly dont forget that our income is based on them. If the
demands of these employees are not taken into consideration then the flow of
our source of income would decrease.
The meaning to point this example is that the visionary industrialist like
O.P. Jindal has also advised her granddaughter to take care of the employees.

Employees are the backbone of the organization. One should always consider
the following points while dealing with employees:
When you have to choose to give priority among these three
stakeholders then give first priority to the employees because if the
employees would be motivated then they would make out the way in
any difficult situation. But if employees are not given importance then
great difference would be seen in their work ability and enthusiasm
which would be a great obstacle for the progress of the company.
Everything should be in balance manner. Sometimes we see that
company gives more importance to remaining two stakeholders due to
which companys employees have to suffer. This spreads the feeling of
the dissatisfaction among the employees. Such a situation should be
balanced and if necessary then also more importance to the employees
must be given.
Progress and employees are directly related to each other and it should
also be known that both are the same sides of a coin.

Internet
The history of the Internet began with the
development of electronic computers in
the 1950s. The public was first introduced
to the concepts that would lead to
the Internet when a message was sent over
the ARPANET from computer science
Professor Leonard Klein rock's laboratory
at University of California, Los Angeles(UCLA), after the second piece of
network equipment was installed at Stanford Research Institute (SRI). Packet
switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the
UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the
late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in
particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, in which
multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks.

In 1982, the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) was standardized, and
consequently, the concept of a world-wide network of interconnected TCP/IP
networks, called the Internet, was introduced. Access to the ARPANET was
expanded in 1981 when the National Science Foundation (NSF) developed
the Computer Science Network (CSNET) and again in 1986
when NSFNET provided access to supercomputer sites in the United States
from research and education organizations. Commercial Internet service
providers (ISPs) began to emerge in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The
ARPANET was decommissioned in 1990. The Internet was commercialized in
1995 when NSFNET was decommissioned, removing the last restrictions on the
use of the Internet to carry commercial traffic.
Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has had a revolutionary impact on
culture and commerce, including the rise of near-instant communication
by electronic mail, instant messaging, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
"phone calls", two-way interactive video calls, and the World Wide Web with
its discussion forums, blogs, social networking, and online shopping sites. The
research and education community continues to develop and use advanced
networks such as NSF's very high speed Backbone Network
Service (vBNS), Internet2, and National Lambda Rail. Increasing amounts of
data are transmitted at higher and higher speeds over fiber optic networks

operating at 1-Gbit/s, 10-Gbit/s, or more. The Internet's takeover over the global
communication landscape was almost instant in historical terms: it only
communicated 1% of the information flowing through two-
way telecommunications networks in the year 1993, already 51% by 2000, and
more than 97% of the telecommunicated information by 2007. Today the
Internet continues to grow, driven by ever greater amounts of online
information, commerce, entertainment, and social networking.
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that
use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve several billion users
worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private,
public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope,
that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking
technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources
and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide
Web (WWW), the infrastructure to support email, and peer-to-peer networks.
Most traditional communications media including telephone, music, film,
and television are being reshaped or redefined by the Internet, giving birth to
new services such as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Internet Protocol
television (IPTV). Newspaper, book and other print publishing are adapting
to website technology, or are reshaped into blogging and web feeds. The
Internet has enabled and accelerated new forms of human interactions
through instant messaging, Internet forums, and social networking. Online
shopping has boomed both for major retail outlets and small artisans and
traders. Business-to-business and financial services on the Internet affect supply
chains across entire industries.

Google: Worlds Best Workplace

any tech industry companies in Silicon Valley offer a range of perks
and benefits to attract and keep employees. Several offer on-site
benefits, which have the added bonus of keeping the employee
workforce in the office more often. Give employees enough reasons to stick
around and you'll likely see productivity go up. Why head home when
everything you need is at work?
With that in mind, here's a short list of the perks Google employees get when
they sign on at the Googleplex:
If an employee's bangs are getting in the way during a furious coding session,
he or she can schedule an on-site haircut free of charge.

A Google employee gets a free haircut on site.

To work off all those calories, employees can head over to a gym filled with
equipment. For the aquatically-inclined, Google also provides swim-in-
place swimming pools. These pools are narrow and not very long. Electric water
pumps provide a strong current that flows in one direction. Employees swim
against the current, staying in place within these small pools. Lifeguards are on
duty to keep employees safe.
Employees can play against each other in a quick game of ping pong, billiards
or foosball -- you can find game tables in several of the buildings on campus.
There are also video games for employees who prefer to let their thumbs do all
the work.

Google employees can take a break and play a quick game of pool or foosball.


If an employee spills some of that fancy juice on his or her clothes, all is not
lost. Google has laundry facilities available to employees on site. The company
even offers dry cleaning services. It's not unusual for Google employees to
bring clothes in over the weekend to do laundry at the Googleplex.
Google's healthcare plan includes on-site medical staff. If an employee suffers
an injury or feels ill while at work, he or she can make an appointment with a
doctor at the Googleplex.
Even with all the benefits and perks at the Googleplex, work can become
stressful. Fortunately for Google employees, they can take advantage of a
subsidized massage program. For a small fee, the employee can receive a
massage from a licensed therapist in a private room. In fact, Google's massage
rooms and bathrooms are some of the only areas in the Googleplex that have
opaque walls.
Another famous benefit of working at Google is the 20 percent time program.
Google allows its employees to use up to 20 percent of their work week at
Google to pursue special projects. That means for every standard work week,
employees can take a full day to work on a project unrelated to their normal
workload. Google claims that many of their products in Google Labs started out
as pet projects in the 20 percent time program.

Ship Building Industry in Mandvi
andvi is situated on the right bank of river Rukmavati in the Gulf of
Kutch, on the west coast of India. Mandvi Port is an ancient port and
ship building center situated at Mandvi, about 52 km from Bhuj, in
Kutch District of Gujarat. Mandvi Port was an important sea trade post built
more than four centuries ago by the Rulers of Kutch. Mandvi has always been a
centre of attraction for its Ship Building since the ancient time. Whether it is a
ship of 2 tones or Model Ship of 12 feet, it has always been recognized for its
expertise in its designing and manufacturing.

Since more than a century Mandvi has been famous for its Kutchi Kotiyas
which is a special kind of ship. Kotiyas could withstand a storm from any
direction in the ocean and stabilize the vehicle even in extreme conditions.
Unfortunately, there are less than 50% of ship builders who have continued this
as a business & such ships have diminished and are not seen in the seas
anymore.
We came across a very good artist Jigar Jeram Panjeriwala who builds Ship
Models. He is been doing this since he
was in 8
th
standard. Panjeriwala, first got
well trained from his maternal
grandfather working at his workshop
and then decide to start his own
business. Working in the same field
since so many years has given him such
a great skill that he could make a model
of any marine body just inspecting it once. These ships are mostly used as
model ships. Secondarily, these ships can be used to gift someone or just as a
good show piece. Though, these model ships would also serve as the perfect
M



S G J I n s t i t u t e o f M a n a g e m e n t & I T

Page 18
souvenir. These models are developed from the Burma Teak Wood and can be
built as big as 12 feet. Jigar says, Modeling a ship is better business than
making an actual ship as the investment and the instrument used here are pretty
much less.
He adds further, Though it looks easy to make it but it isnt. The real cost of
the ship is its dimensions and the way the whole piece of wood is crafted to
make master piece ship model accurate enough to float or even sail in water.
Jigar has been working with institutes like
The Great Eastern Institute of Maritime
Studies, Sir Mohmad Yusuf Seamen Welfare
Foundation, and Centre for development of
Advanced Computing and University of
Petroleum and Energy Studies. He has also
been working for companies like Adani Co.
Also, he gets orders from local organization from Mumbai and other
metropolitan city as this art doesnt exist anywhere else.

Path for Aspiring Professionals to Build
Technical Careers

What skills do software developers need to get a job?
Most IT Small Medium Enterprises are looking for certain kind of
skill sets.
To start with, learn to code.
Coding is like body building:
Programming needs patience
and practice.
If applying for a job of software
professional, one thing is
mandatory - you should know
how to engineer the software.
If you have scored 76 or more marks in C/C in the first semester of
your college, that doesnt mean that you are good in programming.
Comprehending code: The ability to comprehend code is a skill that is
underrated during college time but is a very critical skill in the
industry.
Start with C. And then try to take subjects that involve programming
seriously (for example OOPs with Java, Shell with UNIX).
There are many stacks beyond Java and .NET where trained people
are hard to find (search naukri.com/indeed.com to find where are the
jobs) like Python, Ruby, JavaScript (Yes, you can make a career in
JavaScript), or Objective C.
Try to pick languages from each category (OOPs, system
programming, functional, web). For example, if you learn Java, then
its easier to learn action script as both are very similar.
Should I learn languages in depth?
You dont have to learn all languages. Pick one, spend a year with it.
Create something useful for yourself using these stacks.
Lots of languages in a college graduates resume usually means little depth in
each, and depth is directly proportional to efficiency and your confidence in that
stack.
After some work experience, for really good developers, technologies do not
matter. At least not for recruiters, provided theres similarity with the stack they
are working on.



S G J I n s t i t u t e o f M a n a g e m e n t & I T

Page 20
So the most important element is to get your fundamentals right, and your
concepts clear.
Should I focus on learning Android?
When we talked to candidates on and off campus in 2013, every second person
was learning Android. As long as you are
doing it for fun or to explore mobile
programming, its fine.
But if you are doing it for a mobile app
development job, you are going to compete
with a lot of talented freshers and
companies assume that if you have worked
on Android, at least you are good in Java.
Heres an analogy: In early 2000s Hrithik Roshan came to the film industry
then, Shahid and Ranbir. But if you are asked to learn acting, I feel you may
prefer Amitabh Bachchan.
Beyond technical, what skills must I focus on?
If you focus on improving communication skills, you create an impression of a
candidate who has lots of potential to create value.
Now, this is not necessarily always true. But, it does help.
Read; Listen to tech mp3 podcasts (like javaposse.com or twit.tv). Blog
regularly on something that you are passionate about.
Dont miss any opportunity to give presentations. Maybe, work in a call center
during college breaks.
Two, prepare for the Common Admission Test and Graduate Aptitude Test in
Engineering even if you are not looking for higher studies.
The idea is to be really good with aptitude, English and basics of Computer
Science theory.
How does placement for software developers work?
Sometimes students are forced to sit for first few bulk recruiters companies
whether they want the job or not.
They hire more than 50 per cent of the crowd. Now, getting the job profile you
want in these companies depends a lot on your luck -- Mainframes, QA, SAP,
Java mostly enterprise stuff.



S G J I n s t i t u t e o f M a n a g e m e n t & I T

Page 21
They help you to learn two things: one, how to work with large teams and two,
solving mundane/critical business problems that sometimes can be boring, and
have minimal technical complexity. You may not get any other offer from the
campus in a lot of colleges. And they might give you the joining date at the end
of next year and you will have to warm the bench for six months.
After bulk recruiters, training and placement officers invite small companies
and start-ups. They dont hire more than two to three people from the campus,
on an average. They allow people with backlogs and no eligibility around
marks. And now, because majority of the decent crowd is already placed, these
companies dont find enough quality and reconsider their decision of going to
those campuses again.
And then there are a lot of colleges where only one or two companies visit the
campus in a year.
Big or small company -- which is best?
A lot depends on the work and lifestyle you seek.
If you want a nice stable 9 to 5 job and are not necessarily very passionate about
coding stuff or technologies around, join a big corporation.
You will be happy working as a member of a technical team. If you are looking
to work on some customer facing apps development from scratch, want to get
involved in everything from UI/UX to servers from the first day of your job
after training, you are more likely to get that opportunity in a small to medium-
sized company. I am not saying that small companies are better than big
companies. There are scores of really bad small companies and many awesome
big companies.
For example, you can be lucky enough to work on cutting edge technologies
and still meet your GF or BF at 6 p.m. for a movie while working at a big crop
(but opportunities are very limited).
Or, you might end up making good money in a start-up while working for seven
days a week, and still enjoy that life. Usually, first job decisions in India are
taken in consideration with parents, dads IT friend, moms neighbor, cousins
and uncles. Therefore, all of this advice is pointless!

Person of the Issue: Mr. Bachubhai
Rambhiya
The team of The World Around Us initiates
an open interaction session with the most
dynamic personality and a roaring social worker
in Kutch, Mr. Laxmikant Vishanji Rambhiya
also well known as Bachubhai Rambhiya. He
is the Chairman of the Bidada Sarvodaya Trust
in Bidada Kutch. The trust has been working for
a healthy future of our country and has been
serving in this field since last 40 years.
Bachubhai Rambhiya was born on 14
th
January,
1935 at Koday, a village 10kms away from Mandvi. His childhood has been
very simple and he has always preferred to lead a pure country life. He attained
his primary education from Ramaniya in Mundra Kutch. He says, Teachers, in
the olden time were the only source of inspiration. They would always motivate
the students to achieve something big in their life by helping others. He then
migrated to Mumbai for secondary education where he later on studied in
Kutchi Visa Oswal Mahajan Wadi High School. After clearing his metric
examination he joined the Podar Commerce College in Matunga, Mumbai.
After completing his higher secondary education he joined his family retail and
wholesale business of cutlery and medicines. During this time of life he has
always contributed his service to the medical camps happening in Bidada under
the Bidada Sarvodaya Trust founded by Mr. Kalyanji Manji Patel and
Mr.Bhavanjibhai Natha. Due to unconditional support from his family he slowly
got diverted towards social service.

Bidada is a small village in Mandvi taluka placed around 20kms from the town.
The trust was started in 1974 with the aim of curing people and making a health
society. Without no advanced communication or transportation the trust
initiated medical camps 40 years ago. These camps were firstly started in
Panjrapod of Bidada every year in January where people from different regions
of Kutch used to come for treatment. The propaganda and advertisements of
these camps were done in the local newspapers. Health conditions, education
and poverty during that time were very bad and people couldnt afford them.
The funds for those medical camps were collected from Samajs, Trusts,
companies and even from some well-known people.

Bachubhai says, The joy we see in the eye of patients after recovering is
marvelous. This feeling gives me tremendous joy and pleasure. The blessings
they shower on us make me really feel happy. He says, The youth of this
modern India always should do something for others or contribute themselves
for any kind of social work physically, mentally or financially.

New FireFox OS Launched for Mobiles

Topping tech headlines on 2
nd
July 2013 Monday was the launch of the
first Firefox OS phone from Mozilla. Spain's Telefonica will start selling the
ZTE Open today for 69 Euros; the Open includes a 3.5-inch touch screen,
256MB of RAM, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. A 4GB micro SD card is also
included. Deutsche Telekom will also offer Firefox OS devices in Poland
"soon," but did not provide an exact launch date. Firefox OS phones likely
won't reach the U.S. until 2014.

On July 25, 2011, Dr. Andreas Gal, Director of Research at Mozilla
Corporation, announced the "Boot to Gecko" Project on the mozilladev
Platform mailing list. The project proposal was to "pursue the goal of building a
complete, standalone operating system for the open web" in order to "find the
gaps that keep web developers from being able to build apps that are in every
way the equals of native apps built for the iPhone [iOS], Android, and WP7
[Windows Phone 7]." The announcement identified
these work areas: new web APIs to expose
device and OS capabilities such as
telephone and camera, a privilege model to safely
expose these to web pages, applications to
prove these capabilities, and low-level code to
boot on an Android- compatible device.
Firefox OS is a Linux-based open source
operating system for smartphones and tablet
computers being developed by Mozilla. It is designed to allow HTML5
applications to communicate directly with the device's hardware using
JavaScript and open web APIs. It has been demonstrated on Android-
compatible smartphones and Raspberry Pi.
Gaia is the user interface of Firefox OS and controls everything drawn to
screen. Gaia includes by default implementations of a lock screen, home screen,
telephone dialer and contacts application, text-messaging application, camera
application and a gallery support, plus the classic phone apps: mail, calendar,
calculator and marketplace. Gaia is written entirely in HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript. It interfaces with the operating system through Open Web APIs,
which are implemented by Gecko. Because it uses only standard web APIs, it
can work on other OSes and other web-browsers.
Eich's argument that Firefox OS could make a dent in the low-end market
is that the Android operating system is simply too bloated to run on cheap
hardware. In order to build a truly mass-market smartphone, he explains, you



S G J I n s t i t u t e o f M a n a g e m e n t & I T

Page 25
need to reduce the amount of memory you use, and select low-end processors
(say, a single-core CPU) that silicon vendors can sell much more cheaply
because of the binning process. "If you don't balance the physics out, the
semiconductor makers lose money," Eich says.
But the latest versions of Android don't run well on such cheap devices,
he claims. "Android 4 doesn't run on 256MB of RAM... it really wants a gig."
And Eich believes that Google doesn't have a solution for that, other than telling
developers to fall back to the lesser
Android 2.3, aka Gingerbread.
"Gingerbread is still being mass
produced this year and will be mass
produced next year," he claims,
because Google doesn't have
anything better to offer. Eich also
thinks that Google's app momentum
could be its Achilles' heel: "Android
can't really slim down... they'd break
compatibility."
Of course, Mozilla thinks that Firefox OS has Android beat when it comes to a
lightweight smartphone operating system. An Android handset's processor, Eich
says, has "three mouths to feed" in that it has to power three separate pieces of
software: the Android kernel, Dalvik, and WebKit. By comparison, hardware
running Mozilla's Firefox OS only has to power the Gecko webbrowser
rendering engine.

Independence Reloaded
15
th
August. A day in the year when we actually realize, that we live in India
and India ought to be our country. Speeches, parades, dramas, competitions,
speaker bursting various amplitudes of so called Deshbhakti songs and all the
various things make us realize that we actually belong to India. But wait a
minute, is it worth it? The parades, the tricolor in the air and the noise pollution
from speakers; is all of this worth our 60 something (Does it matter? The
number of years?) of independence or semi-independence or non-independence
for some of the walks. Are we really free yet? Analogy is a branch which shows
comparisons between two things and shows the stark similarities and
differences between them. Analogy, on applying to present status shows that we
arent free yet. HOW?
Starting from the base, 6 basic rights are granted to an Indian citizen, after 1950,
which are hardly given, or are they?
A girl posts something, not so offensive about a ministers death aftermath on a
social networking site and another girl likes it and both of them are arrested
within an hour of the update, without utterly any explanation given to them.
RIGHT OF EXPRESSION VIOLATED.
A lady uses the core right, of all the rights to know something, not so
personal about a minister. 30 days later in the capital city of the country she is
shot in front of the high court.
RIGHT TO INFORMATION HARSHLY VIOLATED.
Millions of files are lying in thousands of buildings calling themselves
Courts, since hundreds of weeks. No solution to any of them and if any then it
had already been too late.
RIGHT TO JUSTICE VIOLATED.
Even during the English regime, these rights were not given and hence
not followed. So what is the difference?
Ministers resemble viceroys, Heavy tax rates & inflation resemble heavy
dues that were taken earlier, Lathi charge and tear gas resemble attacks like
Jallianwallah Bagh Massacre, Anna resembles Gandhi, Rape now resembles



S G J I n s t i t u t e o f M a n a g e m e n t & I T

Page 27
Rape then, Gold and treasure worth millions taken away by British resemble
Billions of dollars of India in Swiss banks and finally the Indian Government
now resemble the English Government then. So, are we free yet? Most of
stubborn people like me will argue about the development in our country. But
then did not English give us Railways..Post.Communication???We need a
new 15
th
August. A new independence. We were never free. We are not free and
we wont be free if we dont start the revolt now.
A massive change is required as imagined by Karamchand Gandhi then. If this
has to change it will have to change overnight else the process of breathing
wasnt even prohibited by Sir Adolf Hitler. We should change if we want to, but
sitting in the sofa and pressing a button to surf between Hollywood and
Bollywood movies wont do anything. Neither will posting videos on YouTube
or statuses on Facebook. A greater button is to be pressed and a better Movie
called India is to be scripted, directed and produced by you.
(WONT SAY JAY HIND CAUSE I DONT THINK I HAVE STILL
ACQUIRED THE RIGHT TO USE THE WORDS.)

Spy Bots
Spying involves a government or individual
obtaining information considered secret or
confidential without the permission of the holder of
the information. Spying is often part of military
department by a government to gather information
of enemies. One of the most effective ways to gather
data and information about an enemy (or potential
enemy) is by infiltrating the enemy's ranks. This is
the job of the spy (espionage agent). Spies can bring back all sorts of
information concerning the size and strength of an enemy army. But spying is
very difficult and has high risks. Researcher found new way for spying and that
is spy robots. Basically they are nanobots developed for spying purpose only.
"Robotic Fly" - no larger than a common house fly - are currently being
developed by the US military and could enter mass production later this
decade.These machines could be used in spying missions, recording and
transmitting audio-visual information. An individual robot would serve as a
literal "fly on the wall" - equipped with miniature cameras, microphones,
modem and GPS. Many terrorist cells could be infiltrated thanks to this radical
new technology.
One of the major technical hurdles will be creating sufficient battery
power in such a small object, as well as keeping them light enough to remain
airborne. Advances in nanotechnology may solve this problem. Together with
improvements in computing power, this would allow circuitry and components
to be packed more closely. More sophisticated versions might be developed for
assassin roles. These would have capsules in the abdomen of the insect, filled
with cyanide or another lethal toxin. This would be delivered to the target via a
small needle capable of piercing human skin. Some robots might work in
groups, forming networks to extend their range and abilities. Further into the
future, enormous swarms of these machines might be deployed on the
battlefield. However, concerns may be raised as to how this technology affects
the safety and security of citizens.
A robotic insect, similar in size and weight to a wasp or hornet, has
successfully taken flight at Harvard University. This is an amazing
breakthrough because just a couple of years ago, such robots were pigeon-sized,
and thus far less useful for detailed military and police surveillance.



S G J I n s t i t u t e o f M a n a g e m e n t & I T

Page 29
At the moment, the flight path is still only vertical, and the power source
is external. Further advances in the carbon polymer materials used in this robot
will reduce weight further, enabling greater flight capabilities. Additional
robotics advances will reduce size down to housefly or even mosquito
dimensions. Technological improvements in batteries will provide on-board
power with enough flight time to be useful. All of
this will take 5-8 years to accomplish. Needless to
say, by 2017-2020, this may be a very important
military technology, where thousands of such
insects are released across a country or region
known to contain terrorists. They could land on
branches, light fixtures, and window panes, sending information to one another
as well as to military intelligence. Further into the future, if these are ever
available for private use, than that could become quite complicated.

Recent Activities at the Institute
A) Best Out of Waste
S.G.J. Institute of
Management and I.T. and
AVIAI had a wonderful
activity event on Saturday,
13
th
July, 2013 at SGJ
campus which titled as
Best out of Waste. The
college asked each and
every student of the
institute and faculties to
participate in this event.
The initiative of this event was taken up by AVIAI and they also came out with
their creation. The participants were supposed to bring waste things from their
home or surroundings, which can be used to make something BEST. The
students came out with some extra ordinary ideas and they worked for almost
two and a half hours to execute their ideas.
Used water bottles, other plastic bottles, ball pen, chart-sheets, waste
boxes, waste perfume bottles and even a used jeans pent was made into a best
utilitarian items.
The presentations were displayed at college campus next day and the
small exhibition was visited by Mr. Anirudh Dave, Ex-mayor Mandvi and Mr.
Hemant Rambhiya, Bidada Sarvodaya Trust. They appreciated the various
talents and with that they also asked some utilitarian question to the participant
for their work of art.
The principal of the college Srinandan Mukherjee congratulated each and
every participant and he also thanked the distinguished guests to encourage the
students of the institute. He promised some more activities in future in order to
make students more environment friendly. He thanked the members of the staff
for co-operating.
