The Divide
After spending 3 and a half years in this
university, I think I have a fair idea about the whole scenario it presents. The diversity here is astounding, and the equation among the students, garners appreciation. But is this bonding really present among all the sects in the university? By sects I dont mean the different faculties or departments, and neither the senseless regional detachments. The division I am referring to, gets unnoticed generally, but has always remained existent. That division is between the residents of the various halls, or hostellers, and the non-resident people, or the NRSCs. And unlike other divisions, this boasts of more merits than demerits. The whole picture is comprised by the small things which happen around us, every day. We know the feeling, what really is the situation. The permanent Aligarh residents, (lets call them PARs), present an illusion to the hostellers, that they have an unchallenged rule over the college, or the faculty, which obviously isnt the truth. Yes, the fact that they have been with each other since primary, or maybe secondary schooling, makes up for their grouping in the earlier days after admission, but it doesnt mean that their quota of friends is full. And not ignoring the other side of the coin, hostellers too have a special bonding themselves, which is not surprising when you eat, study, have tea and even sleep together, which kind of makes the PARs wonder if there is room for them among the hostellers friend circle. But the negative things end here. The joy hostellers bring to the PARs by providing solutions to assignments (copied from previous years), solution manuals to 60-70 year old books, and even important course info., is unmatchable. And of course the PARs happily feast on the pethas from Agra, ghewar from Haryana, peday from Mathura, and chocolates from abroad, every time the hostellers return from their respective cities, and countries, and a 3-4 month supply is easily consumed within a single week. The common rooms, the canteens, the hall sports grounds have always been a place to hang out for the PARs, and preserve some precious memories, sharing with the hostellers. And we, the PARs have also been of great use to the hostellers (yes, we have!). PARs have always been more than happy to guide the hostellers through this small, but amazing city of ours. Timely dinner parties at their homes, give the hostellers a much needed homely feeling. We do realize that we are close. We realize all the above positives present in our relation. But still why the ego-clashes? The bonding must be strengthened. Not only for our personal gains, but also for the full-scale betterment of the various departments, faculties and our university as a whole. Although the closeness is seen among the two clans, the most recent example being that the topic of this article was suggested by a hosteller friend of mine only, but we cant deny the fact that it does need some work, keeping egos aside. After all, united we stand, divided we fall. Belal Ahmad Siddiqui 2nd year Chemical

Q1: What qualities do you think each student must possess, to guarantee placements in companies like IFFCO, to secure high packages? Ans. Firstly, you need to be lucky. Secondly, you need to be lucky. Thirdly, you need to be boss's son. And if these three options do not work for you, then please improve your communication skills, know a little about your final year project, ample knowledge of industrial engineering (Mechanical), scada plc (electrical & electronics). And current affairs as far as IFFCO is concerned. And you would still need luck to "guarantee" your placement.

ry your career to the proper shore. Most of the companies will not be interested in you no matter how high your CPI is if you cannot convey your knowledge to them. Q4. Some suggestion for the mirror and how can we get funds from Alumni for publishing. Ans. Recently I have learned that the thing more difficult than writing a bestseller is to write the next novel after your bestselling novel. This is because now you have set up a benchmark and you will have to live up to it. Mirror had very humble beginnings and at every stage questions were raised on its spontaneity. My only advice is to maintain your existence, make sure that mirror survives in college even when its founding members do not. Also, nurture the juniors who are dynamic enough to be good writers even when they are battered down by classes from 8 to 5.

College life is the next best thing to heaven, (may be even better).

best thing to heaven, (may be even better) Most of us may hate AMU; just because we had some different plans, we dreamt for IIT's/AIEEE, had watched Kuch Kuch Hota hai and Student of the Year and have also seen the billboards and advertisements of AMITY and Sharda university. But the thing each one has to realize is that your college life is unique in every sense, it has its own charm, it has its own small adventure plan for you each and everyday, and it teaches you a hell lot more than you even realize during the process.

Write a small paragraph about yourself. take your time and write who you are?

Q1: What qualities do you think each student must possess, to guarantee placements in companies like IFFCO, to secure high packages? Ans. The best quality that a student must possess that he should be understated about himself and very much down to earth. Often students show over ambitious aspirations and become too much showy about themselves which at times annoys the interviewers. Moreover working over oratorical skills help a lot. Giving positive answers with a calm and composed body language shows that u can handle pressure easily. (show yourself as adaptable to conditions).

curred in the university from 2009-13, my stay at ZHCET and at AMU was a memorable one. I learned the concept of being a social being and interaction with people of different statehood provided me an apt platform to collaborate or merge various ideas that allowed me to develop into what i m now? The major contribution was the arrival of IFFCO at AMU . Moreover the public speaking skills (which is aptly called as dealing at AMU) helped me a lot to counter the stress interview at IFFCO.

tradictory strengths and weaknesses. Show hobbies that can be useful to the company (like exceptional oratorical skills, good decision maker etc.) Don't become over ambitious while speaking to the interviewers like i want to set up my own MNC etc. Never ever dare to show flattery it bring down your image. And lastly never criticize your university or college or whatever! It indicts the feeling of thanklessness which cud hurt your image. Q4. Some suggestion for the mirror and how can we get funds from Alumni for publishing. Ans. Mirror as far as i know is really good. Involve more such interactions and give the company reports of companies that are expected to arrive this session.

Q1: What qualities do you think each student must possess, to guarantee placements in companies like IFFCO, to secure high packages? Ans. The qualities according to me arei) Great communication skills & Wit ii) Humbleness & Honesty iii) Open minded iv) Extra-curricular activities on cv v) Decent Academic scores Q2: How did the time spent at the college, and AMU, was for you? How it did it contribute to your placement? Ans. I had a large social circle of friends in AMU from every faculty like Law, Medical, Arts (and Engineering off-course). Being a Dhhaba freak, 7 pointer and active AMU student helped me in shaping my personality. Plus I won university(55 in total), national (first prize in paper presentation

north India) and international prizes(2nd prize Asia pacific paper presentation Sri Lanka) apart from organizing numerous events (about 18) and held various posts like GEC Secretary, Hall Secretary, IEEEAMU Chairperson, AMU first Guinness World Record etc. Q3: Advice for your juniors, CPI or soft skills? Ans. My advice to the beloved juniors is to see the reflection of their own personalities, like a mirror, (as is the name of this wonderful newspaper) and develop themselves. A balance of CPI with Soft Skills makes a tasty Combo-Meal for the Corporate world. Both are equally important in regard of placements. Q4. Some suggestion for the mirror and

how can we get funds from Alumni for publishing. Ans. Firstly, the team of Mirror is doing a wonderful Job by publishing this new letter. This is a very profitable experience and a jewel in the CV's of the team. You guys should Share this newsletter vigorously on AMU Facebook pages( in the form of fb notes) and AMU yahoo network (which has faculty and AMU alumni across the globe, about 10,000 in number). To get funds, cover the life story (interview) of Senior & Successful Alumni and request them for funds. You may contact them through Social networks. There are also eminent personalities in AMU staff who would be glad to share their life and success story with everyone.

Q1. Any advice for the juniors appearing for placements next year. Ans. I cannot stress this enough - improve your programming skills regardless of your branch. Apart from your normal curriculum, spend some time each day writing code. There are a lot of websites hosting programming competitions online. Subjects like databases, networking, operating systems are equally important and you need to be really well-versed in them. Do some quality course as well as side projects. Build things that are there for everyone to see and use. Importantly, keep a positive attitude throughout the placement process. Q3. What preparation do you think is adequate to qualify for a company of the stature of ThoughtWorks? Ans. Something, which I found unique in ThoughtWorks was that being a technical company, they stressed somewhat on communication skills which isn't seen usually. Feel free to dabble in latest frameworks and libraries. It also helps to get started with open source programming.

Apart from your normal curriculum, spend some time each day writing code.
who supported me throughout all this. Q6. Don't you think the company should have given you a month's salary in advance for partying? Ans. 2 months salary actually. Q7. Where do you see yourselves 5 years down the line? Ans. Recruiting in our college maybe.

Q4. CPI, communication skills, or an amalgam of both? Ans. Well I guess, I was the one with the minimum CPI in the interview round. So it doesn't really come down to it. In fact neither my CPI nor board marks ever came Q2. The procedure involved 6 - 7 up during the interviews. How you comrounds.

Benazeer Khan
Q1. Any advice for the juniors appearing for placements next year. Ans. Start preparing for your interviews from now on itself. Be good at any one programming language, at least. You can't prepare for an interview in few days. Moreover, in final year you won't be getting any time for preparing for a particular company. It takes time. By that time, whatever you've had studied or not studied in the last 2 - 3 years, anything may be asked out of it. So you have to be prepared every time. Choose any 2 - 3 subjects you are interested in. Have a good knowledge of them and your project. Focus on your communication skills and body language. They play an integral role in interviews. Prepare your Introduction, role model (who and why), some hobbies, your strengths and weaknesses. Q2. The procedure involved 6 - 7 rounds. Do you think the procedure was too tiresome? Ans. Yeah it was. But in the end, all the stress and hard work paid off. Q3. What preparation do you think is adequate to qualify for a company of the stature of ThoughtWorks? Ans. Nothing special. Acknowledge yourself with the latest trends in technology apart from whatever you study in college. Focus on your communication skills too. Have a good knowledge about your Projects. Whatever you do have a look at its practical side. Don't be into only theory. And be aware of what's happening around you in the society. Ans. Both are important but communication skills are more. CPI is not at all an indicator of the knowledge you possess. So, focus on getting more knowledge rather than good marks. Q5. To whom would you like to dedicate your success? Ans. God, my parents and my best friend who has always been there for me. Q6. Don't you think the company should have given you a month's salary in advance for partying? Ans. Naa.. It's time that I spend whatever old money I have.

Prepare your Introduction, role model (who and why), some hobbies, your strengths and weaknesses.

Q7. Where do you see yourselves 5 years down the line? Q4. CPI, communication skills, or an Ans. Life is very unpredictable. I never amalgam of both? plan anything.

A prevalent modern disease bordering on insanity; generally erupts during mid-May and mid-December in ZHCET and vulnerable groups include young adults ranging from students of engineering first year to final year. The most reasonable causes include overdoses of procrastination, priority allocated to sleep extensions, time spent in fetching notes (be it of classmates or seniors) and sudden realization that one is a student. Symptoms are hard to miss but they vary from victim to victim: being continuously tensed, complaints of headaches and hair loss, drop in dressing sense, searching for teachers in their respective departments and asking about important questions remain unaltered from ages.

He will take the compliment about his shirt everyday. He will listen while I tell him about how I noted his absence. He will even smile back every time I do. But, boy. You are killing me with the lack of clue in your life, baby. What does a girl do here? I am not saying I am one for grandeur. Id rather (to say it politely) vomit in a babys mouth than have someone ask me out with a grand gesture. Its only going to be a movie in a theatre with another 100 people, most of whom will be doing the same things we do- trying to find each others hands in the dark. Love, calm down. You know what an ideal world would be? One without social protocol. How long does it take to pick a heart and decide you do not want to break it? Not much, really. So tell me, half a ray of sunshine, why is it so hard to figure out we are not in high school anymore? Do you not see how I let you play with my hair only because I like you? Only a girl would know how much that means. Only a girl would know it takes a lot to flip her hair like a blithering idiot and dress up in the morning thinking you will check to see if she is around. -Hera Khwaja

Religion & Politics

in their hands to their selfish and nefarious end. In this way murders and rapes become a regular feature of Indian social life. Do we expect the same from the people we choose by giving our valuable vote? Masses fail to understand these cruel tricks done by the politicians. People jump into the fire of communalism, blindly following the communalist leaders, leaving hundreds getting killed and thousands injured. Ramjanam Bhoomi, Babri Masjid issue was brought into the main stream of Indian politics only to prepare a large vote bank. There was fiddling with sentiments of Indian hearts, and almost each and every part of our country was affected. These riots will continue so long as the gullible and credulous masses don't understand the vile Religion is a matter of personal belief, and game of politicians. it remains a strong force in the common Religion should not be allowed to become masses in India. On the other hand, it the opium of masses. Religion and politics helps a person to live a better and peace- are two different worlds. They should not ful life.

It becomes a powerful tool 'Man will wrangle for religion write for it, fight for it anything but live for it.' India has many religions and people and generally, they respect each others religion. In spite of this, there are frequent communal disturbances. The main reason has always been politics in religions, which in result, causes communal disturbances.

Religion helps a person to fight against animal desires, immoralities and materialism.

A Few Important Lessons of Life
lose hope. To an extent our life is influenced by fate or luck, but what it truly depends on is the decisions a person makes, and how hard he works on them. Simply put, life's message is clear, that unless man translates his ideas and dreams into actions, he is not going to go very far in his lifetime. Even if something bad happens to us, eventually we do learn how it happened and so we become more experienced and wiser in life. Our heart becomes stronger each time it's hurt and each time something bad happens to us. So, in the end we do learn that life is all about ups and downs, and is filled up with happiness and sadness too. One more lesson that life teaches us is A decision once made, should not be regretted we may be wrong for once but till then we have gained some experience, yet I may add a caveat to it do think before taking decisions and not after taking them, because there's no use crying over the spilt milk, and two, it would be far better, if you just learned your lesson and never committed that mistake knowingly ever again. It was even once quoted by the Great Scientist Albert Einstein Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new ". Another factor that fuels negativity is Fear it's something in us, which stops us from doing what we want to accomplish. Fear prevents us from unleashing our true potential. Living in fear is something no human being should ever go through, because it's the right of every human, to live and to live with dignity and fearlessly. People who live fearlessly are obviously much happier and cheerful and consequently more creative and productive in their everyday life, because they live each day. Some people do it by carrying out naughty, risky pranks, and some adopt the way of adventure sports, either way, they just want the adrenaline thrill, the fun, the happiness. Living life freely and adventurously also gives the opportunity to gain a sense of achievement that we did something in life, something not many people have tried. It makes us feel different and gives our self a confidence a boost. Point is, Life's short and we only get one chance at it. Live life to the fullest, stop blaming, overcome fears, and understand that only we are the master of our destiny. Syed Mohammad Ahbar Warsi 1st yearCivil

I once read a quote by Marilyn Monroe which said that "Everything in Life Happens for a Reason". At first, even to me it was just a quote that I liked, but then I realized what it meant. It's a simple yet important lesson of life. Many a times things happen in our lives, we wonder why they happened, and if it's bad, we regret it happening. Did we ever wonder, if it hadn't happened, probably something worse might have happened? For example, if we get a flat tire and are late for an important event, we feel miserable and curse our Cowards Die A Hunluck, but maybe it happened to protect you dred Times, But Heroes from a bigger calamity, like a serious road Die Only Once. accident. The point of it is for people to understand the fact that things which are destined to happen will happen and for your own good, and no matter what, a positive attitude towards life always helps. We often lament Why Me?". Do we realize what it may mean? If not me then should it be someone else? Instead of thinking about that, we should accept what happened, because life is fair, and will eventually reveal the reason why every single thing happened in our life, be it good, or bad. The most important thing in the end To catch the reader's attention, place an interesting sentence or is to always have high spirits and to never quote from the story here.

Deadline
Everything has a deadline, In childhood things were mine. But as i am rising mature, I am trying to understand the nature. What I realized is thatTime would never rest in your hat! Nature is all ruled by time, If realized things are again mine. Still I am waiting to realize and feel, The DEADLINE is in me, And in everything I heal. Nature will decreed me and thee! DEADLINE if at once you see, You will be set all free, towards the tree. Do not resort to time delay, As you are resorting to future play. Time unrealized leads to fine, Stick to time-table, schedule and DEADLINE! -Saba Ameer Siddiqui, 2nd year B.Arch

We are the muddy drops of blood, Shed by our pious founder; : We strive to revive his dreams; To act and change-not merely ponder! We're a team of revived spirits; Genies from a magic lamp; We strive to do the impossibleCivilize the rogue, educate the tramp. We ask not for the riches, Neither do we yearn for celebration We pray for the Almighty's grace For helping hands....for cooperation. -Syed Saim Ali, 1st year Chemical

The Unknown Writers

Me VS Chulbul Pandey
Hello friends! Its another time I am here to share with you this piece of writing in which I have portrayed the recent happenings of my life. Well once again like my previous article this is in general to all my college mates and To Dear Baby ji specifically; and once again the contents of this writing roam around my favourite or rather our favourite topic FRIENDSHIP amongst opposite sexes. Does she like you? Definitely, if you are her best buddy then whom other than you should she like? And if she mention about some other guy in her conversation whose name may sound like that of a Bollywood star or whose face may has some resemblance with some Hollywood guy than it certainly doesnt mean that Mr. Chulbul Pandey has any significance in her life or he can ever replace you. I have perfectly experienced the same just a couple of days before. So all my male friends can now sigh in peace. But Dear Baby ji You should also learn about this nature of your counterpart that we use to be a bit more possessive than you people. And that the Almighty has installed in us an auto actuated spark plug which produces a high intensity spark when you repeatedly mention about some other guy and thus

Get-Wit

we are compelled to behave in an unnatural way. And the following section is on behalf of all my male friends for their best buddies. No Chulbul will hug you just before your engineering entrance result and no Edward will listen by heart to what you have done the whole day in college or how much did you get in your Chemistry viva. Itll only be me, your buddy, to find sense

in all your nonsense. Do you know why do I praise your beauty in all your new dresses and in all your pics? Is it because you always look gorgeous? May not be the case every time. But its because the smile that my words fetch on your lips is something I really live for. When you get a skin disease then I say, It hardly matters to me and I am okay with that. But please dont infer that I am not concerned with that rather thats because I know that no girl in this universe would love to listen from a guy that she had got a dark or light spot on her face and related stuff. And most important- I do all that not because your looks are similar to Titanic fame but the sole reason is that you are my best buddy. So finally for all my male friends- Guys have some faith in her. Faith is the foundation of your relation. And for all the female friends- This is just because we care for you. Please dont take it the other way; its nothing like envy or all that. -SAYA

The child grows, starts understanding the world, recognizing the people around, walks on the foot, speaks and further grows. But eventually on a very fine day he recognizes that the LIFE suddenly becomes LIFELESS. He realizes that he is in a state that is neither life nor death. Its not his life because he has minimal control over it, like the water of a river whose flow is controlled by external dams and direction by the river beds and the river itself having no control over it. Its neither a death because the flow has never ever stopped !!! Has this life got enough life to be called a life..??? Living in an environment where your actions, your

You yourself thought or were made to think that you should become a doctor or an engineer because all your friends did the same or either it was your familys tradition to produce engineers or doctors or may be due to some other reason keeping aside that you loved writing stories, playing basketball or being a bathroom singer. Even you restrict yourself from loving somebody because that relationship doesnt seem to have any future!!! In this state between life and death you can neither flow as you wish nor you can stop.

Students Voice
Canteen is usually the most common meeting place for any college. As apparent, we lag behind very much when it comes to interaction between the students. There is very little interaction between the hostellers and the nonresidents, between students across branches and it was aptly solving the purpose. Regarding its ultimate purpose i.e. of a coffee and snack shop, I miss it badly as I generally miss my breakfast in the hostel dining hall because of getting up late and I was a regular visitor there. "CHUNGI" is a bit far off and people are generally reluctant going there. Having a college canteen is MUST!! -SALMAN BIN KASHIF CHEMICAL 4TH YEAR A canteen is a perfect place to break the monotony of study and relax for a while. NESACFE was probably one of the most bursting places in the college. It was the hub of all the activities- right from taking a break from lectures to discussing strategies for the next student election. Its "chai-coffee" and "pattis" had more fans than a celebrity. It was a nice little place to socialise and have a light hearted moment. Its absence will definitely be felt. -NAZISH ZAIDI MECHANICAL 3rd YEAR

The VOICE
As the proverb says "an army marches on its stomach". Same goes with the exhausting schedule of the college and hence makes it an imperative issue. If a student somehow misses his breakfast, he is unable to feed his starving belly. Secondly, students cant find a place to chill out or gather up. Its the only recreational hub that college administration had provided us. I think we all are missing it badly and we want it rebuilt as soon as possible. -MOHAMMAD TAHIR, COMPUTER 3rd YEAR

You've been in this college without the NESCAFE canteen for over a seTo catch the reader's attention, place an interesting sentence or quote from the story here.

mester now. How did it affect your life?

Coming to college this year, a wave of change gripped the institution. The dawn of new timetable and the dusk of NESCAFE. The NESCAFE was not a just a place for coffee and food. We all how "GOOD" the patties used to be. NESCAFE was a place to relax where students discussed their attendance issues, female issues and most importantly unbearable teacher issues. Looking back at the photos, the good old photos and now i will always miss the NESCAFE and the udhaar we had along with "BHAI TU DEDE PAISE AAJ NAHI HAIN MERE PAAS". NESCAFE was not just a canteen as they say people were institutionalized with it. I feel sorry for my juniors who will never know what they are missing. -SYED ADIL ALI COMPUTER 3rd YEAR

The day I first saw the ruins of our beloved canteen I knew that the wounds would never heal. I want to ask the people responsible bachche baithege kahan ab?! The canteen was as important a part of this college as Principal s office. It was the place where important decisions were made and foundations of milestones were laid. It was the birth place of various fests and events and other news and gossip worthy activities. It was life and I believe it was the only place where the attendance of every student was 100%. It should have got its own register, why ruin it?! -Maham Malik, Petrochemical 1st year(M.Tech)

Absence of Nescaf canteen has changed my sessions to sleepy lullabies, i really miss my elachi chai and cappuccino. Nescafe canteen ,a place of interaction between a senior and junior, sharing their experiences and bonding them. And hot patties after each class acting as hunger supplements can't be ignored. It was a symbol of unity where friends gathered from different branches enjoy just like first year days. it was place originating great ideas after getting inspired from our very own MIG. -SAGAR BHARADWAJ ELECTRICAL 3nd YEAR

For those in first year who don't know about NESCAFE stall, well it was a small canteen near the book bank. NESCAFE provided many varieties to tea, coffee while patties and sandwiches were also provided. It has witnessed many stories and incidents.I will always remember ZAFAR BHAI- the proud owner for his amiable nature. From elections to fests, everytime was common NESCAFE and its products. My personal favourite was the lemon tea. NESCAFE played the role of dropbox or newsportal wherein information and gossips were shared. I really miss those times spent at that place and i believe our college needs a similar one. -AMAN ABIDI COMPUTER 3rd YEAR

Roots of Corruption

The Mirror in collaboration with Ingenious Solutions performed a task under Reformnation. In the task people have to presen t their views on the topic ROOTS OF CORRUPTION. Here are the some of the views of ZHCETians: We are indulged in corruption everyday in our lives. Corruption is in our blood. Can you stop giving bribes for getting birth certificate from Corporation for your wards? Can you get your daughter married without giving dowry? The list is unending. Efforts at individuAnd who is responsible for spreading coral level may uproot ruption? It is we, the common people. corruption at a But before making any further allegations, global level. let us first dive into the plausible causes of corruption. From my perspective, corruption in society can take three forms. The first one includes those people in power or authority who try to compel the needy to pay bribes in order to get their work done. The second form of corruption arises when those in power or in authority get their work done without making any payments. The third form of corruption occurs when the bribe is wilfully paid by a person and the other one doesnt refuse to accept that bribe. The roots of corruption are embedded in human greed and misuse of power. Do not give up hope no However, there is no social evil that thrives matter how much you for which there is no solution available. If get discouraged, do we transform our governance system into what you think is right. such a form in which people do not enjoy unlimited powers and every act is scrutinized, then a majority of the problems of our country may be solved. Lastly, the ultimate solution lies in uplifting our moral values and being strong willed enough to refuse being a participant in any act of corruption. Efforts at individual level may uproot corruption at a global level. -Mini Gupta, EC 2nd year equal chance in society. Corruption has become a routine in many sections of the government. Politics is an example-criticized everyday. Parliament members are accused and tried of corruption related crimes and all kinds of ministers are brought down after being caught in scams. It is disgusting to think that we have to pay bribes to a person just to do his job. In cities and villages throughout India, consisting of municipal and other government officials, elected politicians, judicial officers, real estate developers and law enforcement officials, acquire, develop and sell land in illegal ways. Tendering corruption is wrong and even dangerous. Coming to the ways of overcoming the problem. The government of India has given you ways to protest. Criticize if you have proof. The Jan Lok Pal movement is a newer movement, which is gaining momentum. Refuse to give bribes. Report corruption to higher officials or anti-corruption organizations. Do not give up hope no matter how much you get discouraged, do what you think is right. Being a patriot is r e a l i z i n g t h a t My country has problems and I am going to do something about it. -Ilma Khan, 2nd year Chemical

Patriotism. What does that word mean to you? Let me tell you what I think it should mean. Patriotism is not about boasting and believing that my country has no problems and it is just perfect. Patriotism is about realizing that my country has a problem and I will do something about it. Our problem for India is corruption. There are more than 1.21 billion people in India. 22 % of the population is under the poverty line. Truckers in India alone pay US $5 billion in bribes annually. Billions of Indias hard earned money is hoarded into foreign havens for private use. The population is being cheated out of their right to have an

Artificial Intelligence

could turn corruption into a thing of past provided, enough funding is allocated for this initiative.

Corruption is one of the most talked about issue in the modern political and socio-economic sphere of India. Primarily, it is something that can never be removed completely. But in general, what needs to be done is to minimize it to an extent where it does not directly affect the resource distribution, service provisioning and the overall functioning of the system as a whole. Considering the unpredictability of human morals and as an engineering student, I would stick to a more technical approach and my suggestion for an anti-corruption policy rests entirely on a tightly designed combination of hardware and software infrastructure. Designed specifically for political and administrative use, a complex system of highly secure and intelligently designed software, backed up by powerful hardware infrastructure and well integrated and cleverly designed Artificial Intelligence could turn corruption into a thing of past provided, enough funding is allocated for this initiative. A close integration with the world wide web and the adoption of a highly reliable security protocol would ensure transparency as well as security. Practically, it requires months of careful planning and data analysis, years of development by the smartest brains in the business and patient debugging and testing before deployment into the real world. But it would all be worth it, if we end up with a very powerful way to control and limit corruption for the greater good of this country and humanity as a whole. -Syed Yusuf Ali 1st year Mechanical
