I am a second year B.Tech student (CSE) studying in a tier-4 college . My college has no clubs and I thought about taking a CSI student/Individual membership, maybe it will help me learn something worthwhile and enable me to (maybe) publish a research paper(s). I am an average student and not very knowledgeable about computers although I am learning. So, I want to know whether the membership is worth it and how many year-membership should I take? Or are there better alternatives?

So there's this "Submit your idea and the government may fund it" contest in our college. I'd really like to do something good for the society but the problem is, I haven't been able to come up with a viable, economically realistic problem (not costing millions of dollars and centuries to build).

So, here I am. Throw ideas at me! All ideas are welcome! Scope of the problem can be any sector of society: education, citizen security, public transportation, corruption, water/electricity/waste management that will benefit using technology. It can be a solution for 1 city. Just 1 city.

Ideas explored so far:

• Unified public transport payment using smartcard/app (Smartcards might need a lot of investment? Smartphones are not for everyone?)
• Online payment of traffic challans (might curb corruption?)
• A way to send electricity amount directly to the government. No need for govt. to come to your house, check the meterbox and take it's photograph every month!

Hello, I work in colaba and desire to study along with my current job. I saw asiatic society of India on way to office.. I would like to know what's the procedure to join that library?

What are the charges?

What are the timings?

Thank you in anticipation.

Thinking beyond PCM, the lesser known way of making India’s future Computer Scientists
Author: u/siddharths067
Formal computing is something that is rarely touched upon by Indian schools, whilst organisations like WHJ are capitalising on the glamour of the startup industry. Most of what such programmes offer students are niche skills with zero academic rigour.

So even when middle class Indian students have access to computing resources, it is very hard to find students willing to take formal computing as a career path.

While it may seem like a problem for our research machinery to deal with, this lack of awareness also leads to a large influx of, politely put, “less equipped” programmers out in the corporate industry. This leads to very horrific training and hiring programs in the industry. I think people who have graduated engineering colleges will agree with me on this, we have a lot of software coaching institutes popping up that are good for nothing, ignoring the fact that sometimes companies have to have their own training institutes for their employees.

But there exists a less painful way of building the next generation of Indian programmers and Computer Scientists, something that, from my experience looking at other kids who were with me. Might only be talked about in the well-off urban Indian schools.

The Indian National Olympiad in Computing

An equivalent of its PCM corollaries the INOI is conducted yearly by the Indian Association for Research in Computer Science to find the crème de la crème of High School students in Computer Science. Some of the more successful people of 2016 batch, that you may have heard of were Malvika Joshi(that homeschooled girl who got into MIT) and Sameer Gulati (Very famous on LinkedIn).

It holds high weightage in admissions abroad (probably the reason it is not really well known in not so well off schools) but it also offers good admission advantage in IIIT Delhi, Hyderabad and the Chennai Mathematical Institute, all of which are premier institutes of the country.

It tests you on solving complex mathematical and optimisation problems using computers, using something called as Algorithms (The Science of Solving Shit) and Data Structures (The science of arranging shit to help solve shit).

Now all of these might seem complex for Highschool students to solve, who very likely would struggle munching on calculus alone, but I assure you it is far easier than it may initially seem.

You get into the INOI

>Urging students to prepare themselves in a better way to get lucrative jobs in the IT industry, Mr Abhishek Talwar (CEO and Co-founder, Hexaview Technologies, Noida) explained various roles available in the IT industry and highlighted the opportunities available at Hexaview Technologies.

>He explained the future growth matrices, the new work culture and prospects in the IT industry in India and suggested to students how to prepare for a better job and entrepreneurship in the IT sector.

Now here me out, I agree that Gandhi did make some decent points about non-violence and what not, but my problem is how he framed the narrative of history.

Gandhi’s narrative attempted to harken back to an “age of a simple India”, filled with peaceful villages where everyone made what they needed and helped each other.

This age is a fallacy and a lie, India’s history has been filled with empires who had brutally subjugated older empires that in turn built on brutal subjugation of older kingdoms. Our history has always been written by warriors and kings, the same as everywhere else in the world.

Gandhi’s narrative had stripped all of us of this heritage, and simply reduced us into a state of perpetual victim hood.

Modern Indians don’t see themselves as the descendants of the empires of the Mughals, Sikhs, Marathas, Mysores, etc. They only view the powers that came before as “oppressors” rather than their own history.

This is asinine because India is literally the only country that does this…. The Chinese portray the tyrannical and despotic emperors who forced them to work to death to build the Great Wall as the founders of their civilization.

Even the Japanese, who historically had a caste system worse than anything in India, developed a modern nation with a culture and tradition glorifying the samurai and the daimyo lords. The majority of the Japanese are commoners whose ancestors would have been killed for even daring to not bow into the dirt when their betters are crossing the road. And yet, the Japanese look back at this era with nostalgia if you see their media.

" Contrary to popular perception about heart diseases affecting older people, eminent cardiologists turned attention to the rising incidents of heart attacks in the younger population. They expressed grave concerns in a meeting of Cardiology Intervention Council, which was organised under the auspices of Cardiology Society of India, UP Chapter.

Prof M. U. Rabbani, Chairman, Department of Cardiology, JN Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), and President Elect, Cardiology Society of India, UP Chapter; and Prof Satyendra Tiwari (SGPGI), the President of the Society inaugurated the conference with lamp lighting ceremony.

Professor Rabbani presented a detailed analysis of coronary angioplasty and pacemaker data of JN Medical College, AMU. JN Medical College was greatly appreciated for providing effective treatment and health care to heart patients in an effective manner. Prof Rabbani also discussed newer techniques in complex coronary angioplasties.

Senior cardiologist and Padma Shri awardee Prof. Mansoor Hasan also graced the occasion."

Seriously, I’m looking for help from the punniest community I know

edit: not gonna answer anymore.

Hello, Im a B.Sc. Mathematics Student here in India and wish to settle abroad.

From what I've heard IT/Computers has great demand abroad, how can I switch from Mathematics to Coding, do I need to do Masters in some particular degree from abroad or get into competitive programming ?

Please Guide me...
