New Initiatives in 2011
All Kerala Humanitarian Technology Contest (AKHTC)
The All Kerala Humanitarian Technology Contest was initiated by LINK in 2011 to find out the best
Humanitarian Technical projects among the IEEE Student members of Kerala Section. Proposals
were invited and the top 5 projects were funded by LINK to make a prototype model of their idea.
A technical committee including Section executives were the judging panel of AKHTC. The final
project demos were displayed during the LINK Camp.
LINK e-Tools (LINK/Student Branch Management Tool)
LINK e-Tools consist of 2 parts – LINK Student Branch Details tool and LINK e-publicity tool. IEEE
LINK Student Branch Details Tool where relevant information about all the current Student
Branches in LINK are covered. The event count and activities are also provided. The Student Branch
activities are tracked, comparisons are made and the final statistics are highlighted. A judgement
on whether the Student Branch is active or inactive can be made with ease, thanks to this tool. A
similar analysis is made about HUB activities as well. IEEE LINK ePublicity Tool enable Student
Branches/HUB’s to send alerts regarding any new Events, Announcement, News and Newsletters to
all student members under IEEE Kerala Section as HTML mail with addressing personally like IEEE
Spectrum Alert.

LINK Online Survey v2.0
We got 127 responses from 39 SBs. The survey questionnaires were also designed to address the
needs and current approach of LINK. We got around 85% positive responses from the crowd.
LINK Membership sustainability Initiative
As with any organization, membership sustainability is an issue of key concern even to the IEEE.
LINK, despite being a matured and optimizing organization in IEEE student activities, faces the
same issue in sustaining student members within IEEE. It remains a challenging task to convince
student members to continue their membership into their final year in college and after
graduation. To analyze the issue of why even student members with excellent track record in IEEE
activities discontinue their membership, LINK has formed a special team called ‘LINK Membership
Sustainability Ad-hoc Committee’ whose prime responsibility will be to gather membership
information from Student Branches across Kerala, analyze root-causes for lack of membership
retention and suggest remedial action to improve membership sustainability in LINK.

Sticking on to the ‘Go green’ policy of the IEEE,the event was made green, with all writing materials
being made of recycled paper, use of pencils instead of pens and a provision to plant a number of
trees to counter the environmental impact made on conducting the event, tying up with
‘greenleaf’ an NGO.
The event was inaugurated by Dr.Raseena Padmam,Chair-person, anti-harrasement cell,
MGUniversity.She urged the young engineers to be successful moreover responsible citizens. There
was an open forum in which participants were free to ask anything to the panel of resource
persons who had excelled in their respective fields in one way or the other. The panel included
Dr.Shantadevi, Retd Scientist,Physical Oceanographic Laboratory, Cochin, Dr. M.Lalithambika, IRTC
Mundoor and thoroughly applauded social worker Ms.Shafeena P.S. It was a different experience
for the participants to know about the various problems faced by a woman, as she grows up.
The 2nd day,Jun25, started off with a special session on ‘Yoga &Meditation’, where participants
could experience the power of ‘pranayama’ and various benefits in learning & practicing yoga.
Talks by Ms.KrishnaSreedhar, MD of Shreyas, Cochin, a commercial firm which dealt with air-

no limit that one could dream and achieve in life. A technical talk on open-source & proprietary
software and social networking sites, with special reference to facebook handled by Mr.Felix, an
employee of Infosys, Chennai was a new experience to everyone present. A basic course with
demonstration of ‘MATLAB’ helped to widen the knowledge of the participants in the area of
computer programming. The 3rd day had an ‘aerobics workshop’ for girls, with special emphasis on
self-defense. The whole event was filled with games, fun, knowledge, but it reached its peak in the
debate session. It not only helped to make ourselves aware of various issues across the society, of
vivid subjects, it also reminded of what we could do to bring about a change- really an eye-
