Eureka - Idea to avoid Queue in Banks

Depositing money in a bank is a time consuming job, especially in peak hours. Once we reach the bank we have to fill the deposit slip which is available in the counters and we have to wait in the long queue to deposit, wasting our precious time. So in order to make this whole process of deposit a time effective we can employ a simple idea by which a customer is given a time slot in which he can deposit. The entire process is made simple through Online Token System for Bank Deposits.

The customer who needs to deposit has to go to the bank’s webpage where he can finish all the formalities like filling up of deposit forms and he can search for his convenient time to deposit. If the time which he seeks is not available the system will show the nearest available time slots. After choosing the time slot and submitting the form he can carry on with his work. By this Online Token System he need not spend his time in queue, he can go to the bank at his allotted time slot and he can deposit.

Atomic energy

The genius among the scientists invented the principle for atomic energy. When a radio-active atom disintegrates, it releases tremendous energy. When atom is bombarded artificially, it will also release energy. This energy is called atomic energy. It can be used for the welfare of the nation. Now it is used to destroy another nation. The inventions of atom bombs and hydrogen bombs have led some men to think on the destructive lines.
Nowadays throughout the world, nuclear power stations are set up. Here the energy is used for the generation of electricity. The Thermal energy is converted into electrical energy. The electricity thus obtained is used up for industrial use and domestic use. It can also be used as a fuel for heating certain materials. New radio active isotopes are prepared artificially. Such isotopes are useful in medicine, agriculture and industries. It is also used for the preparation of heavy water, which is essential for nuclear reactors.
Today natural resources are decreasing. So it is the duty of human beings to harness the available resources such as the sun and the atomic energy.

DOC1 Designer

DOC1 designer is an application developed in Visual C++ in .net platform. It is a tool to develop documents. We can create a document template from which we can generate letters i.e most of the contents in a letter will be the same except the name, address, amount details etc, so datafields are mapped in these places. If we run the document using appropriate tool, these datafields are mapped with the names in the repository, thus we can generate letters for different customers in the same time. In a doc1 designer there is a window called edit window in which we will build oour documents. After building our documents we will issue them for generation. The next step is creating a publication for the document. In the publication we will add our document and issue them. Then comes the creation of job file. After creating the job file we will publish the issued version in the publication. After some steps in publication wizard a HIP file is generated. A hip file is a file which contains our document and enables the user to generate multiple leters when input is passed.

National Cadet Corps

The National Cadet Corps is an organization set up by the government of India in order to give military training to students. The main of this training is to grow the spirit of nationalism among students and make them ready to defend the country. The N.C.C has units in almost all the schools and colleges in our country. Cadets from various colleges come together for training in summer camps and winter camps. These give the cadets training in using weapons.

The spirit of national leaders should be instilled into the young cadets. The training given by National Cadet Corps injects the spirits of living for the country into the nerves of the cadets.
