3. His team carved a hole in the wall that separated NIIT campuses from slum areas. Why did they carve hole in the wall?
On 26th January, Dr. Mitra's team carved a "hole in the wall" that separated the NIIT premises from the adjoining slum in Kalkaji, New Delhi. Through this hole, a freely accessible computer was put up for use. This computer proved to be an instant hit among the slum dwellers, especially the children. With no prior experience, the children learnt to use the computer on their own.

Wikang Filipino : Mahalin Ang Sariling Atin

     "Wikang Filipino, Wika ng Saliksik". Ito ang tema para sa taunang pagdiriwang ng buwan ng wika. Ito ang panahon na kung saan ipinagdiriwang natin ang simbolo ating pagkapilipino, ang wikang Filipino.      Ano ang ginagamit mo pag nag-sasaliksik ka ng iyong mga takdang-aralin, proyekto at iba pang mga kailangan sa paaralan o di kaya'y sa trabaho? Marami nang mga kabataan ang nahuhumaling sa paggamit ng mga "gadget" gaya ng cellphone, laptop, computer at iba pa. Dahil dito marami na ang dumidepende sa mga ito at nakakalimutan na ang gumamit ng mga libro sa mga pananaliksik. Dahil din dito nakakalimutan na natin ang paggamit ng wikang Filipino dahil wikang ingles ang ginagamit na wika ng mga gadgets.      Kasalukuyang ipinagdiriwang ngayon sa aming paaralan, ang Ilocos Sur National High School, ang Buwan ng Wika 2018. Marami silang mga inihandang patimpalak at mga aktibidades. Ito ay ang paggawa ng poster, pagsusulat ng sanaysay, OPM si...

My Dream Profession

     Each and everyone of us have their own dreams. Ambitions that we want to fulfill. Goals we want to achieve. We might have different objectives we want to achieve or fulfill but majority of us wants to be rich and successful in order to help their parents someday. My dream profession is to become a licensed and successful engineer someday.          At first, I only want to become an engineer because of my dad. But as I grew older, my perspectives changed. Being influenced by the people around me, I've decided to become an engineer because I want it and not just because of my dad. But first, I will study harder to prepare myself. After I graduate, I'll find a job and earn some money and travel around the world with loved ones, help my parents and my future family. I want to pay back their sacrifices just to support us in our everyday life.          But right now, I am just a grade 10 student and is ready to enter an...

Season of Love

     Christmas.....the season of hope, peace, unity, joy, and love to all. The birth of our savior Jesus Christ who sacrifice his life to save all mankind. Indeed, it is the day of forgiving and forgetting bitterness of life instead let us spread love and positivity to all. It is the season to be reunited.      Every 25th of December, everyone is filled with joy and smiles. Families and friends showing their love to each other through gift giving and other ways. Streets and houses are decorated with so many sparkling lights, children caroling and Christmas trees are glowing. But somehow, I believe the true meaning or essence of Christmas is not the glowing lights nor the gifts we receive but the true love we share to everyone not only to our loved ones but to every people in the world.      Let us celebrate Christmas every single day of our lives. Spreading love to all mankind, sharing our blessings to everyone, and be reunited with...
