We have initiated to develop a website that would feature
magazines for our college in digital form. Forgetting all the traditional ways
to compile a magazine which were struck with several limitations, we have come
up with an idea of E-Magazine. This idea I discussed with several faculty members of English
Department from our college, BCET, and they reacted positively towards this
initiative. The appreciation got even warmer when I explained them the surplus
benefits which I targeted to achieve through the website. And yes, why not; if
we have a dedicated website for our E-magazine, then why not extend the
potentials of the website a little more and include sections like Blog, and
Alumni as well?
The website will be featuring issues of our E-magazine, and along with that, we
will be having a section called ‘Blog’, where members of E-Magazine committee as
well as faculty members from our college can post their blogs. And with this, I started working on the website.
I suggested the
name, ‘Nav-Aakash’, which is the substantive mixture of two independent Hindi
words, ‘Nav’, which means new, and ‘Aakash’, which means sky. So together ‘Nav-Aakash’
means discovering a new sky, the sky where sprouts various creative instincts.
Other than the website I am also designing the layout and designing pages for
the E-Magazine. Juniors have also started to show their positive responses and
are willing to join our magazine committee.
We are expecting to release the first issue of the magazine
at the earliest.
