Meet Avni Jain, hired by Google for record breaking salary by..., not from IIIT, IIM, VIT, BIT, she is from.... Getting a job in a giant tech company like Google is the dream of millions of students. In such a situation, if a student reaches Google on the basis of his hard work and skills without studying from a top branded college in a big city, then that story becomes really inspiring. One such story is of Avni Jain, who studied from a college in Jharkhand and then got directly selected for the post of software engineer in a multinational company like Google. In such a situation, it would not be wrong to call her a Google Girl. Who is Avni Jain? Avni Jain is originally from Indore, Madhya Pradesh. She completed her schooling from a reputed private school in Indore. Avni was good at studies since childhood and had a keen interest in technology. In the year 2021, she passed the 12th examination with good marks. After this, she decided to make a career in the field of engineering. Studied from IIT ISM Dhanbad After 12th, Avni got admission in Indian Institute of Technology Dhanbad (IIT ISM Dhanbad). She has obtained a degree in Computer Science Engineering and completed her engineering this year. In the third year of engineering, Avni got a golden opportunity to do an internship at Google. This was the result of her technical proficiency, projects and coding skills. During her internship at Google, she worked on big projects, which increased her professional understanding and confidence a lot. Did she work as a mentor? As soon as Avni completed her she got a job offer from Google as a software engineer. This offer was for a package of lakhs, which is like a dream for any fresher engineer. It is not easy to get selected directly in a company like Google, but Avni had a strong hold on subjects like coding skills, data structure, algorithm, and system design. After the internship experience, Avni worked as a mentor in a technical community called CodeISM. Here she used to guide junior students in coding, problem solving and interview preparation. This improved her leadership qualities and teamwork skills, which helped her a lot during placements. She also performed brilliantly in his interview rounds and finally Google made him a part of its global team. Avni's success is proof that if the goal is clear and hard work is done continuously, then no destination is far.

IIIT-A develops interactive gaming robot to support children with autism
Prayagraj: Inspired by the emotional struggles of Ishaan from the Bollywood film 'Taare Zameen Par', where the world fails to understand and accept the challenges faced by autistic children, scientists at the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Allahabad are working on an innovative solution that promises to offer new hope for these children. They are developing an interactive gaming robot designed to support the mental and intellectual growth of children with autism. The robot's unique feature lies in its ability to combine space-themed mathematical games with a deeply personalised approach to each child. As children play these games, the robot will not only teach them maths but also recognise their emotions, interests, and learning patterns. This way, the robot will assist in bridging the gap in their education, making learning engaging and more intuitive. Prof Vrijendra Singh, from the Information Technology (IT) department of IIIT Allahabad, explained that the learning process for autistic children is distinct from that of typical children, and they require a specialised educational approach. Keeping this in mind, the robot is being designed to address these needs by helping children learn through play. The project was spearheaded by PhD student Anishma Yadav and MTech student Aanchal Nagvanshi, who are working closely on the development of this robotic solution. The robot integrates both education and play, using a tablet that displays a space-themed game. Characters such as the moon, planets, and rockets will ask children simple arithmetic problems like addition, subtraction, and counting. As children respond, the robot will provide real-time feedback through voice and gestures. Moreover, the robot is designed to read the child's emotional cues, including facial expressions, and detect moments when the child is confused or unsure. At those times, it will either simplify the task or offer words of encouragement, such as "Great job"" or "Try again, you're doing well!" According to Prof Singh, the initiative is based on research that shows that about 1 in 100 children worldwide is affected by autism, with approximately 18-20 million children suffering from it in India alone.

IIIT-A develops smart dairy monitoring system
Prayagraj: The Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Allahabad, has developed an advanced video-based smart dairy monitoring system to ensure the health and wellbeing of cattle using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (MI). The system, designed under the leadership of Prof Vrijendra Singh, aims to revolutionise dairy farming by enabling real-time health surveillance of cattle. This cutting-edge system, which includes setting up video cameras at cow shelters, can detect early symptoms of serious cattle diseases like mastitis, lumpy skin disease and ketosis. By closely monitoring the animals' behaviour and physical movements, the system alerts dairy farmers through mobile notifications if it notices any abnormalities or signs of illness. Testing of the system is scheduled to begin shortly at selected cow shelters in the region. A remarkable feature of this system is its video analysis technology that constantly monitors the body language and behavioural patterns of the cattle. It can detect even minor changes in routine, such as lethargy, isolation from the herd, or reduced appetite — often the first signs of illness. This allows timely veterinary intervention and preventive care. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal? How to get Internet without paying a subscription? Techno Mag Learn More Undo Prof Singh explained that system operates using a machine learning algorithm trained on thousands of video datasets. It analyses various factors, including cows' walking patterns, feeding behaviour, posture and social interactions. Any deviations from normal are flagged as potential health risks. The innovation was developed by a dedicated team, including three students from Banasthali Vidyapith — Nivedita Sonkar, Paridhi Chauhan and Anushka Srivastava. Sonkar said the team is now working on a smart collar technology, which will integrate sensors powered by the Internet of Things (IoT). These collars will provide comprehensive health data through GPS tracking, accelerometers (for movement analysis), temperature sensors (to detect fever), heart rate monitors and rumination sensors (to monitor digestion). This AI-driven system holds the potential to transform dairy farming by ensuring early disease detection, reducing mortality, and improving overall animal welfare.

Submit report on alleged illegal mining near Sri City, high court to Tirupati collector
Vijayawada: The high court on Wednesday directed the Tirupati district collector to submit a report on the alleged illegal mining that denuded the forest area near Sri City. The high court observed that the permission given for excavating the canal was general in nature without specific details. One Madras Babu moved the high court with a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) petition, contending that the officials failed to prevent rampant illegal mining taking place under the guise of desilting an irrigation canal. The counsel for the petitioner told the high court that the gravel excavated from the canal was being used to fill up a nearby tank. He said that the forest area was getting damaged and alleged that the Sri City management was behind the illegal mining. The govt pleaders for forest and irrigation submitted that they permitted the IIIT located in Sri City to desilt the canal to prevent waterlogging and flooding of the campus. The mining department submitted that no permission was given for any mining activity. Considering the arguments on both sides, the HC asked the district collector to submit a report on whether any damage was caused, to what extent, and if any illegal mining was done damaging the environment.
