I was looking for information about schools in Cochin then saw this thread. Is there any other thread that covers this?

I am adding information about one school that I know about - The Choice School.

http://www.choiceschool.com/

Please update this thread if you happened to know about schools in and around Cochin which can help kids from abroad adapt easily.

Thanks

IIT Kochi

Innovation varsity to promote world-class research

G. Krishnakumar

Kochi among 14 centres chosen to establish the institutions

KOCHI: Kochi is among 14 places across the country identified by the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) for setting up a world class innovation university.

The other centres are Amritsar, Greater Noida, Jaipur, Patna, Guwahati, Kolkata, Bhopal, Gandhinagar, Coimbatore, Mysore, Pune, Visakhapatnam, and Bhubaneswar.

The Ministry had circulated the draft legislation for comments by various stakeholders. According to the draft Bill, the innovation universities are aimed at making India a global knowledge hub. Each one to be built around a theme or subject, these unique universities will enjoy total autonomy in appointments, collaborations, resource generation and nomenclature of degrees.

The universities will be open to all, irrespective of nationality, gender, ethnicity and disability, provided at least half the students admitted to any programme are Indians. There is, however, no mention of caste-based reservation.

Each university for innovation will have to establish a university endowment fund but will have the freedom to receive donations, contributions from alumni and other incomes as long as 80 per cent of the annual income is used for development of research infrastructure.

The university will be a not-for-profit legal entity and no part of the surplus revenue will be invested for any purpose except the growth and development of the university.

The innovation universities are primarily intended to be private institutions. However, the Ministry can also make grants to develop them, in which case the President would be the Visitor and the government would have a larger role in their functioning.

Board of governors

Each university will have an independent board of governors empowered to discharge all functions by enacting statutes to provide for its administration, management and operations.

The board will delegate its powers to the academic board, headed by the Vice-Chancellor, that will perform financial, management and administrative functions including appointments and collaborations; the Board of Studies that will specify programmes of study; the Faculty of Knowledge Manpower Assessment to study and assess through research trends in emerging fields of knowledge of relevance, and the Research Council that will interface with the research funding organisations, industry and civil society.

The draft Bill pointed out that the establishment of the 14 universities is expected to set benchmarks for excellence for other institutions of higher learning through “path-breaking research and promoting synergies between teaching and research.”

Each university will stand for humanism, tolerance, reason and adventure of ideas and search for truth. It is expected to attempt to provide a path for humankind free from deprivation and seek to understand and appreciate nature and its laws for the well-being of the people.

Minister to open MEC research centre

KOCHI: Education Minister M.A. Baby will inaugurate a research centre and M.Tech. courses at the Model Engineering College (MEC), Thrikkakara, on Saturday.

The MEC had a strategic plan to evolve as a centre of excellence in the prime areas of technology right from the time of its inception, says a communication from the college authorities.

Over a span of 21 years, the college has developed its own infrastructure essential for the existing undergraduate programmes and has tremendously upgraded the technical expertise of the faculty.
The state-of-the-art facilities in advanced technologies have enabled the college to attain the status of research centre under CUSAT.

In order to cater to the demands of higher education in the fast developing technological fields, the college has started two more M.Tech courses in Signal Processing and Opto Electronics.

The major research areas under the Research Centre include Signal and Image processing, Opto electronics, VLSI, Communication Systems and Bio Medical Engineering.
The college has an annual intake of 330 students per batch for B.Tech and 54 students for M.Tech.

Almost all students have secured jobs through campus placements in top rated companies.

MEC has the highest pass percentage compared to all other colleges under CUSAT. MEC students have retained all the top ranks of the university, says the communication.

Stopping at destinations of their choice, they capture facets of life’s changing perspectives on their canvases. The works of five MFA final year students of RLV College of Fine Arts displayed at Bindhi’s Art Gallery are thought-provoking.

Anoop S Kalarickal takes you to the origin of folk art forms, to their elaborate style of dressing and presentation. The spectacular forms that evoke terror and fear take you to the time when they were a way of protest against the injustice shown to those in the lower rungs of society. Anoop brings to mind the myths associated with the ritual art form with his unique treatment and style. He portrays parts of spectacular form and embellishments and links them to stylised hand and legs in meaningful ways in his works. Rats take on symbolic hues in one frame.

Sajo Joseph’s works depict trees of iron pipes branching out into different forms and bearing fruits of technology’s findings. The black and red tones give an arid feeling. Titled ‘Doomsday Series,’ all the three frames exhibited by him show how metallic pipes are ruling the roost. Amid the maze of pipes that twist and turn, he makes use of words to express his feeling that only a sharp eye can decipher. In one frame, he gives details of a metallic tap. Away from the objective depictions, introspection finds its way into Abraham Alex’s works. His series is about thoughts that run through his mind and he is a mute witness to the things that pass by in his works.

In each frame, a few words are striking like ‘As expected same old story you’re a good for nothing,’ lingers in our mind. He brings out the different dimensions of relationship and the context of power and superiority remains a question in his images of muscle men gearing up for a fight. On another frame, the words, ‘I hope this is not the end, maybe its just a beginning’ spreads hope.

Life in all its hues has been captured by T S Prasanth in his works. His crowded scenes are peopled with all kinds of emotions and expressions. He brings out the good and bad sides of public places where strangers rub shoulders and danger lurks in every corner. His frames are almost chaotic with people lost in each one’s need and activity. Prasanth has an uncanny way of bringing the crowd alive on his canvas.

The heart is a symbol that stands for many things and Anoopkumar V S has used in different ways. In one frame a heart opens out of an egg shell. In another, it blooms open. He also depicts the heart on a lock with all its chambers locked, seeming to say that the warmth and depth of life remains locked. Anoop seems to be exploring the magic that the heart unfolds in his works. The potential and skill of the young artists reflect from each work.
The exhibition will run through June 27.
