Thank you for your comment. We appreciate your feedback. We would like to point out, however, that the company names in the article were in no way intended to be an exhaustive list, but were purely illustrative. If you read the paragraph carefully, the article talks of Consulting and Finance firms warming up to the campus; to illustrate this point, we picked a few companies falling into these categories. As you are probably aware, Rio Tinto, Schlumberger and Facebook do not fall under either of these categories. To the best of our knowledge, all the information presented in the article is accurate, and we would be more than willing to publish an errata if you do point out errors in the facts presented.

Companies like Facebook, Rio-Tinto, Schlumberger ….. are not mentioned… gives clear indication that author of this article has misses many important things.(Lack of complete information)

This is not criticism but feedback for better control …Hope u guys will take care in next time …. Have a nice day.

It is very much pleasing to see that your services; updating the kgpian with the latest developments inside the campus, discussions and interviews on relevant issues, taking up issues for the betterment of the students, etc., are being by all (including the teachers). Besides that, importantly, it is getting much better with each publication. Congrats to each of you.

However, there is something that I missed among the contents:
A small column dedicated for enlightening the youth on the need of saving environmental resources.

None of us cares for it, thinking that it is never going to affect us. But the studies says that, after 20-25 years, with an annual salary package of 15 lakhs, it is not enough to buy the required amount of pure drinking water and oxygen (yes for breathing) for a single person, leave about the family. Our generation is going to face a big disaster, which cannot be probably stopped but may be delayed (if we co-operate). I hope that ‘Scholarsavenue’ will take up this issue with its total seriousness.

I can also send you some educating slides with pictures and captions regarding the same.

Best wishes for all your future efforts

It was a while that I got myself updated with latest on KGP. Nitin Basant was/is a dear Jr who did this personally updated at many occassions for a while.

Anyways, It was quite pleasing to see that good work is going and importantly is getting much better with each publication.

This is something that I missed among all content:
– Current hall standing in various GCs

Also I would like to give a food for thought on you most recent poll going on, “Is it possible to have fair and “pactless” elections in Kgp?”.

It is usually seen as a very bad thing to have pacts and than force students to vote for particular cnadidate rather have the rule of democracy and a lot more … ( I am sure all in -ve direction)

I wwould like the editorial team to ponder on these few points and may be come up with an article. (My sincere apology, I am not very good a writing otherwise would love to write and submit one)

Here are issues around which KGP election can be seen:
– Pacts are like a national party, a combination of regional parties. As by law these regional party can not combine to make one national party.
– Forced voting is much like what we see in Parliament where MPs abide to the decision of Party mandate rather than individual thinking. In case of defiance, they even face expulsion.
– Pacts help in reducing randomization with fewer, focused and screened candidates.

I am sure these things does not get applied in true sense, but what is more important is see the nature of pact as a part of system rather than just forced entity. Post that ensuring how to improve upon this system.

I am sure that team is about to handover the charge and many other important activities are lined in next 4 weeks before end sem hits on.

Still, if this idea gets a place in scholaravenue, do drop me a line. I will be very happy to read through it.

Good Luck Team !!
