NPTEL - A Free Online Audio Video CourseWare

NPTEL stands for National Programme on Technical Enhanced Learning.  Many might be wondering what that is ? Let me tell you its a online Material or a Book which explains almost all of the core Engineering topics in a very clear and concise way. It has Lectures of many subject by  the Professors  of  IITS in audio video format. The most important fact is that free. Yes, you can access all of online material for free, you only need to have an Internet connection to learn :) . Why a Initiative like this was really needed ? The answer to this is that  many of us dream to pursue  our B.Tech/ M.Tech / M.s / PH.D from reputed Institues  like IITS but because of the limited seats all of us may not be able to achieve that dream. So to fill that gap, all the major IITS have come together and they started this initiative and they came up with NPTEL. Another reason  that can be attributed is that although we have lot of Engineering colleges in the country but are we really able to produce

49-O

In general most of us reluctant to vote as we do not feel candidates deserve . Do you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section " 49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone!
