About Mathare-T21

About Mathare-T21

I’m Shabana Yasmeen, a second year student of biomedical engineering at Karpaga  Vinayaga College of Engineering and Technology(KVCET). It is a pleasure to recall my responsibility as a student coordinator for organising and staging Maathare-T21 event (9th April, 2021) for celebrating womanhood and honouring women achievers from diverse fields. Though I had not coordinated such a huge event anytime before, I am proud to mention that the event came out with flying colours, thanks to the empowerment, encouragement and team work we received all around. I realised this is the right way a forward looking institution inculcates many valuable people skills such as social skills, respect, self-worth, team work, time management, an eye for detail, empathy and so on. You know what? I realized my potential.

I’m immensely proud to be a student of KVCET which invites many women achievers from various fields and honors them with great respect in Maathare events conducted annually.

 My favourite anchor Priyanka when she entered our state-of-the-art Auditorium, everyone (about 1200 audience) got excited and enthralled by her energy, presence of mind and eloquence. I loved her cool and enthusiastic attitude which was contagious. The program ended with a dazzling dance by
Among the many women achievers present, I am particularly inspired by Ms. Nivetha Jessica who received the “Inspiring racing champion” award. Her speech was stirring too.

Ms.Anusha Shree. The audience like myself enjoyed her performance. I took selfies with all the women achievers that made my day.

Coordinating such an event surely boosted our confidence, helped to have a friendly and healthy relationship with our seniors, staff, and other students.

Maathare-T21 truly has left me with beautiful memories. Whenever I think about my college days in the future, my participation in Maathare-T21 will be in my mind first, bringing a smile on my lips and joyful tears in my eyes. Very happy and proud to be a part of the grandeur event.

I gladly share here, a value added experience gained when we visited the Pathology and Anatomy laboratory at Karpaga Vinayaga Institute of Medical Sciences & Hospital, which is functioning in our KVEG campus.

The visit without any doubt added another dimension to our hitherto understanding of anatomy and physiology.   In anatomy laboratory, we were shown various specimens of human organs.

The cadaver and anatomy museum at KIMS too made the visit worthwhile. Professors and Doctors explained well the structure and function of human organs. It was really very interesting and added clarity to the subject.

In histopathology laboratories, they explained processing of tissue for diagnosis of diseases. This information did help during my final year project. In my project, I was interested to investigate applications of hydroxyapatite in dentistry.

I have got a wonderful opportunity at KVCET, because Karpaga Vinayaga Institute of Dental Sciences (KIDS) is also located in our campus. The dental surgeons mentored us during our project. The pathology department gave us suggestions for any course correction now and then based on our experimental results.

It was comfortable to complete my project well due to multiple facilities within the campus itself. In my opinion, these facilities and expertise available and accessible in the same campus give an unique advantage and opportunity for Biomedical Engineering students of Karpaga Vinayaga College of Engineering and Technology.

Transformational Experience in Toastmasters Club

Transformational Experience in Toastmasters Club

 Hi, I’m Kiruthiga.D (III Year, CSE, KVCET) and wish to share my transformational experience in our campus Toastmasters Club

Well, every journey has a destination. My journey through our Toastmasters club—from delivering speeches to acquiring leadership skills did help me to be a professional speaker.

KVCET is interested in students’ overall development, so they are providing financial support to all student members of the Toastmasters club international. I like to express my deep sense of gratitude to my college management for their generous support and making me part of a worldwide organization that is empowering me to turn my goals into reality.

Initially when I joined the club, I had my hesitation, inhibition to participate actively. Sooner, I felt comfortable and started taking active roles, shared my knowledge and desires in my short speeches. This is surely because of my fellow Toastmasters, who made me feel important. No one stigmatizes or ostracises my mistakes, instead they nurtured, encouraged and helped me to realize my potential.

So far, I had attended 30 meetings and in different roles such as speaker, timer, ah-counter, grammarian, evaluator and participant in table topic sessions. These multi-layer experiences helped me to become a better speaker quickly and smartly.

Summing up, I’m a living testimony of how Toastmasters International Club of our campus can transform a student into a competent speaker and leader. The most important investment you can make is in yourself. I am sure, Toastmasters club is a worthy investment.

The learning experience that I gained in the hospital training lab at Karpaga Vinayaga Hospital (KVH) included the cadaver and anatomy museum at Karpaga VInayaga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) which gave me an adequate knowledge in anatomy and physiology.

In cadaver the knowledge was gained well as the professor  explained the overall anatomy and physiology of human body and also the dissected specimen, human skeleton and other specimen giving me an insight  to master the topics of the human anatomy.

I am deeply grateful for the staff who gave their valuable time and energy to explain about the biomedical equipments in the hospital training lab, where we understood the instrumentation, working principle and the real time demonstration of the equipments in our hospital.

The overall impression of my experience is that I understood comprehensively human anatomy and clinical aspects of biomedical equipments in a smart way.
