Achieving the status of being India’s first ISO-9001:2008 certified technical festival has not been cakewalk for Shaastra. The annual need for observing high standards led to the evolution of its structured and organized planning committee. Here we give you a glimpse of what goes inside the making of a great tech-fest.
Broadly speaking, the Shaastra battalion consists of 4 levels of authority.
The Co-Curricular Affairs Secretary (affectionately called Co-Ass) is elected by the student population. Once he comes into office, he selects what is known as the core members team, a select group of elitist creatures who will blueprint Shaastra and oversee many aspects of its running. The Shaastra team takes in 15 cores to account for all the respective departments. After initial decision they invite applications for the positions of coordinators – a tedious process of application and interview, which spans weeks. As soon as roundabout 300 coordinators are selected, they are asked to proceed with work at full force, even before the summer vacations begin. As Shaastra approaches, these coordinators select their respective volunteers, mostly from the new freshers, to do grunt work. With the addition of this final layer, the entire Shaastra team is complete.
Coming under the authority of separate cores, there are various departments which handle Shaastra. Today onwards we take you through each of these departments that make up Shaastra and change the bulb. The bulb is metaphorical and the numbers are empirical. If we think of a better one for any department then we shall still post it so long as we think it’s funny.
The write up above says only the Co-Ass is involved the cores’ selection. I guess the author would want to be more politically correct, coz afaik the cores are selected through a committee meeting headed by Dean students. This is what I gather from the notice put up during core selections. Do I need to quote the notice put up?
Your are right dude, there is a committee that sits to select the core team. Whereas the Co-As, based on the feedback from previous core team, has to eventually suggest people for various posts as he is the one who will be working with them for the entire year and hence the committee generally gives high priority to his suggestions. Exceptions obviously exist but the above article is written from a more generic point of view.
