 Message from President
स्वास्थ्याय समृद्ध्यै सुखाय च शुभकामनााः ।
Wishing you health, prosperity and happiness.

Dear Students,
As the month of November begins, not only there is a nip in the air, but a warmth in our
hearts, spilled over in copious volumes by friends and family, near and dear ones on the
occasions of the magnificent festivals that we have celebrated together in full fervour
and grandeur. The glory of these festivals has been marked by us giving reverence to
Lord Dhanvantari – the god of good health and wellness during the festival of
Dhanteras. Thereafter, amidst the shining lights of Deepawali, we have in all
togetherness, sought the wealth of knowledge, wisdom and materialistic bliss from
Lord Ganesha and Maa Lakshmi.
For the students of CSEET, while this month will be opening you up to the Entrance Test
on the 9th of November, 2024, for those prepping up for the Executive and Professional
Examinations of December, 2024; the time is high enough to begin with your last leg of
preparations.
Friends, irrespective of whichever Examination you take, and howsoever hard-hitting it
may seem, do remember that the task is tough but not impossible. As the legendary
leader, Nelson Mandela said and I quote, “It always seems impossible until it’s done”. All
of us sitting on this side of the waters, those who have sailed through will have our
agreement upon the same fact that you have to put your ships into waters to reach your
destination. It goes without saying that there would be tides too and some hurdles as
well, but if you are armed with the sails of hard work, determination and grit, you will
definitely be in for seeing yourself as a full-fledged professional and making a difference
in the corporate arena without much ado.
Although I am not one too much for Hindi verses, but the moment at hand tempts me to
share this part of a poem that I so deeply treasure and resonate with:
"नन्हीं चहींटह जब दाना लेकर चलतह है ,
चढ़तह दहवार ीं पर, सौ बार फिसलतह है ।
मन का फवश्वास रग ीं में साहस भरता है ,

CSEET COMMUNIQUE (e-bulletin) | NOVEMBER 2024 1

Message from President

चढ़कर फगरना, फगरकर चढ़ना न अखरता है ।

आफ़िर उसकह मेहनत बेकार नहहीं ह तह,
क फिि करने वाल ीं कह कभह हार नहह ीं ह तह ।"
— सूर्यकाीं त फिपाठह "फनराला"
And while you take onto the preparatory mode full on, I would like to remind you that
the registrations have been opened for the Yuvotsav 2025 scheduled to be held in
Ahmedabad on 11-12 January, 2025 and in there for 23 competitions. Share an old
talent or pick on a new hobby – either way you are welcome to join us for the largest
congregation of the students of ICSI.
Having said that, never hesitate to learn new things, for it is learning that assists
massively in accomplishing the goals of life. So always keep treading on the trajectory of
learning, taking one step at a time. For as Lao Tzu says,
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."

 An Overview of Audio-Visual Communication
An Overview of Audio-Visual Communication*

Introduction
Audio-Visual Communication refers to the use of both auditory (sound) and visual
(sight) elements to convey information, ideas, and messages. It is a form of
communication that combines the power of both sound and visuals to enhance the
overall communication experience and improve the effectiveness of the message being
transmitted. At its core, Audio Visual communication is the combination of sound
(audio) and visuals to create a more engaging and impactful experience. Here’s a
breakdown of the key components:
Visual Elements
This encompasses everything you see, from static images like photographs and
presentations to dynamic elements like videos, animations, and live camera feeds.
Visuals can be used to convey information, tell stories, evoke emotions, and capture
attention.
Auditory Elements
This includes all the sounds you hear, from the spoken word and music to sound
effects and ambient noise. Audio can be used to set the mood, create a sense of
immersion, and reinforce the message being conveyed through visuals.
Fundamental elements of Audio-Visual Communication
1. Audio and Video Conferencing Solutions: Real-time communication requires
audio and video conferencing systems incorporating speakers, microphones,
and high-definition cameras. Modern systems’ capabilities, such as virtual
backdrops, auto-framing cameras, and noise cancellation, improve meeting
quality. Advanced systems may also include AI-driven features like automatic
transcriptions and language translation to provide accessibility and inclusion
for a worldwide audience.
2. Digital Displays and Signage: Digital displays and signage are necessary for
distributing information in various contexts, including public and business
places. They show dynamic material, such as ads and real-time statistics, on
high-resolution screens. These displays are flexible tools for communication
since they are simple to update and change and have touchscreen audio visual
technology that increases audience participation.

An Overview of Audio-Visual Communication

3. Video Walls: Video walls combine many screens to create a large, unified
display. These installations are often used in control rooms, broadcast studios,
and public venues to provide expansive and immersive visual experiences.
Video walls can be configured in various sizes and shapes, offering flexibility in
design. Advanced video wall solutions include features like bezel-less screens
for seamless visuals and high brightness and contrast ratios to ensure visibility
even in well-lit environments. Additionally, video walls can integrate real-time
data feeds and interactive capabilities for enhanced functionality.
4. Interactive Displays: Interactive displays combine touch technology with high-
resolution screens to create engaging and interactive user experiences. Used in
educational settings and corporate environments, these displays support
activities such as collaborative brainstorming, interactive presentations, and
digital whiteboarding. Advanced interactive displays come equipped with
multi-touch capabilities, allowing many users to interact. They also support
various input methods, including styluses and gesture recognition, making
them versatile tools for enhancing communication and collaboration.
5. Audio Enhancement Technology: Audio enhancement technology is critical in
ensuring clear and intelligible sound during audio visual communication. This
AV technology includes tools like microphones, speakers, amplifiers, and
soundbars designed to capture and deliver high-quality audio. Advanced audio
enhancement systems feature technologies such as beamforming microphones,
which focus on the speaker’s voice while minimizing background noise, and
acoustic echo cancellation to prevent feedback. These innovations ensure that
every participant can communicate regardless of the environment.
6. AV Control Systems: Control systems are the backbone of integrated AV
communication setups, allowing users to manage various components from a
centralized interface. These audio visual control systems can control lighting,
audio, video, and environmental settings, streamlining the operation of complex
AV systems. Modern control systems often include touch panels, mobile apps,
and voice control options for intuitive management. Advanced features like
automation and scheduling enhance efficiency, enabling seamless transitions
between different presentation modes and environments. These systems
ensure a smooth and effective AV experience by providing comprehensive
control.
Applications of Audio Visual Communication
1. Corporate and Business: In the corporate world, AV (audio-visual)
communications are vital for meetings, presentations, and conferences. Video
conferencing systems enable remote teams to collaborate, reducing the need
for travel and saving cost and time. High-quality presentations and digital
signage are great for internal communications, marketing, and branding.
Ensuring that the message reaches the audience.
2. Education: AV communication has transformed education by providing
interactive and immersive learning experiences. Smart classrooms equipped
with interactive whiteboards, projectors, and sound systems allow dynamic
teaching methods. Online courses and virtual classrooms enable remote
learning, making education accessible to students worldwide. Educational

 An Overview of Audio-Visual Communication
videos and audiovisual media presentations enhance comprehension and
retention of complex subjects.
3. Healthcare: In the healthcare sector, AV communication facilitates telemedicine,
allowing doctors to consult with patients, conduct virtual follow-ups, and
collaborate with other healthcare professionals. Video tutorials, live surgeries,
and interactive webinars enhance training and education for medical staff, and
informative videos and presentations improve patient education.
4. Entertainment and Media: The entertainment industry relies on AV
communication for producing and distributing content. From movie theatres
with high-definition projectors and surround sound systems to live concerts
with video walls and advanced lighting, AV technology enhances the audience
experience. Streaming services and video-on-demand platforms also use AV
communication to deliver content to viewers around the world.
5. Retail: In retail, AV communication is used to create engaging and interactive
customer experiences. Digital signage and video walls can display promotions,
advertisements, and product information, capturing customers’ attention and
influencing purchasing decisions. Interactive displays and kiosks provide
customers with more information and a personalized shopping experience.
6. Government and Public Services: Government agencies and public services use
AV communication for a variety of purposes, including public announcements,
training, and emergency response coordination. Digital signage can display
important information in public spaces, while video conferencing allows for
efficient communication between different departments and locations. AV
technology also supports virtual town hall meetings and public forums,
enhancing citizen engagement.
7. Hospitality and Tourism: In the hospitality and tourism industry, AV
communication enhances the guest experience through digital signage,
interactive displays, and entertainment systems in hotels and resorts. Virtual
tours and promotional videos attract visitors and provide them with valuable
information about destinations. Conference facilities equipped with audio video
technology enable seamless events and meetings for business travellers.
Advantages of Audio-Visual Communication
1. Enhanced Engagement: By stimulating both sight and sound, AV communication
captures attention and keeps audiences engaged. This is especially important in
today’s world of information overload, where people are constantly bombarded
with stimuli.
2. Improved Clarity and Understanding: Visuals can help to explain complex
concepts more easily, while audio can reinforce key points and add emotional
impact. This can lead to better comprehension and retention of information.
3. Increased Memorability: Immersive AV experiences are more likely to be
remembered than traditional presentations. This is because they create a
stronger emotional connection with the audience.

4. Versatility and Scalability: AV communication can be used for a wide range of

applications, from small meetings to large-scale events. The technology can also
be scaled up or down to fit the specific needs of each project.

Insurance Coverage
All interns will be covered under the government’s insurance schemes: Pradhan Mantri
Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana, with the premium
paid by the government. Partner companies may also offer additional accidental
insurance coverage.
PM Internship Portal
The Prime Minister’s Internship Scheme is implemented through a centralized online
portal. This portal manages the entire internship lifecycle, providing a dedicated
dashboard for partner companies to post internship opportunities. Each posting
includes details such as location, nature of the internship, minimum educational
qualifications, and available facilities. Eligible candidates must register on the portal,
where a resume will be generated based on their information. They can browse and
apply for up to five internships, selecting based on preferences like location, sector,
functional role, and qualifications. The portal facilitates a shortlisting process that
considers candidates’ preferences alongside company requirements, with an emphasis
on promoting diversity and social inclusivity. It prioritizes representation from
Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, and Persons with
Disabilities. For each internship, approximately two to three times the number of offers
will be shortlisted and sent to the company for selection. Companies can then choose
candidates based on their own criteria and processes. Once an internship offer is
extended, candidates can accept the offer through the portal, ensuring a streamlined and
efficient internship application experience.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the internship scheme presents a valuable opportunity for youth to gain
real-world experience while benefiting from financial support and comprehensive
training. By partnering with leading companies across diverse sectors, the initiative
aims to enhance employability and skills among participants. With clear eligibility
criteria and structured support through Direct Benefit Transfers, this program not only
fosters professional growth but also encourages active participation from businesses
committed to corporate social responsibility. The Launch of the portal stands as a
significant step towards empowering the next generation of professionals in India.

• PM-Vidyalaxmi scheme
The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has approved PM
Vidyalaxmi, a new Central Sector scheme that seeks to provide financial support to
meritorious students so that financial constraints do not prevent anyone from pursuing
higher studies. PM Vidyalaxmi is another key initiative stemming out of the National
Education Policy, 2020, which had recommended that financial assistance should be
made available to meritorious students through various measures in both public and
private HEIs. Under the PM Vidyalaxmi scheme, any student who gets admission in
quality Higher Education Institution (QHEIs) will be eligible to get collateral free,
guarantor free loan from banks and financial institutions to cover full amount of tuition
fees and other expenses related to the course. The scheme will be administered through a
simple, transparent and student-friendly system that will be inter-operable and entirely
digital.
The scheme will be applicable to the top quality higher educational institutions of the
nation, as determined by the NIRF rankings - including all HEIs, government and private,
that are ranked within the top 100 in NIRF in overall, category-specific and domain
specific rankings; state government HEIs ranked in 101-200 in NIRF and all central
government governed institutions. This list will be updated every year using the latest
NIRF ranking, and to begin starts with 860 qualifying QHEIs, covering more than 22 lakh
students to be able to potentially avail benefits of PM-Vidyalaxmi; if they so desire.

and not eligible for benefits under any other government scholarship or interest
subvention schemes, 3 percent interest subvention for loan up to ₹ 10 lakhs will also be
provided during moratorium period. The interest subvention support will be given to
one lakh students every year. Preference will be given to students who are from
government institutions and have opted for technical/ professional courses. An outlay of
₹ 3,600 Crore has been made during 2024-25 to 2030-31, and 7 lakh fresh students are
expected to get the benefit of this interest subvention during the period.
