R10 GINIGlobal Integrated Network of IEEE students

Let our dreams come true!!!

LINK in a NutshellThe purpose of LINK was to act as a conjunctive body, ensemble the

Student Branches coming under IEEE Kerala Section GOALS• Add Value to IEEE Student membership.• Sustain smooth and ongoing interactions among the Student

Branches and Section.• Help the Student Branches in coordinating with Annual Reports as

well as other IEEE related documentations.• Conduct Membership Drives in all the interested Educational

Institutions• LINK takes the responsibility of coordinating and grooming the new

Student Branches in the initial years.• Identify potential volunteers and groom them to take up the

leadership of LINK as well as other IEEE activities in the forthcoming year.

LINK Activities

• Committee with one member from each student branch, term- 1 year

• Monthly on line meetings, quarterly face to face meetings

• 3 month activity plan , also nurturing weak SBs, aim for new SBs

LINK Impact• In 2003 10 SBs(3 active, 7 dormant)• In 2007 39 SBs(35 active, 4 dormant)• Now, student members participate in 10-12 INTER SB

activities in year adding value to membership (Reserve seats for other branches-mandatory for funding)

• Help local section to maximise utilization of funds • New officer reporting, smooth transition of

committee etc

IEEE R10 GINI (Global Integrated Network of IEEE students)

• Five year project to integrate all student branches of R10

• Based on the successful prototype in Kerala (LINK, Local Integrated Network of Kerala) for the past 4 years

IEEE R10-GINI

GINI Advantages• Stay Connected: Networking students in R10

GINI Time line

• 2008: Few Pilot sections to be identified , start coordination activities and establish

HUBs

• 2010: Establishing R10 GINI at Council level

• 2011: Expansion of R10 GINI

• 2012: Complete establishment of R10 GINI

GINI Work planPilot projects:• Australia & Kiwis• Hyderabad• Karachi• Delhi• Beijing• Chennai

Upcoming pilot sections are Taiwan, Hong Kong

Areas of Concern

• Membership Drives• IEEE Awareness• Spectrum Issues• Stabilizing IEEE Offices and the Volunteers• Branch Counselor – Institution Management Issues

Activities as a Start

A website to be created for us to integrate and network.

This will be coordinated by Delhi Pilot Project. R10-GINI will go online on February 14th

Networking around

Two Levels of Committees

Level 1 : R10 GINI Working Team

Level 2: Section GINI Committee

R10 GINI Committee

A committee at R10 levelRSAC, RSR and 3 members from each pilot

project ( atleast 1 should be a female)

Suggestion to R10 EXECOM, to have a representative exclusively from GINI into the team.

Working Structure

• Mails• Online Discussions– 1 in 14 days, to keep it regularly and have constant review

of the activities and its developments• Face to Face meetings– We are planning to have a face to face meeting, once in 3

months.

Section GINI Committee

A committee at Section level, with 2 student members from each SBs that will be chaired by three representing in the R10 GINI Committee
