What you are reading now actually marks the first
substantial make-over of the Galgotias University Newsletter
– The G-Post. We have grown with you, learning along the
way, as happens in every great adventure, and I think you all
will love the changes you see – new voices, new ideas, and
new layout. Its existence has made sure that you all have a
convenient way to give voice to your feelings, share ideas,
report events and, exchange opinions on various issues. It's
been little over a year and half when its first issue was
published. The G-Post may have been started by a handful of
enthusiastic faculty members but in a fairly short period it
has become a medium to convey and exchange the feelings and ideas of the student
fraternity at Galgotias.
It gives us immense satisfaction having reached this small milestone in this journey
of The G-Post. And, your precious company provides us with a reason to look beyond.
We treasure this feeling of togetherness. We have tried to share opinions and ideas
on different topics through this newsletter in addition to the reporting of various
activities happening at Galgotias University. In a way, The G-Post has been like the
journal of our journey - a journey full of life and fun!
There have been quite a few ups and downs while coming all the way down to this
issue, and there is no doubt that it will continue to be so in accordance with what we
feel and how we respond to our emotions. But one thing is pretty sure: through this
platform we have managed to rediscover and showcase our hidden talents.
As The G-Post strives to achieve excellence, it always encourages the student to come
up with something innovative. We believe that an open door policy is the only way
forward. However, if there is no willingness or enthusiasm, there’s no point. The
G-Post once again urges all the students and faculty members to submit their crea-
tive ideas in whatever form possible. In this context, let me share with you few lines
from one of my poems:
Today may start without you
but tomorrow shouldn't
People always look forward to
waking up the next day
We hope that you like the new updated look of the cover page of this issue. While
The G-Post writers and their articles form the foundation of our newsletter, the
editorial team wants to ensure that our readers receive this information in the most
exciting, aesthetically appealing, and informative way possible. We endeavor to
maintain the rich tradition and history of The G-Post by always putting the content of
our articles first. We have maintained a focus on reporting various activities
happening in and about Galgotias University, explored areas of student interest and
kept features like ‘Know Your Teacher’ and ‘Global Pursuit’ that have long been
present in the newsletter. In this issue, we are introducing three new features called
‘Featured Story’, ’Honor Role’, and ‘Book Review’.
If it is your first time reading this newsletter, we would like to welcome you. Please
take a look of the archives (online) and browse through the write-ups. We believe
that you will find the stuff interesting and informative. And if you’re a regular
reader, thank you so much for your loyal support because The G-Post would not have
existed without you. Cheers!
Prof. (Dr.) Deependra Kumar Jha

Galgotias University yet again
moves a step ahead in providing
technological and updated
education to its students. This
time it is the IBM-GU
collaboration for B.Tech (CSE)
Program. The inauguration
towards this initiative took
place at the lawns of Galgotias
University on 25th February,
2013.This collaborative
program is intended to impart
quality education to our
students keeping in mind the requirements of both the academia and industry in the field of computing discipline for the
socio economic development. The curriculum for the program has been arrived at jointly through brain storming sessions
spread over several days. The existing GU B. Tech. (CSE) program is being suitably dovetailed with the curricular component
developed at IBM ICE (Innovation Centre for Education) with emphasis on either futuristic technology such as Cloud
Computing and Virtualization, Open Source Software and Open Standards or industry domain areas such as Healthcare
Informatics, Telecom Informatics, Retail Informatics. A collaborative Online Learning Platform iCos (Innovation Centre for
Open Standards) under the scheme is being provided to facilitate interaction among the community of students, faculty, IBM
Subject Matter Experts and other professionals from computing industry.
Talking about this initiative towards a new education paradigm, Mr. Phil Tasker, World Wide Director IBM, chief guest of the
ceremony discussed about how the subjects like ‘Cloud Computing and Virtualisation’ and ‘Open Source Software and Open
Standards’ will foster the B.Tech (Computer Science) students in defining their career. The other dignitaries present were Mr.
Suneel Galgotia, Mr. Dhruv Galgotia, Prof.(Dr.) Ashok Saxena, Prof.(Dr.) Balaji Rajagopalan, Prof. M. Khalid and Prof. Shyam
Tickoo. The ceremony started with welcoming of the chief guest and his IBM team, followed by lighting of the lamp.
The prizes were distributed to the winners of the poster competition which was based on ‘Cloud Computing and
Virtualization’ and ‘Open Source Software and Open Standards’. The event concluded with the vote of thanks given by Dr.
Avadhesh Kumar, Dean Planning, Galgotias University.

We value your feedback
We are always interested in your views about your experience of reading The G-Post. Your comments and
suggestions on various articles will help us provide you the best reading experience. We welcome your
feedback and expect you to write at
newsletter@galgotiasunivrsity.edu.in.
We are also pleased to share some of the observations of our readers about previous issue of the newsletter.
In a rather short period G-post has blazed a trail by tearing apart the prosaic boundaries of just a newsletter. It has
achieved this by filling the vacuum of a space long felt to be justified for the canonically preserved window onto the
world of Galgotias University. G-post has found its own niche in the academic spheres of our activities and
engagements. we think that one need not just write and read stuff for readers, readers, by virtue of being readers, may
also contribute to the entire process of writing, reading, understanding, sharing and dissemination of ideas. The fact
that this has been possible thanks to the endeavours of so many minds strung out on flattened line is something to be
welcome and appreciated. We strongly hope that G-post will continue to cater and be conducive to the growth of fine
creative writing adventures.
The G-Post has been disseminating very valuable information about GU. The pics are very thought provoking and interesting.
Dr. Pradeep Kulshrestha, Professor, School of Law, Galgotias University
The G– Post captures current trends, issues and activities (workshops, celebrations, interviews, industrial visits,
international students events, various students clubs, and even examination!!). It helps to keep us updated with GU activities
for planning in advance, the academic calendar and curriculum planning.
Malti Thomas, Principal, School of Nursing, Galgotias University
The G-Post is a very informative Magazine. Is not only encourages the faculty and students to showcase their literary talents
but also their academic achievements. It is also a very successful medium to highlight the achievements of the University. It
could be very useful if it finds a little more, wider circulation. Probably it could be also posted in our website/face book/you-
tube as an e-magazine as well.
Prof .(Dr.) Sally Lukose, Division Chair, Division of Forensic Science, Galgotias University
It acts just like an awareness alarm for the students and helps a lot to be aware of what is going on and what’s
going to happen around us.
Anurag Singh, B.Tech (CSE)
It is the best objective format to extract and to create and develop a lot of talent from us and for us. Particularly I
loved nihar’s sir column the most .It was fun with awareness.
Nikta Arya, B.B.A
I have read The G-Post it’s was really very helpful for me regarding my career and it helped me a lot to attain
in depth knowledge about my own university.
Piyush Chaturvedi, B.Tech(M.E)

It was a day of another achievement for Galgotias University on 25th April 2013. Galgotias University (GU) and
National Board of Accreditation (NBA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with an objective to facilitate
improvement in the quality and relevance of technical education through accreditation of programs in Engineering and
Technology. Through this strategic alliance, NBA recognizes the capabilities of GU for creating awareness and conducting
training on Outcome Based Education (OBE) and Outcome Based Accreditation (OBA), Faculty Development Program (FDP)
for identification and training of resource persons and evaluators and other education and training programs of NBA in the
areas of Engineering & Technology.
During the MoU signing ceremony at the NBA Central Office, New
Delhi, the dignitaries present were Dr. D K Paliwal (Member
Secretary, NBA), Dr. Ashok Saxena (Vice Chancellor, GU), Dr. D K
Jha (Senior Dean, GU), and Mr. A S Mathur (Registrar, GU) among
others.
During the occasion, both NBA and GU expressed their desire to
collaborate in promoting specific training programs/faculty
development programs based on the new Outcome based
Education and Accreditation. NBA has declared Galgotias
University as one of its Nodal Centers. This MoU is going to be
significant for capacity building for OBA and OBE as envisaged by
the NBA as it strives to become the permanent signatory of the
Washington Accord.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP WITH DR. ARJUN MALHOTRA
Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won't, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most
people can't.
With the sun heading west, glowing red at 4pm, the pioneer of Indian IT industry Dr. Arjun Malhotra stepped upon the
podium in the Galgotias University. The auditorium was packed to its full capacity with students flooding in to gain as much
as possible out of this lifetime opportunity. Dr. Malhotra had co-founded HCL group in 1975, taking it from a six person in
grandmother’s bar sati, to a US $6 billion IT corporation. Being the master of his field, and after getting funding from
Goldman Sachs he founded Techspan in 1998 and soon became CEO of Headstrong and thus merging Headstrong and
Techspan. An eminent engineering name, the epitome for entrepreneurs, stepped forward to share his experiences and
wisdom with the students. The down to earth and informally clad personality had enough charisma about him to make the
audience spellbound and wondering.
He gave his mantra, “I want you to become entrepreneur then have passion, earning at that point doesn’t matter at all”. He
defined entrepreneurship as not simply a rational journey but as one that is defined by passion and personal satisfaction that
transcends purely financial analysis and, of course, there is always the hope for the big payout, no matter how long the odds
are. Talking about entrepreneurships, the Albert Einstein Technology medal awardee, talks about the guts and passion of
doing it. He emphasized on the fact that one needs to have an “I can change the World” attitude, unwavering optimism and
the creativity in order to make it worthy. Answering the questions of students, he remembered the days when he had to
spend nights at Dhanbad Railway Station and iterated that the challenges will always be there, what’s required is a strong
heart which can bear them. The 64 year old gentleman, unfolded many chapters of his life and ignited a spark among the
students for doing something different, something that’s not too mainstream.
As 6 new steps in the market in 1975 made US $100 million avenues and grew HCL operations in Hong Kong, Australia and
New Zealand, he is very sure that in upcoming year many such steps would take strides long enough to make India a global
leader.

From the Office of the International Relations ……
Galgotias University from its inception has a strong focus to international-
ise the University through not only admitting foreign students, but also
build up strong academic partnerships between GU and institutions abroad
for developing need based and innovative programs and research to meet the global challenges.
These activities have resulted in strategic international partnerships with reputed higher education institutions in other
countries that not only assist in creating a distinctive international educational experience for our students, but also allow
the University to maintain an active presence in the international academic community.
During the months of April and May a few more such strategic partnerships have been forged with the following
universities:
The University of Maryland - Smith School of Business. Through this MoU
Galgotias University and the University of Maryland have agreed on the following-
1. A semester of study for GU students at UMD and vice versa for students of UMD.
2. The second specific agreement with the Smith school of Business at UMD is for
MBA students wherein the students would complete the 1st year of their Galgotias MBA
program in India, then go to the Smith School for one year to receive their MSB –
Masters in Supply Chain Management, and finally finish the 2nd year of their Galgotias
MBA program back in India.
3. This MoU also involves faculty exchange and exchange in research areas.
Georgia Tech,Atlanta,Georgia, USA-: The MoU with Georgia Tech is to enable GU
students to study at Georgia Tech for a semester and for Georgia Tech students to
attend classes in GU. Also Georgia Tech would provide consulting services to Galgo-
tias in developing academic programs and obtaining accreditation and short term
faculty exchanges.
University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, USA The MoU with the University of
Arkansa, USA, is for Exchange of Faculty, Exchange of Students, Collaborative
Programs and seminars and research activities. The two universities have
agreed to encourage research collaboration in the areas of mutual interest
through a program of visiting faculty and graduate student exchange for
periods of up to one year. The two institutions will also co-operate on
exchanging academic, research and other educational materials.
InterNapa College Cyprus. InterNapa College is a college in Cyprus and is registered with the Cy-
prus Ministry of Education and authorized to offer Certificates, Diploma and Bachelor Level De-
grees. GU students from Hospitality and Business Administration will have the opportunity to
transfer to InterNapa College to complete 1 or 2 years of their course. The memorandum also calls
for collaboration in research, instruction, and faculty exchange between both the universities.

11
Anglia Ruskin University, UK -Another MoU with the Anglia Ruskin University was
signed specifically for the students of Civil Engineering to provide them an opportunity to
study in the UK . Under this arrangement students will study three years of the B Tech Civil
Engineering programme at Galgotias University and will be transferred to the third year of
a BEng Civil Engineering at Anglia Ruskin University in the UK. On successful completion of
the third year, Anglia Ruskin University will award them a BEng Civil Engineering Degree
which will immediately give them an Incorporated Engineer status with the Institution of
Civil Engineers – the association which qualifies professionals engaged in civil engineering.
The MOU was signed by the Vice Chancellors of both the universities -Professor Michael Thorne, Vice Chancellor of Anglia
Ruskin University and Professor Ashok Saxena, Vice Chancellor, Galgotias University in the presence of Mr. Suneel
Galgotia, Chancellor, Galgotias University.
All these strategic partnerships will assist in creating a distinctive international educational experience for GU students and
the international office invites everyone to take advantage of such opportunities and make full use of them.

Galgotias University has closed its final
placement process for the first batch of 2011-13
MBA students of the School of Business,
successfully, for everyone participating in the
process. The recruiters have placed continued
trust in the brand Galgotias as a preferred
destination for talent sourcing. The placement
period has been a hectic flurry of organized
action. About 125 companies visited the
campus for the placement process. Recruiters
enthusiastically participated in the process and
offered diversified profiles to the students. This
is due to the consistent efforts put in by
everyone in the Placements Team, coupled with
the unparalleled support from the Management
and its members.
The size of the graduating batch was 272 and the students were placed across consulting, BFSI and IB, FMCG and
Pharmaceutical, Retail and E-Commerce, Manufacturing and Conglomerates, Tnd telecom and IT companies. The placements
season also saw active participation from several of the mid-cap and small-cap companies, with students taking greater
interest in exploring opportunities with such organiza-
tions offering challenging roles.
The banks and financial institutions which recruited the
students included ICICI Securities, IndusInd Bank,
Standard Chartered Bank, RBS, American Express,
Indiabulls, India Infoline and Fidelity, from real estate
sector like Supertech, PropTiger, Earth Infrastructures
Ltd, Cosmic Group etc, from retail like Vishal Mega Mart,
V-Mart, Vero Moda etc, from travel and tourism sector
like Country Club, Design My Holidays, Holiday India
Destination, Laurent and Benon, Savoy Suites, Radisson
Blu etc, from education & training sector like Jaro
Education, Alert Knowledge, Hindustan Times Learning
Centre, ICE etc.
The credit for the excellent placement goes to the
Galgotias Advantage . In the very initial years of its
existence, Galgotias University has developed its own unique culture. The university culture is such that it accelerates the
members’ passion for achieving excellence in eve-
rything that they do. The hall mark of this identity
is, not to walk on the beaten path but to strike new
chords, to be second to none but to be the first to
respond to the needs of the people and the nation,
by taking up tasks which are bold and which no-
body has hitherto taken up. The academic curricu-
lum is structured to address the needs of the in-
dustry and is aligned towards
imparting contemporary knowledge to the
students. An optimal mix of learning methods
ensures a holistic personality development of the
students. The curriculum encourages students to
become industry ready professionals.

It was the second week of August 2008 when I received an
award "Best student of the Year" at Hiroshima University
Japan, thanks to my overall performance in the academic year
2007/08. As I was selected for this award among several
'deserving' candidates both from Japan and other foreign
countries, I was obviously delighted. Moreover, I was
complimented by many friends. Few of them added: "I know
you have worked hard, but you are also lucky, mate!"
Yesterday, I was talking to one of my friends who is now a
permanent resident of the USA by virtue of the DV (Diversity
Visa) lottery scheme. He said "No
matter how hard you try, the
outcome is not in your control.
What and how we get things are
actually predetermined". He just
gave the example of how he got
the DV lottery.
And there are several examples.
Though there is a difference
between the two above-
mentioned instances, both have
been associated with a term called
'luck'. So the question is can
'every' event in human life
be governed by 'destiny'?
Why do the terms like
luck, fortune, fate, kismet,
destiny etc. overshadow
our achievements and
activities? Why does
'destiny', which is the
most super-natural thing,
appear so natural? Do we
have any free will or not? I don't have a concrete answer to
these questions. Do you have one?
In a bid to understand 'destiny' in a greater detail, I first saw
the definition of it that says: "An event (or a course of events)
that will inevitably happen in the future". The role of 'destiny'
in human beings has always been a debatable issue ever since
the evolution of the society. Astrology, particularly in the
east, is considered to be a science. Destiny as a concept lost
some weight with the advancement in modern science and I
have seen many people considering 'destiny' to be a mere
superstition, they believe that there is nothing called destiny
or fate as all our successes and failures are actually the result
of our own activities.
Take a look at the following conversation:
Morpheus: "Do you believe
in fate, Neo?"
Neo: "No."
Morpheus: "Why not?"
Neo: "Because I don't like
the idea that I'm not in
control of my life"
Morpheus: "I know exactly
what you mean."
The above conversation
explains most people's
perspectives on fate or destiny.
They simply don't want to
believe in it. This line of thought
exists mostly in those people
who are considered to be
'successful' in the society and
those who have hardly faced
any 'failure' in their lives.
However, this school of thought
leaves several questions of life
unanswered. For instance: why
are some people born to rich
parents and others to the poor? Why are some people healthy
and some handicapped by birth? Answers to these queries
are obviously inconclusive.
Those who think that destiny is a mere superstition take for
granted the fact that they have the 'free will' to make con-
scious decisions to choose between various possible courses
of action. However, recent experiments at the Max Planck
institute in Germany on the functioning of human brain cast
doubts on this pre-
sumption. The experi-
mental results suggest
that our subconscious
mind decides on and
dictates our action
long before our con-
scious mind actually
realises it. On our abil-
ity to decide and act
independently, one of
the researchers writes
"...little more than automatons, mere machines, pieces of bio-
logical clock-work that have no more free will than a Swiss
watch".
Is Destiny a Superstition? Do we have a free will?

So what's the indication of the research results? Does it
suggest that an unseen supernatural power exists, who thinks
of us and decides our course of action? If yes, then it may
encourage inactiveness and pessimism in most of the people.
Don't we have even some limited free will/choice?
The existence of this limited free will gives rise to another
school of thought: "neither is everything predestined, nor do
we have the free will in everything". It says that we are free to
take the first decision; but as soon as we take it, our next step
becomes inevitable and predictable. We are bound by the
laws of life which govern the outcome of an act. For example:
if we decide to plant an apple tree in our garden and once we
do it, no matter what we do, we cannot get any other fruit
from the tree. So after the first action (i.e. decision to plant
the apple tree) our choice becomes limited and our freedom
is curtailed. Also, we have to keep our fingers crossed such
that even after planting the apple tree, whether we will be
able to eat the fruit from the tree or not!
The Hindu or Buddhist philosophy says that the cycle of birth
and death has been continuing since eternity and will keep on
repeating itself till a human body attains 'enlightenment',
which has been termed 'self-realization' or Moksha or
nirvana. This is the concept of "Law of Karma". This law says
that everything that happens in our life is the result of our
own activities and we have to bear the result of such activities
someday even in our next life.
So out of these three schools of thoughts: (i.e. 1. There is
nothing called destiny and it's a mere superstition; 2.
Everything is controlled by some super-natural power and we
are just like puppets; and 3. Nothing is predestined and we
choose our own courses of action, however, the outcome is
not in our control) which one do you believe in? Have you
ever felt that something was destined to happen? Or do you
think that you are in full control of what you are doing? Or is
the word 'destiny' just a psychological defence system to
cover our failures in life?

“ That girl with a cute smile...”
I was passing the corridor
When saw her first time picking up her scarf from the floor
Her teeth biting the pin & hands handling hair
She gave me a look which was very fair
I looked into her round black eyes but she stole the glare
I moved towards her and she started walking with fear
I stopped and looked down, she paused and turned around
Her eyes looking at me & my heart rolling down
Her lips going wide & my heart rolling down
She came towards me & my heart rolling down
She passed my side giving me a huge smile
My heart beat fast as never happened before
I felt something different & I was not myself anymore
I wanted to move but went motionless
I wanted to talk but went speechless
My soul going up and my senses going down
I cried and laughed at the same time
While I will never forget that girl...that girl with a cute smile...

Are you ready to enter the world of
immortals? Do you want to experience the
wisdom of the Gods? Westland publishers
has made a gem of discovery in Amish
Tripathi, a 36 year IIM graduate who was
previously associated with the banking
sector. ‘The Immortal of Meluha’ his first
book is a part sequel of the series, Shiva
Triology. The second book being the
‘Secret of The Nagas’, and the third sequel
that ends it, ‘The Oath of the Vayuputras’.
The story that Amish has chosen has been
a very risky selection specially in India
but he did not let down his readers.
Shiva, the protagonist of the story was the
chief of the Gunas, a tribe that lived in Mount Kailash by the
holy lake Mansarover. He was invited to the city, the kingdom
of Meluha only to realize that journey to Meluha was just a
beginning to a more longer journey.
The Suryavanshi’s were inhabitants of Meluha who believed
in a prophecy. A prophecy of the Neelkanth. ‘The destroyer of
evil’. All were awaiting the saviour.
Amish’s ability to involve all the aspects to make it look as
though it was never separate is amazing. He deals with
history, geography, philosophy etc. He
emphasizes how the values of the people back then were
strong, rigid and respected.
He has opened the aspect of actually
making it possible for all his readers to
imagine as if the great lords of today were
only human who also felt all the normalcy
of life.
The ideology of societies has been of vast
importance in making the story. The facts
that he has enlightened us with, actually
turn this fiction into a genre, based on the
understanding of the readers.
The journey of the protagonist is filled
with wisdom and rationality, something
that is rare to find in today’s societies.
Amish’s story telling makes you want more. It is sure to be
able to give you chills. The action sequence, the romance, the
humour, all have been distributed to provide a book with all
the ammunition, to a well developed and a completely
entertaining book.
The first book gives the Shiva’s Trilogy a base, a concrete
base, to the story line. It equips the reader with the
knowledge which will then be useful in his next book ‘The
Secret of The Nagas’.

Book Review

Bidding adieu has always been difficult for anyone at any phase of life. For
the Galgotians also, it was no different. 25th April was the day when the
juniors bid adieu to their seniors who are the first batch of MBA and
M. Tech in Galgotias University. It was a day of pride and joy for the senior
passing out students as they were going to mark a new phase of their life
through venturing into a professional domain. On their honour G-Farewell
was organized in GU campus. Young men and women dressed in formals
portrayed the combination of knowledge and entrepreneurship that has
been instilled in them during their course at Galgotias University. The
event experienced the mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. The celebration
brought joy and the very thought of separation bought sorrow to the
Galgotians.
The very beginning of the G-Farewell exhibited a grand vibe. The event
had quite a few remarkable and enjoyable performances. Other than the
normal proceedings of the event, entertainment packed performances by
students were delivered , some being acoustically chromatic music
performance by Galgotia University bands ‘Crescendo’ and ‘JR7’ , and the
ultra co-ordinated dance performance by Studio D (Dance club at Galgotias
University ).
Besides that, there was the live performance of ‘Eka’, the famous Indian
band which energised the crowd to a new high. With the natural lights
dimmed, students bid each other and their alma mater a final goodbye as
they exit, on their final day, through the very gates of the university that
brought them in at day one.
Finally, since the seniors set sail on a new chapter in their lives, the
juniors wished them all the best for their future endeavour.

The story of a Dreamer
“Yes, I am a dreamer, a dreamer is one who can only find his way by the
moonlight and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the
world.” These are the words of Shubham Mahendrawal (Mr. Delhi-NCR
2013). Further Mr. Mahendrawal adds, “I have worked with one of India's
leading modelling agency 'Glambirds Entertainment'. It provided me a
platform into my dream world of modelling I always aspired for. 'Mr and Miss
Delhi-NCR 2013’ mega model hunt where I was short listed amongst the top
finalists and had gone under a training and grooming session for a month,
where I learned basics of acting, ramp walk, styling and different aspects of
fashion industry. Soon approached the grand finale, the heart throbbing
moment when I was declared the winner and won the supreme title of ''Mr.
Delhi NCR 2013'' and it was the most cherishable moment of my life. Being
the winner I was awarded with my title trophy and certificate, endorsement
for a brand, a series of ramp walk events, cover page model for an
international magazine ‘La-Fiesta’. I love the kingdom of stardom, and aspire
to be a supermodel one day and indeed I'm gonna be one for sure.”
The G-Post wishes Shubham Mahendrawal a wonderful and glittering career
ahead and we all hope he would achieve that he deserves and would reach the
new heights in his modelling and acting career.

Honor Role

22nd of April (Earth day ) was celebrated with a
determined intention, to designate India's most sought
after university, as India's greenest.
A green week agenda was introduced and implemented
to prohibit the use of poly bags. Students and faculty
members adopted the eco friendly jute bag alternative
provided at the university at different student initiated
outlets, the collections of which were later given to an
NGO working for a good cause.
The team of "eco-soc" (the Ecological and Social club of
GU) introduced the "Nurture your sapling program"
where the team arranged 70 saplings
of evergreen species, and each plant
was then allowed to be adopted by a
student for sustained growth.
Each student involved in the sapling
plantation was "eco marked" with a
"eco-soc" green stamp and was
provided with a free band. Students
proudly flashed their Green bands
signifying their pledge to develop a
more cleaner environment.

Galgotias University’s School of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences
held a panel discussion on the Union Budget 2013-2014 on 5th of
March 2013. The Union Budget discussion was moderated by Prof.
Prem Vashistha, Dean, School of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.
The panelists for the discussion were Dr. Charan D. Wadhva (Former
President & Chief Executive, CPR), Dr. Mahesh Purohit (Director of
FPEPR) and Dr. Kanhaiya Singh (Senior Fellow of NCAER). These
panelists gave a very thoughtful and analytic perception of what the
Union Budget had to offer India. For the opening of the discussion, the
B.A. Economics Honors students gave a brief and to the point
introduction allowing the panelists as well as the audience to get a
head start of what the highlights of the Budget were. This move by the students was appreciated by the panelists. The
discussion focused on the 2013-14 union budget and what it had to offer to the common man. The virtues and shortcomings
of the budget were discussed in detail which proved very informative to the faculty members and students in the audience.

Guru Dr. Maya Rao performs at G-Quasar 2013
The very first day of Galgotias University's Unifest
‘G-Quasar 2013’ accelerated from the zero to infinity
within a short time since its inauguration, overcoming the
inertia of stagnation. Unlike most events where the ‘first
day’ is all about getting started with , G Quasar's Day 1
was all about energy from the very beginning, and why
would it not be ? With the day 1 coinciding with Womens’
Day, it wasn't just about promoting a ‘fest’, it was about
supporting a ‘cause’.
The plethora of events that dazzled the audience had their
very beginning with internationally reputed Dancer,
Choreographer, Teacher, Writer, Academician & Dance
Curator, Dr Maya Rao's enthralling solo performance,
which was followed by an encouraging session where
students/faculty members/esteemed attendees were
allowed to seek honest answers that were closely related
to the roots of the environment we live in. Dr. Rao
answered questions related to women's safety and questions related to the unfortunate case of December 16 gang rape,
urging the society to wake up and take responsibility of their own safety. She specially urged the young attendees to respect,
protect and understand their responsibilities towards women empowerment and safety.
Dr. Rao is the recipient of several awards including the National Award (President of India Award) for Choreography, the
Karnataka State Award, the prestigious Shantala Award from the Govt. of Karnataka, the Emeritus Fellowship from the H.R.D.
Govt. of India and an honorary doctorate from Bangalore University. Dr. Rao has aslo led cultural delegations to over 30
countries, creating awareness and sharing the rich dance heritage of India worldwide.
Padmasri Shri Shambu Maharaj of the Lucknow Gharana and Shri Sunderprasad of the Jaipur Gharana were her Kathak
Gurus. Her solo recitals and dance dramas imbibed both the styles, winning much acclaim in India and Overseas. Dr. Rao has
earned her Post Graduate certificate in Choreography from the former USSR. She is a consultant choreographer and a Jury
member for international projects regularly. She runs India's only degree college of choreography- The Natya Institute of
Kathak and Choreography.
Maya Rao was made the Chairperson of the Karnataka State Sangeet Nritya Academy (1987 – 1990) during which period she
initiated National Performing Arts Festivals at Heritage Monuments – Somanathapura (1988), Pattadakkal (1989) and
Halebid (1990).

Finally, G-Quasar’13 was there in the campus. The long wait was
over. The preparations have come to the final stage. Everyone
associated with G-Quasar was striving hard to make it an
ultra-successful event. 8th to 10th
March were the most happening
days for Galgotians since G-
Quasar’13 was scheduled on
these days. The students were in
a dreamy world. The days were
full of celebrations and the
nights were full of excitement.
The highly anticipated
CELEBRITY NIGHT, for which
crowd had emerged in numbers
and waited for hours in
everlasting queues, did not get
disappointed a bit. It surpassed
all our anticipations, and turned
out to be a stunning and
spectacular display of talents by
some of the biggest and gifted
stars of our music industry. The
array of events started on 8th of
March and 9th March was the
first day of the celebrity night, a huge multitude from the whole
Delhi-NCR was gathered to witness the band ‘Bombay Rockers’. The
excitement of the audience was sky high and they were waiting with
closed breath to see the celebrities on the stage. The band was intro-
duced when the excitement of the crowd was at its peak.
“When I say ‘POP IT’, You say ‘ROCK IT’ ”
‘POP IT, ROCK IT!!’
‘POP IT, ROCK IT!! ‘
These may sound as mere words now but they were indeed the
‘anthem’ of the night when thousands of people were singing the
verse in tune. The hosts of the evening played their part with superb
efficiency and did not let the energy level dip even for a fraction of
second throughout the event. Amid the cheering crowd, they
performed some of their chartbusters like ‘Rock the Party’, ‘Sexy
Mama’ and ‘Ari Ari’ from their album ‘Introducing’ which has gone
five times platinum. The performance was outstanding as evinced by
the thrilled reaction of the audience. Young and adults alike were
enthralled and captivated by the groovy beats and enjoyable
harmonies. The songs had instant impact on the students, who
started dancing spontaneously to the peppy beats. The whole
campus was indeed swinging with bliss. Apart from performing their
songs, they also shared their inspiration of writing some of their
songs with the audience. They appeared extremely pleased by the
huge admiration of the crowd.
The exhilaration was not yet over though, and more entertainment
was still in store for the students. On 10th March G Quasar welcomed
new guests, singer ‘Shruti Pathak’ and the singers and composers
‘Vishal Dadlani’ and ‘Shekhar Ravjiani’ . The first one on stage was
Shruti Pathak, the Filmfare nominated singer who has sung hit songs
for the films like ‘Kai Po Che’, ‘Kurbaan’ and
‘Fashion’, sung entertaining item numbers and
many popular songs like ‘Chikani Chameli’, ‘Gal Mithi
Mithi’, ‘Tum hi ho bandhu’
etc. Her melodious voice and
live performance was as good as in
the albums. After setting fire to the
stage, Vishal-Shekhar took to the stage
and it was only the start of an exciting ride
reserved for the audience. The evening
had truly reached the crescendo when the
duo took the charge . They were
welcomed by falling confetti and colourful
strobe lights. They simply achieved the
top notch level of excitement with their
first song ‘Dus Bahane’. There was
electricity in the air, people went gaga and
their feet started thumping involuntarily.
To build the mood of the evening, they
even at one point jestingly asked the
‘Principal’ to permit the crowd to cheer
for them their hearts out in lieu of extra
marks! They sung the foot tapping
blockbuster songs like ‘Radha’, ‘Dard-e-
Disco’, ‘Salaam Namaste’ and many others. They were later accom-
panied by Shruti Pathak which was the icing on the cake as they
sung heart warming songs like ‘mujhe rula diya’ and cracking ones
like ‘anjana anjani’ etc, which the students couldn’t help but sing
along with them. They were not able to hold themselves from thank-
ing the wonderful and immensely enthusiastic audience after their
every song for its mighty support and praises. So immersed were
they, along with the audience, that all of them lost the track of time
and their performance well exceeded the scheduled time. At last
they introduced and acknowledged their band members for their
hard work and effort to make their performance a great success. The
end of the evening left the crowd delirious and crying out for more.
The night, indeed was the Star Factor of the whole G-Quasar!

Jiff, second, minute, days, months, years decay as the
clock ticks, but few memories, few moments, few
things which we share with our love wrapped in our
arms, especially in dance with soft music and romantic
pink light will always be an unforgettable sweet
memory. In those moments of closeness, we forget
who we are and where we are. What relationship this
is we don’t know… only this dance is our relation and
silence, our speech.
The most exciting and much awaited event of Galgotias
University came alive during G-Quasar. The Annual fest
G-Quasar'13, was a 3 days event. The first day was a
ball dance party (Waltz with him), an amazing
exquisite kaleidoscope of dance, music and lots of fun
and frolic.
The term 'ballroom dancing' is derived from the word ball, which in turn originates from the Latin word ballare which means
'to dance' (Source- Wikipedia). It depicts the bonding between the dancing partners through body language that shows their
compatibility.
Students who were eagerly waiting to flaunt their passionate dance moves were given a brief training session which helped
them a great deal in putting up the show on the final day. Guys and girls shook their legs on the famous ball room music. This
event brought back the memories of the ball dance scene from the famous movie Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.
50 couples were allowed in this event and marking was being done on the basis of their dressing style, body language, moves
and clarity judged by the members of Coreotheque Dance Academy. Boys were dressed in black suit while the girls stole the
limelight by being dressed in beautiful red gowns. This year’s fest was one of its kind as the students enjoyed and relished
each moment right from the training session till late night dinner which followed the ball.

FRAG :
THE REGION OF GAMERS
A world of passion, a world far
away from reality, which seems more real
than reality. The same spirit was there on the
floor of Galgotias Campus One when more than 380
players filled their participation forms for different
categories. This was the greatest number of
participants in any of the events, taking place under
the flag of our University Fest the G-Quasar.
The glory of making this event a grand success was
shared by many, but the flag bearer was Lehri Malik,
the chief coordinator of all the events of FRAG.
Money is a necessary thing for every event of this
reputation, and if sponsors like Steel Series, a
Multi-National Company, comes forward to ’sponsor’
the gaming equipment, the enthusiasm level of the
organizers and the participants rises all the more
high.
The games under FRAG were:
 CoD (Call of Duty): A game based on army
combat- a real thriller - and the winner under
this category was Shubham Kanojia, a student
from Delhi University.
 Counter Strike: The game, reputed to give
gamers sleepless nights, was a hit at G-Quasar
and saw tough competition. The winner of this
game was a team named Lions with team
members Vaibhav, Tushar and Gaurav.
 DOTA: A strategy game which can teach lessons
in planning not only in the virtual world but also
in the real world, also saw a good number of
participation. The first prize in this series went to a group named Crazy.
 NFS: The name stands for need for speed, of course not needed to be mentioned, the most common racing game. The
fastest racer was Shivam Singh.
 FIFA: No gamer is complete without playing this game on his playstation. In G-Quasar this gave the real feel of the
field. The winner in this field was Astitva from GNIT.
All these games were held in different computer labs of the Galgotias Group of Institutions, Campus 1 and all ended with
prize distribution on the main stage of G-Quasar. The event was real and rare soul food for a gamer whose religion is
games. It really looked like a region of gaming.

Bestest Part Of My Life
Neither the sun nor the rain
Can understand my pain
The feelings that I have
Are so much true
That even God can’t point them
Because I only loved you
Say it a passion or a hobby
To care for you is my first priority
I don’t know about others
As for me they are minority
I don’t compare you with moon
As it’s far away
I want you to live in my heart
That’s the best place where you can stay
I promise
Your lips will never get down
Your smile will never fade
You will be in my arms
I will protect you in my shade
All I need is you
As good people in my life are few
When you stand by my side
I really feel the pride
To say that
You are the bestest part of my life…

Representing Development:
Photo Competition
In February 2013, a photography competition was held as part of a one day
interdisciplinary conference on ‘Representing Development: The process
and role of informalisation’ organised by the Galgotias University’s School
of Business and School of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.
The conference raised some important issues regarding the idea of
development with respect to the informal space of our economy. The
students sent in their best photographs that captured the informal space
comprising of the people who surround us in our day to day life. People
who migrate from their hometowns and villages in search of livelihood and
settle in urban areas like street vendors are the ones who constitute the
informal sector. Their pictures captured the highs and lows, trials and
tribulations of lives in the cities and also highlighted the contradictions
between migration and displacement. The best photographs were
displayed in the foyer near the Block A cafeteria where visitors gave their
feedback and words of encouragement to the participants.
Photographs by Achyut Misra, Akanksha Bisht and Kantinath Banerjee
were judged as the top four photos by the judges.
Here are a few glimpses (pic below).

The motion for the first Semi-final was ‘The Large Informal
Sector is an Obstacle to Economic Growth in India’. Partici-
pants from both GU and GIMT presented wonderful points,

and concerns for the Informal sector of India.
The second Semi-final between Amity Business School and
Galgotias Business School had the motion ‘Presence of Child
and Female Labour in the Informal Sector is Conducive to
Economic Growth in India’. The arguments and
counter-arguments presented by both the team made us
ponder upon the issues of female and child labour in the
informal sector of India.
Amity Business School
and Galgotias University
reached the final which
was held after the lunch
and the motion for the
final was “India has
successfully met the
Challenges of Global
Slowdown”. The

very professional and candid approach, making the
judgement a little difficult.

The event concluded with a vote of thanks by the faculty
coordinators and a few words about the event from the judg-

University who were present throughout the day to guide and
support the students. Vice Chancellor, GU, Prof Ashok Saxena
mentioned in his valedictory speech the significance of such
competitions saying that such events should be conducted on
regular basis. He said that the debate process nurtured an
interest in current events and the political, social and
economic issues of today’s world among the students. Skills
developed during the entire debate experience add to the
student’s ‘competitive edge’.

INTER-COLLEGE DEBATE COMPETITION

The School of Law, Galgotias University aims to
focus on overall development of its students. Here the
students have the privilege of academic pursuits along
with clinical training. All efforts are made to equip them
with skills to deliver the best in profession. They are
also nurtured with social and human values. With this
objective a National Seminar on Law, Development and
Social Transformation in India: Issues and Challenges
was organized by the School of Law, Galgotias
University on February 2, 2013. The seminar witnessed
the presence of Honorable Justice Gyan Sudha Misra,
Judge Supreme Court , as chief guest,Mr. Sunil Galgotia,
Chancellor, Galgotias University as the Patron-in-chief
and that of Prof.(Dr.) Ashok Saxena, Vice-Chancellor, Mr.
A. S. Mathur, Registrar and Prof.(Dr.) G. S. Bajpai,
Advisor as the patrons. This seminar provided a
platform to the young brains of India and attracted the
students, young researchers, law teachers, members of
the bar and bench alike. The seminar boasts the
presence of almost one hundred and fifty participants.
It was a breath taking experience to witness dynamic
brain storming sessions delivered by the panellists to
identify the causes of disconnection between
government policies and goal of the constitution
framers, to examine and evaluate the existing
legislation and policies to assure the stake holders
and suggest a viable policy and mechanism. The
panellists discussed that in more recent times, the
legal reforms have been at the centre of the agenda
for rendering justice so that it could minimise the
conflict of interest of various class and group of the
society. Now policy framers on their official agenda
have put forward goals to ensure strengthening
access to justice to vulnerable class of the society and
emphasise on the efficacy of law and legal reforms to
initiate changes in the social order towards a gender
just and egalitarian society. It is felt that legislation
could act directly as a norm setter, or indirectly,
providing institutions which accelerate social change
by making it more acceptable. The seminar ended
with a valedictory address given by Prof.(Dr.)
Pradeep Kulshreshtha. The event was definitely a
success as it provided ample knowledge and a direction to all its participants and audience alike.

I am Manish Kumar Gupta enrolled in the BBA program of
Galgotias University. I am from Nepal and have completed my
high school from GCE A’ LEVELS board in Nepal. Through this
article I want to give you a small glimpse of Nepal and some
of its interesting features.
Nepal is a small country situated in the heart of SAARC
nations with a total area of
147,181 km2. It is a
landlocked country
surrounded by India on
three sides that is east,
west and south whereas
the northern side is
surrounded by China. It
boasts of eight of the
world’s top ten highest
mountains, including
Mount Everest on the
border with China. Nepal is
the only country in the
world which has not been
ruled by any foreign authority. Nepal was declared a republic
country on 28th May, 2008.The present president of Nepal is
Dr. Rambaran Yadav. The currency of Nepal is Nepalese
rupees(NPR).The total population of Nepal is 26,500,504. It is
a country of Hindu origin due to which the majority of the
population follows Hinduism though every religion is equally
respected and welcomed in Nepal.
Nepal has both Nepalese and foreign boards of education at
higher secondary level, Higher Secondary Education Board
(HSEB) and GCE A LEVELS by Cambridge University being
more popular than others. At graduate and post graduate
levels Nepal has total five universities among them three are
government and the rest two are private.
Tourism is a major source of economy in Nepal as Nepal has
many religious Hindu and Buddhist heritage sites.
‘Swyambhunath’ the famous Buddhist temple which is also
known as Monkey Temple is located to the west of
Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. Nepal being the birthplace
of Lord Buddha, sees every year thousands of tourists from
all over the world coming to visit this pilgrimage. Reaching
Kathmandu takes half an hour from New Delhi by air. Apart
from the religious aspect of tourism, Nepal also offers an
astonishing diversity of sightseeing attractions popularly
known as ‘SEVEN WONDERS OF NEPAL’.
Out of these seven wonders, the first is the Mount Everest
which is the highest peak in the world with an elevation of
8848 meters above the sea level.
The second is known as ‘Panch Pokhari’. It is a group of three
sacred lakes located about 6
kilometers east of Ama Dablam
mountain in Nepal. The main lake
is at 5,414 meters; the other two
lakes are at 5430m and
5494m. Panch Pokhri at 5494m is
the highest named lake in the
world. It is about 700 meters long
and 400 meters wide.
The third is Tilicho lake. Tilicho
lake is one of the highest lakes in
the world. It is 4,949 meters high
in the Annapurna range of Nepal.
Annapurna, a series of peaks in the
Himalayas is a 55 km long massif of which the highest point,
Annapurna I, stands at 8091m, making it the 10th-highest
summit in the world
After the Annapurna range comes the Kali Gandaki gorge. It is
the deepest gorge in the world.
The sixth is Mount Makalu. Makalu is the fifth highest
mountain in the world with an elevation of 8,481 meters
above sea level Makalu is an isolated peak whose shape is a
four-sided pyramid.
And the seventh wonder of Nepal is the Fishtail
mountain. This mountain combined with its steep, pointed
profile, makes it a particularly striking peak, despite a lower
elevation than some of its neighbors. Its double summit
resembles the tail of a fish, hence, the name meaning "Fish's
Tail" in Nepali language.
I believe the information I shared in this article will
encourage you to visit Nepal and in closing I want to welcome
everybody to this land of wonders.

On 14th February, Galgotias University saw a brief
celebration in the Campus. The readers are requested
not to get confused reading the date. This year, 14th
February played host to another event, than its
regular St. Valentine’s Day. This year, Basant
Panchami or Saraswati Pooja, happened to fall on 14th
February and this called for a small function where
Basant Ritu, the Spring season, was welcomed after
the harsh Sharad Ritu, the winter season, retired. The
function was organized by the SAHSS to celebrate the
day associated with learning and knowledge.
The function also sought to inform our foreign
students about the rituals of India, and what
importance these had in the Indian culture. India is
one of very few countries which is blessed with four
seasons, and the arrival of Basant is celebrated in
India, especially North India, because, immediately
following the winters, Spring stands in sharp contrast
with the cold, dry winter season. Nowadays, Basant
Panchami is also synonymous with Saraswati Pooja, or the worship of Goddess Saraswati, the deity of wisdom, knowledge
and learning.
Leaflets, announcing the function with an introduction about the ritual were pasted on all the notice boards a day before,
ensuring that the event sees a huge turn-out of students and faculty members. Sure enough, everybody reached the venue on
time. The ‘stage’ was adorned by the VC, GU, Prof. Ashok Saxena, Pro VCs Prof. Balaji Rajagopalan, Prof. Sham Tickoo, Prof
Khalid, Senior Dean & Editor-in-Chief G-Post, Prof. D. K Jha and Dean, SAHSS, Prof. Prem Vashishtha.
All the dignitaries spoke a few words about the importance of the day, and how they’ve been celebrating it since childhood.
After this interaction was the time for ceremonial closing of the ritual. Hindu rituals are usually brought to a formal end by
offering ‘aahuti’ to the Gods through worshipping the Fire God. Everybody came forward to participate in the offering. Later
on Prasad was distributed to everybody in the campus.

Learning and Fun Experience For Media Students
The students in MJMC programme in Galgotias University participated in
Two Day Workshop on ‘Sound Forge’ organised by School of Mass
Communication during Technical Fest ‘Praudyogiki’ (22-23 February
2013) at Chitkara University, Chandigarh. Mr. Nitin Sharma, Radio
Jockey and Director Media Myth Solutions Pvt. Ltd was the resource per-
son.
The students were made
familiar with the
working of sound editing
software, Sound Forge
10.0. As said by the
students, the workshop
was a knowledgeable experience for them as they got acquainted with sound
recording and mixing techniques. Also, they enjoyed the practical
experience of being on-air. They were accompanied by Mrs. Nitasha S
Babbar, faculty of Media and Communication Department.
In all it was thoroughly a fun and knowledge gaining experience for the
students as such workshops focuses more towards practical approach of
their curriculum.
