Editors Note : 10,000 Hits.

I know pretty well,that we need to be celebrating,for passing a  milestone in about 6 months,with a target audience of about 150-200 Students,this blog has received enormous support,and also not to forget all the controversies which spanned right from ownerships issues to accountability,and some credibility concerns.

But,they are all as much a part of this blog,as everything else.

GAT 2010-SMS GUIDELINES:

We recently ran a small survey among some prospective juniors who have been active on our Admission queries(Comments section)page.

And most of them loved the concept of having a 24 hr round the clock SMS guidelines during the Counselling session,by the lifeatgitamhyd team.

We are working on to make the connection as secure as possible,since openly declaring the mobile number which will be used to help the students,implies the management and not to forgot the hate club of this Blog will be reactivated,and they will try to confirm the ownership of this Blog, we are trying our best to keep the SMS guidelines as secure as possible.

If and only if the things go on well,and we are confident that the security of contributors will not be compromised during this live guidelines,we will publish  the contact number,probably 48 hrs prior to the counselling which starts on 16th June,2010,SO that the contact number reaches all the needy ppl..:)

Well,that shortly summaries our plan for the GAT 2010 counselling,and  I would like to repeat(as on various occasions),that the SMS guidelines are not endorsed by GITAM University be by Hyderabad or Vizag in any way.

The SMS guidelines are a students initiative,which mainly comprises of the lifeatgitamhyd team.

ON CAMPUS TEAM:

Extremely sorry,prospective students,we express our inability to have members present on campus,as most of you would have liked.

But we give our word to do all we can in order to make the SMS guidelines as interactive as possible.

STUDENTS PORTAL:

On 8th of June,2010,We were supposed to have released our Students Portal,but due to unforeseen events we couldn’t keep up with the deadline,two days henceforth the Students portal(Beta),Should be launched,if everything goes as per schedule.

We have been working tirelessly towards our deadline,which expired yesterday,obviously the product isn’t read,and since it is just the beta form,we won’t be holding it back for a long time,48 Hrs and it shall be launched.

GITAM 360°:

One of the most awaited product from the stable of LAGH,and we are as excited as you are,desperately waiting for some updates or a glimpse or just a module of the gitam 360° project.

The project of GITAM 360 °,is being under taken by a separate team,and we also have a blog dedicated to it,hosted as a part of the lifeatgitamhyd’ domain.

gitam360.lifeatgitamhyd.com is their personal blog,which dishes out regular updates every week once,the college re opens,giving a sneak peak into the process of the campus 360° view.

GITAM 360°,like the students portal is also under heavy fire,for need of finance and once we get the monetary support we need,we will probably divert funds to the GITAM 360 ° team,which will make it worthwhile. 

ISSUES:

I would also like to address the various quality issues plaguing the blog since the last couple of weeks,apart from a few thought provoking post,obviously Fire safety and scoops fall into this category ,but there were many more disastrous post,And I would personally like to apologize for things like the red Fort of Rudraram, but they are all a part of this Blog,and I personally have no intention of deleting them,as they were the first steps by our juniors,and they are obviously willing to correct them,under the old teams guidance.

And obviously,like everything good in this world,Blogging is not easy,and we obviously have our own up and downs,and since we have been delivering quality posts for the first five months right from December to April,and we are currently have a low time,we would definitely bounce back once the college re opens.

FINANCE A HURDLE:

The major problem we have been tackling is finance,the core team of the Blog has been way to busy getting funds,and trying to raise some money in order to sponsor the students Portal,which is extremely important for us ,I myself have been running from pillar to post,mailing every other guy in the advertising world,and NGO’s looking at if anyone would be willing to support this Blog,we have been futile till now,but we hope to get something kind of support or another,one idea we are looking at is trying to loan some space on the Blog,obviously the money made if any will go into  the development of the Blog,and its students portal,promotional activities like tee shirts,goodies etc.

We just want to make it big,and hence we have been busy working on the finance issue,a major reason why the quality of the posts going below par is that the core team has been busy in the finance work,and the newly elected team of juniors is running the blog,they are new and they still have to get used to the system,but one the college starts,we assure you our post quality will bounce back with a bang.

MANAGEMENTS REPLY:

The management has finally decided to wake up from its slumber(I think for the 10th time..:P),and react to this Blog,apparently the management is planning to rope in students(Some,who are associated with the blog too),in order to pull up a good website,but as we can see they have been unsuccessful so far,and we have a first movers advantage over the yet to be launched official full fledged site,and we must add,we are desperately waiting for it too..:),We are not in any way trying to compete with the management,we are only for the purpose of fair journalism,and yet we do sometimes un intentional and some times unintentionally indulge in yellow journalism,but that is part and parcel of the journey of this blog,but we are trying to refrain from posting unanimous 

THANKS!!!

Obviously,I have no intention of forgetting to thank al lour readers,members of the Facebook Fan page,and the excellent team of current and junior students/members,who have been showing commendable interest in the functioning of the blog.

Regards,

Prajeeth,
