This newsletter is an attempt towards achieving motivation.

Excellence is only a matter of rational thinking. Much depends upon

the use we make of our institution.

This newsletter also gives an opportunity to our faculty and

students to spotlight their insights, ideas and innovations. This also

challenges the readers to stimulate their thinking and put them in

proper mindset.

Our goal through this newsletter is to stimulate their thoughts and

responses. One of the hallmarks of success is to implement within

our own organization the very best ideas out there, regardless of

where those ideas originated.

I am deeply indebted to all the members who have encouraged and

contributed their ideas in bringing out this newsletter.
