B. Veluskar Translated by S. S. Kulkarni (Source: Modern Indian Literature: An Anthology, Vol. I. Sahitya Akademi, 1992) Deep Obeisance to her! On this earth e rain water pours in torrents But she stems it. Massive walls, Towering cities, All she supports. e wide expanse of ocean waters, Huge mountains of gold, She holds them too. Dawn and dusk arrive and depart At the tender biddings Of her temple bells… … She alone prompts me to sprout into a shoot, She alone is my ultimate immaculate resort, She who is Mother Earth! … Give me your hand. Let me identify e earth inhering in you. Let me know Out of earth You have forged earth. Let me be kneaded Into this earth Out of this kneaded earth You have created an auspicious hour. Let me sing my prayers to it To the accompaniment of humming breeze. Let life blossom in it… Photo credit: Ashish Ekka, B. Tech. Batch ’16. IIT Goa. GO 6 Worlds Here, at IIT Goa, we witness and touch the Goa described by V. B. Veluskar in his Konkani poem, Māti. Each day we inhale its earthy smell and taste its tropical avors. Living in Goa reminds us that this state is way more than a coveted tourist destination, known globally for its sandy beaches and pleasant weather. Goa, undoubtedly, is a place touched by the beauty of the sea. But it is also a land with rich natural resources, thriving industries, and intricate waterways. Goa brings mother earth and human innovation in harmony to build sustainable infrastructure to give its people the best quality of life while protecting the environment. Above all, it is a magical place with a deep history of people from dierent cultures coming together and learning to live together in peace. IIT Goa Annual report is our humble tribute to this spirit of Goa – diverse yet inclusive. e state of Goa and its people make us feel at home, irrespective of where we come from. Goa welcomes us and makes us part of its landscape, coloring us with both its modernity and tradition. erefore, our design team of B. Tech students decided to use two colors most symbolic of Goa to our mind – Blue and Red. Blue, needless to say, represents the endless blue skies and sea that gently touch its coastal line. Red is the color of the Goan soil, made up of laterites rich in ferric-al- uminium oxides. Earth and water come together as inspiration to us for expressing our collective gratitude. e IIT Goa community looks forward to the endless possibility of transforming lives with humility and a smile like the Goan people around us.

The Madras High Court has directed the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur (IIT-K) to give preference to candidates who have answered in exact numerical value in decimal notation, rounding off to second decimal place, to candidates who answered by rounding off values to one decimal point or without any decimal notation in the Joint Entrance Examination Advanced (JEE Advanced- 2018).Justice S Vaidyanathan gave the directive while allowing a writ petition from L Lakshmi Sree, who wrote the JEE in Chennai on May 20. Petitioner said candidates were instructed to answer in correct numerical value in decimal notation rounded off to the second decimal place. Full marks are to be given only if answered as per the instructions. According to petitioner, as per the instructions, she spent quality time to answer the questions by entering correct numerical value in decimal notation rounding off to second decimal. However, some candidates, without reading the instructions carefully, had answered with one decimal point or without any decimal notation, she added. Subsequently, the authorities concerned made a clarification on their website stating that “If an answer is the integer 11, all the answers entered as 11, 11.0, or 11.00 will be correct.”The petitioner wrote an e-mail to the authorities concerned on June 1 stating that awarding marks to candidates who had not strictly followed the original instructions would affect the marks and ranks of those who had followed the instructions spending time.
