Dear Sir,
Greetings to you.
From a long time I have not shared with you what is happening with the reform process at BVB which started about three years back with IUCEE initiatives.

• Last two days (24th and 25th of Jan.) we had a faculty conclave where in BVB faculty were to share the new initiatives and innovations they have done in course design, delivery and assessment in the last semester.
• There was an overwhelming response and totally 64 papers were presented in the conclave (33 oral presentations, and 31 posters) from the faculty of various programs.
• By considering the total number of authors in the conclave I can say that now 96 faculty of BVB are taking active interest in taking forward the learnings from IUCEE FLI's.
• The conclave not only gave the faculty an opportunity to share their initiatives with other faculty but also there was a good discussion all around.
• The conclave has created a lot excitement in other faculty who are not yet part of this movement and I believe this year many of them will be joining us.
• We have decided to make this a yearly feature.

Another good news I wish to bring to your notice that, our first autonomous batch is graduating this year and this is the batch which has gone through a very different learning experience because of the new initiatives (Again IUCEE FLI's). In the first week of placements the students had 732 placement offerings which is record breaking fear for our college. The feedback from the companies is very positive and encouraging compared to previous years. Many companies said 'We wish we had more numbers to recruit....'
We at BVB thankfully acknowledge IUCEE and particularly both of you Dr. Krishna Vedula and Dr. Ravindra for making this happen. I can only say that you have made a big difference to our institute and our students.
with regards
Ashok Shettar
