BHU Kulgeet

मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी । यह तीन लोकों से न्यारी काशी । सुज्ञान धर्म और सत्यराशी ।। बसी है गंगा के रम्य तट पर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी । मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी ।। नये नहीं हैं यह ईंट पत्थर । है विश्वकर्मा का कार्य सुन्दर ।। रचे हैं विद्या के भव्य मन्दिर, यह सर्वस्रष्टि की राजधानी । मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी ।। यहाँ की है यह पवित्र शिक्षा । कि सत्य पहले फिर आत्मरक्षा ।। बिके हरिश्चन्द्र थे यहीं पर, यह सत्यशिक्षा की राजधानी । मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी ।। यह वेद ईश्वर की सत्यवानी । बने जिन्हें पढ के ब्रह्यज्ञानी ।। थे व्यास जी ने रचे यहीं पर, यह ब्रह्यविद्या की राजधानी । मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी ।। यह मुक्तिपद को दिलाने वाले । सुधर्म पथ पर चलाने वाले ।। यहीं फले फूले बुद्ध शंकर, यह राजॠषियों की राजधानी । मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी ।। सुरम्य धारायें वरुणा अस्सी । नहायें जिनमें कबीर तुलसी ।। भला हो कविता का क्यों न आकर, यह वाक...

Ten Common Errors When Building a New World-Class University

ITBHU has always owe much of their success to the exceptional leadership qualities of the founder Madan Mohan Malviya: who inspired, mobilized and showed the way to the establishment of BHU with a vision. Over the long run, however, this element of strength has devolved into a limiting factor. Our institution had not make provisions for orderly transition procedures with changing times and funding of grants. hence have been pushed back by new colleges. Achieving the ambitious result of launching a high quality is easier said than done. Conversion of IT BHU to IIT will surely give college huge fund. Almost all the structure is established one and need only few bureaucratic changes in administration. So if the entire working culture is same, then what is the difference in new IIT -BHU and old ITBHU ? Jamil Salmi's paper on Ten Common Errors When Building a New World-Class University is presented as blog post here as it is the urgent need of time to rebuild the mission and stru...

Sine die at BHU

How many of you have heard this Latin word sine die (which means without a day or postponement for an indefinite time)? Well, it was a buzzword around BHU three decades ago during our time. Between 1967 and 1975, there was a period of violent demonstrations, resulting in closure of entire university for about 2-3 weeks every year. Till 1967, our university was known as internationally reputed central university. Students flocked to the university from all over India as well as from abroad. The political trouble started when Vice Chancellors were political appointees by ruling (Congress) party. To challenge the government,opposition Bharatiya Jan Sangh/RSS) party started violent demonstration. A typical sine die ran like this: Just after Diwali vacation was over, there was daily political speech given by a local street leader. Sponsored by the opposition, he stood just outside university’s main gate and delivered profane against, govt., VC and university administration. A small passerby...

Caste and Education

Image
Caste is so complex matter that it is constantly changing and adjusting to new circumstances. This poses a great challenge for all of us because it is deeply embedded in the mind of India and caste attitudes are not fading away even after so much education. Today, Indian society still retains part of the age old caste system and that Dalits still face social stigma even in urban circles. The manners and food habits of those from the lower section of the social ladder are still laughed at by the so-called upper class who are unwilling to let them enter their world unless it is for their benefit. 1- 26th January is approaching near, still a question arises in my mind. Why eminent persons like Dr. Ambedkar, Sardar Patel and Ram Manohar Lohia are reduced and viewed as caste representative leaders in political circles? 'Blowin' in the Hind' is an article exploring about Dr. Ambedkar on the eve of the Great Indian Republic Day. 2- A special report from the 2nd day of Jaip...

My Graduation Years -2

You can get me out of ITBHU but not ITBHU out of me. ( asliyat mein bahut muskil se pass hua hoon ). Hence, few days of rehabilitation programme end today with this article. Graduation Years: Again, a look on events in near history. Probably history was after all, meant to be a study of human consciousness in guilt. Of course, there is always a need to realize something valuable out of the past, that a study about the past is after all a human being’s reverse-troubleshooting guide. Hence, I retrospect about my graduation days again and again. I may be cutting the branch which has helped me to reach this height. Still a flaw in the system can't be supported in the name of promoting few incompetents like me. When I was passing time casually in graduation years, rest of the world was moving with fast pace. I was provided with good teachers, infrastructure, 24 hours uninterrupted supply of Internet, water and electricity in college to support my study. I had misused them un-proporti...

Playing Devil's advocate for Banaras Hindu University

Image
Banaras Hindu University is an internationally reputed temple of learning, situated in the holy city of Varanasi. This Creative and innovative university was founded by the great nationalist leader, Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya , in 1916 with cooperation of great personalities like Dr Annie Besant , who viewed it as the University of India. Recently, The South Campus of the Banaras Hindu University is attempting to become the first carbon neutral (rate of emission and absorption of carbon being equal) university campus in the country , with a massive plantation drive of 1.76 lakh saplings on 400 acres of land under National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) Scheme in the region. Already BHU has placed a ban on Coke and Pepsi on campus. They are the positive aspects of the development and more can be found out here . These are good news but now I will embark our journey to some 'negative items' unknown in mainstream media. I often quote the Spanish born American phi...

Vichaar Shoonya-1

1. To start a culture change all we need to do is two simple things: - Do dramatic story-worthy things that represent the culture we want to create. Then let other people tell stories about it. - other people who do story-worthy things that represent the culture we want to create. Then tell stories about them. Example: A story of sheer passion by Santosh Ojha.--- Jo Chaho Ujiyaar . 2. Best Compliment ever received by Banaras Hindu University. Remark is given by Bhupen Hazarika . " In Guwahati, I was an Assamese. In Kolkata, I became a Bengali but I became an Indian after coming to Uttar Pradesh, particularly BHU ." [ Source ] #For More BHU nostalgia, Download this ppt . 3. Matt Tabbi 's reveal us about some hidden facts and his hypothessi about Goldman Sachs: The Great American Bubble Machine.

Present of ITBHU-Infrastructre

I have already discussed or just dictated about mighty past of IT-BHU before . We lack the facilities and infrastructure as compared to IITs and all of us agree on this fact. Just compare the budgets allotted by central government, they are ahead of us ten times. Lack of the advanced facilities in IT-BHU don't discourage students, but the most discouraging thing here is the work culture. People simply do not want to work. The Sarkare Babushai system has acquired a long roots here. Neither they interfere in your work nor they support genuine effort. You stand alone just on your knowledge and skills; Some helping seniors who had been facing same working environment from years are there for guidance. Few teachers are involved in upgrading the institute but most of them just don't have lively interaction with the students. Flow of information about mischief and local politics spread like velocity of light but someones good work are not heard in campus news. Many people are not e...

Our Institute of Technology , like all other Faculties and Departments of the Banaras Hindu University , also owes its existence to the far-sighted vision and relentless efforts of its founder Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya. During the days of freedom struggle, three engineering and technological institutions were established by Malviyaji, viz. the Banaras Engineering College (BENCO) in 1919, the College of Mining and Metallurgy (MINMET) in 1923 and the College of Technology (TECHNO). After the establishment of the Indian Institutes of Technology, the three premier engineering institutions of our University viz., BENCO, MINMET and TECHNO were merged to form the Institute of Technology (IT-BHU) to provide a strong and integrated educational base. Thus our Institute came into fullfledged existence in 1971. To preserve its excellence and national character admission procedures through the Joint Entrance Examination ( IITJEE) for undergraduate courses and Graduate Aptitude Test in E...
