Bangalore, 28th November 2021: Aakash Educational Services Limited (AESL), the national leader in test preparatory services, organised “Toppers Talk” by NEET topper Sonit Sai Reddy Vasipalli from Aakash Institute, Bangalore who scored 705 in NEET UG 2021 and secured AIR 56. Sonit, along with other students, (Jashan Chhabra: Karnataka State topper in NEET 2021,Sonit Sai Reddy: NEET 2021 AIR 56,Pranav K V: NEET 2021 AIR 60, Aditi Rubi singh: NEET 2021 AIR 293,Akita murthy: KCET 2021 – 8th Ranker in Engineering) were also facilitated.
When it came to subjects, it was not easy for Sonit to decide on whether to pursue Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Physics, Chemistry, Math. He was happy learning both till Class IX. But he realised that he had to make a decision soon, if he were to score high in a competitive exam. Sonit chose the former as he started developing a liking for biology. His mother, who was working as a biochemist and who quit her job to be available for Sonit and his younger sister, helped him make the right decision.
Though Sonit could save time as he did not have to travel to the center for his classes and tests during the lockdown, he did not know how to use it. He says: “Here is where Aakash came into the picture. The institute had introduced a structure to his preparations from the beginning till the end. It gave me resources like NCERT Maps, diagrams, and formula books. I got new perspectives of the same subject. I did not feel bored.”
Sonit found physics extremely interesting, but he was comparatively weak in organic chemistry. He read over and over again but he could not make much progress. So he tried new ways of conquering the subject. One of them was listening to explanations from Aakash’s staff and writing short notes. With time, he was making progress. Sonit’s future goal is to realise his potential and make a difference to the society in whatever way possible. He is looking forward to joining a reputed medical college.
Don’t lose focus on 200 million children in distress worldwide: Dr. Dereje Wordofa, President, SOS Children’s Villages International
Dr. Dereje Wordofa is currently on a visit to Bengaluru and spent a day at the campus of SOS Children’s Villages, Bannerghatta
BENGALURU / November 27, 2021 : Dr. Dereje Wordofa, President of SOS Children’s Villages International, has said there are 200 million children in distress across the world, including children without parental care. While SOS Children’s Villages of India has reached out to over a million children through its advocacy, family strengthening and family-like care programmes, that is clearly not enough. “We all need to deepen and strengthen existing partnerships with governments, institutions and partners, as well as forge new partnerships to make a difference in the lives of millions of more children worldwide, including in India,” he said.
Dr. Dereje Wordofa is currently on a visit to India. He spent a day at SOS Children’s Villages at Bannerghatta, Bengaluru, which is home to more than 100 children without parental care. Hailing from Ethiopia, Dr. Dereje Wordofa has been the President of SOS Children’s Villages since June 2021 when he was elected by the General Assembly, the organisation’s highest governance body. He is the fourth president in the 70-plus-year history of SOS Children’s Villages. Prior to joining SOS, Dr. Wordofa’s career took him on a journey from being a programme officer in the field to a diplomatic role as the United Nation’s Assistant Secretary General of the UN Population Fund.
Dr. Dereje Wordofa said: “An estimated 153 million children, worldwide, are orphans; across the globe, there are more than 160 million child labourers, accounting for almost 11% of children. Nearly half of all deaths in children under the age of 5 can be attributed to undernutrition, resulting in the unnecessary loss of about 3 million young lives a year. These are not mere figures; these are lives; these lives constitute our future; the future of nations and the world. There is an ongoing, much-need collective effort from individuals, organizations, agencies, governments and such, to take care of these children. However, as the figures reflect, so much more needs to be achieved, and this too at a sustained, yet accelerated pace.”
The journey of SOS Children’s Villages in India began in 1964. Today, the institution is present in 32 States and Union Territories of the country, serving more than 30,000 children each year. “This just goes to establish our strong bond with India. However, there is so much more that needs to be done, for which we are actively welcoming partnerships and collaboration at various levels, as we understand the need for a collective effort,” he added.
SOS CHILDREN’S VILLAGE BENGALURU The SOS Village in Bengaluru was established in 1990. Our work in Bengaluru revolves around supporting local children and families. The total number of children under our care, at present, is more than 100. These children reside in above 15 Family Homes, where they are nurtured by about 15 SOS mothers, Mother Trainees and Aunts. All the children at SOS Children’s Villages of India are enrolled in formal schools and even attend college for their higher education.
All festivals of National and international importance are celebrated with great enthusiasm at the Village. This helps inculcate in children the value of togetherness in a family. Apart from this, various activities are also organized often for Mothers and children to have their own bonding time. In addition, regular medical camps are also organized to keep a check on the health of children. SOS YOUTH At present, the total number of youth in the Youth House is more than 100. While the majority of our young boys are pursuing their education in schools, the rest are enrolled in reputed colleges for their bachelor degree courses. Special training is also provided to children for various vocational courses.
A number of workshops are organised at the Village and in the communities in order to generate awareness about key social issues like child labour, gender equality, importance of hygiene, female foeticide etc. FAMILY STRENGTHENING PROGRAMME The Family Strengthening Programme in Bengaluru was initiated in the year 2003. The purpose of starting this scheme was to empower families who could not sustain themselves on their own and needed support. Under this programme families are supported with financial aid, and also encouraged towards their socio-economic development by working towards developing their skills. This helps people realize their highest potential. At present, there are 476 beneficiaries under the FSP. Once a family becomes self- sufficient, it exits the programme and is replaced by a new family.
Various personality development workshops and programmes are organized in collaboration with SWASTI, Child Rights Trust, NIMHANS, INSA India, and others in order to strengthen the capacity of such families.
Another major part of our Family Strengthening Programme is Self-Help Groups (SHGs). Almost all families become part of a SHG, where people from the same socio-economic background come together to solve problems of each other through mutual help. FSP in Bengaluru has also worked widely towards sensitizing families that fall under its care. Regular seminars and awareness programmes are organized where children and their parents are educated about key social issues like HIV/AIDS, adolescence related issues, gender equality et cetera

Jabil provides 80+ jobs to citizens of Pune, India through the production of Versa Networks’ SD-WAN devices
Bangalore, India, 24 November 2021 – Versa Networks, the leader in Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), today announced its partnership with global manufacturing solutions provider Jabil to manufacture its leading SD-WAN appliances in support of the national Make in India initiative.
The Make in India initiative was launched by the Prime Minister in September 2014 as part of a wider set of nation-building initiatives. Devised to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub, the “Make in India” initiative seeks to position the country as a nation of innovation and aims to provide more job opportunities to the Indian community as the technology landscape in the country continues to evolve. As part of the initiative global companies are incentivised to move or open-up part of their product manufacturing locally in India.
Versa Networks’ Secure SD-WAN is a transformative technology that simplifies the IT infrastructure control and management by delivering a virtual WAN architecture that securely connects users to their applications.
An SD-WAN solution includes a controller and a branch device that is operated from the data centre or cloud where the controller is deployed. Jabil is focused on the manufacturing of the branch devices – specifically universal branch CPE (customer premise equipment) appliances – that hosts Secure SD-WAN software and support third-party VNFs as part of Versa’s solution. Although Versa branded, these devices are sold by Jabil directly to distributors for partners and customers to purchase.
“With India as the second biggest market for Versa, coupled with the Government’s initiative, deploying a manufacturer in the region this year has been an important move,” said Abhishek Jain, Regional Sales Director, India & SAARC at Versa Networks. “What’s more, we’re proud to be involved in an initiative that gives back to the community with the offer of jobs and upskilling opportunities, as well as doing our part to enhance India’s economy.”
With production starting at the beginning of August and three product families having been produced so far, Jabil’s manufacturing plants in Pune, India are currently providing more than 80 jobs for locals. Every academic year Jabil hires apprentices and graduate trainees from various institutions, providing various skills enhancement training programs to support skills development in the region.
“The recent explosion in cloud, virtualisation, IoT, and the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, has caused a dramatic rise in the amount of traffic and data passing through enterprise WANs, resulting in a number of networking challenges for organisations,” says Sunil Naik, Operations Director at Jabil Pune. “Versa’s Secure SD-WAN technology is giving businesses the solution to these challenges and having the opportunity to be a part of that solution by manufacturing the CPE appliances on behalf of Versa whilst simultaneously being involved in an initiative like ‘Make in India” is really exciting.”
