Dr. Mishra conducted the FDP with the objective of improving the teaching methods by adopting the case method teaching in the class room. He started his FDP with a case study which was given to the faculty a day earlier with a view that faculty will go through the case and will present their case analysis in the FDP. The case study was about LSI Logic Corp and its growth over a period of time.

All the management faculty both from UG and PG department participated in the discussion. The case analysis and discussion was held from a very diverse view, almost incorporating all the management function.

Dr. Mishra very well demonstrated that how a case needs to be analysed in the class room atmosphere so that actual learning takes place. After concluding the case study analysis he shared his experience and methods that he adopts for teaching IIM students.

He advised faculty members to use plenty of small cases, news paper articles and news items in the class room to increase student’s participation and involvement. He was of the opinion that learning will not take place unless the class is interactive. He shared some of the tips with faculty to make classroom learning effective. He also shared his experience and knowledge about how to write good research papers. .Session ended with vote of thanks.

Session was graced with the benign presence of Dr. A K Puri (DG) and Dr.VidyaSekhri (Director – UG).

The resource person of the workshop were Prof. Smita Kansal & Prof. Varun Arora. 32 Students of MCA-V Semester attended the workshop.

The main speaker of the session was Dr. Vijesh Jain, Professor, I.T.S, Ghaziabad. The FDP covered several topics of current interest in strategic management, marketing and governance based on the theme of the topic. The changing role of the business in society in the current context was deliberated and discussed among the participating faculty members who asked several questions to the speaker and which were duly debated. The session was highly interactive and intense in nature. The participant reported that the discussion was very useful for bringing about change in the direction of management concepts being taught in the class and will help update the concepts with the changing business and geopolitical environment across the world.

The FDP covered several new theories propounded by Sir Michael Porter including the theory of Scale, theory of shared value, theory of advantage by cluster approach and other ideas. These ideas are in line with the current changes taking place in businesses. It was argued by the speaker that the perception of entrepreneur about what their business does in the society and perception about the society what a business does are converging for good and so are the goals of the businesses and the governments. It was further argued that government partnership with businesses is must in the current context for the benefit of the business as well as the society. It was also discussed that governments and NGOs have limited resources to carry out welfare job effectively. This gap can be filled by the role of businesses as societal problem solver rather than societal problems creator.

Prof. Abhay Kumar Ray , Prof. Rakesh Roshan and Prof. Smita Kansal from Department of IT were the key resource person for this workshop. Objective of the workshop :

• This workshop must help the students to understand and take better use of the Arduino Uno, components of Arduino Uno, Application of different sensors , Integration of sensors to the Ardunio chip, Program writing ,development and implementation of application using Arduino Chip and different sensors.
• After this workshop students can develop Arduino chip and sensor based aplications. Pre-requisite: Knowledge of C, C++ . Pedagogy:
• Session based on Introduction and application of Arduino chip and sensors is conducted in Lecture cum Discussion mode.
• Rest of the session conducted in Computer Lab by live demonstration of each of the topic. Content of the workshop:
• Fundamentals of Internet of Things , Introduction of different IoT supporting hardware including Microcontrollers chips and Micro Processor chip , Different kinds of sensors like light sensors , Ultrasonic Sensors etc.
• Introduction to Arduino UNO chip and Raspberry pi, Programming in c/c++
• Programming in C++ for LED , Ultrasonic Sensor, Push Buttons ,Light sensors , Temperature and humidity sensors etc
• Demonstration and Hands on based on Ardunio IDE and application of Adrunio chip and sensors based sketch

Total 56 students from MCA final year were participated in this workshop. Students showed their interest to learn this technology and I am sure that participants of this workshop can develop apps by using Arduino IDE and supporting sensors . Session Schedule sheet and attendance sheets of above mentioned session is attached for reference.

The workshop was attended by a number of management faculties of I.T.S. The workshop was highly interactive and focused on common problems of manuscript submitted for publication in top journals. The workshop also included training on Structural Equation Modeling with the help of pertinent examples and real life research problems discussed during the deliberations.

The highlight of the workshop was a very useful feedback by Dr. A.K. Puri, Director General, I.T.S, Ghaziabad who took time to attend the entire event and even taking efforts to conduct relevant exercises related to the topic of the workshop. All faculty members who attended the workshop thanked the resource persons for being helpful in sharing their rare skills on the topics of the workshop.

First day of the workshop attended by 46 student of MCA IV Section A and second day of the workshop attended by 34 students of MCA IV Section B . Mr. Anurag Dubey (HR Manager) , Mr. Sagar Bhalla and Mr. Vipul Saini ( senior software engineer) form CEBS Worldwide Noida were the resource person of this workshop and this workshop was coordinated by Mr. Balmukund Singh and Prof. Abhay Kumar Ray. It was an effort of the CRC-IT to make the students aware about the current market trends of C and its implementation in real life scenario. This workshop will motivate the students to practice the C related question for upcoming placement drives. It also covered the socket programming and demonstration of socket programming by simple chat application. Total 80( Eighty ) students of MCA Second year participated in the workshop and their feedback related to workshop is very positive. The attendance sheet of students is attached with this report for reference.

The workshop was aimed to provide concepts of project development using JSP, Servlets on MVS followed by hands on by the students. The workshop was conducted by Prof. KP Singh and Prof. Gaurav Midha as resource person. Most of the interested students attended this workshop.

The workshop was started with brief overview of MVC architecture. In this part the MVC concept along with its evolution, types and frameworks were discussed with students. The workshop was further continued with demonstration cum detailed discussion of a module developed in JSP, Servlets, JDBC, JSTL based on MVC architecture.

The logic of source codes of all the required programs in JSP, Servlet and JSTL was explained and integration of all the programs was demonstrated to the students.

In later part of the workshop, the students made hands on practice for development of the same module by their own. The students learned configuration of development environment like, Tomcat, MySQL on Eclipse IDE.
