Editorial
Happy New year to our readers
Let us begin this issue by profusely thanking the Principal, the Heads of the departments, the Newsletter coordinators and the faculty of S.Nijalingappa Institute of Dental Sciences and Research for the whole hearted support they gave us.
The Principal of the college in spite of her being on leave extended her whole hearted support and even coaxed her staff to cooperate and actively participate. The coordinators, the HODs, the faculty, true to her words extended their full cooperation in spite being heavily busy and occupied. We are really grateful to all them all, particularly for Dr. Satish BNVS, the Issue Editor , without whose concerted effort this edition would have been next to a dream. Look at the herculean effort that he put in in collecting near to 90 pages of matter, innumerable images and a good number of videos and that too within a matter of a week.
Progressing with the last issue we have brought this issue also on Digital Publishing Platform. This has given us an immense freedom by removing our dependency on the whims and fancies of the printing presses. This has now made the publishing totally in-house. It has also given us a chance to give flights to our creativity find its full play.
Apart from the video links, we introduced a plug in for feedback in the last issue. We have experimented with a few more plug-ins in this issue like call me back, rating tool, sound tool and gallery tool. With innumerable photos fetched from Dental College, we were in a great dilemma as to how to accommodate all of them in our limited space. The Gallery tool gave us a convenient solution. We could accommodate all of them and many more. With sound tool we are keeping you entertained with a sonorous music all along and this you can put off also if you desire. There is a five starred rating tool and we are at your behest to rate us. Call us and congratulate us if you desire to and there is a plug-in for that as well.
The greatest of all being, this Newsletter has been produced in collaboration with two editors the main editor and the Issue Editor. This has been made possible solely because of this Digital Publishing Platform and this is one of its most beautiful features.
The requirement of reaching to most of our students, staff and our alumni which we were trying through “mailchimp” will now be entrusted to this platform.
We probably are the first very few people who have ventured to come out with a truly Digital Newsletter for institutions. Our search for any other such effort by any other institute has been in the negative. Many of them end up just by uploading the Newsletter on their websites. We have all the reasons to congratulate ourselves for this effort of ours and at the same time need to be thankful for the management of HKE society for having given us this opportunity.
With this newsletter getting stabilized for few months, we have plans to bring out three more such newsletters, one for our Alumni, one for Researchers and finally one for our prospective students. We feel all these efforts put together will be able to raise our standards and bring-in many more admissions.
