 The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) on Saturday conducted an electrical trial run of the Mumbai monorail, from Wadala to Mysore Colony — a distance of 4.5 km. The first phase of the project, from Wadala to Chembur, is expected to be completed by November 2012. The project is being implemented by MMRDA, with Larsen & Toubro (L&T) and a consortium of Malaysian infrastructure Scomi Engineering.Dilip Kawathkar, joint project director (PR), MMRDA, said: “This is one of the electrical trial runs that we conducted on Saturday. Phase-I of the monorail is expected to be completed by late October or November this year.” The 19.56-km corridor will cost around Rs 2,460 crore (plus taxes) for the two phases. The second phase is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2013. The civil work on the line in Phase-I is likely to end by August and the trial runs could begin thereafter. | |||||||||||||

Ground Improvement Class notes for 6th sem.
Ground improvement has been both a science and art, with significant developments observed through ancient history. From the use of straw as blended infill with soils for additional strength during the ancient Roman civilizations, and the use of elephants for compaction of earth dams during the early Asian civilizations, the concepts of reinforced earth with geosynthetics, use of electrokinetics and thermal modifications of soils have come a long way. The use of large and stiff stone columns and subsequent sand drains in the past has now been replaced by quicker to install and more effective prefabricated vertical drains, which have also eliminated the need for more expensive soil improvement methods.
The early selection and application of the most appropriate ground improvement techniques can improve considerably not only the design and performance of foundations and earth structures, including embankments, cut slopes, roads, railways and tailings dams, but also result in their cost-effectiveness. Ground improvement works have become increasingly challenging when more and more problematic soils and marginal land have to be utilized for infrastructure development.

GRAPHEME-2009
The Editorial Team is rejoiced to present you the first edition of the
Graphic Era University's Magazine, "GRAPHEME".
Before I write more about the magazine, on behalf of the editorial
team, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Hon.
Prof. Kamal Ghanshala Sir for creating the environment without
which it would not have been possible for us to publish the
magazine and to Respected Prof. (col.) Rakesh Sharma, Director
Engg., for encouraging our idea and continuously boosting us
in the right direction to accomplish the task.
The first question that would strike a reader's mind is why
"Grapheme"? Well, the dictionary defines the word "Grapheme"
as "the fundamental unit in written language", e.g. alphabets, numbers
and punctuation marks in the English language. Just like the
graphemes of a language can collectively form a powerful statement,
in the same manner, we, the individuals, the graphemes of
the Graphic Era University, can do wonders together by uniting
our thoughts by the medium of this magazine.

Motorola Scholar Programme 2011-2012
Motorola Scholar Programme : 2011-2012
The objectives of the Motorola Scholar Program are :
- To encourage creativity and innovation amongst the students in polytechnics and engineering institutions across India particularly those in rural and semi-urban areas making them to think and prepare detailed project proposals on areas and topics of relevance.
- To take up problems of relevance related to (a) rural areas (b) rural communications (c) agricultural information systems (d) information flows (e) e-governance (f) resource utilization (g) ecology and rural areas (h) watershed development (i) use of ad hoc networks (j) renewable sources and utilization (h) rural planning etc.
- To award "Scholars" status to meritorious persons based on a rigorous three stage selection process refereed and conducted by experts.
Foundation for Advancement of Education and Research (FAER) announces Motorola Scholar program to select scholars from engineering colleges based on a project in the areas of
- Computer Science and Information Technology
- Communications
- Renewable Energy Systems
- Rural technologies
- Health care Technologies
- Labour saving Technologies for Women
- Ecology and Environment
- Applications
Selections will be done by FOUNDATION for ADVANCEMENT of EDUCATION and RESEARCH (FAER).
