The best basketball players in India came out to put up an extraordinary display of skill, athletic ability, and hoops intelligence at the Mastan YMCA court in Nagpada, Mumbai on Saturday, April 9 at the Indian All Star Games. The finest Indian men and women players, from all across the country, were invited to play in these exhibition matches that produced plenty of thrills and a few dominating performances.For both the games, the players were divided into two teams each, WEST and EAST. The toast of the night was definitely Geethu Anna Jose, India’s biggest basketball star, who has recently been invited to tryout with several teams in the US-based basketball league, the WNBA. On Saturday, Geethu was at her dominant best, scoring 41 points in the Women’s All Star Game to lead the Team WEST to a 77-74 victory over Team EAST. In the Men’s game, Team EAST won 95-82.

The first-of-its-kind event in India was organised by Ibrahim Lakdawala of Lakdawala Developer PVT. LTD.

In the Women’s game, WEST took an early lead behind Geethu’s unstoppable inside play and support from Indian woman’s captain, Prashanti Singh (21), but sharp-shooting by Delhi’s Raspreet Sidhu (21) kept the EAST close in the game. With WEST holding on to a comfortable eight point lead at the beginning of the last period, EAST began to mount a comeback with a flurry of three-pointers by Bharti Netam, Anju Lakra, and Manisha Dange. But it wasn’t enough and the WEST held on for the three-point victory.

Hindi film actress Neetu Chandra was an added attraction for the fans present, as she displayed her own hoop skills as part of the Women’s EAST team. Chandra, who has been an active basketball player, has been participating in regularly in basketball events at the Mastan YMCA.

2011 Ramu Memorial Tournament starts in style; Holders IOB eke out close victory

Mumbai’s most-storied and oldest hoops competition, the All India Ramu Memorial Basketball Tournament (RMBT) at the Indian Gymkhana in Matunga, got off to an intriguing start on Sunday, April 10th as the holders IOB (Chennai) held on for an intense, close victory over the underdog Cochin Customs side. The hosts, Maharashtra, saw their Women’s team dominate South Western Railway for a comfortable 16 point victory.

The RMBT, which is now in its 27th edition, is being sponsored by United Phosphorus Limited (UPL). The tournament has a lot of history in the city of Mumbai, as it started off in the mid-1960s as a local, inner-city competition, and in the late 70s became the All India tournament that it is today. For a period of 13 years between 1993-2005, the tournament was discontinued, but it has gained momentum again since 2006 and has once again become an essential part of Mumbai’s hoops culture.

One of the men’s teams that has always been successful at Ramu have been the Indian Overseas Bank – Chennai (IOB), who have won it three times in the last five years, including last year’s edition. Featuring the likes of Hareesh Koroth, Abhilekh Paul, Mihir Pandey, and the legendary S. Robinson, this team rolled in with high expectations but had a surprisingly slow start against Kerala’s Cochin Customs side. In a tight game throughout where neither team could take a huge lead, IOB survived to win 64-63. Paul scored 23 for the winning side while Pandey added 20 to go with 10 rebounds. For Cochin, Eudrick Perreira (17) and S. Monish (16) were the high scorers.

The first game of the tournament was a rousing victory by home side, Maharashtra Women, against South Western Railway from Karnataka. Smruthi was at her unstoppable best for Maharashtra, scoring 31 points as her team got off to a strong start. They held on to a comfortable 13 point lead at the half and maintained a steady tempo for the rest of the game to win 72-56. Manisha Dange added 17 for Maharasthra, while Savitha had 20 for South Western Railway.

The last game of the night was an encounter pitting several Indian superstars against each other – Western Railway Men came out to the court to battle Punjab. Western Railway wanted to stamp their dominance early, as they held on to a 10 point lead after a defensively strong first quarter and kept the lead uptil halftime. Punjab made a comeback in the third, but in the end, their efforts weren't strong enough from stopping Western Raiwlay from racing away to a 71-65 victory. Gagan Deep Singh was the star of the show for the winning side, scoring 18 points and grabbing 15 rebounds. Jagdeep Singh, who was named 'Best Player' at the previous night's All Star Game, kept up his good form with 28 points and 8 rebounds for Punjab, but it wasn't enough to secure a victory.



Vinod Muthukumar, the tournament director, was encouraged by the start to the competition and was looking forward to more interest from the public over the next week. “This year of the RMBT will be a little different and we are hoping to add more excitement and fan interaction,” said Muthukumar, “The Men’s competition, for instance, will see the eight participating sides in two groups, and the best two teams from each group will then play in another round-robin pool. This way, the crowd will get to see more competitive games.”

The organisers of the tournament are also putting in an extra effort this year to reach out to the fans. The tournament will be shown live throughout on local Mumbai channel YOUSCOD 18. The Semi-Finals on 16th April and Finals on 17th April 2011 will be telecast live on Doordarshan and the Finals will be broadcast live on DD along with live running commentary on All India Radio's FM Gold.

Muthukumar added, “We are also using our website – ramumemorial.com – as well as our Facebook page, as essential tools to share photos, results, and news.”

This is also the first year that the US-based side Shooting for Success (SFS) will be taking part in the RMBT. SFS have been a crowd favourite at Mumbai because of their appearances at the Savio Cup. They are considered to be one of the favourites to lift the crown, along with IOB and ONGC.

Two - Day National Seminar on Recent Trends in Unmanned Air Vehicles

8:21 PM by Hindustan University · 0 comments
Labels: , ,

Courtesy: Chennai Engineering Colleges

Unmanned air vehicles commonly referred to as UAVs are defined as Powered Air Vehicles sustained in flight by aerodynamic lift over most of their flight path and guided without an onboard crew. They may be expendable or recoverable and can fly autonomously or piloted remotely. Historically the greatest uses of UAVs have been in the areas of intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance.

As UAVs play an increasingly important role in the above-mentioned mission areas and it has seen an exponential growth in the last decade. It is no doubt that there is a need for having a seminar that would benefit the students and academicians to orient their research activities related to UAVs. It would help to strengthen the bridge between academicians and industry enabling the development of state of the art systems in the future.

As ADE, Bangalore is the only DRDO lab in India, dedicated to design and development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), the School of Aeronautical Engineering, HITS , in association with ADE organized a Two-Day National Seminar on Recent Trends in UAVs from 25th to 26th February, 2011. It attracted many participants from the host department of our institute and other institutes from all over Tamil Nadu.

The seminar was organized and coordinated by Dr. S. Senthil Kumar, Associate Professor and Mr. D. Vijayakumar, Assistant Professor, School of Aeronautical Engineering, HITS. The seminar was inaugurated by Shri. K. V. Srinivasan, Scientist- G, Emeritus Scientist, ADE, Bangalore on 25th of February, 2011 in the presence of Dr. K. Sarukesi, Vice-Chancellor, HITS, Dr. E. Rajakuperan, Dean, School of Aeronautical Engineering, HITS, Shri. S. Rajagopal, Scientist-E and Shri. M. Suresh, Scientist-D, ADE, Bangalore.

Dr. E. Rajakuperan, Dean, School of Aeronautical Engineering, HITS welcomed the dignitaries. Inaugurating the Conference, the Chief Guest, Shri. K. V. Srinivasan, Scientist- G delivered a keynote address on “Unmanned Aerial Vehicles-Defining Tomorrows Battlefield”. Dr. K. Sarukesi, Vice-Chancellor, HITS presided over the function, discussed upon the importance of collaborative research between HITS and Defence organizations like ADE and up-gradations of curriculum with UAVs related courses. The theme of the seminar was presented by Shri. S. Rajagopal, Scientist-E, ADE, Bangalore. Prof. R. Asokan, HOD, School of Aeronautical Engineering proposed the Vote of Thanks.

The seminar focused on recent trends in UAVs. Topics included aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, guidance and control and navigations of UAVs. The seminar was divided into six sessions and each topic was explained and discussed in a separate session with a real time case study of UAVs designed by ADE, Bangalore. This gave the participants more insight into the real time design concepts and recent technology advancements of UAVs.

More than one hundred participants including 25 delegates of other academic institutions from various parts of Tamil Nadu attended and benefited from the series of lectures given by Shri. S. Rajagopal, Scientist-E and Shri. M. Suresh, Scientist-D, ADE, Bangalore.

Technology advancements in these areas will enable India to play a major role in the development of UAVs. To achieve this, there is a need for Industry-Institution collaboration. On the second day, a closed door discussion was also organized to initiate and strengthen the industry-Institute collaboration. During the closed door discussion, further areas of research need are also discussed for possible collaborations with ADE. These include the need for continued improvement of flapping wing mechanism, composite material usages, self healing technology of composites and aero-acoustics. During the Valedictory Function, certificates were issued to all the participants.
