It is said that here are some 7000 living languages in the world today.
Census 2011 says that there are a total of 121 languages spoken by more than 10,000 people each, in India.
Thus, Linguistic diversity is thus very much part of our lives.
It is true that Internet is a truly an unlimited source of interesting, important and useful information that can be accessed free of cost.
But it is also true that all this information is not available for consumption to people in a language of their choice.
I understand that making information and knowledge available to people in their

Magnetic Stirrer
A Magnetic Stirrer or magnetic mixer is a laboratory device that employs a rotating magnetic field to cause a stir bar (also called "flea") immersed in a liquid to spin very quickly, thus stirring it. The rotating field may be created either by a rotating magnet or a set of stationary electromagnets, placed beneath the vessel with the liquid.
In the video, it is used to dissolve copper sulphate - CuSO4(H2O)x.

Ticketing system introduced at UoH Hostels
Online grievance redressal system introduced at UoH Hostels
The hostels boarders at University of Hyderabad (UoH) have for some time now frequent problems relating to the scholarships, medical insurance, engineering, plumbing, sanitation, etc. during their stay in the campus. Students used to submit complaint or enter the respective registers about the problems. The same would be forwarded to the concerned department and later they would address the issues. But this procedure has consumed lot of paper and time for resolving the issues for the students and the hostel staff.
Read more: http://uohherald.commuoh.in/ticketing-system-introduced-at-hostels/
In order to minimize the consumption of paper and time taken to resolve the issues, the Chief Warden’s Office has set up an Online Ticketing System (OTS) which can be accessed at http://uohhostels.in/support. Now the hostel boarders can submit their issues to OTS and the same will be automatically forwarded to the concerned department which will address the issues at the earliest possible. The status of the issue can be replied and updated by the boarders and the concerned department as well. Once the issue is resolved, the ticket will be closed and the closed tickets will be deleted from the system. Tickets not addressed/resolved within a reasonable time will automatically get escalated to the next higher level until it is resolved.
Now the hostel boarders will be able to access the OTS and their issues can be resolved in best possible time.
They can read frequently asked questions (http://www.uohhostels.in/support/faqs/) before submitting their ticket.
A video is also available to the students as how the OTS works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGGV4Pzl9-k

University of Hyderabad 18th Convocation
1564 students were awarded their degrees at the 18th convocation ceremony of University of Hyderabad, on Saturday, 1st October. The event, held at Brahma Kumaris Shanti Sarovar, was presided by Dr. Bibek Debroy, an esteemed economist and member of NITI Aayog, as the distinguished Chief Guest.
Dr. Debroy, in his energetic address gave life hacks to the graduating students, “Happiness and contentment comes from within you, and so you should compete with yourself and not others.” He also noted about the growing economic gap between the rich and poor. He addressed the students, “You are the elite youth of the country. Just 10% of country’s youth have access to higher education. So it’s up to you to bridge the divide and be the change.”
Dr. Debroy further said, “India will not change because the government changes. India will change when you change it. You are the young India. We proudly boast of our demographic dividend. We trust you. You are the torch bearers of the young generation. I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I see young entrepreneurs coming up and it is that India which will make it change. Thirty five years from now some of you may be the Chief Guest at a function like this and by then try to transform your potential energy into kinetic energy. May your path be auspicious and may your path be full of fortunes”.
Earlier Dr. Debroy presented medals to the 99 meritorious students of the University which include 59 Endowment Medals, 20 University Medals and 20 SC/ST Medals.
Professor Appa Rao Podile, Vice Chancellor of the university, presented an array of awards to the various achievers from different fields. The most illustrious amongst those was Dr Niyaz Ahmed, Head of department of Biotechnology, who won the prestigious Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize and Dr. Surajit Dhara of School of Physics who won the Swarnajanati Prize.
Both have been recipients of Chancellor’s award previously and were awarded a cash prize of Rs. 50,000 each
Dr. Bibek Debroy Chief Guest speaks at the XVIII Convocation
Dr. Bibek Debroy of NITI Aayog was the Chief Guest of the 18th Convocation of the University of Hyderabad.
In the traditional system it is called “Samavartan” which means “to return”. In the ancient Gurukula tradition students used to return back to their homes after the completion of their education and then they were ready to step into the next phase of their life. Similarly today you are ready to step into a new phase of life.
In our tradition it is also called as “Snatak” which has its roots in “snan” which means “to bathe to purify oneself”. Likewise today you pass completely into a new and fresh stage of life .It has been said in Sanskrit texts that a student learns one fourth each from his teacher, his intelligence, his fellow students, and one fourth from his life, time and destiny. But I think you learn much more through your destiny and life which you will realize soon. You have been imparted many skills here which will help you to do well in life.
I don’t know what your age is. I can tell you from my experience that at the age of 20 you are ready to take on the world. When you are 40 the world has taken you by then. When you are 60 it doesn’t matters at all and when you reach 80 you feel everything is an illusion. People look for signs and symbols of happiness. As you pass out you get into a rat race and into a world full of competition. Remember that happiness and contentment do not come from outside and from external objects. You will have to understand it.
You don’t compete with others, you compete with yourself. There are several things you may want to do but life has its own plan. Remember, in case one door has closed another door opens. In the course of time some of you may travel abroad and may be successful to get a Green card and settle in US. I don’t have to say much regarding them. But those of you who decide to come back, when you come back from developed countries you may complain why can’t India be like Europe or America. ?I
