Dr K Jayakumar Vice Chancellor Page 03 The University The Sikkim Manipal University of Health, Medical and Technological Sciences (SMU), Gangtok is incorporated under the State Legislative Act (Act IX of 1995) of the Government of Sikkim. It is recognized by the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development and by the University Grants Commission. SMU's Degrees/ Diplomas/Certificates are recognized by all members of the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and are at par with Degrees/Diplomas/Certificates of all Indian Universities/Deemed Universities/Institutions vide UGC Circular No FI-B/92 (CPP) dated February 1992 & AIU Circular No EV/B(449)/94/176915-177115 dated January, 1994. The University was set up in partnership between the Manipal Education and Medical Group and the Government of Sikkim with the objective of offering quality education to students and working professionals. Apart from regular on-site courses, the University offers many career oriented courses via distance education. These courses are offered as part of its effort to bring education to the masses, fulfill the growing demand for professionals. Manipal Universal Learning, which is the Learning Resource Development Center (LRDC) for SMU, delivers these programs. The courses include Master's, Bachelor's, Diploma and Post Graduate Diploma programs. Twinning programs have also been launched in collaboration with IT organizations. The main advantage that distance education offers students is in providing requirement-based and career oriented programs while making flexible course offerings, delivery systems and processes. The University uses a strong nationwide network of Learning Centers to deliver its programs. This enables a student to choose a Learning Center that is easily accessible to him/her. These Learning Centers act as access points for the purpose of advising, counselling or rendering any assistance required by the students in context of the University’s distance education programs. To improve the quality of lectures and faculty presentations, the University recognized Learning Centers have been equipped with an effective interactive distance learning system that makes use of VSAT technology. These presentations, broadcast from studios at Manipal, Bangalore and Mumbai can be seen and heard live by the students in their respective centers. SMIT Campus, SMU Page 04 Taking Distance out of Education uses VSAT technology to deliver interactive quality education to students, thereby breaking the barriers of time, geography and distance. VSAT or Very Small Aperture Terminal is a small software-driven equipment used for reliable transmission of video and audio data via satellite. It can be plugged into an existing terminal equipment and does not require additional personnel or technology for its operations, thereby providing virtually errorfree digital data communication. The studios located at Manipal, Mumbai and Bangalore are equipped with the most sophisticated video, audio and broadcasting systems. These include studio cameras, video mixers, editing equipment and interactive software systems, which create virtual classrooms. The broadcasts are received through remote station equipment stationed at the Learning Centers. A faculty member delivers the lecture in the studio and students can see and hear the lecture, ask and answer questions. This is done either by using a PC or a TV screen in the classroom at the Learning Center. The lecture therefore can be simultaneously attended by thousands of students at different Learning Centers across the country. The faculty member composes questions which are shared with the students during the lecture or through the internet. The students answer these questions either by email or by voice or by using a text based chat software. Learning material is also housed on servers and can be accessed by students for future reference. Virtual classrooms therefore create an interactive environment, providing quality training to a large number of students in geographically dispersed sites.

Information Technology is changing every aspect of human life - be it in communication, trade, manufacturing, services, culture, entertainment, education, research, defence or global security. It is breaking age old barriers and building new connections in a fast emerging global village and will soon become the chief determinant in the progress of nations, communities and individuals. The Government of India has recognized the potential of Information Technology in the all-round development of the nation. The National Agenda for Governance has identified Information Technology as one area where India can quickly establish global dominance. Hence, it has mandated the Government to take the necessary policy and program related initiatives to facilitate India's emergence as an Information Technology Superpower in the shortest possible time. Information Technology can prove to be a treasure trove with tremendous pay-offs in terms of wealth creation and generation of high quality employment. The recommendations of the National Task Force on Information Technology cover a wide spectrum of issues. It includes telecommunications, finance, banking, revenue, commerce, electronics, human resource development, defence and rural development. It also addresses critical national needs in the areas of information infrastructure, internet access, software development & exports, hardware manufacture, electronic commerce, research in IT, manpower training and education. Today IT and telecom have blended into a single integrated system. This acceleration in service levels could be extended to every citizen and multiplied across user segments. The growth of IT and telecommunications in India has proved that data processing into information is a profitable business proposition. By the end of this decade, the entire country will have IT-enabled services in the fields of customer interaction, finance and accounting, data search and integration, e-education, tele-medicine and e-governance. Banking & Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) continues to be the largest vertical, garnering 39 per cent of software development. Service exports, retail, manufacturing, healthcare and telecom services are the new emerging areas. Page 06 India is also emerging as a hub for application outsourcing, custom application development, embedded software, offshore product development, research and development. India's offshore services, which contributed over $5.4 billion to the country's export revenues, are expected to reach $8.5 billion in 2005-06. The country's e-governance policies, with a proposed outlay of $560 million, will also result in the growth of such projects in India. The software industry in India is nearly $10 billion strong, with a flat domestic market of $ 2 billion contributing to 16 percent of the nation's exports. In the next two decades, the nation's GDP is expected to double - the software industry's contribution is expected to increase at least ten fold. The software and hardware industries will become a formidable component of the nation's wealth. India has tremendous market potential in the areas of tele-education, tele-medicine, infotainment, e-governance and other relevant fields. If provided with the much needed thrust, Information Technology can touch every single individual of India's one billion populace. While we see the growth of the software industry, one should not forget that this has also accompanied investments on hardware of foreign origin. The rapid penetration of cell phones and the possible standardization of "Citizen Smart Cards" shows that, by proper planning, the country could find emerging opportunities in the hardware industry. Outsourcing of Information Technology (IT) jobs will continue, and one out of every four high-technology jobs in developed nations today may be outsourced to emerging markets such as India by 2010, according to the research firm Gartner Inc. In terms of offshore centers, India remains the undisputed leader, with China and Russia emerging as strong contenders. Using high-speed telecommunications, India-based firms offer services including insurance claims processing, payroll accounting, data tabulation and equity research to clients or overseas parent companies located around the world. Jobs in India's booming software services sector grew to 23 per cent in the year ending March 2004, as the sector benefitted from outsourcing by global clients. Expansion by existing players, new entrants, bigger projects, mergers and acquisitions and the setting up of R&D bases make for perfect ingredients in this growing pie. The supply of IT professionals is likely to outgrow demand by over 50,000 in 2008 with the total number of professionals growing to touch 12 lakhs on the projected demand of 11.20 lakhs, says NASSCOM. In 2003-04, fresh induction to the IT work force was around 149,593, while the projections for 2005-06 had placed it at 1,60,152. The software industry requires people with skills in programming, web development, coding and design. Page 07 Teaching Technology Teaching is known as one of the noblest professions. Good teachers are respected and credited for developing quality students. This is one of the most important careers a person can choose as it carries with it immense responsibility. Teachers are responsible for mentoring and moulding a child into a responsible adult and citizen. Teachers have to follow a mandated curriculum and parallely develop their own teaching methods to make classes and lectures an interesting and inspiring experience. Much of our individual success is based on education, training and continued learning experiences. Hence educators are required to assist students who want to learn new skills as well as upgrade their existing skills. The demand for good teachers is expected to grow significantly in the future, not only at the primary school levels but also at the higher levels. Management With the growing complexity of all commercial activity and the entry of multinationals, the need for systematic and efficient management practices has created a huge demand for competent personnel in all areas of business and commerce. Like the organized sector of commerce and industry, the traditionally non-organized sectors like agriculture and handicrafts are realizing the need for professional management. This has opened up limitless opportunities in diverse spheres for students of commerce and allied subjects. The MBA has become a degree of choice for the talented Indian student. This change can be attributed to the Indian Government's liberalization of the economic policy and encouragement given to the multinational companies to invest in India. There is a good scope for MBA graduates to occupy positions of prestige and responsibility, with attractive remuneration levels. Fashion Technology Fashion is ever changing - a constant process of selection, adoption and change. It is triggered by people, events, social, economic and technological changes. No wonder, fashion and apparel designing have become one of the fastest growing professions in India in recent times. The world of clothes and accessories has expanded into a giant industry, both for the domestic market and for export. Today, the fashion industry in India is a high growth sector with a turnover in crores. There is an ever-growing demand for designers who can come up with innovative designs that are commercially viable in both domestic and export markets. With fashion becoming a big business and India emerging as one of the major players in the global apparel market, the need for qualified professionals in this field has increased tremendously. Page 08 With beauty pageants, fashion shows, foreign labels and a public that is increasingly becoming fashion-conscious, a fashion designer has enough opportunities to exhibit his/her talent. If one is enterprising, he/she can set up his/her one's own manufacturing or export unit, which will bring attractive financial returns. Alternatively, one can seek a lucrative job in the textile industry. A fashion designer is no longer an anonymous entity. As long as people feel the urge to dress well, there will always be a need for more designers to provide a variety of clothing that is appealing and trendy. Journalism Good journalism informs, analyses and shapes opinion. Due to the enormous influence it exerts on the lives of people, journalism is also referred to as the 'Fourth Estate'. The growing awareness that knowledge is power has also given an impetus to the regional and vernacular press to expand and strengthen its scope in the past few years. Diversification in different areas of mass communication is witnessing a steep rise and is expected to thrive further on account of growing professionalism and advancement in this sector. Anyone who is creative, dynamic, enterprising and has a flair to project his/her ideas, thoughts, observations through different media of communication can accommodate himself/herself comfortably in this industry. Computers, especially the advent of the Internet, have brought in new and challenging opportunities in the communication segment. It is attracting more and more people from traditional forms of mass media. Opportunities for placement in diverse fields of mass communication are available in publishing houses, radio and television companies, entertainment industry, media industry, advertising agencies, public relations agencies, government organizations and more. Biotechnology Biotechnology is defined as the use and manipulation of living organisms to manufacture food, drugs or other products beneficial to mankind. The boom in biotech is mainly due to genetic engineering in which simple life forms are manipulated to make entirely new products. Biotechnology has a wide range of applications in science and industry. A genetic engineer hopes to provide the society with a vast range of innovations such as more effective and cheaper pharmaceutical products, more food products, new approaches to the generation of energy, the recovery of resources, pollution control and the diagnosis and correction of genetic disorders. India today boasts of some well known companies who have forayed successfully into this sector and have made a mark on the international map.
