 Hello everyone, we are here today to take you through the actual working of the workshop as It will be held during June we have decided on certain dates in June 2nd June to 12th June We had already announced those dates when we Advertise this workshop So we will be talking today about the various things that go into actually running the workshop and And Please do pay attention because it is important that you as workshop coordinators learn what actually happens during the workshop How many of you have attended our workshops before? So I'm going to be walking you through the actual Workshop procedure now. I have with me on stage Mrs. Jayashila Gayathonde who's our senior accounts manager Sajjan Dixit our senior technical manager who looks after a view and Abhilash He looks after he's our system administrator and will be in charge of the moodle During the workshop. I'm going to start with a short history of the entire project because many of you are new and I'd like you also to know why we are doing this whole exercise of calling you here And then you know calling all those teachers to various centers. I think it is very important for you all to understand the The motive behind our exercise. So this is my outline I will be giving a short introduction to the project and some history We will be talking about the actual workshops the methodology the people which is very Important in relation to you the people and the team at the remote centers The coordinators workshop is already going on Logistics for main workshop. We will be talking about a view moodle and What is expected of you all post main workshop? Jayashila Gayathonde will talk about the funds and Then we will be talking a bit in detail about some concerns that we have with our remote centers this entire project was initiated in 2009 from IIT Bombay and It was initiated mainly using edusat in the first year, but you all know edusat crashed and then in 2010 We had to move on to a view which was a virtual classroom software, which has been developed by Amrita University We are in phase two now in 2013 because of the success of the phase one ministry asked us to go into phase two Trying to reach out to a larger number of teachers At you know during every workshop in the first phase our Target was about 600 700 teachers at a time even that number is large enough when you consider the You know the logistics that is necessary to bring together so many people, but we were asked to Target 10,000 teachers at a time So the second phase started in 2013 and IIT Kharagpur is our partner institute in this endeavor We have conducted 21 workshops on various engineering topics so far since 2009 our mandate was Core engineering subjects, but we have also conducted some very interesting workshops very popular workshops like Fosse and solar photovoltaics and Writing effective conference papers, which we think touches every aspect of a teacher's life I'm very proud to say that the workshops so far have been attended by Over 85,000 participants and we have a network of about 344 remote centers. This is our methodology. We identify Institutes across the country which could act as remote centers. They normally we look for good Institutes with a good reputation good infrastructure good faculty and a large number of engineering disciplines and The fact that they could host teachers from colleges around them Now we come to the people at remote centers. You all know that you are workshop coordinators You are teaching this particular subject in your Institute So you have been nominated by your Institute heads to come here and get an orientation on the actual Subject as it will be taught during the main workshop. We have also Appointed remote center coordinators at each remote center. You are aware of that all of you Yeah, so a remote center coordinator is the person who is in overall in charge of the entire workshop project in your Institute This is one of the most important factors in our project a view It's the ICT framework which has been developed by Amrita University and we use this Exclusively to transmit and deliver live lectures from IIT Kharagpur as well as IIT Bombay We will be using the Moodle extensively since this is a workshop. I mean the mode is the distance mode We have to have a lot of communication points since we are targeting an audience of 10,000 It is not always possible for each and every participant to be able to communicate to the teacher at IIT Bombay directly So one of the methods that we have come up with this Moodle. We will be using this extensively. So please Go back and familiarize yourself With the Moodle fourth. We will be communicating with you only on Moodle and not on email. So, please Check your Moodle every day at least twice. How many of you are familiar with Moodle? Those who are not please do familiarize yourself. You all have been already given Moodle IDs when you registered and when you were confirmed your Moodle IDs were sent to you So please do visit the Moodle site. We will be using it for online quizzes for Assignments practice questions just about everything. Now, I will come to the logistics for the main workshop Yeah, my team is distributing a document to you all which has a very detailed List of what is expected from a remote center coordinator and a workshop coordinator. Please go through it and Today and tomorrow if you have any queries, I'll be very happy to answer them So Once you read the remote center coordinator and the workshop coordinator roles, I'd like to tell you more about What else is involved in the logistics? We will be advertising this workshop but You all as workshop coordinators will also have to do your role in the advertisement We will be sending you soft copies of the brochures There is a budget head for printing them and distributing them in your local area please Advertise as much as you can it is one of your duties Please don't forget that as I said we will be giving you soft copies of the brochures If you like you may add logos of your institutes on the brochure But please make sure that the logo of IIT Bombay and IST does not disappear There have been cases, but please do make sure that We are the hosts. We will have the online registration about two months in advance from the main Workshop April 1st week. We will start the online registration. So make sure your Participants in your colleges and your areas know that I'm stressing a lot on Colleges in your local areas. The reason is we find that a lot of Participants are your own internal candidates This has been the case in the past so Since this project is aimed towards teachers in general Please don't be selfish pass the word around and host Your neighbors as well. Okay, we will send you a link for the seating capacity that you can offer in your colleges, please Make sure that you meet the deadline because that will enable us to allot a certain number of Participants to your institute the Participants will depend upon how many people you can seat Also, please make sure that you have a computer lab with internet because for Moodle You need the internet and time and again We will be giving you fixed time schedule where the participants will be needed to go to the computer labs and Use the Moodle coming back the online registration We will be asking the participants to provide a letter of approval from the head of the Institute now What is this letter of approval the letter of approval says that the principal has given permission for that particular Participant to attend this workshop, which means He is duty bound he or she is duty bound to attend that workshop for 10 days. The principal has given the permission. I Will be talking about this in greater detail later on But it will be your duty to check the letter of approval and Later on please send it to us We will be putting up a short list on the website as well as Send it to you. We will be sending you all the Communication details that are necessary for the participants their email IDs their phone numbers, etc The selected participants are also asked to contact the workshop coordinators and the remote center coordinators and If you can offer lodging and boarding for Outstation participants The link that we send you for seating that will include a column on whether you can offer boarding and logic and How many people can you accommodate so that list will be there there is a separate budget head for Outstation participants now just before the main workshop. We have a detailed Timeline for all this. I will be sharing that with you a little later. There will be a rigorous testing for a view Sajjan will be writing to you your Institute head and your remote center coordinators all three of you About the schedule now we do understand that you will have some problems on with days and things like that But it's quite flexible schedule. So, please make sure that you interact with him and change the date according to your convenience, but We will not pass any remote center without testing if your remote center has not tested rigorously according I mean and Satisfied Sajjan then that remote center will not conduct the workshop. It is very logical It is I'm not saying this out of any spite or anything if your participants cannot hear the Faculty from IIT Bombay or see the IIT Bombay faculty. Do you think there will be a workshop in your center? What will the people do just have lunch and go back? So to avoid that make sure that you have your a view in place We will be giving out modal IDs to the participants It will be your job to Communicate with the participants once you get their details to make sure that they all of them have their modal IDs They have to click a certain link and That they have created their modal ID We will send you soft copies of creative commons licenses and the permission slips It's exactly the same procedure as we follow here. We will be recording. You also might be recording So you definitely need permission from your participants on the first day of the main workshop You will have the registration procedure at your Center normally the workshop will begin at either 9 or 9 30 depends upon the faculty here I think you've sort of decided on 9 30 So about half an hour prior to that you can have your registration In place we will be conducting the inaugural and valedictory functions from IIT Bombay They will be delivered live to you. I do understand that dignitaries at your local Centers might want to you know inaugurate the workshop or whatever, but please make sure that the timing doesn't clash with our inaugural. We will be sharing helplines with you There will be people who will be answering the phone for problems connected to Moodle problems connected to funds problem connected to a view connectivity Administrative problems everything so there will be helplines. We are here to hold your hands through the whole process It's not as if you have to look at it do it all on your own We are here we are partners in this so as I said before we will be conducting quizzes solving assignments using Moodle So your internet connectivity also should be strong now coming again to the main workshop These are the dates that we have decided 2nd to 12th June the tentative schedule will be 9 30 to 5 30 sometimes if the discussion is interesting Very often sessions go beyond 5 30 In such a situation if there isn't a quiz or anything going on you are free to Stop at 5 30 we've had requests from remote areas where they have buses to take them to the city and things for that But 5 30 is the deadline not before that so we will be mailing the schedule to the coordinators and also it will be put up on our website and The Moodle post-bain workshop You will have to give the participants the final assignment. The final assignment is the Is a mandatory clause in this whole thing only? 100% attendance and the final assignment and the Quizzes they have to attend all the quizzes all these components together will make that person eligible for a certificate Please remember that I have people coming to be asking for certificates even if their participants have not fulfilled these conditions You all agree that full attendance is mandatory If they haven't attended the workshop, how can they get a participation certificate? We need participation The participants will be given a final assignment at the end of the workshop. We do give them time We give them an interval of about two weeks and I think that is reasonable enough two weeks for entire assignment and We encourage you to make groups amongst the participants. So there is group activity There will be individual activity as well as group activity. So you have to Coordinate that post the main workshop We will prepare that two week window that you get for the assignments will give us time to interact with you regarding participants attendance and It will also give us time to prepare their certificates So we hope that within two weeks provided everything is clear We will be able to send you the certificates some faculty in the past have wanted to give certificates of excellence to Some selected Participants or selected remote centers you could think about that if you like if any Center has performed You know very well and things like that as I said earlier we publish everything that we generate Slides assignments quizzes lecture videos everything is available in the open source So that is Another thing that I cannot stress enough. Please remember the creative comments License and permission slip for that now I'm going to talk about something serious. I know I haven't been very popular in these past three days I've seen complaints on your faces about attendance There is a reason for that. I have been with this project for five years and we have been monitoring this particular situation very closely most important concern that we have with the remote centers is Attendance I'll be talking about that in detail Administration at centers you all are here as representatives of your Institute and you have been given a certain duty to fulfill You are duty bound you are obliged to fulfill that duty But that doesn't always happen. I'll be talking more about that every Workshop that we conduct we give out Responsibilities of remote center coordinators and workshop coordinators everything is spelt very clearly in that Please follow that and Make sure you follow that because there are some people who don't follow that utilization of funds which Jaya will be talking about in more detail. There have been severe concerns with that as well she will be talking about that and I will be talking a little about a view, but I hope Sajjan will also talk about it So coming to the attendance part I talked to you earlier about permission letter that they have to bring from their Institute heads the principal gives them permission but calls them for invigilation and Calls them for regular lectures and things like that. What do you do in such a situation? You have a person coming in Signing going back again coming for lunch going back again. What would you do? As teachers, what do you do to your students? I will contact my HUD and also principal of my Institute Yeah, and please tell them that IIT Bombay has become very strict Okay There is a total lack of discipline. I mean this whole Workshop coordination is you know looked upon like a you know event management The workshop coordinator has been given some money. He has lavish lunches and generally there's a party atmosphere Please remember. This is a serious academic exercise. Don't forget that and It is up to you to set the you know the Atmosphere of the classroom. It is up to you if you are casual everybody else will be casual We've also had cases of workshop coordinators missing completely from the entire 10-day duration By the way, if anybody has questions about all these concerns, I have a whole a bunch of documents Okay, I'm not just talking out of my hat. I have document which has proof about all this So we can meet over tea and things like that and we can discuss if you have any questions about that This is one issue. I've already talked about there is no Advertising and there is only internal participation. It is very easy, you know, you just go back Oh, we are going to have this workshop You put up a notice get a bunch of your friends to come and sit inside the classroom Don't bother about advertising or anything When IIT people come, you have a full classroom. That is how the story goes Please let us have some seriousness towards this entire issue We also have been getting a lot of complaints from participants that the workshop coordinators do not, you know, handle our queries What is the point of your coming here attending this rigorous workshop for five days? If you have any queries, if you have any doubts, get them solved right now You have two more months, get them solved on the moodle from the faculty concerned But please remember you are, you know, representing IIT Bombay there in your centre And participants should not feel that these people have gone to IIT and yet not learnt anything Remember that you are representing IIT Bombay, you have undergone a rigorous workshop Clarify your doubts if you have any These are some of my concerns regarding attendance I'd like to now show you some actual shots If there is any likeness with your classroom or with your institute Please do remember that it is deliberate I hope somebody here recognizes this classroom How many people can you count there? This coordinator sent as an attendance for 83 participants And claimed funds for 83 participants Ten days Ten days You could see for the ten days right sir Yes, yes I would like to share with you all that Amrita has given us an excellent monitoring tool Where we can look into each classroom and take pictures like this And each photograph has a day, has a time stamp So people will not be able to tell us, oh that was tea break or that was before 9 o'clock or anything We have such people telling, such things, you know, coming from people You must have taken a photo in the tea break This is not the case This was coordinator's centre's attendance for 20 participants 33 participants These were students In this particular case, my team called up those people We asked the coordinator to give the phone to the participant The participant couldn't tell us his or her name or email ID Because they were not the genuine participants at all These were proxy participants And we are talking about colleges, we are talking about teachers, we are talking about students Is this what you are teaching your students to do? I rest my case Okay, we've already talked about this very low registration fundings above the remote centres Assignments or quizzes are not done by participants on a timely basis Involvement of workshop coordinators is very much essential This was notified to you earlier that this will be one of your duties So you cannot shirk this A view testing is not done on schedule We have people coming to us with excuses Our camera does not cover all the classrooms But you should pass this information to the participants Please be in the camera framing While we are taking the screenshots, they will be visible in the screenshots So we can identify that the participants are there If somebody is sitting there, somebody is sitting there, we cannot cover that I have an example of this This is the way the camera was set in one of the remote centres They have not published their video They are publishing the video The problem with the camera goes in the standby mode So there is a setting in the camera We have a view coordinator facility at your remote centre Whatever feed you will be transmitting to IT Bombay He can see the top right of the corner of the screen That what video is going to IT Bombay If suddenly the camera goes in the standby mode He moves the camera and will show the actual participants or the video But this is not the correct technique There is a setting in the camera The standby mode should go in the never mode There are multiple seconds, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes But the view coordinator should set never there So that camera will not go in the standby mode By the way, there is a provision for an view coordinator in the budget And most remote centre coordinators have a view coordinator Who will coordinate with Sajjan to set up all these settings that we are talking about While you are not required to do a view monitoring You should be alert to the fact that your participants are not being seen on the screen If we decide to visit your institute remotely You should be alert as to what is happening We do not expect you to be a view technician But definitely some alertness is required You have to be present mentally as well Now this is another case of a classroom Which has very poor lighting Hardly anybody is visible We cannot count people I don't even know what they are doing They are not even looking at the screen or anything So it's just a make-do kind of arrangement Just to show on paper that we are conducting this workshop Let me tell you something else We have a large team here And we conduct surprise visits And based on our surprise visits We have disconnected remote centres We have deactivated them We are preparing a list of defaulting remote centres And we will be supplying that list to AICTE and to MHID as well Because it's the mandate It's the money that is being spent So they definitely want a justification of that money being spent So we do all these things It's exactly like the university pattern Where you have flying squads and things like that So I'd like to stop here I will be taking questions afterwards I'd like to say a big thank you to MHRD Government of India, Amrita And Indian Society for Technical Education That's the IST organisation Which will give you your certificates And of course all of you who are partners In this entire project Thank you so much Good afternoon And welcome to the presentation On financial support to RSEs for the main workshop The outline for the financial procedure is like this IIT Bombay will transfer funds to remote centres Remote centres will utilise the funds As per the guidelines provided And remote centres will settle the funds And send final settlement to IIT Bombay We will now begin with fund transfers For fund transfers we require bank details Of all the remote centres Most of our remote centres have already provided their details So they need not provide them again Unless there are any changes However the new centres will have to provide Their bank details in this format Bank name, address of the bank Bank account number Bank account name and IFSC code of the bank The details have to be uploaded online On our enemy IST website Please note that the bank account has to be The official bank account of your institute And it should not be in any personal name We will accept your bank details We will consider them as authentic And we will accept them without any liability On our part We will start the fund transfers Immediately after the registration is closed And we will complete them before the main workshop starts Funds will be transferred through NAFT And we will update the fund transfer details On the website against each RCID The remote centre coordinator and the institute head Will have access to this field And they will be able to view the fund transfers Also after we update the fund details On the website and auto generated mail And to the remote centre coordinator Workshop coordinator and institute head Giving the details of the fund transfer The RC's will then check their bank account For the amount credited And they will acknowledge receipt online On the website Now we come to the fund utilization Funds have to be utilized strictly As per the budget heads And the utilization guidelines provided Interhead fund adjustments will not be permitted This is the format of the budget sheet The chart is self-explanatory The budget is in two parts A fixed cost and a variable cost Under fixed cost we have Honorarium, miscellaneous expenses And institute expenses Also there are columns Which will show the RC entitlement For the fixed cost Honorarium is provided to the team members Of your remote centre Honorarium payments should be strictly By checks or bank transfers only Cash payments is not allowed Because we have been receiving complaints That it is only shown on the paper That the honorarium is paid And actually they are not getting the honorarium So only if the honorarium is paid By checks or bank transfers There are some proofs that the honorarium is been Paid to the team members A team member should not play more than one role And should not claim multiple types of remuneration Except for RCC If a remote centre coordinator Is an expert in that subject He can act also as a workshop coordinator In this case the honorarium is Club to rupees 20,000 The next subhead under fixed cost Is the miscellaneous expenses budget This is provided for the registration kits To be purchased for the participants Stationery, postage, printing, photocopy charges Chartered accountant fees And other workshop related expenses Institute expense budget This is rupees 10,000 For each remote centre This is given for the common facilities Provided by your institute for the workshop Such as electricity, infrastructure Telephone, etc This amount has to be transferred To the institute account The next part of the budget is the Variable cost Under variable cost we have food Accommodation and travel reimbursement All remote centres will have to arrange Lunch and tea for their participants And also for their team members Accommodation can be arranged For out station participants If it is available at your centre Travel reimbursement is also for Out station participants This is rupees 1000 For entire 10 days period The criteria for tier reimbursement Is that the distance between Participants place to the remote centre Has to be more than 100 kilometers one way Each remote centre will calculate Their own variable cost Depending on their actual number Of participants So the total workshop cost Per remote centre will be The fixed cost entitlement as shown In the budget sheet plus the actual Variable cost Now we come to the final settlement This is post workshop activity At the remote centre We will be sending the budget sheet Detailed utilization guidelines With do's and don'ts And settlement document formats Well in advance before the Settlement workshop There will be two main documents Utilization certificate And receipt and payment statement Along with some supporting annexures To receipt and payment statements Both these documents Utilization certificate and receipt And payment has to be printed On your institute letter head And they have to be signed by Both the coordinators The final settlement has to be Certified by a chartered accountant CA certification is mandatory And it is our audit requirement Proper documents with original bills Have to be submitted within one month After the main workshop gets over When we receive your final settlements We will be checking the bills Thoroughly at IIT Bombay If we find any cash payment of honour area Any bills that are not Related to workshop The payments will be disqualified And the final settlement will be Incomplete, it will be sent back To the remote centre You will have to rework on it And submit it again Get it certified by your chartered accountant Again this time the CFEs will not be Reimbursed by IIT Bombay The certificates of Remote centre coordinator And workshop coordinator will be Released only after the Final settlement is complete This is my accounts team And these are the contact details For fund related queries These details are also available on the Website Thank you very much And my best wishes for the main workshop When your institutes were Made remote centres We got a letter From your institute head Saying that you have all this infrastructure In place You have this internet bandwidth Dedicated bandwidth From each institute So now there is no going back and saying We don't have this, we don't have that If you don't have it Own up immediately And your participants can maybe Shift it to another centre We don't want the participants to suffer in any way Our entire endeavour is For the skill enhancement Of the teachers That is the most important thing If your centre cannot give them the Experience Please tell us right now And we can shift The participants who register in your institutes To other institutes Please be honest about this One thing I forgot to tell you Is that we will close The main registration Ten days before the Main workshop Would it be possible for you to Say in strict words The limit for internal candidates Or the limit per college Number one issue that comes to my mind And regarding this attendance Whatever you have told Would it be possible for you to highlight this In the brochure so that we don't have to go And talk, do a lot of talking So if it is made clear from the beginning No attendance, no certificate So that we don't make some enemies For the rest of our lives where we are going to live We will do that but you will have to Tell them upfront But sometimes you know that you can be strict with us Because we don't know you by face So strict Madam, some professors Will be very senior to us It becomes difficult sometimes to tell them To attend There is a problem that many a times When I will be arranging some workshops So it has become a problem In that case please let us know And we are partners We will send a team to your institutes Small suggestion is that Before you send the brochure To our remote centres Just keep Word into the minds of the heads Of the institution I will be calling up each principal Each head of the institute personally There is a provision for TA He or she may be Subject expert So is there any provision for them to get Certificate? Not participation We will give them a certificate For helping us in the workshop Okay, thank you And also we have cases Where a workshop coordinator Is not only the coordinator But also a TA I don't know how that happens But we have had cases Okay, so please remember One person, one role only Unless the remote centre coordinator And workshop coordinator is the same Only there it is allowed Otherwise not Can we accept any branch of engineer Electronic, CET, EC As a participant in the main workshop Yes, any faculty member Yes, but not just for certification No man Should be involved in the Either in the past or in the present or future They should be involved in EVS teaching Exactly, that is what I was saying Not just for certification And also for this particular workshop We will be allowing teachers from Polytechnics and teachers Of PG courses Science only Participants from PG colleges Yeah, Masters Teachers teaching Masters courses Not postgraduate teachers teaching Undergraduate courses Ma'am, you are saying PG colleges It's a little bit unclear to me Undergraduate colleges means Teachers teaching PG courses Yes Colleges teaching PG courses But the concerned participants Would be participants may not be teaching PG courses No, teachers teaching PG courses only Only, yeah Colleges have but teachers For AICTE it is these teachers Who are considered on par with engineering college Teachers So that is a mandate from AICT All the branches, participants They are eligible for this course Engineering branches As professor Nikhil pointed out The participant should have Either taught the course Or should be teaching the course This workshop is not only for certification Okay This is specifically meant for skill enhancement So if that person is involved In EVS teaching only then Okay that means They must be teaching the first year Because we are having the Triple ES energy ecology environment That is fine And in civil engineering We are having that environmental engineering subject Fine Either they should be from civil engineering Teaching first year Not necessarily from civil engineering only Other colleges there might be people from other disciplines Okay Teaching the same courses, yeah Right, right, energy also Yes You please mention it in the brochure Yes, we always mention it in the brochure Regarding, suppose From my own department Some of my senior colleagues Including the head of the department He doesn't register But on that day He comes in and he says That I wish to see the proceedings What to do with that Fine, let him see the proceedings So he can sit there Without registration we can allow somebody to sit there No funds to be spent on him Okay No certificates, no food No disturbing the other participants See the primary focus of the workshop Is the participants who have registered And who are the legal participants In that workshop So all these other external people They shouldn't disturb And that includes students, that includes Research scholars And the same thing is the same Again from my department Some people, some faculties register online And I heard in that Sometime it happens And they come to me and they say I will go and come And in some cases it's very difficult To manage that I would have a Registration form itself That there has to be mandatory Something like that Some very strict language We do understand that people have Emergencies and things like that We do allow half a day's absence But not more than that That was another thing we are talking about Really the honour code here You as workshop coordinator If he is not there for that session Please mark him absent I have a big team They are all sitting there with windows Opens on their monitor They monitor each and every centre I will mention it But please make sure that you bring it to that person's Notes also See this is the situation, I cannot help you It is difficult for us to take an online attendance Because you are there As our representative And you have the dynamics with them We can't do it When the participants supposed to submit their Submitted online to us Before the registration Before he or she is confirmed We will check that and only then we will confirm them Teachers ma'am who are teaching PG courses Like MBA Are they eligible for that What does MBA have to do with environmental studies So Okay As long as they can prove that their syllabus has Environmental studies This course is for regular faculty or even Contract faculty can join Regular faculty is fine Regular faculty is fine But that person I mean we had this problem Of people who have been appointed for a short time And then When the vacations come they are taken off No no they are there for 2-3 years No no some people like people Who are appointed for a semester or 2 semesters And the general practices That during the vacation they are laid off And then when the semester starts They come back again They request that the principal gives A letter when they have to upload The permission letter saying that this person Has been a contract faculty and that He or she will be coming back to the college I require a letter like that I can't help that Yes but he has worked earlier and then Suppose he is working in an industry Just No no reappointment will be At least that principal can give us some assurance No no See after working if a person goes Into industry and that industry person Comes and attends a workshop meant for teachers Is that valid I have a suggestion final submission We send a sheet to circulate To all the participants that What is the name to be printed On the certificate So we can make one arrangement at the time Of filling application form online That directly the name should be printed On the first day you will be requested to By the participants to give the name that They wanted At the time of filling application form Online application form You will be surprised they don't do it After the workshop we spend 2-3 months Sending And re-sending certificates to people Who have spelled their name wrong in the first place At the RCC workshop We discussed that creative license form And it will be uploaded While filling application form Yes we will do that For the travel reimbursement It is written there Participants should travel more Than 100 kilometers This is only for out station participants Not local travel Okay okay But if the participant is leaving Or travelling in between Within 100 kilometers per day Then are you going to provide the local convenience No Is there a quiz on Akash tablet Which you have taken in last 1.5 years We are thinking about that But since the faculty hasn't We don't have any tablets left here We would have liked to give a demonstration here But since we don't have tablets left here We couldn't do that So we will Let you know about that Most colleges here are Akash centers Yes You all are aware of that You are also aware that we have recently Given you funds To improve your connectivity To improve that So there should not be any complaints About the tablets not working Or connectivity not being there In case we announce the Akash quiz Okay Professor Nikhil would like a show Of hands on where the Akash quiz is possible Akash centers Either the Akash or If all your faculty members can Go to the computer labs If it is all Akash or computer labs If you have any questions If we can have a quiz Like I give my lecture and in between I stop it for 5 minutes And you all take a multiple choice quiz In how many centers is that possible No professor Because we are not the RC coordinators We may not be able to Say it right now at this moment We have to discuss with the remote center coordinator You told that These two teachers Who are teaching in polytechnic colleges Are eligible to attend the workshop Even if they are not teaching The PG course Fine And my question is that The teacher or faculty member Who is having PSD degree in environmental studies And teaching in Degree colleges like BSc botany So whether They are eligible or not Sir if they are teaching UG courses They are not eligible It is not something that I have devised This is the rule that has come from the ICT But the core technique is also not UG classes Yes but we are making a special case for polytechnics Okay We are making a special case for polytechnics Because they are not normally exposed to You know workshops of this kind We are making a special case for polytechnics Okay thank you If you think somebody is very interested And that person is not eligible You can always get that person to at least sit through At her own cost For his own cost If you have place in your classroom That person can definitely come and sit The only thing that I am saying Is that we will not give certificates To those people And most important don't forget That we release everything in open source At the end of 3 months After the workshop everything will be Available on our website All these lectures Okay Ma'am When we will go to college For advertising or distributing The brochure That bill should be reimbursed Or that will not be reimbursed You will have to post the brochures You don't have to go there physically and give We have provided for postage but not for local travel Postage will be reimbursed Yes Regarding institution expenses All the right actions we have to Write in a bill You don't have to send us any bills The amount has to be transferred to your institute account No bills for institute expenses Okay thank you ma'am Transfer has to reflect in the bank Yes that has to be Automatically generated Otherwise you cannot conduct Actually this is a 10 days program The main workshop will be for 10 days That is from 2nd to 12th As I used to ask Now often whether we are human beings Of course we are human beings If in some case Happens to be I am absent for a day Then who should I assign to That is the reason we have created Remote center coordinator's role also So in case The workshop coordinator is not able To attend the workshop for a day He should pass on the responsibility To the remote center coordinator But you have to inform us well In advance that such a thing has happened There can be an emergency Where you cannot inform us in advance But the remote center coordinator then Has to inform us In a case where the remote center coordinator And workshop coordinator is the same person Then another Senior TA Should take on the responsibility for that day Information through modal Information through email The budget sheet gives you How to appoint TA's So there is one TA for 15 people 15 participants Okay and then that is how The order moves Thank you very much
