26 JANUARY 2016 VOLUME 45 ISSUE 1 Republic Day2016 NMKRV COLLEGE FOR WOMEN AUTONOMOUS INSTITUTION, NAAC ACCREDITED ‘A’, UGC RECOGNIZED COLLEGE WITH POTENTIAL FOR EXCELLENCE JAYANAGAR, BANGALORE – 560 011 Republic Day 2016 EDITORIAL he year 2015 has been memorable in many ways; the NAAC ac- Tcreditation with ‘A’ grade made the College create an indelible impression in the South of Bangalore; changes in the administra- tive setup have taken a positive trend. The 45th volume of Vartha Vahini is sporting a new look. The changing scenario is not just in College; all over the world, the positive and the negative trends that we are seeing are remark- able. On oneside India is speaking of becoming the world’s most powerful ecomony and on the other we are deliberating on issues of tolerance. ‘Make in India’ and ‘Start Ups’ and GST are big words but, the country does not want to truthfully follow them because we want to continue to divide in thoughts and action even after 67 years of independence. The education sector needs the much required positive sincere efforts by all the stakeholders to bring in a technological trend that is both students and industry friendly. This, however cannot hap- pen under the mindset of many people changes. In order to help the coming generation to become the most pow- erful economy of the World’s largest democracy, we need to stick to unity in diversity and avoid being intolerant.
