RV University students use design to drive positive social change

RV University students

Bengaluru, 14th May 2024: The School of Design and Innovation (SDI) at RV University sparked critical conversations about design’s potential for social change with its student-led exhibition, “Design for Justice.” Held on 10-12 May 2024, the prestigious Chitrakala Parishath in Bengaluru hosted this showcase of impactful design solutions.

“Design for Justice” spotlighted the work of passionate B.Des and M.Des students who are deeply committed to confronting societal and environmental challenges through design. Their meticulous research and innovative thinking yielded tangible solutions that address marginalized communities, sustainability, and digital equality. This exhibition, spearheaded by a talented team of student organizers, exemplified design’s power as a force for positive change.

“Design for Justice is a curated public exhibition led entirely by the students of School of Design and Innovation (SDI), RV University. The School is known for its focus on design, technology and society and while it prepares the students for corporate and entrepreneurial careers in design, it also builds in them a strong social responsibility ethic. Design for Justice is not a pin up students’ annual work – It is a response to the need for design to challenge its complicity in asymmetries of power and to cater to the needs of those peoples and communities that are generally marginalized and overlooked in and through design. Furthermore, through their involvement in a curated exhibition such as this, SDI students have gained tangible experience in curatorial practice and curatorship, display and exhibition design, event and project management, social media and marketing. I am so proud of them.” says Dr. Anuradha Chatterjee, Pro Vice Chancellor and Dean of SDI, RV University.

“Justice is a profound concept. When we look around, there are several challenges to the idea of securing justice for all. Persons with disabilities are relegated to live as second-class citizens as our built environment, transport systems, etc. are not fully accessible. Same holds good for other vulnerable sections also. I am delighted that students in our School of Design and Innovation have put up an exhibition on “Design for Justice” and are engaging with contemporary challenges. Our students are not only learning design skills but also developing the social consciousness to drive positive change. I commend Dr. Anuradha Chatterjee, Pro Vice-Chancellor and Dean of the School of Design and Innovation, for her leadership and all faculty members of her school in nurturing these socially responsible designers. This student-led exhibition demonstrates RVU’s commitment to fostering a new generation of professionals who understand the power of their craft to challenge inequalities, foster inclusivity, and build a more just world.” says Prof. (Dr.) Y.S.R. Murthy, Founding Vice Chancellor of RV University.

The “Design for Justice” exhibition was more than a display of student work; it represented SDI’s commitment to design that goes beyond aesthetics. Recognizing the potential of design to shape experiences, interactions, and even societal systems, SDI encourages students to grapple with complex issues facing our communities. This exhibition was the culmination of rigorous research, empathetic exploration, and a determination to use design as a catalyst for change.

Visitors to “Design for Justice” weren’t just passive observers. The exhibition included interactive workshops where attendees delved deeper into the themes explored by the student projects. Guest speakers and industry experts shared insights, further sparking dialogue and critical thinking about how design intersects with social, environmental, and legal challenges.

“Design for Justice” aimed to leave a lasting impact on attendees, inspiring them to consider design’s role in their own lives and communities. Whether you’re a designer, student, or simply a concerned citizen, this exhibition challenged you to rethink what design can accomplish. It served as a reminder that even seemingly small design decisions can have far-reaching consequences, and a call to embrace design as a tool for building a more just and equitable world.

Exhibition Sub-Themes and Highlights

The design-focused exhibition explored six critical sub-themes:

Design-Ability: Creating inclusive designs for diverse needs and abilities.

Accessibility: Removing barriers to ensure equal participation and experiences across physical and digital spaces.

Sustainability: Prioritising environmental responsibility at the heart of design choices.

Wellness Design: Promoting physical and mental well-being through design solutions.

Access for Digital Inequality: Bridging the digital divide with designs that promote technology access and skills.

Ethics and Privacy in Design: Upholding ethical standards in design to protect user data and privacy in a technology-driven world.

Breaking down financial barriers: How to plan higher education in the US

Raghwa Gopal,

By Raghwa Gopal, CEO of M Square Media

Pursuing higher education in the US is an aspirational dream cherished by many, across generations. This allure hasn’t faded away with time, even after the emergence of newer international education destinations, some of which may be affordable as compared to the US or offer better chances to take up work during study or after its completion.
Overall, it’s estimated that about 1,057,188 international students were studying in the United States (US) in the academic year 2022-23. Indian students are the second largest group there, after their Chinese counterparts. As per the Open Doors Report (ODR) released in November 2023, the number of international students from India studying in the United States stood at 263,923 – a 35% increase from 2021-22 to 2022-23. Most of these students – 165,936 – were pursuing graduation in the US.

Higher education in the US has long been hailed as a pathway to academic success, opening doors to global jobs, pursuing industry-leading research, and learning new-age programs. However, the hefty tuition fee in the US is the biggest roadblock for students, overriding other concerns such as visa, accommodation, travel arrangements, adjusting to a new academic set-up, and different societal norms.

The US ranks as the most expensive country to seek higher education. Studying at the most notable US universities comes at a premium. For example, the average tuition fee at New York’s Columbia University is around $80,000. Known for its path-breaking research, it counts Barack Obama among many of its notable alumni. The average fee at Duke University – the alma mater of Tim Cooks – roughly stands at $78,000. Of course, these would vary from program in consideration and city of education, among other aspects.

These stats may seem overwhelming; thankfully, today several student loans and other finance options are easily available. As a former international student myself, my strong advice is to look for solutions (in this case, financial aid options) instead of mulling over the cost of education.

Understand one core fact that just like other commodities and services, education costs too rise with time. Volatile geo-political situations, the difference between the Indian Rupee and the US Dollar, changing visa norms, additional riders, and other unexpected expenses are the traditional game spoilers for students seeking education in the US. My suggestion is to see the other side of the coin. Begin as follows:

Plan early: Typically, universities in the US have three different intakes: January/Spring, May/Summer and September/Fall. Plan much in advance to grab a program at your dream university. While you start planning for intakes, do thorough research on overall education costs to understand the outcome better.

Create a budget: Develop a realistic budget based on your lifestyle. Other than tuition fees, accommodation, meals, transportation, communication, and personal expenses – also include aspects such as research and educational items, gadgets, and health insurance.

Speak to counselors: Consult trusted experts such as MSM Unify advisors or other certified experts in advance. Understand well the fee structures of the chosen universities. Seek advice on the most affordable and popular choices available to students like you.

Competitive student loans: Education loans are a popular tool to fund your education. Look for a loan where payment terms and duration are relaxed as compared to the other alternatives.

Scholarships: Scholarships and grants are valuable resources for students. Conduct thorough research to identify scholarship opportunities offered by colleges, private organizations, respective governments and community groups. Some of the popular scholarships for Indian students seeking the US education are:

• Tata Scholarship
• AAUW International Fellowships
• Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation Scholarships
• Clarendon Scholarships
• Felix Scholarship
• Stanford Reliance Dhirubhai Fellowship
• Fulbright Scholarship

Work opportunities: Many US universities allow students to work while studying, though these come with riders. Many students choose to work part-time jobs to help cover their living expenses and ease the education loans. Here are some ways to consider work while studying:

– Paid internships
– Part-time jobs
– Assistants
– Volunteering (though these may not be paid, but still offer good industry exposure)

Network to seek solutions: This is my best bet. Speak with other Indian students who are presently studying in the US to understand their journey. It will have cues for you and show you many new perspectives. Also, connecting with fellow students who want to pursue US education just like you will help. Together, all of you could create a pool of information and resources that would make your international education easier and a lot more fun.

Planning for higher education in the US involves navigating a complex landscape of costs, financial aid options, and potential challenges. Hence, by developing a comprehensive financial plan, exploring all available resources, and proactively addressing obstacles, students can overcome financial barriers and pursue their educational goals with confidence. Remember, with determination, resourcefulness, and support, higher education in the US can become a reality.

By providing comprehensive training programs and invaluable resources, the academy aims to create a safer and healthier society for all.

Mr. Karthik Kondepudi Partner at Herbochem

“International Nurses Day is an emotional indication of the inestimable contributions nurses make to our world. As we rejoice in their devotion, commitment, empathy, and ability, it’s vital to recognize the deep impression strategic investment in nursing can have on our economies and humanities. As we all know nursing isn’t just an occupation; it’s the basis of our healthcare systems, improving our lives. Their significance spreads far outside the limits of hospitals and clinics. Investing in nursing is thus investing in the very foundation of our well-being. Studies show that investing in the education and skill development of our nurses results in better health outcomes and cost savings. Moreover, investing in nursing produces social aid. Strategic investment in nursing also addresses insistent global health issues, such as the dearth of healthcare professionals, particularly in underserved areas. By providing funds for nurse education, training, and retaining, we can bridge this gap, guaranteeing reasonable access to healthcare for all. Also, investing in nursing studies boosts innovation and drives improvements in healthcare delivery, technology, and policy. On this International Nurses Day, let us reiterate our pledge to invest in nursing. Let us recognize nurses not only as caregivers but also as agents of change who are propelling progress and shaping the future of healthcare.”

Apollo Spectra Urges Mothers to Prioritize Health and Wellness for a Better Future this Mother’s Day

Delhi, 13th May 2024: Mothers play a key role in shaping the lifestyle habits of their children, and by leading by example, they can significantly impact their child’s health and well-being. Dr. Atul Sardana emphasizes the importance of prioritizing health and wellness not only for themselves but also for future generations. By promoting healthy behaviors such as maintaining a balanced diet, staying active, and avoiding harmful habits like smoking, mothers can instill lifelong habits that promote overall health and prevent issues like obesity. This Mother’s Day, let us celebrate all the mothers who are champions of health in both their own lives and those of their families.

Sushma Sharma (Name Change), is a 46-year-old woman. She was suffering from Diabetes, high BP, and many other health issues because of her obesity. She weighed 146 kg and tried many ways to lose weight without success. When her health got worse, she decided to get help from doctors. She went to Apollo Spectra Hospital and met Dr. Atul Sardana, who suggested a sleeve gastrectomy. The surgery by Dr. Sardana was a turning point for Sushma. In just three weeks, she lost 25 kg, which made a big difference in her health and appearance. Now, she has more energy feels better, and is on her journey to losing more weight over the next 18 weeks. Her story inspires Mothers dealing with obesity to seek medical help. Dr. Sardana’s expertise in the surgery changed Sushma’s life. This success shows that bariatric surgery can help people with severe obesity. Sushma’s story highlights the importance of knowing about available treatments and acting early to avoid serious health problems.

Dr. Atul Sardana, a well-known obesity surgeon at Apollo Spectra Hospital Pusa Road in Delhi, is actively combatting the increasing rates of obesity. He has noticed a worrying trend in his practice – more mothers are leading unhealthy lifestyles that are affecting their children’s health. About 200 out of the 500 patients he sees each year are mothers whose habits are making their children either obese or close to being obese. While genetics can play a role in obesity, Dr. Sardana stresses that lifestyle choices have a big impact on weight and health.

Numerous women enjoy taking evening walks, yet struggle to resist the temptation of indulging in junk food. Achieving a balance between physical activity and healthy eating is crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being. Our food choices greatly impact our energy levels, mood, and quality of life. While occasional indulgence is acceptable, prioritizing nutrient-dense foods is essential for supporting both physical and mental health. By striking a sustainable equilibrium between exercise and nutrition, individuals can reach their wellness objectives while still treating themselves occasionally.

Dr. Atul Sardana emphasizes the increasing trend of sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary habits, and inadequate physical activity among families as major contributors to the obesity epidemic. In India nearly 40% of women fall under the overweight or obese category. Through personalized patient care at Apollo Spectra Hospital on Pusa Road, Dr. Sardana educates individuals on healthier options and guides them towards lifestyle changes to combat this urgent health issue. In addition to individual care, he actively participates in community outreach programs aimed at promoting obesity prevention in Delhi and its neighbouring areas.
