INNOVATIONS
Indian engineer honoured for 'green
steel' technology
India-born engineering professor Veena
Sahajwalla, whose research led to
commercialisation of the world's first
“green steel” manufacturing process, was
honoured with the Nokia Innovation
Award at the 2011 Telstra NSW Business
Women's Awards.
Sahajwalla, Director at the Centre for
Sustainable Materials Research and
Technology at The University of New
South Wales, is helping the materials
industries combat environmental
challenges with a technology that reduces
carbon emissions and uses recycled rubber
tyres that would otherwise go to landfills
in electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking.
The process requires less electricity and
reduces the amount of rubber waste that
ends up in landfill. The patented use of
recycled rubber in EAF steelmaking has the
potential to transform production
globally.
It was her fascination for fiery furnaces and
rugged conditions that convinced
Sahajwalla to join metallurgical
engineering at the Indian Institute of
Technology, Kanpur. She recalls IITK as one
of the most technically challenging places.
IIT-GN teams up with California
Institute to develop early quake
warning system
Researchers at the Indian Institute of
Technology, Gandhinagar (IIT-GN) have
undertaken a project to develop a 'slight
early' earthquake warning system. The
institute has teamed up with California
Institute of Technology (CIT), Pasadena,
USA, to develop a system having dense
network of low-cost motion sensors
capable of sensing earthquake's early
seismic activity.
The goal of the project is to put in place a
network of small devices called
accelerometers near an active fault line
which can pick up earth vibrations. They
can be standalone devices transmitting
data to a central server," said Prof Girish
Singhal, project incharge at IIT-GN.
"A mesh of very low-cost sensors in that
area shall be able to pick up velocity of
shock waves, issuing slight early alerts of
an earthquake," Singhal claimed.
The project is expected to be of immense
help to first responders during a calamity.

NANOBOTS: FACT OR FANTASY?
Nanobots were the vision of researcher
Eric Drexler. He envisaged tiny robots
(hence the term 'nanobots') that could
make nanomaterials, atom by atom. The
nanobots would replicate themselves by
taking raw materials, plucking out the
atoms they needed one by one, then
assembling a new copy of themselves.
Are they really dangerous?
He thought so. In his Engines of Creation
(1986), which introduced
nanotechnology to the public, Drexler
suggested that if a few nanobots were to
multiply out of control, they could form a
swarm of tiny, precisely engineered yet
lethal machines that together pull apart
every living thing in their path, atom by
atom.
He imagined that this rampaging swarm
might look like 'grey goo'. According to
one estimate, it would take replicating
HOW THEY ARE USED
Medical applications
The medical potential of
nanotechnologies is huge. Already on the
market in the USA are wound dressings
that exploit the antimicrobial properties of
nanocrystalline silver. Nanomaterials
could make good implants.
Nanoparticles such as nanocrystalline
z i rc o n i u m ox i d e ( z i rc o n i a ) a n d
nanocrystalline silicon carbide are strong,
lightweight, resistant to wear and
corrosion and (unlike many other
nanoparticles) inert.
For the future, there is potential for
nanoparticles to be used as vehicles for
gene and drug delivery.
Environmental applications
There are environmental concerns about
nanobots just three or four hours to
transform all living things on Earth to grey
goo. In April 2003, the grey goo scenario
apparently prompted Prince Charles to
enter the nano-debate. He called a
meeting of leading
scientists to discuss nanotechnology.
A closer look
Nanobots are nanofiction and likely to
remain so for decades to come. Drexler
himself has disowned the grey
goo scenario, and Prince Charles has
acknowledged it is not an issue.
The practical challenges would be
immense, and there seems little need for
self-replication anyway. Even physics is
against the idea. Nanosubs, inside blood

nanoparticles, but they could also play an
important role in protecting the
environment. A typical application would
be based on a column containing
nanoparticles that bound to a particular
contaminant. As water passed through the
column, the contaminant would be
absorbed onto the nanoparticles. The
nanoparticles could then be retrieved (e.g.
by removing them
magnetically) and the contaminant
washed out.
Military applications
New classes of nanopolymers are being
developed that can be sprayed on to a
soldier, to form a suit without seams. The

and 'soft' nanotechnologies, those based on

Soft nanotechnologies merge into
biotechnology. They can be seen in projects
that combine biological and physical

Nano-titanium dioxide and zinc oxide can
absorb and reflect UV light, while also
being transparent to visible light. They are
already used in sunscreens. The
cosmetics industry has invested
heavily in nanotechnology. New
products are claimed to penetrate deeper
into the skin or to have other benefits. For
example, cosmetics that slowly release

based technologies may also allow
countries to 'leapfrog' outdated
technologies.
As usual, the issue depends on the
priority we wish to give to problems
affecting the developing world. There
has been little sign so far that the needs of
poor countries are shaping the nano-
revolution.
An alternative is for countries to seize the
initiative for themselves.
And some emerging economies, such as
China and Mexico, have made moves to
develop local nano-capacity.
But there is always a fear that new
technologies can be too seductive, being
pursued more for their own interest than
because they offer the best prospect for
solving existing problems. Many
(probably most) of the world's biggest
problems could be tackled with tools
we already possess.

backfire. How do we tackle
risks and the unknown?
Technologies have improved our lives
immeasurably, but we now know that
they can bite back. From cars and
chemicals to medicines and microchips,
new things bring costs as well as benefits.
But how do we balance potential gains
against possible drawbacks? This is a
complex situation that now involves
governments, industry, universities,
consumer and campaign groups and
ordinary people.
TRICKY INNOVATION
The road from idea to
application is long and
rocky many factors will
influence whether a
product ever sees the light
of day.
Science and technology offer a huge
range of possibilities for feeding,
clothing, mending, defending or just
amusing ourselves. Only some ever
become part of our lives, however. This is
partly because time and money are
always limited. If you spend all your cash
on heart transplants, for instance, then
cholesterol testing to prevent heart
disease may lose out.
But there are a host of other things that
influence technological futures, such as
politics, economics, and social,
environmental and technological issues.
Politics...
Politicians in democratic countries
promise to do things on our behalf, such
as manage the economy, improve public
health and maintain effective defence.
And they pay attention to safety issues,
and must heed public opinion not least
because they want to get re-elected.
When it comes to technology, the
economy tends to come first. Science is
now increasingly supported not because
new knowledge is valued in itself but
because it is a good 'investment'.
We are now supposed to be living in a
'knowledge economy' - so we need to
concentrate on high-tech industries and
jobs requiring special skills education
and a strong research capability.
Governments try to imagine future
technological possibilities, to help guide
spending choices.
Economics...
In the end, someone has to pay for all this
stuff. By and large it is left to the
commercial sector to develop products.
So what actually gets made depends on
what can be sold.
All this makes innovation bringing a
ANUNAAD - XXV (October-December 2011)
genuinely new product to market a
different type of risky business. Many
products fail the test of consumer
demand.
On the other hand, particular demands
can shape the technology on offer.
Personal computers have astonishingly
good graphics because that is what game-
players want, even though the mass of
email and word-processor users may
never see them in action.
Because of the way that health products
are used, the situation here is slightly
different. Consumer demand plays less of
a role and there is a growing trend to
assess cost-effectiveness of new
treatments.
But economic realities still dictate what
happens. Pharmaceutical companies
constantly search for blockbuster drugs
ideally tackling a widespread problem for
many years. Less common problems, or
those affecting the developing world,
hardly get a look in.
Financial opportunities can also create
incentives for companies to develop
medical products of dubious
value, to be marketed at the general
population.
Technological...
Another problem for the would-be
entrepreneur is knowing when the time is
ripe to invest in a particular technology.
There is a big gap between the visions of
nano-manufacture and what is now
possible in the lab. Even if something
works in the lab, it may take much more
work to scale it up for wider use. The
w h o l e p ro c e s s o f t e c h n o l o g i c a l
development can take decades, and it is
often evolutionary rather than
revolutionary. There have been bold
predictions about gene therapy, but
hardly any patients have seen the benefit
yet mostly because it has proven so
technologically demanding.
Social influences...
Consumers make or break a new product.
But social influence can go further, from
creating fashions that increase demand to

active opposition to certain products.
Sometimes it is simply successful
marketing that makes all the difference.
Public attitudes to nanoscience appear
fairly positive at the moment. But this is
probably a poor predictor of future
responses. Few people have heard much
about nanotechnology, so this positive
outlook may derive from a general feeling
that science and technology do more good
than harm.
WHERE NOW FOR NANO?
Nanotechnologies are finding a huge range of applications, as these case studies
illustrate. How do you think they will be affected by the factors discussed in this issue?
Which would you back for success?

quantum dots are being used as tiny

Lacs of students join coaching
institutes every year. How best a
student can take the advantage of
coaching in a good coaching institute?
I consider myself really lucky that I got the
opportunity to study for 2 years in Kota
and I thank God and my parents for it.
Some of you might not be able to realize it
today but I am 100% sure that you will
definitely realize it at some point in your
future.
If you want to clear IIT-JEE, there cannot be
any place better than Kota. Whenever you
feel down or depressed, think about your
classmates who could not come to Kota,
who do not have good teachers, who do
not have good study material and have
nobody to guide them. This will give you
energy and motivation to perform better.
You can learn a lot from your friends apart
from your teachers. Remember the golden
rule that “Knowledge increases by
sharing.” If you are not able to solve a
problem and your friend is able to, ask him
how he/she approached the problem,
what was his/her thought process. I know
you get very little time for collaborative
problem-solving, as the homework is so
much but these things can be done during
lunch/dinner time or on Sundays.
RE
One can choose to remain focused on
goals & one can fall for sources of
distractions. Would you like to suggest
some do's & don'ts for students who
are taking coaching in Kota?
Don'ts-
1) Never go to gaming and movie shops as
these create addiction. Keep in mind that if
you clear JEE, you will get a lot of movies
to watch and lots of gaming to do.
2) Always try to have a good friend circle.
If your friends are going for a game of
How can one gain confidence &
develop interest in subjects?
Before you read answers to the other
questions, I would strongly recommend
you not to read all the questions in one go.
Read 2-3 questions on daily basis, think
over them and discuss those with your
friends during your free time. Only then,
you will be able to draw a meaningful
conclusion out of each. Also, my thought
process and way of studying might not be
the same as yours. So, do not worry if you
are not able to do the things as I have
suggested.
The first and the foremost thing is to pace
with the class. Always make sure that you
revise your class notes and the homework
discussion within 1-2 days of discussion. If
you revise them later, there is a possibility
that you will forget many of the things told
by the teacher. Also, it is a well proven fact
that revising in this manner helps retain
the notes & discussions for a longer period
of time.
What, according to you, a student
should do when stuck on any problem
in a particular subject (Take Physics, for
example)? What could be the reasons?

cricket, it will be difficult for you to stop
yourself from joining them. If your friends
are studying, you will also get motivated to
study. It is as simple as that.
3) Always remember, “If you are lured to
do it for the first time, you will definitely
be lured to do it for second time as well”.
So, never think, “Let's leave home-work
today & watch movie Just for today. We'll
not do it in future.” Remember - If you do
it once, you will definitely do it the second
time as well.
IIT-JEE Physics is all about getting your
concepts right and then practicing those
for gaining speed. Whenever you are
completely stuck on one particular kind of
problem, the probable reasons are:
a) You do not know which concept to
apply.
b) You know which concept to apply but
do not know how to apply.
c) The problem is a mixture of 2-3
concepts and you do not know how to
merge all those concepts.
So, what should you do?
In case (a), open your class notes and look
through all the concepts that have been
taught in the class and go back to the
problem again.
In case (b), write down the points you are
facing problems in. When you will get to
know the solution to the problem, you will
remember the concept for a long time.
Case (c) will not arise if you have
sufficiently dealt with case (a) & (b)
A lot of students are caught between
the preparation of competitive exams
and the Board Exams. How can one
balance IIT-JEE syllabus & School
syllabus without being chaotic?

Do's-
1) The 11th class is more difficult than 12th
class in Kota as you have to learn a lot of
things. So, try to find a good senior in your
PG/hostel or your city who can guide you.
Ask him about how to attempt the exams,
which books to follow, how to plan your
studies etc.
2) A lot of students lose their confidence
when they are unable to score well in tests
despite their best efforts being put in, and
it is quite natural. I know it feels really bad
Most of the syllabus is covered while
preparing for IIT-JEE. Before the exams, it
is good to go through the last 10 year
papers for boards.
Many students who are preparing for
competitive exams remain curious
about the plan of studies & daily
routine of successful students. Any
advice for them to have maximum
productivity & output?
Revising your class notes and completing
the home work should be your first
priority. I followed some of the following
techniques to maximize productivity:
1) Take 5-10 min break between 50-60
minutes of studies. The purpose of the
break is to relax and refresh your mind.
Walking in the corridor, taking a small nap,
listening to some soothing music etc are
some of the activities. Do not watch TV or
play video games as instead of relaxing
your mind, it will stress you even more.
2) Do not study a subject for too long.
Keep changing the subjects. Studying
theory continuously can be boring as well.
So, I used to take breaks between practices
of numerical and study those things which
need to be memorized. For example -
formulae, inorganic chemistry.

but even then, do not let out expressions
like “I can't do anything. I wish I had a
brain like that of a topper.”
Always remember everyone has his
natural pace of understanding. Everybody
has some strengths and weaknesses. If you
can identify your weaknesses and
strengths, you can improve a lot. Try to
improve upon your weaknesses slowly
and gradually, and utilize your strengths.
3) Try to find time for some physical
activity like jogging, skipping etc either in
the morning or the evening. Do it
whenever you feel mentally tired.
Never compromise on sleep and food, and
be regular. It will help you remain
energetic and work efficiently.
Any useful tips to learn formulae
effectively and remember them for
long?
Most of the formulae are remembered as
you practice. There are some formulae
that are less used. Instead of just
cramming those formulae, try breaking
them into parts and understand each part.
For e.g., the formula for electric field by a
charge carrying wire can be remembered
as:
a)Constant factor: Like 2*K* lambda
b)Proportionality factor: Now remember
that electric field by a point charge is
proportional to 1/r2 and by line charge it is
1/r.
Performance in institute's periodic test
& performance IIT-JEE How are these
two things inter-connected?
Always keep in mind that the people who
ANUNAAD - XXV (October-December 2011)
make IIT-JEE paper are not from a different
world. The paper of IIT-JEE is going to be
from the same syllabus as the institute's
periodic test. Of course there will be some
variations like the level of difficulty or the
length of the test. It can be slightly easier
or difficult than the periodic test but if you
are performing well in the periodic tests,
you will definitely do well in IIT-JEE.
How can one deal with the emotional
& mental stress usually associated with
IIT-JEE preparation?
Be patient. I know it is really frustrating
when you work very hard and even then
you do not get good marks in the test due
to some silly mistakes. Take it positively
that you did not do those mistakes in IIT-
JEE and still have the chance to improve
upon them. Analyze your mistakes and
you will definitely improve.
Also, keep in mind that when you are
giving your 100%, others are also giving
their 100%. So, it is really foolish to get
frustrated when you do not get a good
rank. Also keep in mind that some people
are naturally good at problem solving and
it is very difficult to defeat natural talent
with hard work.

Design lessons from the Steve Jobs era
The name Steve Jobs is considered
synonymous with innovation,
functionality, aesthetic design and
perfection. The co-founder of Apple
consistently mesmerised the world with
technological marvels which have turned
out so well, we couldn't have improved on
them even if we'd mapped our own lives
in advance. From the revolutionary
Macintosh to the cult-status iPod, from the
scintillating iPhone to the awe-inspiring
iPad, the technology czar has flummoxed
rivals and satiated consumers for around
three decades.
The reaction to his death, with people
leaving candles and flowers outside Apple
stores and the internet humming with
tributes from the world, is proof that Mr
Jobs had become something much more
significant than just a clever money-maker.
He stood out in three waysas a
technologist, as a corporate leader and as
somebody who was able to make people
love what had previously been
impersonal, functional gadgets. Strangely,
it is this last quality that may have the
deepest effect on the way people live. The
era of personal technology is in many ways
just beginning.
So what defines Jobs' design legacy.
Here are four design lessons that can be
learned from Steve Jobs' era, culled from
some of the commentaries by journalists
and thinkers who cover Apple in the
context of design and its relationship to
both innovation and profit. What's
surprising, delightful, and practical (three
adjectives that can be used for Apple's
products themselves) about these tips is
that they might not be obvious bits of
product-design wisdom. They suggest that
for Jobs, the beauty of creating Apple's
products and services was about much
more than engineering breakthrough
software or designing sleek hardware.
The formula for successful design?
Don't just focus on developing new
tech; also pay attention to
entertainment trends. “[Steve Jobs']
design decisions…were shaped by his
understanding of both technology and
ANUNAAD - XXV (October-December 2011)
popular culture,” as Steve Lohr wrote in
The New York Times.
Take a contradictory approach to
product designin other words, try to be
wildly imaginative and take grand risks
while always staying realistic. “The
lesson the world should take from Apple is
that a company needs to become multi-
dimensional. It needs to mix the core
business with the disruptive innovation. It
needs to combine the intellectual with the
artistic. It needs to maintain within it the
rational and the lunatic,” as Harvard
Business Review blogger Horace Dediu
wrote.
Design not only great products, but
also great marketing presentations of
these products. As Wall Street Journal
reporter Yukari Iwatani Kane wrote, “Mr.
Jobswidely known for his mercurial,
demanding management styledrove his
company relentlessly to make products
that consumers lusted for, unveiling them
in heavily rehearsed events that earned
him a reputation as high-tech's greatest
showman.”
Ultimately, excellent design isn't
about creating beautiful aesthetics; it's
about creating memorable
experiences. “The success of Apple, and
the design legacy of Steve Jobs, is [his]
laser-like focus on creating great consumer
experiences,” as senior writer Jay Greene
wrote on CNET.
There have rarely been occasions in
history when one man has revolutionized
an entire industry over and over again.
Surely there have been myriad
innovations in science, technology, arts,
literature, sports etc. but there hardly has
been a person who has consistently
reinvigorated a whole sector for decades.
He has been a standout performer in the
times of cut-throat competition due to his
vision, drive and immaculate business
sense; and in doing so has carved a niche
for himself, endeared to billions in this
world and passed away with a permanent
heart-ache and left a permanent ding in
the universe.

KVPYKISHORE VAIGYANIK PROTSAHAN YOJNA
The "Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana" is an ongoing program started in 1999 conducted by the Department of Science
and Technology, Government of India, to encourage students of Basic Sciences, Engineering and Medicine to take up
research careers in these areas.
About a decade ago, the Department of Science and Technology (DST) felt absolutely convinced about the advantages of
reviving a programme like NTSE, thus, the Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) was initiated.
The selection of students from those studying in +1, +2, any U.G. Program in Science / Medicine and also Engineering students having
aptitude for scientific research, are

Mechanical Engineering, Materials and
Metallurgical Engineering. It also offers
integrated M.Sc. programs in Physics,
Chemistry, Mathematics and Statistics.
The students for these programs are
selected through JEE and usually they are
the top students from various places in the
country. There are programs for M. Sc. (2
years) in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics
and Statistics, where the students with
B.Sc.(Hons) background are chosen
through an all-India examination known
as JAM. IIT-Kanpur has M.Tech Programs in
all the Engineering Branches, mentioned
above. In addition, there are M. Tech.
Programs in the interdisciplinary areas,
such as, Nuclear Engineering, Biological
Sciences and Bioengineering, Laser
Technology, Environmental Engineering,
Materials Science, and Industrial and
Management Engineering. The M.Tech
students are chosen through an all-India
examination, known as GATE. The institute
has also adopted a dual degree (B.Tech-
M.Tech) Program in which, the students
admitted through JEE, are expected to
complete the M.Tech Program in five
years, at the end of which, the student is
awarded both B.Tech and M.Tech Degrees.

Methods to decide a reaction as SN1 or SN2. (with Examples)
The given approach is useful to determine
whether a chemical reaction occurs via a
SN1 or SN2 mechanism. This approach
involves analysis of reaction conditions in
details. You should analyze the following
aspects of each reaction, in the order
introduced below.
STEP 1: Check the Reactant
P Remember: the structure of the
substrate is a ver y important
consideration in determining if a
reaction occurs by an SN1 or SN2
mechanism.
P Remember the trend of substrate
reactivity for SN1& SN2:
SN1: 3º > 2º > 1º > methyl
SN2: methyl > 1º > 2º > 3º
PIf your substrate is tertiary (3º ): SN1
highly favored. It won't go by SN2.
P If your substrate is secondary (2º ): Not
the best substrate for SN1, but it still is
ok. Not the best for SN2 also, but it
could still go by this mechanism. Still
SN2 is favored as SN2 takes place at
faster rate than SN1. In other words,
it could go either way, so you must
look at other factors before making
your decision.
P If your substrate is primary (1º ): SN2
favored. It won't go by SN1.
P If your substrate is methyl: SN2 highly
favored. It won't go by SN1.
STEP 2: Check the Nucleophile
P Is the nucleophile strong or weak?
(alternate: good or bad).
P SN2 reactions favored by strong
nucleophiles.
CHEMISTRY
CATALYST
P SN1 reactions favored by weak
nucleophiles.
P What makes a nucleophile strong?
Negative charge:
P A negatively charged species is a better
nucleophile than a similar, uncharged
species. In particular, a base is a
stronger nucleophile than its conjugate
acid.
Electronegativity:
P Nucleophilicity decreases from right to
left on the periodic table, following the
increase in electronegativity.
Size and Polarizability:
P Nucleophilicity increases down a group
on the periodic table, following the
increase in size and polarizability.
P What makes a nucleophile weak?
P Neutral charge
P Remember sterics!
P Bulky nucleophiles slow down reaction
rates.
STEP 3: Check the leaving groups
P SN1 and SN2 reactions favor good
leaving groups. Therefore, this aspect is
really not a major factor in deciding if a
reaction follows a S N 1 or S N 2
mechanism.
P HOWEVER: the nature of the leaving
group plays an important role in
determining if a reaction will
undergo a substitution reaction at
all!
P What is a good leaving group?
P Electron withdrawing, to polarize the
carbon atom on the substrate.
P stable (not a strong base) once it has
left.
ANUNAAD - XXV (October-December 2011)
P polarizable (able to stabilize the
transition state).
P Weak bases that are common, good
leaving groups:
P Cl-, Br-,I
P Sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate
P Neutral molecules:
P H2O
P Alcohols (R-OH)
P Amines (R3N)
PPhosphines (R3P)
P THE FOLLOWING ARE NEVER GOOD
LEAVING GROUPS:
P Hydroxide (OH-)
P Alkoxide (RO-), like CH3CH2O-
-
P Amide (NH2 )
STEP 4: Check the nature of solvent
P Solvent does play a role in determining
whether a reaction goes by a SN1 or SN2
mechanism. However, it is typically
not a major role… but it can “tip the
scales” in the favor of one
mechanism depending on the
nature of the nucleophile and the
substrate.
Polar protic solvents:
P Have acidic hydrogens
P Very strong solvating power
P Very good for SN1 reactions.
P Examples: water, alcohols
Polar aprotic solvents:
P Do not have acidic hydrogens
P Good solvating power, but not as strong
as polar protic solvents.
P Very good for SN2 reactions.
P Examples: acetone, acetonitrile,
dimethylformamide, crown ethers.
Aprotic solvents:
42
P Non-polar solvents. 3) Solvent: polar aprotic. Good for SN2.
P Not good for either SN1 or SN2. 4) Leaving group: NH2-, which is an extremely bad leaving
P Problem: nucleophiles not typically soluble in these solvents. group.
Therefore, they are not really useful for substitution reactions. Decision:
Everything points to a SN2 mechanism until the leaving group is
STEP 5: Sum up the ideas. considered. In this case, the leaving group is very poor. Therefore,
P Remember, nature of nucleophile and structure of substrate it is doubtful if this reaction will even work at all.
are most important. Answer: No reaction.
P Nature of leaving group less important, since good leaving
groups are important for both mechanisms. CH3CN
c) CH CH CH CH CH I + NaOCH3
3 2 2 2 2
P Solvent not a major factor, but its identity (polar protic, polar
aprotic, etc) can be a deciding factor in your decision.
Analysis:
1) Substrate: primary. Good for SN2.
WORKED EXAMPLES:1
2) Nucleophile:OCH3-,Strong nucleophile, good for SN2.

Father's Name: Shri M.K. Gupta
Mother's Name: Dr. Shobha Gupta
Occupation of your Father: Service (Electrical Engineer)
Reso Roll No.: 923350
IIT-JEE (AIR): 14
Home Town: Kota
Batch: IP
Year: 2009-10, 2010-11
First, accept the hearty congratulations
once again on your success at IIT-JEE
2011.
Thank you so much.
You achieved AIR (Gen.)-14 in IIT-JEE
2011. Did you ever imagine at any time
that you would be one among the TOP-
20 AIRs in one of the most grueling
engineering entrance exams in the
world?
Initially, the expectations were low. That
was when I had not joined Resonance and
was making up my mind for engineering.
But a few tests, scorecards and enormous
support from the teachers said that
disappointment just didn't exist as an
option.
Whom you wish to give credit of your
success in IIT-JEE?
There is a little credit that goes to me for
my rank. There were times when I wanted
to give up, go back home and ride bikes
with my friends, party late night. But there
were people in my life who wanted me to
stay. They convinced me that it was the
best for me to keep going on. My parents
and my elder brother were there to back
me up for troubles on various scales,
cheering me up every time (sometimes
when I didn't need it too). There were
teachers from Resonance and my school
especially Mrs. P. Jyothi who never let the
pressure seep in, and some good old
friends who were there to inspire me with
their lectures, over a candy or a sizzling
paratha! Wow!
What inspired you to plunge headlong
into the preparation for Indian
Institute of Technology (IITs)?
The crowd!!! Very often, facts are not so
beautiful. I saw (and still watch it with joy)
ANUNAAD - XXV (October-December 2011)
Category: General
Course: VIJETA
Study Centre: Kota
Branch: Computer Science
millions of student running blindly
towards these marvelous institutions. I
never really had a huge desire for
engineering but as it turned out, I built up
a liking for it.
What do you think is essentially
required to get into IIT?
If a person is sure that he wants IIT, he can
get in without any troubles. Well, the city
where I studied and a lot of readers are
studying today, is a cunning city. It is very
easy for a student to get lost in fun and
adventure. That way, he loses track of time
and progress. It is good to have friends, but
one must choose them wisely. And, if
parents are responsible for their children,
the reverse is equally true. You owe them a
lot. Just keep that in mind. Work hard and
you will rise fast.
What changes did you find in yourself
after joining Resonance?
Most of the changes were subject oriented,
like a better understanding of general
Physics and Chemistry. I started fearing
Trigonometry the day I saw 'theta.' It took
me some time to throw that fear out. PT, CT
and JPT helped me in coping with the
examination fear. I still remember the
uneasy cold bites I used to feel initially.
Overcoming them was another essential
barrier.
Give some tips to increase efficiency
while studying.
Efficiency is a very personal issue.
Although, short term goals should be clear.
Very often, people sit on their study tables
wondering about the latest movies or
magazine covers. Sometimes, gossip
sessions consume the entire night. With so
many friends around, it happens. But time,
if lost once, cannot be brought back. One
48
needs to be determined about his goals.
Like a set of 60 problems that have to be
solved in 3 hours. Thereafter, go out and
party hard! But set your goals first. It is
good to have a work plan, but it is useless
unless you implement it.
Let's talk about your mentors at
Resonance.
I had a liking for all the teachers who
taught me at Resonance. My initial batch
was BK8. I was there for a little over a
month. It was good to see my teachers
from the batch later on, when I had moved
up. They had their expectations and I hope
I lived up to them. In class 12th I grew
pretty fond of RKV Sir, ST Sir, SPR Sir and
VPM Ma'am. RKV Sir is simply amazing.
Everything about him, right from the
stories he narrates, the mistakes he points
out and the way he scolds. A classroom,
bundled up with sheets, DPPs and all the
fatal stuff becomes a lot more interesting
when he is around. And outside the class, I
believe, it is a privilege that I could rely on
him for anything I wanted.
Tell us something about your family.
My mother is a Professor at the
Government Girls' college at my
hometown. She heads the BOTANY
department there. My father is a Project
Manager in Areva T & D, a French
o rg a n i z a t i o n p i o n e e r i n g n u c l e a r
A Fair Share of Faith
Hailing from a rural township in Madhya
Pradesh, I come from a well educated
family. Each of my family members sets his
own objectives and targets, and then
sets forth to achieve them. I passed
through a hard life, full of struggles,
though the desire to perform well never
died. The educational life has been quite
successful, marked with good academic
records. Saying any amount of words
about IITs is less. Indian Institutes of
Technology (IITs) are India's most
prestigious & well recognized institutes for
engineering education.
Resonance has a competitive, supportive
and engaging academic environment. We
technology. My brother, Ankit Gupta works
for Techmahindra at Pune and we have a
pet dog, a german shepherd, named Tuffy.
It is great to have them all together.
Is there any IITian or engineers in your
family? Did you get motivation from
this?
Yes, there are engineers in my family, not
IITians though. My father did his
graduation in Electrical Engineering and
m y b ro t h e r i n E l e c t ro n i c s a n d
Communication Engineering. Their
support and guidance was crucial for me to
make my career choices.
Any memorable event/incident at
Resonance that you wish to share with
us
We celebrated RKV Sir's birthday at our
hostel - singing till one o' clock at night
with him, and the final words from Sir
being, “Don't be late for the class
tomorrow.” It was one memorable night.
Details of your interested fields,
accomplishments and achievements:
Plenty of interest fields: photography,
playing guitar and casio, creative writing,
debating, listening to music, chatting with
friends, sports like hockey, boxing (I boxed
thrice and never won a bout!), soccer,
cricket and many more.
There are no commendable achievements
came to know about Resonance through
newspapers, and we heard a lot of good
words about it through our friends, too.
The entire journey of preparation for IIT-
JEE has been memorable one, towards the
end of which we witnessed the most
unforgettable moments of our lives. It is
the Felicitation Function (VICTORY 2011)
at Resonance in which we were honored as
distinguished guests as our child had
qualified IIT-JEE 2011 with 14th All India Shri M.K. Gupta
Rank in general category. Archit's Father
As far as parents are concerned, my
suggestion is that they should take enough
care of their wards. Moreover it is
mandatory for parents to keep their kids
ANUNAAD - XXV (October-December 2011)
except an award for excellence in Sciences,
which I received from His Excellency, Dr. A.
P. J. Abdul Kalam. Before coming to Kota, I
used to take part in lots of debates and
cultural festivals too.
There are many who are going through
crucial preparations for IIT-JEE 2012.
Any advice for them?
Just work hard, enjoy your efforts. If you
feel that you are incapable, I have a
biography to narrate, the biography of
Lance Armstrong.
He was a cancer patient. Stage three, at the
verge of death. His survival chances were
less than 20%. Cancer had spread into his
brain and lungs. He could've quit and died
like a million others do…
But he didn't. Today he holds the world
record of winning Tour de France for seven
consecutive times. 2,290 mile cycling race
that spans entire France.
Do I need not say a word now!
Future Planning? Have you anything
specific in your mind?
I haven't planned anything yet. Perhaps it
is time to leave the crowd!
Once again, congratulations, and we
wish you happiness & success in all your
future endeavours.
Thank you so much for your wishes.
happy, smiling and tension free, regardless
of the circumstances they face. They
should partner their children like friends
and more important than this, they must
have sustained faith in the institute and
their child's efforts.
And for our son Archit, a greater part of the
journey is yet to come!

Eight remarkable Young Indian
leaders who symbolise optimism
of the country which has the
largest youth population in the
world
India has the second largest and youngest
population in the world. There are more
than 700 million Indians below the age of
35 in the country. Bharat Ratna Dr. Abdul
Kalam once remarked that there was no
credible platform in the country to
recognize the achievements of youth
across various walks of life.
An inspired Young India means that India
is on an accelerated path to take its rightful
place in the world order as one of the
greatest nations in the world.
Recently, IBN18 in association with IRB
Infrastructure Developers Limited (IRB)
announced the winners for the 2nd
Edition of the 'Young Indian Leaders
Awards' to honour the youth of the nation
for their admirable work and
commendable contributions. These young
leaders are a shining example and a source
of inspiration for the entire nation. They
personify exemplary courage, strong will
power and a burning desire to overcome
difficult circumstances to help the less
fortunate ones. They come across from the
length and breadth of India, and have
worked for change in their own states as
well as on a national level.
Ajay Chaturvedi
Social entrepreneur and a BITSian of 1995
batch, Mr Ajay Chaturvedi who is the
Founder and Chairman of the company

trained over 500 women and hundreds of
farmers. It has centers in Haryana,
Rajasthan, UP and Uttrakhand employing
hundreds of women. The company plans
to provide employment to 10,000 women
and affect millions of lives across India by
2015.
Sarath Babu
The man who turned into an Idli maker
after graduating from BITS Pilani and IIM,
made his education the means to become
a businessman. Sarath Babu, now
synonymous with FoodKing, is an IIM-
Ahmedabad graduate who gave up
several high profile job offers to live an
altogether different dream of providing
employment opportunities to people. He
launched the Foodking Catering Service,
and now with the help of his younger
brother and a team of 160 people he is
looking to expand operations to cover the
campuses of all major companies across
the country and abroad. He dreams to
witness a hunger free India thirty years
from now and also stresses upon every kid
being computer savvy, being able to
speak, read and write English in addition
to their mother tongue. He is a person who
knows the hardships of people and who
can truly support them in every possible
way and help them sustain their lives.
Anshu Jamsenpa
She created a niche in her field by
becoming the first woman (mother)
mountaineer in the world to reach the
summit of Mt. Everest twice in the same
season. The 32-year-old, mother of two,
from Arunachal Pradesh's Bomdila
successfully scaled the world's highest
peak to create a spectacular record with
grit and stamina, and became the first
woman in the world to scale the mighty
Mount Everest twice in one season in an
incredible span of just 9 days. It made a
huge financial burden for her middle class
family but she was prepared to handle the
terrifying prospects of failure.
Umesh Kulkarni
The 35 year old film maker is a National
Award Winner. His movie 'Valu' was
featured in Berlin film festival. 'Valu', also
became first Marathi feature film to be
selected in Rotterdam International Film
Festival in the year 2008. His other film
'Vihir' was premiered at South Korea's
Pusan festival and also at the London film
festival. His efforts are bringing back the
nations focus on Marathi cinema.
Dhruv Lakra
An MBA graduate from Oxford, Dhruv
started Mirakle Couriers, a courier
company with a difference which employs
only specially challenged (deaf & dumb)
youth thinking that a courier service
requires minimal use of speech and
hearing. Barring the 4 management staff,
all employees are hearing disabled. He has
2 branches in Mumbai and already plans
to go pan India in the long run.
While the award brings in much joy,
Mirakle Courier also inspired book author
Rashmi Bansal, who has to her credit
bestsellers like Stay Hungry Stay Foolish
and Connect the Dots. Her latest book- I
have a Dream, released in June 2011,
features Mirakle Courier as one of the 20
inspiring stories of Social Entrepreneurs
from India who found new ways to solve
old problems.
With the motto of empathy not charity,
Mirakle Courier employs a team 64 deaf
employees, where each of them has
gained copious levels of confidence and is
empowered with financial independence.
The social impact is that many of them are
able to go back home and support their
families, rather than being helplessly
dependent on them.

The man responsible for reforming Adat
village with organic farming and sanitation
has become a role model for his village.
Under his leadership for the last 10 years,
Adat village has received many prestigious
awards like Swaraj Award for best
panchayat for eight years, the Central
government's Nirmal Gram Puraskar for
achieving full sanitation and the Central
Water Resources Ministry's prize for
groundwater augmentation through
rainwater harvesting.
One of his key successes was ridding 3,000
acres of paddy fields in the waterlogged
low lying lands of intense contamination
by shifting to organic farming. Until then
these fields annually consumed 1.5 tonnes
of Furadan, a highly toxic pesticide that
poisoned the nearby water bodies. Adat's
domestic waste mixed with cowdung is
converted into organic manure. A 20-
member society of women under the
state-level women's empowerment
project, Kudumbasree, supervises the
project. These women from BPL families
make about Rs 5,000 every month by
selling manure. Every home in Adat has
toilets. It is also the first panchayat to
implement a housing scheme for all its
homeless and landless. The panchayat set
up an iron treatment plant with
contributions from the 3,500 beneficiary
families and technical support from an
engineering college at a cost of Rs 2 crore.
Today, they have no drinking water
shortage, even in summers. Puzhakkal, the
river running through Adat, was for long
no better than a stinking drain. The
panchayat cleaned it up. The Puzhakkal
River Tourism Village now attracts
hundreds of tourists who come for a cruise
in the reborn river. And a rebirth it is for
the village, too, under Akkara's able
leadership.
Saima Iqbal
With a degree from the United Kingdom,
Saima Iqbal is helping conserve Kashmir's
rich cultural heritage. She has aided the
mapping of Srinagar's cultural resources,
worked on conservation of the 15th
century Aali Masjid and pushed Kashmir's
Mughal Gardens for the world heritage
proposal.
The architecture of Jammu, Kashmir and
Ladakh has always been as diverse as its
cultural influences. Assaulted by apathy,
unchecked developmental pressure, and
vandalism, it has also suffered from two
decades of political instability, whether it
is the arson of the Chrar-i-Sharief shrine or
the Tourist Reception Centre, Srinagar has
838 listed properties, though only 18 are
Grade 1 and enjoy legal protection. For
Saima Iqbal, who graduated in
architecture from MSIA, Bijapur, and
joined INTACH in 2004, restoring the
state's cultural sanctity is a mission. With a
degree from the UK, she has not only
helped in mapping Srinagar's culturaI
resources by boldly walking its bylanes but
also worked on the conservation of the
15th century Aali Masjid and the World
Heritage status proposal for Kashmir's six
Mughal Gardens. She is part of the team
working on the restoration of downtown
Srinagar, which has faced the neglect of
over 250 monuments within a 3-km area.
Prashant Kumar Dubey
An RTI crusader from Bhopal, Prashant
Dubey who used RTI and the media
together to make child malnutrition one of
the most important social, political and
electoral issues, fought for a change in
order to bring transparency in our
democratic system. Not only has he been
phenomenal in engaging the Media in
highlighting the issue of malnutrition
among children, but also been successful
in persuading the main opposition party to
make child malnutrition an issue and take
a stand on how the problem should be
addressed.
Yuvraj Singh (Special Award)
Indian Cricketer and a member of the
World Cup Winning Team, Yuvraj Singh
was given the Special Award for
Outstanding Achievement, for his
performance in the recently concluded
World Cup. Over the last couple of years,
he has seen the depths of despair and
experienced the summit of triumph.
However, the tide turned at the World Cup
where Yuvraj experienced the greatest
moment of his career. Not only did he
perform superbly throughout the
tournament but also played an
instrumental role in taking India to their
2nd crown after nearly three decades.
Sampa Arya(Special Award)
29 year old Sampa Arya from Sonepat
became the face of the campaign to 'save
our sailors '. Her husband Ravinder Singh
Gulia, 3 rd officer on Merchant Vessel Suez
along with 5 other Indian sailors were
taken captive in August 2010. Sampa led
the campaign & knocked the doors of
Union Ministers, Chief Minsiters, even the
Prime Minister. Her fearless and relentless
campaign forced the government to
debate the State response to the piracy
menace. Pakistani human rights activist
Ansar Burney, moved by the plight of the
sailors began negotiations for the release
of the Suez crew that included Pakistani
nationals.

THIS POEM IS DEDICATED TO
MR. K.D. SIR (MATHS FACULTY)
A Teacher is………
Someone who is wise…………..
Who cares, about the students and, wears no disguise
But is honest and open and share from the heart.
Not just lessons from books, but from life, where you are,
A Teacher takes time to help a tutor,
With English or Maths or on a Computer
It's K.D. Sir, who's patient, even in stress,
Who never gives less than the very best!
Not that I was the perfect student,
But you were the perfect teacher for me.
“A Good teacher is like a candle it consumes
It self to light the way for others.”

STEPS OF SUCCESS
mDream is not what you see in sleep, dream is the thing which does not let your sleep.
mThe world we have created is a product of out thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking.
mThe difference between 'impossible' and 'possible' lies in a persons' determination.
mCourage is what it takes to stand up & speak; Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
mTalent is born in silence but character is born in the Struggle of Life.
mIf you want to be a winner, hang around with winners.
mYour treasure house is within; it contains everything you need.
mWhat does it take to be a champion? Desire, dedication determination, concentration and the will to win.
mIn character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.
mIt is through cooperation, rather than conflict that your greatest success will be derived.
mIt's simply a matter of doing what you do best and not worrying about what the other fellow is going to do.
mGreatest reward for doing is the opportunity to do better.
