Mangalore, September 16: The inaugural of the Infovision-2011, the IT and Bioinformatics Exhibition organised by the IT and Bioinfo faculty of AIMIT, St Aloysius College (Autonomous), Beeri, Kotekar, near hear was held on Thursday morning.

Max Rasquinha, Founder, IIPP and Internal Orientation Centre, Mangalore, hailing from Houston, TX was the Chief Guest and Rev Fr Joseph Rodrigues SJ, Rector, Aloysian Institutions presided over the function.

Mr Rasquinha honoured Fr Denzil Lobo SJ, Director, AIMIT with a citation and gifts for the meritorious work he has been doing to set up a world class Management & IT School in Mangalore. He lauded the efforts of Jesuit Fathers in the field of education.

He reminisced his own school days at St Aloysius, and how he, at a very young age left Mangalore seeking employment in the Middle Eastern countries. Sheer hard work and perseverance has helped him to achieve all that he has in his life. “Be highly motivated and be a lifelong learner”, he told the august gathering of students and participants. “India has very good human resource and we would be supplying leaders to the whole world in the next twenty years”, he said indicating the presence of highly talented young people in our country.

He also said that some years back it was the opinion that our highly trained young people left the country. It is not so. They are interested in the growth of India and their presence abroad is bringing a large amount of foreign exchange to the Country. He encouraged the students gathered to work hard and involve themselves in creative activities.

Fr Denzil Lobo SJ, Director, AIMIT in his introductory speech welcomed the Chief Guest and the dignitaries. He said, “If the AIMIT campus look beautiful, it is due to the contribution by Mr Rasquinha of priceless paintings and artifacts which adorn the walls of the building.” He thanked Mr Max Rasquinha for taking a lot of interest in the growth of AIMIT CAMPUS and for his generosity.

Quoting how a University like Ransslaer in New York could produce so many distinguished engineers, scientists, executives and so on, he asked why our Institutions in India which churn out so many graduates every year cannot produce world class innovators.

Fr Lobo remarked that though we have excellent and bright young people in our country, our educational system really needs a thorough overhaul. Our system puts more stress on memorizing rather than creativity and innovation.

He opined that we should establish world class Institutions in India which are on par with some of the Universities in US and Europe. It is possible provided there is more freedom given by the Government and Universities. He said participating in the event like Infovision helps students to do some original work and come out with bright ideas, and implement those ideas for the benefit of mankind. He thanked the AIMIT TEAM headed by Prof Santhosh Rebello and the faculty members and students for organizing this event.

Rev Fr Joseph Rodrigues Sj, Rector, Aloysian Institutions, spoke on the advances made in Biotech field and that the next generation of students will have all the opportunities in life. He said, though there has been a little slump due to recession, there will always be a bright future to our talented young people. He congratulated the students wished success to Infovision.

Mr Rasquniha was felicitated by Fr Rector with a shawl and Mysore peta. Mrs Deborah Vijay, Faculty coordinator of INFOVISION welcomed the gathering and Mr Ruban proposed the vote of thanks.

The formal function was followed by the inaugural of the exhibition and a large gathering of students from around have been visiting the exhibition. IT will be open till tomorrow evening.

Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 24: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday said that there is no community spread or the expected phase three spread of coronavirus in the state so far but the threat continues.

Speaking to media persons here on Thursday, Vijayan said that Kasargod, Kannur, Kozhikode, and Malappuram districts will be in the red zone with full restrictions.

"All the other ten districts in the State will be in the orange zone. With the detection of new cases today, the status of Kottayam and Idukki districts have been changed from green to orange. The district administration will decide on the hotspot areas to be closed," he said.

He said there would be an increase in the number of random tests in the red zones.

"In an effort to confirm that there is no community spread in the State, random antibody tests would be conducted among health workers, police personnel, home delivery persons, volunteers and migrant labourers," he added.

The Chief Minister said that COVID-19 labs set up at the Pariyaram Government Medical College at Kannur and the Kottayam Medical College have got the approval from the ICMR for coronavirus testing. The lab at Kannur Medical College will start functioning from Friday.

The UV sterilised lab, spread over 2,200 sq ft is equipped with four real-time PCR machines. In the first phase, this lab will be able to do 15 tests per day, which will be gradually increased to conduct 60 tests in the next phase.

"With the opening of these two new labs, tests to detect COVID-19 will be conducted in 14 government labs in Kerala. Apart from this, there are two private labs also in Kerala which are doing these tests. Since the number of coronavirus cases is again increasing in the State, the government has decided to procure ten real-time PCR machines to ramp up testing," he added.

Bengaluru, Feb 18:  A fan of Kannada film star Darshan smashed the face of a police constable with a boulder when the latter asked him to come in the queue to a party to celebrate the star’s birthday.

The incident happened past midnight on February 15 near the residence of the film star where his birthday was being celebrated.

The injured police constable has been identified as Devaraj, attached to the Jnana Bharathi police station.

The film star’s managers had not made arrangements to handle a huge crowd that gathered near his residence and police had a tough time controlling the crowd.

Constable Devaraj was deputed to duty at the party and tried to get the crowd to fall in line.

As the police carried out a mild lathi-charge to control the crowd, a fan of Darshan came up with a boulder in his hand and smashed the face of the constable Devaraj from very close distance. The constable collapsed on the spot and the attacker ran away.

The impact was such that Devaraj’s nose was fractured and he sustained an eye injury. He was admitted to a private hospital and his condition is said to be serious.

The R R Nagar police have registered a case under IPC sections 353 and 352. The cops have launched a hunt for the accused and they are obtaining CCTV footage from the spot.

A complaint is being registered against the organisers of the event and an investigation is on. Several neighbours of Darshan have also complained to the police about the chaos on February 15.
