A Memorable day with Dr. Molly Joseph

Yesterday, 17 September 2025, was a day of great learning and inspiration in our college. Our department organised a seminar on the topic “A Positive De-Cocooning from Cyber Cells,” and the session was led by none other than our beloved former teacher, Dr. Molly Joseph. 

Though she has retired from teaching, she still carries the same passion and energy that once made her classes so unforgettable. 

During the session, Dr. Molly spoke about how we often find ourselves trapped in the “cocoons” of technology. Cyber cells, social media, and endless digital interactions sometimes isolate us instead of connecting us. But through her words, she reminded us that technology is not entirely bad, it depends on how we choose to use it. If handled positively, the digital world can help us grow, share knowledge, and even build a better future.

She shared her own experiences as a writer, poet, and traveler.

With 25 published books and another one on the way, she stands as a shining example of how creativity can thrive in this digital age. Her stories, from visiting different countries to interacting with people from diverse backgrounds, reminded us that the real world outside the internet is equally important.

The seminar was not just about cyber cells, it was about life, balance, and responsibility. Dr. Molly’s kind words and wise thoughts encouraged us to break out of isolation, embrace positivity, and use technology as a tool for growth.

Our department hosted a one day workshop on "Building Permission Application using KSMART" on September 16, 2025, from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. The session was handled by M.A. Muhammad Azhar, Structural Engineer and Managing Director of Team Anversons, Aluva. 

KSMART (Kerala State Mapping, Application, and Research for Transformation) is a government initiative aimed at leveraging geospatial technologies for planning, development, and efficient governance across Kerala. It focuses on integrating mapping, data analysis, and research to support decision-making in sectors like infrastructure, environment, disaster management, and public services. The platform is used by civil engineers for building approvals, land use planning, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.


The forenoon session, attended by 70 B.Tech final-year students, aimed to introduce the legal and procedural aspects of building permits in Kerala and equip students with practical knowledge of the KSMART digital platform.


The afternoon session, designed for M.Tech students and faculty members, focused on preparing building drawings for submission on KSMART to obtain approval. Both sessions were highly informative, providing valuable insights into the application process.
