Success and achievements are commensurate with will power, hard work, grit, resourcefulness and single-minded approach. The day has come when every student should realize that with Globalization and the tumultuous changes we see in the international scenario, the multinational companies and the corporate world have changed their outlook and methods of assessment of the prospective candidates for offering jobs. Earlier high percentage marks in examinations with distinctions were the only criteria for top jobs. Now the trends have changed and the students are chosen not just for good marks, but more than that they are tested for knowledge they have retained with them. Hence gathering knowledge, understanding, and retaining are more important than studying for exams getting high marks and forgetting thereafter. A saying goes like this “Ordinary things done in an extraordinary way make people great”. “Heights by great men reached and held, Were not attained by a sudden flight. But they while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night!” “ The Natural Beauty at BNMIT is Captivating, Enchanting and Magical.” At BNMIT you are not only prepared for gaining knowledge but you are also given an opportunity to equip yourselves with cultural activities, sports, nature awareness, adventure activities, social services, etc. It has become an additional and important parameter for companies to decide on the right candidate for the top jobs. All this is possible at BNMIT which is located in the beautiful Banashankari area and endowed with an excellent infrastructure, coupled with peaceful environment, offering hassle-free study options. The natural beauty at BNMIT is captivating, enchanting and magical. It is like a feast for the tired eyes, mind, body and soul. The meticulously manicured gardens interspersed with fountains that are like a blessing and an experience that is best when it is felt. BNM`s vision is to provide an all-round excellence in education along with multiple skill acquisition to all those students who enter its portals. Wishing you all the BEST. Narayan Rao R.

Are the present health systems adequate to achieve this? Is there a scientifically acceptable path for total health that has been unearthed? The answer is Yes….!!! It is natural that our body and mind gets disturbed and strained because of the fast pace of our life and the ups and downs of life in the present scenario. The art of maintaining a cool temperament and relaxed mind in spite of these inevitable disturbing factors is an art. In a bid to promote health consciousness among students, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has proposed setting up of a system that offers yoga and meditation classes to students on the university campus and also at affiliated colleges. The move came as a result of the addressed by Prime Minister Shriman Narendra Modi at the United Nations (UN), where he urged one and all to adopt International Yoga Day. According to UGC’s recommendations, the programme involving lessons on yoga and meditation will raise health awareness among students. This will provide students a positive outlook to life and decrease stress. UGC officials further state that, “A clean and healthy mind is as important as clean environment”. Even All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has advocated yoga session as part of the curriculum. Education implies collection, classification and processing of information from the outside world. This demands alertness to quickly accept information and concentration to process it. Our environment has many distractions that hinder this process. Though the World Health Organization stressed the importance of Yoga for quite some time it is after our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s address at WHO, both UGC and AICTE started promoting Yoga for students. It is noteworthy that BNMIT recognized the importance of Yoga for students much before these recommendations and organized Yoga classes for positive physical and mental development that creates an ambience of cool and balanced mind amidst natural distractions. These classes on Yoga kept stress at bay enabling BNMIT students to tolerate strain associated with life. Yoga sessions every morning helped students maintain harmony between body and spirit. It also increased attention span, improved memory and sharpened focus apart from physical and emotional wellness. BNMIT has realised all the benefits long before the various government bodies advocated implementation of yoga as mentioned above and have made it a part of the curriculum. Students in Yoga Practice at BNMIT 40 Amenities Hostel Accommodation: BNMIT provides hostel facilities that are a home away from home.

One of the activities of KALA BHAGEERATHI is ‘BNM IDOL’ where the best singers compete for the elite title. The cultural team under the able guidance of Prof.N.Sheshaprasad, with ample support from the management, has excelled in all its endeavors. “KALA BHAGEERATHI” student members are invited on every Ramanavami day celebrations to give music and dance concerts at Dharmagiri Manjunatha temple. The BNMIT cultural team has always given stiff competition at the university youth festival every year, which is the biggest event of the year where almost all Engineering colleges under VTU participate. The “KALA BHAGEERATHI” team has regularly progressed in VTU Intercollegiate Cultural Festivals from 6th Place in 2003, runners up in the year 2006, and has won the coveted top place among all Engineering colleges of Karnataka in 2010 and earned a place to represent VTU in the South India Inter-university Youth Festival and has won many prizes. BNMIT also represented VTU in the South India Inter-university Youth Festival in 2011`and Krishna T V won silver medal and he represented VTU in the NATIONAL LEVEL Competitions held at Tirupati. In 2012 & 2015, Our college team was Second Runner – up at the annual VTU Festival.

The very opportunity to participate at the university level provides each one of the students, a multitude of exposure and experience. The Kala Bhageerathi students multitask and work as a team. The entire experience is enriching and plays a unique role in BNMIT’s efforts to go beyond academics. A very heartening note about Kala Bhageerathi is that all the participants invariably are distinction holders proving that extracurricular activities enhances academic performance contrary to the general belief that sports, NSS, cultural and Environmental activities come in the way of good academic performance.

Bangalore Final year students are exhibiting their project work in an Exhibition in the presence of Secretary, Dean and HOD of ECE at BNMIT 47 Other Activities: Community & Social Service Bi-annual Nature Club Camp by BNM Friends of Nature Club Students at Anshi & Kulgi Tiger Reserve Forest, Dandeli Save the Tiger Campaign by student members of BNM Friends of Nature Club Adventure & Nature Club BNM FRIENDS OF NATURE CLUB established in 1995 believes that an understanding of nature will give each individual a better perspective of the world as well as himself. The nature club believes that the public should be made aware of the precarious situation our mother earth finds herself with regard to the Global Warming, Ozone layer depletion, consequent major changes in climatic conditions, erratic monsoon and the consequent floods and drought that would make healthy life on earth next to impossible. The admission to the nature club is based on the performance of the student in the Entrance Test. Here the students are tested for their interest in wild life conservation and awareness of the environment, previous social activities undertaken etc. 48 Blood donation camp by NSS unit of BNMIT The club is led by Sri Narayan Rao R. Maanay, Secretary BNMIT and assisted by Prof. N. Sheshaprasad and has about 300 student members. First and fore most, they are taught about the importance of our environment and its conservation, awareness about their responsibilities and knowledge of the flora and fauna. Further, the members are exposed to adventure sports of Para sailing, Mountaineering, Trekking, Water Sports, Environmental Awareness Programs, Tree Planting, Bird Watching, field trips and bi-annual wilderness camps, etc., along with regular audio visual programs and screening of Green Oscar award winning films & documentaries of wild life conservation and environment protection. Most of the birds are going away from the city as in the name of development; thousands of trees have been cut everyday to broaden the roads. Hence this club has installed a number of NESTING BOXES along with BIRD FEEDERS to give the birds a safe place to live and breed. The members are also encouraged to do wild life photography & essay writing about the trip and the winners are given attractive prizes. The nature club gives most of the students an opportunity to break free from regular routine and experience the complex life in all its simplicity. The major and satisfying achievement of the “Nature club” as well as the other units like cultural forum “Kala Bhageerathi”, the Sports association as well as the other associations is that the participants have an outstanding record in their academics improving from first class to distinctions and more. This has virtually quashed the common belief that students are distracted from their studies by taking part in extracurricular activities as felt by many parents. BNM believes that the students in this age group are bubbling with energy and need to relax as they cannot be studying all the time. If they are not engaged in these productive activities to use their spare time and spend their energy, there is every possibility that they would use the same for unacceptable activities. BNM Photography Club The club provides an opportunity to the student members the art of creative, nature and wildlife photography and to capture the beautiful moments with the able guidance of Prof. Eishwar. N. Maanay, where the members are also taught technology involved in photography at the exclusive editing studio and they edit the photos with the help of latest technology.
