Message

Dear Students, It gives me great pleasure in expressing my thoughts as the Principal of LDRP Institute of Technology and Research. Our institute holds the manifold distinction of being amongst the best when one considers the present status of technical education in Gujarat. The main objective of the college is to cater to the holistic development of students by providing them ample opportunities for their academic, physical, mental, cultural, social, spiritual, and moral enrichment. And hence, I encourage you to follow and internalize the life mission of Rev. Chhaganbha : “Kar Bhala Hoga Bhala”. We are in the process of harvesting the soft skills, overall technical knowledge and confidence building of our students through regular programs by our IEEE Student Branch which will emerge as valuable contributory asset to the development of the nation. It is a matter of great pride to know that IEEE Student Branch of LDRP-ITR is launching its first yearly Magazine “Innovative Bliss”. I convey my best wishes and to the students and faculties on this occasion. Once again I appreciate the efforts put in by the team in bringing out this magazine and bestow my blessings to keep striving for such excellence and keep progressing in your career and life.

From Branch Counsellor’s desk

Dear Friends,

Warm Greetings from IEEE Student Branch LDRP-ITR. I present you all to the first issue of

our SB’s magazine “Innovative Bliss 2014” (Vol.1 Edition. 1). I would like to dedicate this

issue to the student volunteers who have worked really hard since last 2 months to bring

this issue of the magazine, to my fellow colleagues who have supported directly or

indirectly in all of our technical endeavors, the institute management which supported

timely help to the students in many-fold ways.

It is the efforts of all these people that we are able to maintain a positive technical

environment in our institute through various activities, events, magazines, volunteer work

for social cause. These efforts have helped our students to develop their technical,

professional, communicative as well as leadership, team building, strategic thinking and

also their overall self-development. Looking in retrospect, it is a small effort by the student

branch to make a positive impact on the society which is aligned with the mission of IEEE.

I urge my student members to explore new horizons of research and contribute to the

world of innovation. It is a world of Outcome Based Education, so we must define what

outcome we are expecting from every IEEE student member and professional and

accordingly we can design our action plan. Program specific criterion of IEEE for standard

curriculum and faculties can be explored published and implemented across the nation and

I am sure with all these activities we would be able to mark our presence not only in the

sectionwide community but across the nation.

This will make every one aware about standard and formal procedure of perusing research

and professional ethics as well. Use of social media sites, online research forum can be

joined and which can be created at branch level so that we can do networking across the

where in students can join and connect themselves to SIGs of their interest and contribute.

Once again I extend my best wishes to the student community of our branch as well as

institute at large, and wish them great success in all their new endeavors.

About IEEE SB LDRP-ITR

Since the past 125 years IEEE has provided a platform for the students throughout the

world to explore new possibilities in the field of engineering through innovation and

implementation. IEEE activities promote research culture by awarding research grants and

publishing research papers. The penchant for discovering new horizons in research areas

and exploring new technologies has lead to the formation of the IEEE student chapter of

LDRP-ITR. Since its inception ,the aim of our student branch has been to organize technical

and non-technical events during the course of time. By organizing such activities the

students not only gain sound technical knowledge, but are imbibed with leadership skills

and team work. These qualities form an integral part of their multifaceted development.

Our endeavour is to organize IEEE activities on a regular basis along with healthy

participation from members of various student branches.

FROM CHAIRPERSON’S DESK

IEEE is the largest technical professional society in the world that focuses to foster

technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. Participating actively

in IEEE program makes the student communicate with the professional dignitaries and also

helps him/her for the overall development. Members become aware about the technology

through various conferences, magazines, workshops and the prime of all being IEEE

website.

Being the Chairperson of SB, my prime focus will be to make the students of our institute

technically aware and help them build vast networks. In Engineering, only bookish

knowledge won’t make you reach at any position in life instead having a sound and

practical knowledge of the concepts will. Practical knowledge can be achieved through

various sources but the perfect platform for that is IEEE.

I will emphasize on making our student members participate actively in IEEE activities

which will lead to the technical awareness of society as well as the student members which

will result in the upliftment of the society. A small change can result into high output if done

perfectly.

I welcome you all to the IEEE Student Branch LDRP, Gujarat Section, India and hope you all

enjoy reading our SB’s magazine.

Happy Reading.

Thank You!

Hello readers,

IEEE WIE (Women In Engineering) is the largest international professional organization

dedicated to promoting women engineers and retention of women in the technology. With

this as our basic mission, WIE AG LDRP ITR was formed officially on 29th January 2014.

Informally, we have been active since past two years.

We believe in what WIE believes: Making women technically empowered. We envision a

vibrant society where there is no gender disparity and where both men and women work

together cordially striving for innovation and success.

By WIE initiative, we are trying to motivate and develop a feeling of self dependency and

confidence which would ultimately help in achieving higher goals. We aim at making girls

technically adept and confident in such a way that they could create a place for themselves.

Also this would help them in gaining practical knowledge required in the industries which

our current education system fails to provide.

Keeping in view of the above facts, we have organized various technical workshops,

seminars, competitions to give complete exposure to the women of the next generation. Our

magazine gives a brief insight of few of the events we have conducted in recent past. The

impact of women with a technical background is tremendous. It not only makes them

financially independent but also makes them socially empowered. Hence, our mission is

towards encouraging girls to undertake more technical activities, nourish and enhance the

knowledge by involving in more research related programs and provide more latitude for

innovation. And that day is not far when we all will enhance technology on humanitarian

grounds and say “YES, WIE DID IT!”

Best Wishes,

Anjali Jain

WIE-AG LDRP-ITR.

Inaugural Winter

School -Ankit Varshney

IEEE SB LDRP-ITR came with a unique

idea of introducing the concept of

winter school in 2012. It is a technical

celebration of spreading knowledge,

innovating new thing and meeting new

horizons.

Our SB celebrated this event by

organizing a 5 day workshop in

association with LDRP-WIE (Women In

Engineering) on four different topics

namely PHP, JOOMLA, MAGENTO and

ANDROID under the banner of 'Winter

School' from Dec 5, 2012 to Dec 9, 2012.

A total of 50 enthusiastic students

participated in the event. Every student

was given an individual machine to

perform the practicals. Also they were

encouraged to clear their doubts from

the experts present there. The ‘Winter

School’ was inaugurated by Prof. D. T.

Kapadia, the director of LDRP with an

encouraging speech.

Day 1 (Dec 5, 2012) was conducted by

Prof. Ankit Virparia (Assistant professor

in INDUS University), where the

students learnt about PHP, starting with

the introduction to PHP, expert

explained about web2.0, its architecture

and its relation with HTML, CSS and

JavaScript.

Simultaneous Practice on PHP server

Students were constantly encouraged to

ask their doubts to present expert and

all the sessions were very interactive.

Day 2 (Dec 6, 2012) began with the

introduction to Joomla, its installation

and working under the guidance of Mr.

Sunil Kapadia (APTECH Coaching

WOMEN’S DAY

CELEBRATIONS

-Suhani Mehta and Maitri Vaghela

Women’s day, a day to thank and

respect the women who in some or the

other way are involved in making us

independent in this world. And IEEE SB

LDRP-ITR and WIE has celebrated this

day every year with full zeal. In 2013,

the members visited the old age home

and in 2014, they visited a girl school in

village to inspire them to study further

and become strong and independent.

On 8th March 2013, WIE affinity group

in association with IEEE Student Branch

LDRP-ITR, celebrated the International

Women's Day by spending time with the

elderly of "Vanprastha Seva Samaj's

Jeevan Sandhya old age home",

Naranpura, Ahmedabad. About 25

volunteers of LDRP-ITR spent time with

191 members of the "Vruddhashram".

The visit saw games and other fun

activities for the elderly. In one of the

games, the volunteers played a tune and

the elderly were supposed to sing the

song, guess the movie the song was

from, the actor, the actress, the singers

and the music director associated with

the song. Another game was passing the

parcel.

The most thrilling part of the visit was

volunteers v/s elderly "Antakshri"

which saw the elderly reminiscing their

past and smiling at their happy

memories. Afterwards, Mr. Farsubhai

Kakkad thanked us, and then some of

the elderly blessed us and thanked us

for bringing them a family they don't

have.

All the volunteers took a pledge to never

leave their parents and always love

them and take care of them. There was

laughter and tears and smiles-a

perfectly good visit that made the

elderly feel loved and cherished and

respected and special.

Next year, WIE and IEEE SB celebrated

with a mission of ‘promoting education

among girl child’ by WIE Affinity group

and IEEE student branch ,LDRP-ITR at

Kolavada village, Gujarat.

Viraj Shah, an IEEE volunteer, delivered

a motivational speech regarding why it

is importance to pursue education., its

benefits and long term results. With the

Page 25: Innovative_Bliss_Final_Copy

Innovative Bliss

2014

23

aim of making every girl child aware

about the essentiality of

education,various inspirational stories

of struggle and rise of some influential

women were narrated. After

successfully pitching in the idea, a

general survey was conducted as to

ALL INDIA STUDENT

CONGRESS (AISC): MY EXPERIENCE

-Nispand Mehta

Learning new, something innovative is what AISC is all about. And being a part of it is a matter of great pride and honor.

Four students from IEEE-SB LDRP ITR were selected to attend IEEE-All India Student Congress-2013.

Amrita University hosted Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers – All India Student Congress (IEEE-AISC) 2013 at Coimbatore campus from October 3-6, 2014.

IEEE-AISC was an annual leadership

development conclave to bring together

young IEEE student and professional

members for a series of interactions,

knowledge exchange and networking

opportunities.

With Advancing Technology for

Humanities as motto, the three day

student congress attracted over 370

delegates from various IEEE sections all

over India.

Dr. Ponna Vaikko, Chairman, IEEE India

Council and Vice-Chancellor, SRM

University inaugurated the Congress.

“Each IEEE student volunteer can

organize a program to adopt a school

student, to give training, and certificate,

which earns them a better career,” he

advised the student volunteers.

The annual event brought together young IEEE student and professional members for a series of interactive and networking opportunities.

Spanned over three days, the congress

turned out to be an informative yet an

enjoyable experience for all of us. The

first three days elucidated the various

dimensions of IEEE and its host of

functionalities, along with a number of

fun packed and exciting events. The

fourth day catered to raise the

awareness and bring in more

involvement into two societies namely,

IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Power

and Energy Society.

The first three days included talks by IEEE experts. It aimed at providing impetus for its participants to observe, assimilate and learn from many inspiring sessions.

We had the opportunity to attend an

elite panel discussion and workshops on

entrepreneurship, where we learned

from experienced IEEE leaders and

interacted with three young successful

entrepreneurs. Vijay Anand, Co-founder

and CEO, The Startup Centre, spoke to

the delegates, “Entrepreneurship is

Page 27: Innovative_Bliss_Final_Copy

always experimental. We need time and

effort to become an entrepreneur. Do

not try to copy while you want to be an

entrepreneur. You have resourcefulness

and need to have dedication towards

your work,” he pointed out.

“Indians are born with ‘jugaad’ innovative

ideas providing a quick and alternative way

of solving a problem”, noted Priya Kuber,

Managing Director of Arduino India.

Vineeth Vijayaraghavan, Founder and

Editor of Panchabhuta, an independent

journal in the field of renewable energy,

emphasized about social

entrepreneurship.

Technical talks on IEEE sections and

activities, career consultation also held.

33 shortlisted innovative projects from

numerous submissions across the

nation were showcased. The event also

witnessed the felicitation of M. V.

Chauhan All India Student Paper Contest

2013 winners organized by Indian

Council. The main IEEE Society event was the innovative project showcase that was

conducted on Sunday where 33 projects have been short-listed from numerous submissions across the nation.

And our project on the theme “EMF Radiation Compliance Report as per DOT guidelines” won the 2nd prize among them.

The All India Student Congress 2013

was a never before like opportunity for

us to interact with and learn from

various leaders and the top brass of

IEEE. .

The congress provided impetus for us to

observe, assimilate and learn from many

inspiring sessions and thereby evolve as

better leaders for taking on the

challenges ahead. It was also a unique

opportunity for students from various

disciplines and institutions to interact

and exchange ideas and hence benefit

mutually. A live webcast of the congress was being done on all days.

“From AISC 2013, I gained lot of understanding in the field of technology,”

A Parley with

Dr. Radha Parikh -Maitri Vaghela

Dr. Radha Parikh obtained her M.Ed. and

Ed.S. degrees in Special Education from

the University of Florida, and her Ph.D. in

Special Education (with Information

Technology as support area) from the

University of Missouri-Columbia. Her

interest areas include Communication &

Counseling. Currently she is an assistant

professor at Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of

Information & Communication

Technology (DA-IICT), Gandhinagar.

Apart from teaching and research, she has

been the Convener of the DA-IICT Gender

Cell for the last 5 years. She has learned

that in a male dominant world, women

need empowerment to learn their own

capabilities and skills. And we were proud

and honored to have a parley with her….

What triggered your interest in studying

cultural stereotypes?

I've been uncomfortable with our general

tendency to indulge in cultural

stereotypes without giving it a thought on

even the simplest of issues (such as all

Marwadis are stingy, all Gujaratis are

business types, all south Indians or even

Madrasis - note not Tamilian, not Andhra,

not Kannadiga, not Malayali or Coorgi -

merely all Madrasis eat rice, or eat with

their hands or only eat idli sambar!! all

women cry, all girls are weak in Math,

etc.). Are we really living in such a biased

world of over-generalization in this age of

technology?! Ignorance or lack of

awareness underlies most such behaviors.

What have you discovered about how

these stereotypes are communicated, and

what is the impact on women who believe

these stereotypes to be true?

As far as women are concerned, we are

expected to live up to traditional

stereotypes of Savithri who walked the

path of death with Lord Yama to bring her

dead husband back to life; or Sita who

went on a self-imposed exile, self-

immolation on return to prove her purity

and so on. These expectations are

communicated through subtle messages

inherent in our celebration of festivals

where the unwed girl fasts and prays for a

good husband or the wife fasts and prays

for the long and prosperous life of her

husband. In our culture, there is no norm

where men are expected to do sacrificial

rituals for the women. The sad part of life

is that most myths about expectations

from women are promoted by women

themselves. On the other hand with

Western influence we have the Barbie

equivalent types too - cute girls in pink,

with frilly dresses and dimpled flirting!

That doesn't help either. Today, while

urban women are learning to be more

assertive with access to higher education

and career choices earlier open only to

men, women in the villages and suburbs

Page 29: Innovative_Bliss_Final_Copy

Innovative Bliss

2014

27

continue to be embroiled in old belief

systems difficult to get out of. Most girls

in rural settings have low self-esteem and

zero ambitions about life. Parents must

learn to treat sons and daughters as equal

and bring them up with equal hopes

striving for long term goals.

What can women do to overcome barriers

that can stop them from pursuing career

in engineering domain?

There are ways to encourage women

across India, not just the elite urban

women, to make wise career choices of

their interest, and not based on what is

the typical expectation: "after all she will

soon marry and not be allowed to work -

therefore a B.Sc. or B.A. is sufficient

education."

Right now, the Government has launched

a multi-pronged approach to promoting

education for girls, including incentives

such as free bus travel, provision of a cyle

where bus service is not available, midday

meals, and providing farmer parents with

grain to make up for the loss of one labour

hand from the farm.

Teachers from middle school onwards can

talk about career choices to both the boys

and girls in their classes, so that as many

girls as boys choose to join the Science

stream based on interest, and not opt for

Arts or Commerce only. At higher

secondary level, there are aptitude tests

that can help assess students' potential

success in a particular career, guiding

them in making wise choices.

All of you who are girls in engineering

here, know that you are part of a

privileged few who have had the bounty

of a quality education and so you would

be the right people to encourage other

girls to study further.

How do you comprehend your journey

with so many feathers in your cap?

I'm not sure about the feathers :-) But

I'm happy to say that my life journey has

been one long study trip; completing my

first Master's degree in Literature after my

first child; completing my second Master's

in Education and M.Phil. (or Ed.S. as it's

known in the US) after my second child

and the last my Ph.D. after the third child.

The three kids are the real feathers

without doubt! and the education is part

of my commitment to be a good role

model for them.

Your achievements are unparalleled, what

message would you like to convey to the

youth?

My message to young people is to never

lose hope; learn to introspect to know

who you are and at the end of day decide

if you are happy with your day, your work,

and your interactions. If you're not happy,

change is necessary and that can only

come from an intrinsic need within you to

change; nothing that a parent or teacher

or any adult in your life tells you will

motivate you as much as your wish to

empower yourself.

A lot of time is spent on social networking

sites which may have some benefits but

Page 30: Innovative_Bliss_Final_Copy

Innovative Bliss

2014

28

overall you lose track of time and then it's

difficult to remain on task in academics.

Good to remain focused and aware of all

the injustice that goes on in the world and

think of solutions to stop these from

happening. Only youth can do this! You

have the power! you are the future of the

world!

As for women, we have proved time and

again our ability to multi-task and excel.

So being an engineer will in no way reduce

a girl's ability to cook and serve a tasty

meal for her family; or reduce her capacity

to share love, caring and nurture with her

family.

God created man and woman equal.

When the two wings of a bird are equal in

power, civilization can progress further.

PHOTOSHOP- AN

EVENT WORTH

ATTENDING

-Suhani Mehta

As we know, in this fast changing world

only coding will not help. Designing is

important as well. Taking into account

this point, IEEE SB of our college

decided to conduct a workshop on

Photoshop. Photoshop is such a tool

which can give fire to the designer

minds. And encouraging these minds

was our motto behind organizing this

workshop.

A two day workshop on Photoshop

Designing was conducted by WIE in

association with IEEE on 17th and 18th

September, 2013.The expert, Mr.Jigar

Patel, had 8 years of work experience in

teaching Photoshop. Around 52

students enthusiastically participated in

the event.

The event commenced with an

introductory briefing about the work

qualifications of the expert. Then the

command was taken over by the expert

who began the session by enlightening

the students regarding the Photoshop,

the carrier opportunities associated

with taking up Photoshop Designing as a

profession (photo design artist, web

designer etc), its demand in the current

market and benefits.

On Day1 (17th September), initially the

expert guided through the basic

installation of Photoshop software CS2

in PCs. Then he began briefing about the

basics of Photoshop like workspace,

types of images, file manipulation, file

opening, cropping, creating and resizing

an image.

Then began the main session where core

topics like platelets/panels, adjustment-

retouching, spot healing, various types of

tools (clone, blur, dodge, marquee, lasso etc)

were taught in detail.

On Day2 (19th September), the contents

included detailed explanation and

implementation of topics like selection,

layer, transform, filter, text, style and a

few practical assignments.

The event ended with the declaration of

a poster making competition in which

the participant with the best poster on

the upcoming IEEE Student Branch,

LDRP-ITR event on intensive C++ will be

provided with cool prizes and that

witnessed a handsome number of

participants already excited for the

competition. Overall, it was a great

effort by all the volunteers and students

without whose kind cooperation; it

would not have been possible to

manage.

SIG (SPECIAL

INTEREST

GROUPS) -Hemant Soni IEEE SB of our college believes in

learning in all the ways possible. This

belief led to the formation of Special

Interest Groups (SIGs) in our SB. The

main motto of this initiative is to spread

technical knowledge to as many IEEE

members in our college as we can.

Special Interest Groups are formed by

students who share special interest in a

particular field and work together in

that field after college hours on every

Saturday.

The first SIG was on HTML from basics

to advance. The entire EXECOM member

participated in the event. The students

were taught the format as well as the

tags and also given some practicals to

perform. Also they were encouraged to

clear their doubts from the experts

present there. The experts were the

students who had grip in that particular

topic.

Next SIG, We had a session on C++. It

included the basics of C++, its

implementation, advanced C++ and all

the other topics in it. The students were

very much interested to learn. The

sessions were always interactive.

The Members were allowed to choose

their own interest topics. Also the

students worked to prove their

efficiency. And this continued every

Saturday with different topics and

Experts.

WOMEN

EMPOWERMENT

-Suhani Mehta and Keta Modi

IEEE SB of LDRP-ITR believes in training

in its members to face every problem

whether it is technical or social. They

make its members independent in all

the ways. This was our motto to conduct

this workshop.

On 15th March 2013, under Xenesis-an

annual technological festival of LDRP-

ITR, WIE affinity group in association

with IEEE Student Branch, LDRP-ITR,

organized a workshop on Women

Empowerment. The basic aim of this

workshop was to empower the girls,

teaching them how to defend

themselves physically-thereby

empowering themselves as an equal in

the society.

The session started with a motivational

speech by Mr. Arvind Rana, an

international Taekwondo player. He

assured the participants that women are

not weak as they pursue themselves to

be but very strong both mentally and

physically. He explained that women are

built in a different way and if they play

to their strengths, they can empower

themselves and can live confidently in

the knowledge that they can protect

themselves and are equal in the battle of

sexes.

Afterwards, the session was undertaken

by Mr. Gaurang Rana, who has been

training boys and girls in Taekwondo

since 20 years.

This session was an entirely practical

session which aimed at teaching the

participants some basic moves of

Taekwondo that are not at all difficult

but can come to defence when a girl is

placed under critical condition.

The participants actively participated as

the session was fun and educating at the

same time. Mr. Rana, along with his

assistants, demonstrated various

situations that count under critical

conditions and how to react under those

situations, and also perfected the

participants' moves.

The event also witnessed a lucky draw

in which a few participants were

awarded gifts like pepper sprays and

personal alarms that can prove handy

for self defence. At the end of the

session, despite having learnt self

defence for the first time, no participant

felt like an amateur but had a slightly

more confidence in the knowledge that

they need not be afraid.

WOMEN IN

ENGINEERING

(WIE)

-Suhani Mehta and Keta Modi

LDRP-ITR IEEE Student Branch

organized a seminar in association with

IEEE WIE on Women in Engineering as a

part of Technical Festival XENESIS-2013

on 16th April, 2013. It mainly focused

on what women in the engineering field

can actually do in engineering apart

from what they do. Making women think

out of the box and bringing on all the

colors out which actually are there in

women to make her completely

developed.

There were a total of 60 girl participants

in the event.

Dr. Savita Gandhi, Professor and Head of

Department in Gujarat University, gave

a brief idea on the various topics of

mathematics. After her session Shreya

Rajani and Avani, students of Marwadi

Education Institute and

active members of IEEE WIE, took over

the session. They explained the

participants all about IEEE WIE, and the

benefits of being a WIE member.

Their session also included topics like

empowerment of women in various

fields, entrepreneurship in women.

There were various activities so that the

participants could be interactive. The

activities included a quiz about the

women who have achieved great

heights.

It was one of the interactive session

which resulted into flow of knowledge

and awareness about IEEE WIE.

IEEEXtreme-The

event most awaited -Maitri Vaghela and Nispand Mehta

IEEEXtreme is a global challenge in

which teams of IEEE Student members,

supported by an IEEE Student Branch,

advised and proctored by an IEEE

member; compete in a 24-hour time

span against each other to solve a set of

programming problems.

On 27th of October 2013, IEEE Student

Branch LDRP-ITR decided to host the

IEEE’s most famous and most awaiting

coding competition IEEE Xtreme 7.0. A total of 29 students participated in

competition forming 11 teams between

them. College authorities gave us the

permission to use the Internet Lab for

24 hours thus they allowed us to stay in college for 24 hours provided a faculty should stay with students as a mentor. For this Prof.Nirav Suthar took the charge and agreed to take the responsibility of students staying at college for competition.

Competing in the world’s most Xtreme

programming contest is a big deal; by

participating means you get unlimited

bragging rights. Competition started at morning 7.00

a.m of 27th October and lasted till early

morning 5.00 a.m of 28th October.

Competition was hosted on

Hackerrank.com where participants

were provided with online accounts on

which problem sums were uploaded

and new sums were uploaded from time

to time. Sums consisted of different difficulty

level starting from basic input/output

problems to problems that were

adverse.

The misconception that about such

type of coding competitions that it is all

type of coding and no fun was proved

wrong after the event saw a great

amount of team work. The teams not

only coded but also but also proved

this quote very efficiently “individually

we are drop but together we are an

ocean”.

Page 39: Innovative_Bliss_Final_Copy

And the results were outstanding. One of our team ADKcoders achieved a remarkable 261th rank at R10 level and was at 1st rank in the university. The other team VMprogrammers was at 392

rank at R10 level and 2nd in the

university. The team technocoders were

at 494 at R1o level and #rd in the

university. 10 teams from the university

qualified.

This competition was also successful

because the participants who

participated in this competition for the

first time were successful in removing

this fear from participating in such

type of competitons.Students generally

feels that they are not capable enough

to participate in this type of events, but

unless you participate in this type of

competitions you won’t come to know

about your capabalities, limitations and

solutions to improve yourself.
