Mathematics, Kuvempu University, Shimoga delivered

a lecture on Immensity of Mathematics on December

13, 2016. The resource person though highly qualified in

the field of Mathematics, humbled down to the level of

students and made them learn some beautiful works of

mathematics. The point that captured the attention of

the students was the fact that the Indians have contrib-

uted in a large way to the field of Mathematics. Vedic

Mathematics being one of those works. He made the

students realize how easily a multiplication table could

be learnt. Giving the name of crazy mathematics to this

he made the students calculate the squares of numbers

ending with 5 in a simple and effective way.

After making us learn few important methods to do the

operation between the numbers, he passed on to some

important concepts of mathematics, like the number Pi

and the infinity concept. This was followed by a short

introduction of the well-known mathematicians like

Gauss and Galois.

He urged the students to work in such a way that they

could contribute something new to the field of mathe-

matics. Following that, we had a short note on the appli-

cation of mathematics in day to day life. The pressure

cooker that makes use of the energy equation concept,

the pens that make use of Reynolds‘s number being

some of those applications.

This lecture was an eye opener for the students who

have in a way realized the immensity of mathematics.

Engineering on 17th December 2016 to Pilikula regional

Science Park.

On prior consent from the authorities and under the guid-

ance of the Director of DDU Kaushal Kendra Rev Dr

Praveen Martis SJ, the visit was structurized in order to

enhance their practical stimulation of students and to let

them have an overview on the activities related to life

science.

The students along with two faculty members (Dr Adar-

sha Gowda, Ms Neena Rodrigues) assembled at the Col-

lege Campus at 9.00 a.m.

The journey began at 9.30 a.m. via College bus and

reached the Pilikula regional science centre at 10.00 a.m.

The centre has three main sectors namely Biodiversity,

Fun Science and Frontier of Technology.

At the very beginning we visited the department of Biodi-

versity. As the name suggests the department was

equipped with several models depicting the relationship

between living creatures and its surroundings. Some of

the models exhibited were as follows:

Bioluminescence

Biodegradation

Biological hotspot

Food Chain

DNA barcoding

Nutrient Cycles

As we moved on to the next section called ‗Fun Science‘,

we observed numerous experimental illustrations per-

taining to physics. Some of them being Color shadow, Fun

mirror, Infinity well, Air Cannon etc.

Further we went through the department of technology

named ‗Frontiers of Technology‘ where we acquired

knowledge on some of the recent advances in the world of

technology like Barcode reader, Bengaluru metro rail sys-

tem, Medical imaging, Rockets, Satellites and so on. Ulti-

mately we set foot in to watch 3D movie related to human

defense system. After exploring the science we decided to

take a tour to the biological park of Pilikula which has

the major focus on the wildlife species of Western Ghats.

This park is named as Dr Shivaram Karanth Biological

Park. Different species of animals were displayed. To

name a few of them are white Peafowl, Malabar Giant

Squirrel, Jungle cat, Ruddy Mongoose, Flying Squirrel,

Leopard cat, Tiger, Bear, various species of snake etc.

However, we not just enjoyed watching the animals and

birds but also treated ourselves with refreshments. Final-

ly we left the premises at 1.30 p.m. It was an informative,

interesting and successful visit. As the students of the life

science we got an insight on the functioning of human

body, its interactions with surroundings and so on.

We expressed our gratitude to the Principal, Director for

their constant support and also to all the teaching staff

for their unfailing contributions.

T he Community Development students, of MSW De-

partment went to Tiruvananthapuram and Kanyakumari

for their study tour from 16.11.2016 to 18.11.2016. Visit

students on comprehensive Rural Development Pro-

grammes like awareness building, seminars, employment

generation programs, housing and sanitation, training,

capacity building activities, education, agriculture and

livestock development, micro-ventures, women's develop-

ment, health delivery systems in remote areas, support to

vulnerable sections like orphans, destitute women, aged,

gender sensitivity, introducing innovative farming prac-

tices Interaction with Social Work students of Loyola Col-

lege, Trichy was a platform to discuss the syllabus, field

work practicum and co curricular activities of both colleg-

es.

Visit to Mitraniketan, People‘s College exposed the stu-

dents to fields of innovation and training in community

development, environment, science, education and appro-

priate technology. Students learnt the idea of offering

education and training in a holistic spirit to primarily

socially underprivileged children and youngsters.

Interaction with leaders of Kanikar tribe of Trivandrum

has helped the

students to wit-

ness the geo-

graphical isola-

tion of tribes in

India, violation of

their rights. They

also analysed the

role of political

parties and need

for social action

towards the de-

velopment of the-

se tribes.

Visit to YMCA

Rural Centre & Institute of Rural Development, Mar-

thandam was a opportunity for students learn the income

generating opportunities based on rural technology like

bee keeping, poultry farming, art and craft from banana

fiber and jute etc.

Apart from learning experiences students also enjoyed

the beauty of Sankumugham Beach, ponnumudi hill sta-

tion, Vivekananda Rock and sun rise.

Administration of Dakshina Kannada in the beautiful

city of Mangaluru.

An integrated theme park with a wide variety of fea-

tures, Pilikula has many attractions of cultural, educa-

tional and scientific interest. Pilikula has derived its

name from ‗Pilikula Lake‘ and the meaning of the word

is ‗Tiger Pond‘ which is today one of the major attrac-

tions.

On December 11th 2016, the students of B.Voc Pharma-

ceutical Chemistry had a field trip to Pilikula science

park center and Pilikula biological zoo which was orga-

nized by the staff of B.Voc Pharmaceutical Chemistry

under the guidance of Rev Dr Praveen Martis SJ. The

journey began from St. Aloysius College at 9.30 AM and

we reached the science park at around 10.25 AM by the

College bus. The students were accompanied by Mr

Ajitha, Ms Deepthi .M. Lobo and Mr Sharath Shetty.

The first thing that caught our eye when we reached

there was a beautiful view of the park with kids all

around enjoying themselves. The Pilikula regional sci-

ence center has been set up jointly by the National

Council of science museum under the ministry of cul-

ture, Government of India with the active support of the

Department of Science and Technology.

As we arrived, the guide requested us to give a visit to

the park, as the park was placed with various scientific

devices like periscope, pipes of pan, lithophone, measur-

ing weight balances, echo tube, simple camera, mechani-

cal thermometer, globe sculpture, voice modulating de-

vice and so on. As we walked through , we entered the

‗Land of Dinosaurs‗ where different species of dinosaurs

models were placed in the separate area of the park de-

picting the valuable information about each of the Dino-

saur species like Dimetrodon Grandis (two–tooth lizard),

Plateosaurus (flat lizard), Branchiosauraus (arm lizard).

After a visit to the park, we moved on to Pilikula region-

al science centre, where we observed working models of

gravity well, Cone runs Vphill, optical illusions , lines of

force reacting with a magnet, sand art, hotspot, Pythag-

orous theorem, head on platter, symapathetic swing,

After moving out of the park, everyone was provided

with refreshments. Later we moved towards the biologi-

cal park, which has the major focus on the wildlife spe-

cies of Western Ghats, this park is named as Dr. Shiva-

ram Karanth Biological Park.

species of animals were displayed. To name a few of

them are white Peafowl, Malabal Gaint Squirrel, Jungle

cat, Ruddy Mangoose, Flying Squirrel, Leopard cat,

Tiger, Bear, various species of snake etc. After a com-

plete view of the zoo we then boarded back to College.

The field trip was a memorable experience where every-

one had an opportunity to learn something new and

modify our ideas based on scientific imagination.

The centre through its interactive science exhibits and

free choice science learning activities has captured the

minds of everyone.

Celebrate! „tis a great gift

C elebrate? What? , Yes celebrate life, for every per-

son is a gift of God to one another. Above all we cele-

brate the gift of our Lord Jesus Christ to humankind by

The Father, and that is Christmas.

Yes we the students of Matrix association celebrated

Christmas on 16th of December with the specially gifted

children at St. Agnes special school at Bendore. It was

the joy of every student to share their Christmas joy

with those children for about an hour in the morning

from 10 to 11 am. Starting with prayer song, entertain-

ing them through creative math, dance and Christmas

play along with the carols we not only gave joy to them

rather we received doubly the joy and peace. It was in-

deed a happy moment in our lives to share Christ with

all whom we met on that day.

We also shared our Christmas joy with the ―Sashay‖ old

age home inmates at Kankanady, by sharing our might

in the form of coconuts, rice, sugar, soap, oil and other

needy things. It was our joy to share our little things

and our love, with the 21 inmates who were need of love

and merciful touch.

On 22nd we the students along with our lecturers cele-

brated Christmas as one family in the department of

Mathematics. God chose a family to be the ‗locus‘ of in-

carnation, His greatest encounter with humanity.

Christmas is therefore about the birth of a family, as

much as it is about the birth of Jesus. And therefore we

the students of Matrix association as one family cele-

brated Christmas, by conducting a short quiz on the

birth of Jesus, creative games highlighting Crib, for

Lecturers and with singing carols and sharing Christ-

mas cake. Thus we celebrated the joy of Christmas in

the oneness of the family of Math. We then dispersed by

picking the names of our Christmas friends keeping

them in our prayers in secret until we meet again at the

dawn of a new year 2017.

May Christmas bring abundant blessings on all people

of good will.

Heart-warming - Students help lady on train, earn husband's gratitude

S ometimes, little deeds of kindness can go a long way in helping somebody. While most of us bemoan the fading

away of humanity and values in today's world, here are three young men who, with their noble act, have set an ex-

ample for all to follow.

Royal Pais, Lincoln Pinto and Stephen Lopes, students of second BCom in St Aloysius College here, came to the res-

cue of a lady who was travelling alone with her infant and inadvertently entered the wrong train coach. The lady's

husband, in an act of equal large-heartedness, has sent an email to the college profusely thanking the three young-

sters.

Here's what happened. On Novemeber 2, the lady, wife of Major Pramod S Dixit, was travelling from Mangaluru

Junction to Bengaluru by Bengaluru Express when she mistakenly got into a wrong coach which was about nine

coaches away from the cor-

rect one. "She was travelling

with heavy baggage and

(our) one-and-half-year-old

daughter. She was strug-

gling with the luggage with

her daughter in her arms. It

was an impossible task of

moving through a running

train to traverse through

eight coaches with an infant

by the arm and heavy lug-

gage," said Major Dixit.

"At this point, about halfway

through this desperate situation, she happened to cross a compartment that was occupied by some students. One boy

readily offered to help her move the heavy baggage till her seat. On reaching the seat, she requested them to help

her with more luggage which she had left behind in the old coach. The boys readily agreed to assist. They then

helped her move a very heavy bag all the way through eight coaches," he explained.

This heart-warming act was much appreciated by Major Pramod S Dixit in his mail to Fr Swebert D'Silva, principal

of St Aloysius College, on Sunday December 4.

"On her enquiry if she could do anything for them, they cheerfully declined any return favours and proudly declared

that they were 'students of St Aloysius'," he said.

Expressing profuse gratitude, Major Dixit told the principal, "Three students of your college saved my wife from a lot

of trouble and deserve a hearty thanks on our behalf. It is my kind request if the students be identified and our grat-

itude be conveyed to them. In the days when morality and social etiquettes are on a down side roll, such selfless acts

by young people is a silver lining. It is indeed doubtless that the grooming by their parents and your institution has

moulded them into such well mannered and selfless individuals."

Speaking to daijiworld, Fr Swebert D'Silva, principal of St Aloysius College said, "The motto of our college is 'To be

men and women for others'. These young boys have done the same. We have a programme called 'Sahaya', wherein

every student has to spend 20 hours in a year visiting orphanages and teaching them and engage in many more ac-

tivities. The college has the responsibility of building better citizens for the country. The noble act by the three stu-

dents will be recognised by the college. All these three students are part of All India Catholic Union Faderation

(AICUF)."

Mother Teresa, or St Teresa of Calcutta, once said, "We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the

ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop". Indeed, every deed of kindness can make this

world a much better place, and the trio from St Aloysius College just proved it.
