environment and
develop young leaders in the field,
the United Nations on June 24, 2010
announced a global environment
educational programme for students.
The Bayer Young Environmental
Envoy Programme (BYEEP)
organized by healthcare company
Bayer and the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP)
will help young people learn about
trends and perspectives in the field
of environmental protection and
sustainability, said a statement from
Bayer.
The programme is open to all Indian
students within the age group of 18-
24 years actively involved in a
current or completed environmental
project. The last date for submission
of entries is Aug 15, 2010. IANS
Masters programme for
healthcare professionals launched
New Delhi: The Institute of Clinical
Research of India (ICRI) on April
27, 2010 said it has launched a
masters degree programme in health
administration to build “appropriate
skilled teams” for the industry which
lacks trained healthcare
professionals.
The institute has started the two-
year course in collaboration with the
Medical University of South
Carolina (MUSC) in the US.
”The Indian healthcare system lacks
trained healthcare professionals and
skilled teams of hospital
administrators are the need of the
hour. The masters programme will
help to build an appropriate skilled
team of hospital administrators,”
ICRI chairman Shiv Ram Dugal said.
Graduates or final year graduation
students in disciplines of medicine,
dentistry, pharmacy, biotechnology,
commerce, economics and
engineering can opt for the course.

Dear Readers,
A BIG THANKYOU for
completing 2 years of
MyEducationalGuide –
Empowering Youth. We celebrate
this 2nd Anniversary by presenting
you, Mega Issue of MEG with a
brand new supplement – WASSUP!
I hope you like this supplement.
It will be a regular feature of MEG.
MEG is not only a platform for
career awareness but also a
platform to connect and grow by
sharing news and views. Your
feedback on articles and
suggestions is highly appreciated.
We at MEG are constantly working
towards making MEG interactive
and student centric. I wish to invite
your stories of success and failures,
guidelines to your fellow student
and words of encouragement and
motivation to the entire student
community across the globe at
This process is for the mutual benefit
of all readers and especially for us
at MEG, as we are working towards
our vision of making MEG the first
International Career Oriented
Newspaper.
At a personal level, I always enjoy
meeting our educators, students,
teachers, not just for business
purpose but more for enhancing my
understanding and knowledge about
many relevant matters. There is lot
that is happening in education circuit
today. MEG could prove to be yet
another learning ground for me and
our readers.
I leave no opportunity to go green
again and again; our WASSUP
supplement features an article on
Environmental Gyaan. We have been
regularly coming up on issues of
environment in the past; we also ran
a contest on “GO GREEN” ideas
(July-Aug’09 to Mar-Apr’10).
Through this supplement, I request
our responsible citizens to beaware
of our needs and one such
important need is “Environment”.
Instead of blaming the system or
the government or the industrialist
let us play our part by not using
plastics, switching off the electricity
when not required, using public
transport or car pooling, having
small plants in your balcony/
window, etc. Let us save our
environment for our next
generation.
I have been an avid reader of
MEG, since it was launched in
July 2008. Over the past 2 years
MEG has presented various career
options to students. It gives
beautiful insight with the right
depth of information required to
pursue the option, if it invokes a
student’s interest.
I hope the students are making
the utmost use of the publication
which comes to them absolutely
free and sharing the information
with other fellow students and
friends.
I wish all the good luck to MEG

“Find something you love and

beautiful and well said! I have
always been a firm believer of this.
Being into teaching profession
gives me immense joy and makes
me learn new things everyday. At
the same time when we interact
with our enthusiastic, young and
raring to go students , we often find
them clueless about their own talents
and skills. Majority of them lack
guidance regarding :
What choices are available to them
in studies?
What are the tried and tested and the
new emerging career options?
How to hone their talents, skills,
hobbies and interests to carve a niche

The bill allows foreign universities
and institutes to set up campuses –
independently or jointly – in India.
We all are aware of the problems
faced by Indian students traveling
abroad for better career
opportunities. These universities on
Indian soil will give an opportunity
to students who want to seek quality
education in the field of research
and other arenas. This has initiated
the debate within the country as to
we should allow foreign universities
to open up their campus in India or
not.
Indian education system is not
evolving with time. There was an
era where we were producing more
of entrepreneurs then graduates and
post graduates of today. Then Indians
shifted from their traditional
‘Gurukul system’ of education to the
British Education system, and are
still blaming the same for our
downfall in providing education.
During the British Raj we started
the system which focused more on
marks/degrees and less on
Knowledge, and we kept on
following it for centuries. On the
contrary, British grew from their
traditional system of teaching to
more analytical development of the
brains. Today if we do not learn from
the international standards we will
lag far behind the rest of the world.
The international universities in the
country will bring in different ways
of teaching and evaluating the
students. We can see a lot of
innovation in primary education
system (especially in big cities)
because of international school’s
branches opening in India. None of
the university in India is ranked
amongst top universities in the world.
We need to ponder a thought as to
why our Journals and research thesis
are not of international standards.
We have such great institutes like
IIT, IIM and AIIMS, still our
international recognition in the field
of research in science or social
science is negligible. Why, students
have to go abroad if they want to
pursue research as their career. We
all have answers to these questions;
the need of the hour is to let the
change come in. We need
international universities to raise our
standards of higher education. It is
a global world and in this era of
globalization if our coming
generation is not taught at global
standards then we all should be
prepared to be blamed by them for
being orthodox in our approach.
Indian universities will also have to
gear up and bring change in
methodology of imparting
knowledge to the students. The
quality of teaching in Indian
universities will eventually rise due
to rise in competition.
But at the same time, onus of
bringing in high quality lies on the
institutes, Government and other
stakeholders who are introducing
these foreign universities to our
country. Institute of Clinical
Research has tied up with one of the
best universities of US i.e. Medical
University of South Carolina, for
providing Master in Health
administration. This kind of tie ups
will definitely cater to the problem
of health care industry in India as
we really do not have professionals
in this sector. In the end the quality
largely also depends on the students
also who enroll for such courses. As
one thing which brings change is
“whether student has enrolled in the
course to attain knowledge of that
field or to get degree in that particular

Indian fashion industry hardly
accounts for 0.5% of international

industry growth rate has improved
to over 10% pa.
With the advent of organized retail

improved drastically. With growing

my mantra
Make notes while you listen.
Get an idea of the overall content.
The listening section is about your
comprehension skills, whether do
you understand what is spoken? Can
you figure out the gist of the content
and purpose of the content? Can you
figure out the attitude of the speaker?
Do you connect with the content?
Are you good at making inferences?
Like any other skill listening too
needs a lot of practice for the non-
native speaker. I recommend: Watch
English movies, Listen to audio
books, and Listen to English music.
Regular listening will increase your
knowledge of vocabulary and
phrases, understanding of
pronunciation and accent.
Do’s and Don’ts of listening.
Do’s
Focus on the content and the flow
of material.
Anticipate what the speaker is
going to say.
Stay active throughout thereby,
you can know what to expect.
Pay attention to the transition of
content i.e. how the speaker moves
from one point to another.
in short : FOCUS
Dont’s
Do not get disturbed by the
speaker’s style and delivery.
Do not assume anything.
Do not bank on your memory,
make notes as you listen.
in short : PRACTISE
For beginners, try listening to short
audio files, and then gradually
increase the length of the file.

Geometric progressions
A geometric progression is a
sequence of numbers where each
term after the first is found by
multiplying the previous term by a
fixed number called the common
ratio. The sequence
1, 3, 9, 27, . . .
is a geometric progression with first
term 1 and common ratio 3. The
common ratio could be a fraction
and it might be negative. For
example, the geometric progression
with first term 2 and common
ratio - is
In general we can write a geometric
progression as follows:
geometric progression: a, ar, ar2, ar
3, ...
where the first term is a and the
common ratio is r.
Some important results concerning
geometric progressions (g.p.) now
follow:
The nth term of a g.p. is given by: ar(n-1)
The sum of the first n terms of
a g.p. is
(valid only if r ≠ 1)
The sum of the terms of a geometric
progression is known as a geometric
series.
If the common ratio in a geometric
series is less than 1 in modulus, (that
is -1 < r < 1), the sum
of an infinite number of terms can
be found. This is known as the sum

In present scenario, India is very
much experiencing the effects of
globalization. Currently almost all
economies are facing financial sector
crisis & threat of global recession.
However Indian economy appears
to have strong foundation and solid
structure. Therefore both advantages
and disadvantages are pushing the
country into a fuzzy state. There are
many factors affecting most of the
fields into growth or into perish. The
education field is also equally
affected. There is a constant
encouragement to train and produce
skilled and technically challenged
manpower; on the contrary the
mushrooming of technical
institutions across the country can
be seen. India has 40 million
unemployed but Indian Inc is
desperately seeking talent. India is
the second largest reservoir of
knowledge: resource engineers,
scientists, managers and skilled
personnel and also with the largest
pool of IT manpower in the world.
On an estimate there are 150,000 IT
professionals in Bangalore as against
120,000 in Silicon Valley. During
the 10th Five Year Plan Period, the
Govt. of India proposes to invest a
sum of USD 1.92 billion for
promotion of higher and technical
education. State of Maharashtra
needs young & capable minds to
think in innovative manner for a
rapid transformation & progress.
Currently only around 25% of
technical graduates and 10 – 15%
of general graduates are suitable for
employment in the ITES Industry.
Projections show that, the IT/ITES
sector will need a workforce of 2.3
million to maintain its current market
share. However, there will be a
potential shortfall of nearly 0.5
million qualified employees and 70%
of this will be in the BPO industry
alone.
India is witnessing an unprecedented
consumption boom. The Economy
is growing by 9 % which results
improvement in income dynamics
along with favorable demographics
and spending patterns are driving
the consumption demand.
Indian retail industry is ranked
among the ten largest retail markets
in the attitudinal shift of the Indian
consumers in terms of “Choice
Preference” , ‘Value for Money ‘the
emergence of organized retail
formats have transformed the face
of retailing in Indian retail industry.
Retail Industry will require qualified
trained & skilled manpower in the
immediate future to cater the
consumption needs.
Internationally recognized and cost
effective education of high quality
attracts students from all over the
world to India. Foreign universities
are increasingly looking at India and
especially Maharashtra state as a
potential resource base.
In India, there are 272 universities
(including 18 central universities),
81 deemed universities, five
institutions established through state
and central legislation and 11
institutes of national importance
established through central
legislation.
At present around 84 per cent of
total enrolled are concentrated in the
fields of Arts, Science and
Commerce, while the remaining 16
per cent are in professional fields.
So considering the tough completion
with the foreign universities we
have;
1. To prepare our students for a
challenging career in industry as
leaders.
2. T o build the spirit of
entrepreneurship in our students in
setting-up world class enterprises
that will inspire our future
generations.
3. To develop our students as
potential teachers who will guide
and mould the future of
education q
Merchandising in textiles is different
then consumer product companies.
In textiles merchandising is
responsible for making product
successful or failure. It means finding
new customers and market. It is also
responsible for retaining customer
and attracting more order from them.
Merchandiser acts as a bridge
between company and the customer.
In short it is more close to marketing.
Merchandising in textiles is most
attractive and good paid job. It is
quite worthy to be taken as career.
Merchandiser plays and important
role in textiles.
In textile merchandising one can
work in segments below:
3 In brands - Merchandiser do all
sorts of job like designing, research,
promotion, selecting fabric, styles
& shades for respective seasons.
3 In manufacturing companies –
Merchandiser are mainly responsible
for completion of sampling,
production and price negotiation
3 In buying houses/liaison offices
– Merchandiser plays role of middle
man between manufacturers and
their buyers.
This job offers more growth than
any other jobs in textile sector;
however it is an opportunity only
for the right candidates.
VISUAL MERCHANDISING
Visual merchandising is creating
visual displays and arranging
merchandise assortment within a
store to improve the layout and
presentation to increase the sales
The role of visual merchandiser is
to choose fixture and fittings to be
used, method of product
presentation, to construct ‘off shelf’
displays, to use of point of sale
materials, to construct window
display.

Since human
b e g i n n i n g ,
food and
shelter are the
two most
i m p o r t a n t
necessities in
that order.
H o w e v e r ,
clothing comes immediately after
that.
Clothing is a synonym for textiles
as per layman’s understanding.
And a career in one of the basic
need is here to stay forever. To take
you down the aisle of this kingdom,
I’d like to take up avenues to textile
manufacturing.
Textile manufacturing sector can be
broadly classified into following
subsectors.
1. Production of synthetic
fibres : Advances in Polymer
Chemistry, Fiber Science, and
Chemical Engineering have led to
the development and production of
different types of synthetic fibers.
With introduction of Biotechnology
in this area we get to have newer
and better fibers.
2. Spinning : Conversion of natural
fibers like cotton, wool, silk, flax,
jute etc. into more usable form of
yarn or thread is a vast technology
area by itself. Spinning involves
blend of natural and synthetic fibers
converted into yarns. Currently the
focus is on ecofriendly and energy
efficient technologies.
3. Weaving : Conversion of single
dimensional yarn or thread into two
dimensional woven fabrics was a
leading textile craft in ancient times.
The newer technologies have made
this craft much developed and
versatile. The weaving machines are
known as looms. The automatic
looms have increased production
with severe reduction in fabric
defects. The research is now on three
dimensional weaving machines.
4. Knitting : Conversion of single
thread or yarn into a two dimensional
knit fabric is also an ancient craft.
This ancient craft has also become
a modern technology area with
newer machine technologies like
warp knitting and weft knitting. Well
known knit applications of daily use
are socks, sweaters, t-shirts,
innerwear etc. however, knitting
technology has many sophisticated
applications in areas like medical
textiles.
5. Chemical Processing : Previous
technological sectors produced
textiles whose visual appearance, or
feel or other properties could not be
changed in the manufacturing
processes. It required applications
of chemicals, machines and energy
to make changes in many properties,
changing of visual appearance means
operations like bleaching i.e.
whitening of the textile material or
coloration operations like dyeing and
printing. Finishing technology does
not only change visual appearance
but also feel, or chemical resistance
to micro organisms. It can give
desirable properties like hard or soft
feel, flammability resistance or
resistance to stain etc. Application
of bio technology for ecofriendly

Without beating around the bush,
I am getting perspective here on the
Educational Reforms to shape our
Indian Educational System:
Reform 1:
The eleventh plan talks about the
Public-Private Partnership (PPP)
which is to encourage private sectors
participation in meeting the needs
of national development.
PPP is already being adopted in
several infrastructure development
sectors, such as airports, railways,
roads, etc and now it plans to extend
it to the human development sectors
such as education and health.
As per this plan schools will be set
up by 2014 and each school will
have about 2,500 students, 1,000 of
who will be from deprived sections
and charged a token fee of Rs. 25/
Rs. 50 per head . The remaining
costs of these students, estimated to
be Rs.1,000 to Rs.1,200 per head
per month, will be reimbursed by
the Union government to the schools.
It is estimated that the government
will have to pay Rs.10,500 crore until
2017. The amount is likely to go up
with escalating prices, in general,
and increasing costs of education, in
particular.
The few important aspects are:
1. It involves a massive transfer of
resources from the exchequer to
private schools.
2. The schools have unlimited
freedom in all aspects of governance,
including specifically the fees to be
charged from the 1,500 students. The
model thus allows the so-called non-
profit institutions to work for, and
actually make, profits.
3. The government has little control
over these schools. Except to insist
that 1,000 students from the deprived
sections be admitted and that they
be charged a certain fee, it cannot
do much.
There is a growing fear that PPP in
education will lead to
commercialization of education and
will degrade our education system
totally. This will invite commercial
companies, whose motives is to
ensures maximum profits with the
objective of the Right to Education
Act that promises free and
compulsory elementary education.
Reform 2 :
“The Right of Children to Free and
Compulsory Education Bill, 2009?
seeking to provide education to
children aged between 6 to 14 years,
was passed in Parliament in August
2009.
The announcement also includes
imposing Hindi language and
suggestion for taking X’th standard
Board Examination as optional with
grading system for assessment in
class room.
There is also a recommendation that
courses are restructured so that
undergraduates have access to all
disciplines which according to me
is a welcome step if it comes through.
However the problem that India
faces is not unemployment, but
unemployability. A study by
McKinsey and the National
Association of Software and Services
Companies a few years ago found
that barely 25% of engineering
graduates are employable. The above
act will derail the Indian economy
growth due to severe reduction of
the % of employable in India.
There is also a debate on the shortage
of 1.2 million trained teachers in the
next five years and the need to fill
this demand by the government if
it is serious enough to implement.
Reform 3 :
Foreign Education Institution
(Regulation of Entry & Operation)
Bill, 2010 empowers foreign
university to set up campuses –
independently or jointly – in India
(Dr. Shweta Gaur’s article in this
In this the foreign institutes will be
allowed to set their own fees like
other private institutions. They will
not be subject to various quotas such
as SC/ST/OBC.
This bill is not through yet and may
not find it easy to get the nod even
of the Rajya Sabha considering the
opposition from the left; BJP may
also join them.
The goals according to me of this
bill are:
a. Increasing capacity of higher
education system
b. Improving the quality of higher
education system
c. Generating forex inflow as
international students may come to
India for study purpose
d. Saving countries forex as Indian
students going abroad for study
purpose may fall in numbers
The general doubt regarding FEI
Bill, 2010 is that Ivy League (top)
processes and energy efficient novel
processes are frontier areas of
development.
6. Non Wovens : Conversion of
fibres and slivers (loose rope like
assembly of fibres) into many useful
domestic and industrial products is
a field of advanced technology in
itself. The consumption of non
woven products is increasing at very
high rate.
These are major textile
manufacturing sectors.
In these technological sectors, there
are certificate courses, diploma, and
degree and post graduate degree
programs offered by some well
known textile institute in India.

The global warming has happened in the past few years and is evident from the rise in
mean temperature of the earth’s atmosphere.
The global warming has led to increase in mean earth surface temperature and thus
melting of polar ice.
The effect of global warming is very evident on the animal kingdom also. Some animals
have become extinct due to loss of their natural habitat or their inability to evolve to the
rapid changes in the climate.
The effect of global warming can be felt on seasons too. There is shift in season cycle, as
the summers are getting longer than the winters.
The global warming is also responsible for the introduction of some new diseases.
Global warming is also effecting the crop production, as the crops are getting destroyed
by the sudden change in temperatures or sudden on set of rains.
As a matter of fact, because of global warming, the earth’s atmosphere is getting more
unpredictable with heavy rains in the areas, which have scanty rainfall or drought in the
areas, which received good annual rainfall.

Music to ears
the word radiates warmth, light
it brings to me the feeling
that I crave for,
I may be sad but for
those few moments, I am myself.- Anon
