Free thinkers

2017-18 Kerala Edition

We have received 194 applications. We wish we could accommodate all of you. We had a difficult time to select a few from them due to the limited amount of resources. All the applications were reviewed independently by a selection committee of 11 members. Applications which received positive reviews from the committee were selected and invited for the workshop. The invitations were sent by creating three waiting lists. Finally, we could only accommodate 17 candidates this time. Those free thinkers are:

Vinitha Johny

Research Interest: Earthquake detection

Chinmaya KV

Research Interest: Pattern in Areca nut

Subham Ghosh

Research Interest: Wave mechanics

Raiza Rebecca Jacob

Research Interest: Fire Extinguishing

Muhammad Sabith

Research Interest: Investigating spherical coordinates

Why OAR: First of all, I am not that much good in English. But trying hard to make it better. Please read with keep it in mind I am a +2 finished student. Fully open minded. But never a relegiuosless freethinker. I like to be a freelancer at every stage of my life. No boundaries for thoughts. Then everyone can fly to high.

Then, coming to matter I am also a victim of the poor educational system of India. It never finding gems. It only highlighting some great memory capacitive Brains. I am also a victim of the trend too which was 'Study well get pass 10th, take science in higher secondary, copy all subject to mind, achieve a great grade, join entrance coaching, become a doctor or engineer. The End😀'

I never got a exact career guidance as I needed since my lower class. I can't make a clear career goal in my 12 years of school. And that is the main fault of our education system. Not only me, same for many of students case. And you know, after I read about your organization in Manorama, I thought: At last I found someone, who is thinking same as me in academic interests. And I am wondering, how close your vision, mission are similarly to my educational career concepts and interests. I have a motto to spread anyone, who is discussing about career roads with me.. That is "job is for education, not education is for job." We want knowledge. No limit or boundaries for that. Job is never be a destination of your education life. And i heard same in your intro. It Really caught my eyes. I am really interested to join you in this movement and never going to lose this chance. I Hope i will join and I want to change. No, I am ready to change. And to change external forces in our education system.

Nihal VS

Research Interest: Accelerating Universe

Priyanka Arun

Research Interest: Solar energy harvesting

Why OAR: I would like to like to join OAR because I hope your organisation would give me a platform to enrich my scientific insight. I am currently doing my third year BSc physics. Except for my lab sessions in college, I didn’t get any opportunity to carry out any research activity. After going through the primary goals of OAR, I believe this program would help me get a feel of the subject and improve my thought process.
