 We will go over to NJR Institute of Technology at Udaipur. We can see you Udaipur, over to you. I would like to congratulate the E-Outreach team, especially Professor Sanna Murthy, the real brain behind this workshop. And the section on plagiarism and paraphrasing was well appreciated by the participants here. And I would also like to congratulate on the basis of like new budget model that has been enrolled by the IIT Bombay team and it is successfully enrolled from this workshop. I would also like to know what are the other workshops that are planned apart from CFD and research methodologies. Over to you. Hello. I am Arke Bail. And as a behalf of all the participants from the NJR Institute, I feel that the knowledge of from the, it is the need of the present time that the research activities and quality of the research need to improve in the India's and IITs on behalf of IITs, they are having a good resources on the research. So conduct the more research workshop oriented particularly like maybe the electronics or computer subject wise workshop to improve the research activities also should be conducted. Thank you. Thank you so much for this idea indeed. If we conduct sort of a subject specific workshop which would perhaps combine some research concepts as well as some publication related concepts that could be useful, let us think about it. About the question on what are the workshops we are planning to do, there are a whole lot of plans unfortunately as you know technically when the financial year ends this year on 31st March, the project also ends. We have requested for permission to continue this project and we have been told that there will be a provision in the next financial year and next financial years to continue this effort. But before somewhere around April or May, we will come up with a year long program of the kind of workshop that we are planning. We will put it up on a general site which will be the e-outreach site currently and all of you would know what you would be able to expect in the coming months. And thank you for your encouraging response PVG COIT Pune, we will go over to PG COIT Pune. Yes, over to you. Good afternoon. We are very much thankful for this workshop. We understood very well how to plan and organize the conference papers. During the practical session, it was felt that the time provided for the analysis of the assignments was very less. Had it been uploaded earlier on the Moodle, it would have been more beneficial for us. Over to you. We will certainly keep this in mind, sorry there is one more there is one more observation being made. I am sorry for interrupting. Over to you again. I am a research scholar and being that I found this workshop to be an extremely beneficial one. I believe that writing research papers is the most essential part of any successful research work because all is well that ends well in the end. So, it was very lucidly conveyed by the instructors, whatever the research work and how the conference papers have to be written. But I just wanted to say that it would have been good had it been for longer duration. Thank you so much. If you see me smiling, it is because the original offer by Professor Sanamurthy was to conduct a half day workshop. And the moment I heard what she wanted to cover, I realized that both the idea was important and the coverage will have to be much more extended. And it was at my request that she agreed to extend it. I am glad that you found this useful. The fact that you feel that the duration could have been extended more. I would say that generally one can say this about any good course of program. You would like it to be extended because amount of learning that has to happen in any field including the field of writing technical papers is practically infinite. We can go on perpetually doing that. But I appreciate what you said. I would like to point out here or maybe I will make some of the observations related to this suggestion for enhanced time for the workshop in my concluding remarks. But good point you make. Thank you so much. R.C. Patel Institute at Sherwood. On behalf of the R.C. Patel Institute of Technology and all the participants, we are really thankful for of the Aklava team including specially Sahana Murthy madam who provide us the guidelines on the effective conference paper how to write and looking forward for such workshops including the latex workshops specially. Thank you sir. Thank you very much. Over to you. Thank you so much. The demand for latex workshop is indeed very encouraging. I will request did the professor Kannan speak about the spoken tutorial on latex? He mentioned it. He mentioned it. But we will provide for more details. Rest assured we will definitely take further steps related to latex very shortly. So there is a college Raj Lakshmi Engineering College Chennai. I am going over to that institution. Good afternoon. First of all, thank you very much for permitting Raj Lakshmi Engineering College to host this workshop. We would like to thank on behalf of all the participants to all the professors who shared their valuable experiences especially professor Sahana Murthy. This workshop has been very useful to all the participants especially for young faculty who have just started pursuing their PhD and students. From our side we would like to request to give priority to areas such as computational fluid mechanics where we will be very happy to get benefitted by the experience of IIT Bombay. And the workshop has been thoroughly interesting as it has been interactive in nature. Thank you very much sir. Thank you very much. I think I get the point that all of you would like to have subject specific discussions of this kind of work. We will definitely keep that in mind. Thank you very much for your comments. Yes, we can see our friends from Islampur. Over to you. Good afternoon to all. I heard many complaints from different centers regarding audio and video. But here in Rajarambapur, instead of technology, the infrastructure as well as the audio and video equipment which they provided, that was simply amazing and excellent. So no complaint about that from your side also. The workshop was excellent and could pull to all of us. The session conducted on presenting skills by Mr. Sunoj and also the presentation given from the paper, how to arrange the paper by Sahana Murthy was simply amazing. So one request from our side, if you provide the journal names and their addresses in detail, it will be helpful to all of us so that how to approach to them as well as how to present the paper and when to present the paper, we all participants will get idea regarding that. Thank you. Thank you so much. Sorry, there is one more comment. Yeah, please go ahead, sir. The content and presentation that you have discussed are very good and this workshop is really helpful to the participant who are starting their research as well as their writing papers to improve their quality. There are two suggestions from my side. First, a small discussion on the difference between how to write abstract and how to write conclusion is required from my side and second is it is beyond the scope of the workshop but still if you give some details how to select a conference for our publication, it will be more beneficial for us. Okay, thank you, sir. Thank you so much. I am sorry for responding late. I was just noting down both the suggestions that you made. Both are important and we will certainly comment on this and keep that in mind. Prasanna Murthy is taking down a whole lot of points. So, she will perhaps respond at the end. Let me go over to the next institution which is Shastra University, Tanjavur. From Shastra University, we thank the organizers of such a nice workshop. We are highly informated with Shahana Murthy and Kannan Madhugalai and Sanohasar session. This is really an eye-opening session and moreover, we are looking for more clarity while having the interaction session. Hats off to IIT. Another thing is, sir, we want to need regarding the latex software so we will be unable to know the several things in that particular software so it will be very, very helpful for us. Thank you. I am Sankaran Aranya from the chat room of Shastra University, Tanjavur, Tamil Nadu. I am quite aware that running such a workshop for imparting the best for the participants of the workshop is not an easy joke. Yet, by taking stock of the two days' conduct with regard to the workshop you have organized, that is, IIT has organized on heading writing effective conference papers. I could very well notice on both sides, both positive as well as negative inferences out of which as a positive thing I can very well quote that IIT has taken honest efforts in enacting the overall conduct of the two days' workshop in a very splendid way. Yet, out of the available intricacies and limitations to make the entire workshop to be fruitful and successful one, IIT has faced with its own deformities to make it an entire splendid task out of various factors in which I can very well include one or two. The software mechanism which I have used, A-View, cannot cater to all needs in which you had your vision. I mean, it cannot cope up with the video chatting as well as audio rendering. I think that either this A-View has to be improved further or something else used to replace this A-View to make it entirely a fruitful task to make the entire remote session a better one when compared to the two days' conduct. And I am quite aware that IITB has organized this two days' workshop as a maiden attempt and I am quite aware that M.H.R.D. out of his NME ICT project has funded for organizing this two days' workshop. Yet, even with the maiden attempt, IITB has taken wonderful efforts and it has drafted a very wonderful plan to make the entire contact a very fruitful and successful one. So with that, I just conclude as a final thing on the whole and on the average. I can very well take it. The entire contact was a successful one to some extent. Though not I can say it's too splendid, but it is somewhat better for the entire set of participants who took part in the two days' workshop. Thank you Anandal. Thank you so much for your observations, very candid. But let me very quickly respond to two points. First of all, this is not a maiden workshop. We have conducted seven such workshops in the past and second, about the quality of audio and video interaction. You mentioned for example, video chat being not available, etc. You would be aware of the fact that while many such features could be possible if the number of participants participating in any video conferencing mechanism is limited. When you have 35 remote centers with thousands of people participating, we need a mechanism which can simulate roughly a classroom environment, which is what is being attempted here. About the AVU software, please note that it is not a commercial system. The entire AVU software has been developed from scratch in India by our partner institution Amruta University precisely for deployment on such occasions. Please note that it is freely available for use by all educational institutions in the country. It is not yet open source. We are trying to release some portions of it in open source, but because the development itself has been funded by the government, it is available and accessible. It works on internet. Please believe me when I say this. I started the distance education in interactive mode here in India in year 2000 when we used to use the VSAT bandwidth. Today, we are able to use internet bandwidth. You cannot compare the facilities of AVU with interactive tools such as WebEx or Skype. They are meant for a different purpose. But let me tell you that amongst all the software available for classroom simulation, AVU is certainly one of the better ones available today. However, your point is well taken. We should have a much greater interactive experience on both audio and video. Today, what we have is what I would call an adequate experience, not probably the best. Rest assured that Amruta and IIT Bombay will continue to work on AVU and as the years pass, you will find better and better features as well as greater clarity and greater quality of audio. Thank you very much for your observations. We will go over to HGS ITS Indore. Good afternoon sir. On behalf of everyone here, I thank IIT Bombay for conducting such a useful workshop. All the sessions of this workshop were really very beneficial for writing or developing skills for writing effective research papers. There is a humble request from my side that there should be workshop organized on some specific research areas like algorithmic research papers or survey oriented research paper and also some mathematical oriented research paper. Thank you sir. One more participant. Good afternoon sir and ma'am. I am Sarika Tiwari and I extend our gratitude to IIT Bombay for organizing such informative and beneficial workshop for us. It had covered almost all the aspects of writing an effective research paper and it has been particularly beneficial for us as teachers because for me particularly because I am a teacher of technical English so I think that I have surely learned so many things which I can impart even to my students and sir at the cost of repetition we also request you to incorporate more examples like we did today while explaining so that we can get some more idea regarding that and we look forward to some more workshops like this in future. Thank you so much. Thank you for your comments. We will indeed keep in mind the desire. Thank you so much. We will keep in mind your desire to have more examples and workshops on different research topics although that appears very difficult for IIT Bombay alone to conduct but I will comment on it in my concluding remarks shortly. Let us go over to the next institute. We will go over to SRM Kanchipuram. Good afternoon sir. We are thankful to you two for organizing such a wonderful workshop over the past two days. I have a small query. Why not arrange technical guest lectures organized by experts from various departments in IIT Bombay or all the other remote centers who have experts in certain fields and display their lecture slides as video in the forthcoming workshops. That would be nice because most of the faculty require more and more exposure to working on certain key concepts in their various areas. I know that you have various experts in fields in various departments in your university. It would be great if you can arrange for some lecture lessons in your forthcoming workshops. That is what we have. Over to you. Thank you so much. This reminds me of an activity that we used to conduct in the earlier author of this project which is funded by TIFAC. We used to call it a nutshell lecture series. So, anytime an expert lecture would happen in IIT and if we had enough warning, we would circulate that notice to all the remote centers and all the previous participants of our effort. If they wanted, they could come to that remote center and attend that lecture. Perhaps we could start something like that once again and the need of course would be to have more and more remote centers. We are also planning by the way to do a simultaneous webcast of all our future conferences so that some people who cannot physically attend and are not interested in certification or let us say there are special lectures being arranged which they would just like to attend. It should be possible for them to attend it from any cyber cafe or their own institute or their own home wherever they have internet connectivity through the webcast. So, the simultaneous webcast mechanism we shall be definitely ensuring and thanks for the suggestion for arranging special lectures we will definitely keep that in mind. We now go over to St. Joseph College, Kerala. Yes, we can see our friends from Kerala over to you. Very good afternoon sir. I would like to tell you that we the participants over here at St. Joseph College of Engineering, Kottayam are very grateful towards you for organizing such a very wonderful event and I believe that after hitting this workshop all of us will be able to write a very good and effective conference paper and also present it very effectively. Now, we have an idea why our papers are getting rejected which was a very useful piece of information and we are very thankful towards you for that and I also take this opportunity to wish all the participants across the country all the very best for their conference papers. Thank you and over to you sir. Thank you very much. We will now go over to S.V. College Tirupati. Good afternoon, professor. I am Dr. D.B.V. Jagannadam. On behalf of Chadalabhadra Manumma Engineering College Tirupati, I have presented here. First of all, I thank to the organizers, IIT Mumbai and S.V. University coordinator for giving me an opportunity to participate in such a nice workshop. My session is, so before writing the paper how to conduct the literature survey. So if you are conducting one more program on literature survey, I hope the workshop may be more beneficial for all the participants. Thank you, thank you, sir. Thank you once again. Over to you. One more participant is there. Ready to talk to you, sir. Please. This is Aai Sunita from Annamachara Institute of Technology and Sciences Tirupati. First of all, I want to congratulate you, sir, for successful completion of today's workshop and yesterday that we are very impressed about a PPT presentation, the stage management skills by the notes, sir, what to do and what not to do on the stage. And also, especially in the yesterday afternoon section, we have enjoyed a lot and we are involved in a lot. This is to Sahana Muthi, madam. And I one request from my side to you, madam. You have given one two papers, paper A and paper B. If it is related to our individual discipline, we will effectively fill that workshop, madam. So, if at all if you give any examples in the next future workshop and I want you to collect the related good and bad papers to fill the worksheet, madam, because you have given an unlearning objective. Thank you, madam. Over to you, madam. One more thing. Being a woman, I am very proud of you, madam. Thank you, madam. Thank you so much for your comments. Literature survey indeed is an important aspect. Actually, more than how the literature survey is to be presented in a technical paper, I would be concerned about the way in which the literature survey is conducted by people. That itself has a whole lot of shortcomings, but this is not the place to comment on it. I will keep that in mind. Thank you so much for your observations. We will go over to Truba College in Dhol now. I can see our friend from Truba. Over to you. First of all, I would like to thank you and M.H.R.D., IIT Bombay and Aklebi team for such a great initiative. All the sessions were very fruitful for the students as well as for all the faculty participants. And I am having a query that some of our expert faculty members have some technical topics on which they would like to be an expert speaker and be the part of this workshop in future. So, how can we work out in that particular area, sir? Thank you very much. This suggestion has come in sort of different flavors from others as well, namely the need for addressing specific technical topics and to have technical experts speak on those topics, not necessarily only in the context of writing papers on those topics, but also in the general context of expertise in those areas. We will definitely keep that in mind and we will come up with some suggestions shortly. Thank you for your observation. We will go over to VIT Pune now. Once again, I am very thankful to VIT Bombay for arranging such a motivational workshop. And here, I want to give one suggestion is that next month there is one workshop based on the CFD and it is for the co-ordinators. So, I want to just request you to just allow the PG students to enroll for this workshop. Thank you. I just want to... Hello. Good afternoon. I am Prof. Fakatkar, Viswakar Manishap Technology. On behalf of VIT and all other participants, I am very much thankful for organizing this wonderful workshop. Actually, this is a very structured workshop. All sessions were informative and we have learned a lot of things related to the writing effective conference papers, particularly paraphrasing, writing skills and the organization and the structure of the paper. However, I like to mention one suggestion. Basically, particularly in session 7, which was conducted pre-lunch session. Actually, if you conduct a particular case study which is applicable to all remote centers, a common case study which is a very general case study and you can dialogue through that case study to write a paper from the case study, concept of idea to writing a paper. It will be helpful to us. Over to you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Basically, what you are suggesting professor is apart from analysis, some example of synthesis or evolution of synthesis jointly with all participants. It is a very good idea. Let us see if we can work out on something like that. Thanks for your observations and about the suggestion to make the CFD workshop accessible to PG students from the different participating institutions. I will discuss this with our own workshop faculty and with other colleagues and we will try to take a view that, like we permitted students to attend this workshop, whether we could do that also for the CFD workshop to be conducted in summer, maybe that could be useful. There is some more observation that is coming. Over to you again. Sir, one more observation. Yes, sir. Thank you. Actually, this is a very general observation. As I heard, there was a heat transfer workshop conducted few days back in VIT for two weeks for teachers and it was well-deconned by our faculty. I am requesting you to conduct such type of workshop for design engineering faculty. That will be also very useful to us. Thank you very much. Over to you. Thank you so much, professor. As you are correctly emphasizing additional topics from the area of your own work, permit me to say this that practically all teachers across the country in various disciplines, whether it is electronics or aerospace or civil would also like various topics, both basic and advanced topics to be covered like this. It is indeed our intention and I will make some comments on how we believe this task can be taken forward to further scale it up in my concluding remarks. But thanks for your observations. I will definitely keep those in mind. We will all look at the chart and I will make an announcement to the observations that you make on the chart. I had missed VIT Vellore. I will now go over to VIT Vellore. Yes. I can see our friends from Vellore. Over to you. Sir, we are extremely happy to be part of IIT Bombay's workshop and it was successfully being conducted in our university for the third time and we have one suggestion, sir. Sir, in this workshop some of the slides have not been uploaded before the workshop so it was very difficult for the participants to listen to the lecture continuously. So please try to upload those lectures before the workshop starts. That will be very much useful for us. Very good point that you made. We will ensure that in future we will always upload these slides ahead of time and Prasanna Muthi just told me that she will ensure that whatever slides are not yet uploaded they will be uploaded very soon. Thank you so much for the observation. We will go over to Wailton College Sangli. I am Dr. B.A. Bomin, workshop coordinator. On behalf of the participant I would like to thank you, sir, for organizing this workshop. Sir, I want to add you. Can you make this title the course for the student at PG and the doctoral level as audit course because it is an essential what you can say the study required for any research to go for the publication. Over to you. Thank you so much for your observation. Actually, I was not aware of the fact that some institutions may not have a course at the postgraduate level. It is interesting to note that in IIT, Bombay for quite some time there is a compulsory course on communication skills to all postgraduate students and research scholars. Further, it used to be a pass-fail course which would run throughout the year. Now it has been converted into a credit course. That course is a generic course on communication skills and specific topics under that course which cover aspects of technical paper writing. The way this course is run because I thought this will be useful for as a information to all participating institutions and in fact all teachers they can perhaps go back and try to implement this in their own institutions. So, the way the course is run is in the current format it has one lecture hour per week and two hours of lecture come lap session per week. The lectures are conducted by a humanities department expert and sometimes the humanities department would also invite external experts including experts from within IIT to conduct lectures on specific topics throughout the semester. Simultaneously for each lecture that is conducted a two hour practical is conducted by different faculty members for example, next year I will be the departmental coordinator for computer science and engineering students there are about 100 m tech students and about 20, 25 research scholars who join us every year. So, what I will be doing during the lab hours throughout the semester every week would be taking aspects of computer science related topics and enhance and empower the students whatever is taught in the lectures by humanities department in terms of their own ability to communicate well both verbally and in written form for their talk. Similarly, there will be a colleague from mechanical engineering department who will be the lab coordinator for that course from mechanical engineering department and so on. So, this is actually a compulsory course and in fact even earlier when the course of a pass fail course in a semester they were required to clear it in the next semester before proceeding with their ME projects and so on. I hope sincerely that all institutions in the country insist on at least one such course a mandatory course at all course graduate level if some institutions do not have such a course I would suggest that from you may even consider IIT course as a model but quite independently you should evolve a course because our postgraduate students and research scholars definitely need large amount of useful inputs so that they can improve their verbal and written communication sorry for a longer response but I believe this is a very important point that you made and if you do not have a course you should actually create a course as early as possible. I am very very thankful to all IIT Bombay team for arranging such a useful and extremely good workshop and I request you to arrange workshop regarding software handling for a postgraduate students in future. Thank you sir. Thank you very much. Thank you for that comment. Let me go over to the last institute in my list YC College, Nagpur. Good afternoon. Myself Dr. Sumanth Kadwane from the Central India Sir, I want to say that one Sanskrit quote at the moment Mahajanasi Sansar who is not benefitted from the company of great peoples and definitely we are very much beneficial from your writing of effective communication papers and we look forward for such workshops and thank you for giving us this opportunity to work with you the response from our participants is very much overwhelming. I would like to share this responses through our participant, Akshay Deshmukh. Thank you, Kadwane sir. Good afternoon sir, Pathak sir and Sahana ma'am. Especially, I would like to say that the sessions of the Sahana ma'am were very beneficial as far as writing the conference paper is concerned. I would like to give one suggestion for another 15 days rather the modal ID is going to be activated so whatever papers we have uploaded on the modal portal we would like that the team from the IIT Bombay will give their comments as well as their feedbacks as far as the effective conference papers criteria are concerned and we would like that those papers should be reviewed and I would like to say that whatever conferences or workshops that will be organized under the banner of IST at least the presentations of those workshops should be made available on the modal ID so that even though we cannot attend that particular workshop at maybe any remote center but we would be able to access that material. Again, thanks the team of IIT Bombay for conducting such an excellent workshop. Thanks a lot. I am very good up to you sir. My name is Jayan Kevte I would like to thanks to IIT Bombay. They give very good suggestions and tips for making conference paper. Sir, I have one suggestion one not suggestion it is the request. Because of the sound problem and some interrupt we can the participants ask the question these are unable to hear us that's why ma'am we can't hear and for this purpose through the mail you send this question with answer you send to all conference those part of this conference paper that's it. Thank you so much for all the suggestions. You are very right. The model is to be kept open for two weeks for specific interaction now. However, the observation that you made about contents being made available even later. Of course, the contents would be made available even currently they are available on a different page of the website I will request my web team to communicate to them where those contents are available but please understand that there has to be a whole lot of editing that has to happen of both the audio visual contents as well as text contents we have yet to set up the larger server infrastructure and to set up and release our portal the moment we release our portal not only for this workshop but all the past workshop the complete audio video recording of the lectures all the material on the model all the lab exercises questions bank etcetera all of them will be made available as I said earlier our ambition is to keep all of this in open source so that more people can use it we will definitely keep that in mind as regards sound problem our idea would be to try and remove this problem itself if possible and second once the interactive sessions including all lecture videos are available if even if you cannot hear the answer to your question during let us say some hiccup that happens to the audio system rest assured that that answer is getting recorded here and that recorded portion will be put up on the on the website as a recorded audio video so you will be able to listen to it of course there is no substitute for getting an immediate answer to a query that you raise now we would like to ensure that there are there should not be any hitches in sound and video we will try and ensure that ok thank you so much there are so many raised hands here now we can see our friends from Baramati over to you Professor Nirmal Sahuji from Vidya Pratisthan College of Engineering Baramati Sir, first of all this is first of its kind workshop which gives insight about how to write the research papers so I am very much thankful to you for conducting such workshop however I have one suggestion sir time slot for practical it require little bit more over to you thank you so much for the important observation practical sessions or tutorial sessions are indeed important and in fact in all of our future workshops we would be suggesting as it was in specific case of technical subjects for which we conducted workshops in the past we had fairly heavy practical lab and tutorial sessions earlier we will continue like that is there one more observation that somebody would like to make over to you for distance education my idea is that there should be a lectures on the same topic by many lecturers so that student can select a teacher of his choice over to you sir it is an interesting idea my own worry is that there may be more confusion and shifting from one teacher to another resulting in perhaps a little bit of a chaotic situation but thanks for this suggestion that possibilities of extending both the scope and coverage of all the workshop that we conduct through distance mode although there are some more raised hands I am sorry to disappoint our friends who have raised their hands but we will not be going over again because we already overshot the limit I understand that there are students who do not live in the place where they are attending the workshop and they would be keen to go back to their own places I will not take much time now in fact I wanted to share a whole lot of things in my concluding remarks I will constrain myself from doing that instead what I promise is I will record a 15 minute video at which I will ask my team to upload on the channel so that you will be able to listen to that 15 minute video and contemplate on whatever points that I make I will only like to take this opportunity to thank all of you we have noted all your suggestions and believe me we will act on those suggestions there will be many more suggestions which would be occurring to you once you go back to your own place and think about what has happened do not hesitate to put forward those comments observations and suggestions on the moodle as I said will be keeping the moodle active for 2 more weeks so as I said I will put my comments in the form of a video recording on the moodle please permit me about a week time or maybe 4 days because I have to travel to Delhi and Chennai over the next 3 days by Thursday I will be putting up that 15 minute video so I will take this opportunity to thank all the participants let me once again iterate that amongst all the 8 workshops that we have conducted so far this workshop has had the maximum enrollment and also the maximum attendance so I compliment all the participants I specifically thank all the remote center coordinators and the workshop coordinators and their team without their help this workshop would not have succeeded and of course I must thank all my colleagues in IIT Bombay itself I would like to conclude by handing over a small bouquet as a token of appreciation to the workshop coordinator from our side Mrs. Sahana Murthy for doing a wonderful job thank you so much so thank you so much we will meet again in the subsequent workshops in this series in the meanwhile please feel free to write to us not just about this workshop but any general observation comment and suggestion that you would like to make because our ambition is all of us together should take the quality of engineering education to greater heights in this country thank you so much over and out
