Mozmin, wife of Razibuddin Ahmed
of the Advisory establishment at
Margherita T.E., was awarded her
PhD for her thesis on ‘Performance
Study of an Ad Hoc Network under
Malicious Node Attack’ from the
North East Regional Institute of
Science & Technology (NERIST),
Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh. She
received her degree on 19 April 2015
from Air Marshal (Retd) P.K. Borbora in the presence of His Excellency the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh.
After getting her B.Tech degree in Computer Science & Engineering, Mozmin went on to complete her M. Tech
in Information Technology at NERIST. She has attended International Workshops and has a vast number of paper
publications on her area of expertise, to her credit. Recently, one of her papers has been accepted for a conference
in Malaysia.
She is presently doing research on ‘The Effect of Malicious Nodes on the Latence, Packet Drop & Throughput in
an Ad Hoc Network’. We wish her all success in her academic career.
Neharika, daughter of Saneer
Gurung (HO Kolkata) and Dimple,
was one of the three-member team
from Shrishti School of Art, Design
& Technology, Bengaluru, who
created a film called ‘Shifting Tides’
which won the award for Best Film
in the Non-Fiction category at the Students’ Film
Festival of India held at the Film & Television Institute
of India (FTII) Pune from 24 to 28 February 2015.
The National Students' Film Awards were instituted in
2012 by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting,
Government of India, to promote emerging film-
making talents in film schools around the country and
provide them with a platform that would help them
realize their artistic vision. Students from film and
design institutes across the country submit their films to
be evaluated by eminent personalities and then be
nominated for a range of awards.
‘Shifting Tides’ was filmed in Kutch, a semi-arid region
in Gujarat. The film is about the Jat Community and
Kharai Camels. This unique camel species is one of its
kind because they swim in marine waters in search of
mangroves – their primary diet. The main objective
behind filming this particular breed, and this particular
nomadic tribal community, was to bring to light the
issues that these people face, and to raise awareness
about the Kharai Camels – a breed that is not a
registered species and thus in grave danger of becoming
extinct.
Neharika was responsible for the sound effects. We
applaud her and the team for focusing on a worthy
cause, congratulate her on her success and wish her a
bright future.
