This session was chairedby Prof Zahid Hussain Zaidi, formerDirector of the Academy. He recalledthe early years of the Academy, howShri Rajiv Gandhi, then PrimeMinister of India had been keen toset up a centre in JMI to study theThird World, and how Prof Ali Ashraf,then Vice-Chancellor of Jamia hadtaken the initiative and set it up withsupport and funds from the UGC.

It is a matter of great pleasure forJamia Millia Islamia to announce

that Dr. Mohd.Imtiyaz Hassan,Assistant Professorfrom Centre forI n t e r d i s c i p l i n a r yResearch in BasicSciences, has been

elected as the Vice-President ofIndian Biophysical Society, one ofthe leading scientific society of thenation. The Indian BiophysicalSociety (IBS) was founded in 1965and celebrated its golden jubilee in2014 at Jamia Millia Islamia.Presently, it has more than 1100 Life-members who performing very wellin different corners of the country. The interdisciplinary nature of the

society attracted scientists from notonly Physics, Chemistry and Biology,but also from other related areas toosuch as Biotechnology,Bioinformatics and Medicine. IBSserves as a forum to promote

scientific exchanges in the area ofBiophysics in India, to advocate thecause of Biophysics in the country,and to provide expert advice forbiophysics teaching in various partsof the country. Its main activity is toorganize the annual IndianBiophysical Society meeting, in thespring of every year, in differentlocations in India. IBS also providesawards and travel fellowships todeserving scientists and studentsand helps smaller groups ofbiophysicists in organizing seminarson special topics. Dr. Hassan haspublished more than 200 researcharticles with i10-index as high as 103and h-index as 30 with 3199 citationsas per google scholar. He wasinstrumental in bringing 10 majorresearch projects from differentfunding agencies within a short spanof 10 years. He is also serving asGeneral Secretary of protein societyand Joint Secretary of bioinformaticsand drug design society.

A Mechanical Engineeringstudent, Pratyush Janghel of ShriShankaracharya Raipurparticipated in a Bug BountyCompetition organized by "AT&TIncorporated" wherein studentsand Ethical hackers from all overthe world participated. PratyushJanghel reserved for himself aplace among the top 10participants, for which hereceived a cash prize of $750(almost 54 thousand rupees).AT&T Incorporated is one of thebiggest telecommunicationcompanies in the world and hasnumber one position in MobileTelephone Services.

Bug Bounty is a competitionorganized by companies likeMozilla, Facebook, Yahoo, Google,Redit, Square, and Microsoft. Thedevelopers deliberate over thesoftware security related issuesand shortcomings in thecompanies so as to createawareness among the commonpeople and to curb down itswidespread misuse. The companyawards the participant who reportsabout the bug and provides a

suitable solution. In simple words,it highlights how a company'swebsite, software and computercan be hacked and also how tosecure it. Prior to this competition,Pratyush Janghel of SSIPMTRaipur has successfullyparticipated in Bug Bountyprogramme of many bigcompanies like Google, Sony,Intel, and E-Set.Mr. NishantTripathi, Chairman(Governingbody) SSIPMT Raipurcongratulatd Pratyush Janghel,Prof. Atul Chakrawartti, HODMechanical and Dr. Alok Ku. Jain,Principal SSIPMT for thisoutstanding achievement andencouraged the students andfaculty to carry on suchendeavours successfully in future.

Vishwakarma GovernmentEngineering College Studentshavedeveloped aLow-cost smartbus-tracking systemwhich allowsthe common man to easily track busarrival and find the bus to take inorder to reach a location in theshortest time. This will lead to lesscrowd and fast transit.

Speaking of which KaransinghChauhan (9924677710) said, "Thissystem when implemented willremove the uncertainty of time andthe menace of finding which bus totake. Your smartphone can tell youwhen the bus will arrive and howlong it will take to reach a location."The Students were felicitated andhighly praised by the high-rankingofficials from ISRO, CED (Centre forEntrepreneurship Development),DTE(Directorate of TechnicalEducation) and IPR. The OfficialsComplimented the Solution as, acost-effective and compact one atthe VGEC SSIP conclave 2019.

Explaining the system, RidhamDave [Team Leader](7817920140)said, "The primary advantage of thissystem is its Cost Effectiveness. Ingeneral, on-board tracking unitscost around 4x times more in whichwe have achieved the same.. Wehavebridged the information gap oflocation which is a menace in Citybuses, this will eradicate the majorproblem of confusion of which bus to

take well as easily find the fastestbus route to take. The system isdesigned to run from a Mobile Appusing user location."

This system will provide the exactanalytics of bus arrival time andtravel time which will be helpful inreal time bus management on thebasis of Machine Learning. "Realtime analytics will also help in policymaking and administrativepurposes as bus routes can bechanged, traffic better managedbased on how long the bus requiresto travel. So, now users can choosean appropriate bus route based onestimated arrival time", ExclaimedJaydip Patel(9099921363).

"Many a times, there are multipleroutes which a person can take toreach a location. However, peoplecannot know which will be thefastest. Sometimes you have tochange buses at a particular busstation but you have to wait a longtime for the next bus. Our app solvesthis issues of connecting buses toreduce waiting time." explainedProf. Nakul Dave(9228844266),Assistant Professor at VGEC."Nobody wants to wait for anythingand everyone wants quick service.It's the role of us engineer to lead thetechnology boundary further andbring ease of life to the commonman", concluded Ridham Dave.
