The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. Inspiring teachers alone can build the nation with students’ power. The Christ College is committed in building the nation by making its faculty members the great teachers who not only inspires but innovates. Therefore, the Faculty Development Programme for teaching staff members and non-teaching staff members were conducted separately on 14th and 15th June 2019. As per the schedule, the staff members were taken to Mount Olive OBT – Leadership Development Institute at Othivakkam village, Kachipuram district. Mr. Jesuraj Santiago, Ex. CRPF and a renowned trainer who is also a specialist in providing leadership development and team building training for corporate industries and the academic institutions. He welcomed everyone and offered a brief introduction about the training programme. It was so inspiring that the faculty members were self motivated to participate various games and events as part of skill development programme. It was a different sort of experience to stand in the middle surrounded by flowers, plants and trees that extends five acres. Playing games under a good trainer in a village atmosphere was so refreshing. All the sessions were enlightening and enthusiastic. With a renewed zeal, the inspired faculty members determined to carry the enthusiasm throughout the academic year. BRIDGE COURSE – AN INDUCTION PROGRAMME FOR THE 1ST YEAR STUDENTS Adopting the new environment, alleviating fear, self motivation, improving communication and voluntary participation are the objectives of conducting Bridge Course. The Bridge course is offered for the first ten days to bridge the gap between school and college life providing with the basic understanding of the subjects they study. The Bridge course was successfully conducted from 24th June to 5th July for the academic year 2019-2020. The students were offered the basics of English, Mathematics, Accountancy and computer applications by the respective 3 staff members who handle the subjects. Motivation and value education were also occupied the schedule. Beside all these, a special and individual training was offered to improve their handwriting. Sincere thanks to Rev.Fr. Louis Vembliath, the Rector, Christ College, for his dedication and commitment in teaching the techniques of handwriting. A special thanks to the Department of English for coordinating the course successfully. CLASS COUNSELORS Inculcating academic interest and nurturing discipline are the two eyes of Christ College. A continuous and comprehensive evaluation is the key to achieve these and therefore we introduced class counselor system. The faculty members are appointed for each class from the department to look after the overall development of each student individually. It is a unique system where the students emotional well being is checked once in often, through personal guidance and counseling, to enable their progress in academics and help the personality development.

  • The Transit Tales
    VENUS IN INDIA1: ♀☉ THE TRANSIT TALES R C Kapoor [email protected], [email protected] Indian Institute of Astrophysics ABSTRACT This work is about sightings and astronomical observations of transits of Venus across the disk of the Sun made from the Indian region. The sources of the information presented here range from some classic texts and historiographies, publications and records of institutions and chronicles to accounts by some individuals. Of particular interest is the 1761 transit, observed from top of the Governor’s house, Fort St George, Madras by the Rev. William Hirst who made a significant observation – of having seen at the moments of ingress a nebulosity about the planet. That in fact is the discovery of atmosphere of Venus, duly recorded in his communication as presented in the Vol. 52 of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. The discovery of atmosphere of Venus has been attributed to Mikhail Lomonosov alone that he made during the same transit observed from the St. Petersburg Observatory. Key words: transits of Venus, transit observations from India, discovery of atmosphere around Venus. April 2012 1 VENUS IN INDIA1: ♀☉ THE TRANSIT TALES R C Kapoor [email protected], [email protected] Indian Institute of Astrophysics INTRODUCTION Transits of planets across the disk of the Sun are among the most fascinating phenomena in the Solar System astronomy. As seen from the Earth, transits of only Mercury and Venus are possible. These have held great importance in early telescopic astronomy when the transits enabled astronomers to determine, using triangulation, the solar parallax with an unprecedented accuracy and size up the Solar System.

  • Organic Cultivation: Learning from the Enabavi Example
    Organic cultivation: learning from the Enabavi example Inspiration: The small village attracts farmers and policy makers. -Photo: special arrangement Is it possible to get a good yield without using chemical fertilizers? Will a shift to organic affect our food security? Can we manage insect pests without using pesticides? Will organic cultivation still be profitable for farmers? These are some of the often asked questions by farmers when problems of modern agriculture are being discussed. Enabavi, a small village in Warangal district, Andhra Pradesh promises to answer all these. Situated off the Hyderabad-Warangal highway near Jangaon town, Enabavi is today an inspiration for many other villages and farmers, thanks to the efforts of the local organization called CROPS (Centre for Rural Operations Programmes Society) supported by the Centre for Sustainable Agriculture (CSA). Visitors This small village attracts visitors ranging from farmers to policy makers who want to understand the concept of successful sustainable agriculture. In the last three years more than 10,000 people have visited this village. “Commercial crops like cotton are the main crops grown in the district. From 1997 onwards, large numbers of farmers’ suicides have been reported from this district. In the middle of this distress, Enabavi showed the resolve of a strong community which decided to take control of its agriculture in its own hands. “With just 51 households belonging mostly to the backward castes, the village started shifting to non-chemical farming about a decade ago. In 2005-06, the entire 282 acres was converted to organic farming. There is strong social regulation within the community towards organic cultivation to ensure that there are no ‘erring farmers” says Dr.

  • Water-Distribution Efforts in Madras: from Sailor George Baker (1750S) to Engineers John Jones, Hormusji Nowroji and James Madeley (1870S–1920S)
    HISTORICAL NOTES Water-distribution efforts in Madras: from sailor George Baker (1750s) to engineers John Jones, Hormusji Nowroji and James Madeley (1870s–1920s) Anantanarayanan Raman and Natarajan Meenakshisundaram Madras (now Chennai) has been, and is, an acutely water-scarce city. Today the city’s landscape has un- dergone substantial changes losing many of its reservoirs. In this context, here we highlight the efforts made in distributing water to Madras residents from the late 17th to the early 20th centuries. In the 1770s, George Baker, a sailor, dug large wells in the ‘Seven Wells Street’. In the late 1860s, James Fraser (Madras Engi- neers Corps?) proposed to the Government at Fort St. George that the Kôsasŧalai river should be accessed for water for Madras and the water be stored in the now near-extinct Spur Tank. Kilpauk – about a kilometre away from the Spur Tank – was chosen, instead, because of cost. The Madras-Municipal Water Works (MMWW) at Kilpauk was formally launched in 1872. Although the Government of Madras owned the MMWW, the Corporation of Madras (CoM) retained the responsibility of day-to-day water distribution. In the 1880s, John Alfred Jones, executive engineer, CoM, improved the open channel that delivered water from the Red-Hills reservoir to Kilpauk. He proposed construction of filter beds in MMWW. In 1903, an Indian engineer Hormusji Nowroji from the Government service was seconded to CoM. During his stay with CoM until 1912, Nowroji worked on improving water distribution. He submitted a report to the Government, the Nowroji Report, untraceable today. James Madeley from Manchester, UK, was appointed as the Special Engineer to CoM, in-charge of drainage works.

  • An Introspection of the Megalithic Complex of Mudumala-Murardoddi, Andhra Pradesh
    1 1 An Introspection of the Megalithic Complex of Mudumala-Murardoddi, Andhra Pradesh *Dr. Priya Thakur Introduction- This present paper continues a thread of the discussion by the author from the previous article on ‘Prehistoric Stone Alignments in Southern India’1 published by “Central India Journal of Historical And Archaeological Research” (CIJHAR), Vol, 2, No, 6, April-June, 2013. This paper will be discussing the megalithic sites of Mudumala and Murardoddi, located in Mahabubnagar, Andhra Pradesh. The term ‘megalith’ is derived from the Greek word ‘megathos’ i.e. huge and ‘lithos’ i.e. stone. The traditional definition of megalith describe it as a grave or a memorial erected in stone, dressed or in natural form confined, enclosed or erected over the funerary assemblage. 2 The megalithic complex is of enormous scale and represents intricate planning of its standing stones, avenues and circles and can be compared with similar findings in Europe.3 In this region, it is not rare to find an overlap between megalithic to early historic period. The megalithic funerary structures in this geographical terrain are spread over a chronological period form 600 BC to 200 AD.4 Location- The stone alignment is spread in two villages – Mudumala and Murardoddi in Makthal taluk on the banks of Krishna River, on the border of Raichur district of Karnataka and Mahbubnagar district of Andhra Pradesh. Taylor5 also writes about the abundance of such sites in the region of rivers - Bhima, Krishna and Tungabhadra of modern day northern Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The assemblage is spread over an area containing artifacts of different cultures ranging from middle Paleolithic (Mesolithic) to megalithic period to late historic *Assistant Professor, P.

As the British East India Company's non-trading activities increased and it came to control more and more territory, many of its officers started making astronomical observations for the determination of latitudes and longitudes. Surveying instru­ ments were thus in great demand. They could be purchased from England or from the captains and crew of the European ships. When an officer died or left the country, his surveying instruments would find ready buyers. In the early days, it was not the policy of the Company to supply surveying instruments to its officers.
