Nitte University's Justice KS Hegde Institute of Management (JKSHIM) is organizing the 5th International Conference on Social Entrepreneurship, today and tomorrow. The conference is being held in association with the USA's University of Pennsylvania and University of New England, and Netherlands' Erasmus University. The conference is yet another event in a series of such initiatives by this Mangalore based private varsity which claims to be an emerging leader in research. The university carries out its research activities beyond laboratories, libraries, and research papers. Also, its community interactions reach beyond the customary interactions with industries. Nitte's research outlook is loftier, of engaging with the community around it using possible opportunities. Nitte University is led by N Vinaya Hegde as Chancellor and Vishal Hegde as Pro-Chancellor (Admin). Seasonal Magazine takes a look at how effective has been this novel approach by Nitte University in extending and improving its research activities.
When you look at the rural landscape of India, standard of school education is definitely a matter of grave concern. Even for the handful of schools following better practices, there is no recognition or incentive to carry their good works forward. Nitte Education Trust which runs Nitte University In order to recognise such excellence in rural schools, has instituted an award from this year onward. The award is given exclusively to rural schools that excel both in academic as well as non-academic parameters. The first prize will carry Rs 15 lakh, and the second price is of Rs 10 lakhs, which are clearly sums that can make a difference for the further betterment of these schools. To ensure transparency, The jury panel is headed by Justice N Santosh Hegde, former Lokayukta.
Nitte University, being primarily a health sciences university, has also embarked on even more ambitious programs in community outreach, especially in its primary domain of healthcare. Recently it conducted a month-long Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training program with the objective of training 5000 interested members among the huge pool of staff and students across its 35 institutions in Mangalore and Bangalore. On the first day of this camp itself, around 1000 students were trained in CPR, which is a life-saving first-aid when heart attack strikes.
In India, more than 7,500 people die every year due to lack of CPR given at the right time. CPR involves repeated chest compression and mouth to mouth breathing. To give further publicity and effectiveness to this campaign so that more and more Indians from all walks of life are trained in CPR, Nitte University is now trying for a Guiness World Record in this critical domain.

He knows this domain inside-out as he is a former president of Indian Orthopaedic Association (IOA).
Similarly, Prof. K Sankaran, who heads Nitte's Justice KS Hegde Institute of Management, as its Director had pearls of wisdom for parents in bringing up children.
