Innovation: INSTALL FEST at THAPATHALI CAMPUS
“A single step for a man, a giant leap for mankind”, now, these words are becoming true. Sharing knowledge in community initiated by Microsoft Nepal got lifted up by the community work of MSPs today. The long wait of INSTALL FEST to be initiated ended at last. Thanks to the MSPs of Thapathali Campus, Msp. Ram Hari Regmi and Msp. Ashok Basnet, who dare to initiate this program at their college crossing all the barrier of difficulties that arose with conducting it.
INSTALL FEST is the program in which the students get knowledge about the software of Microsoft, Need of Microsoft Certification and Knowledge of Microsoft platform. In addition, there is also distribution of ELMS account to the students who haven’t activated their elms account yet, by which they can get the free genuine software of Microsoft. With similar concept, we started our program at Thapathali Campus with the great sprit to provide as much information as we can to the students. As it was scheduled, Er. Shailendra Jha, our community lead, started his presentation with the introduction of MSP program and continued about the Value of Microsoft Certification, How to get it and where to get it. Also, he introduced about the Boot Camp and other terms. He also talked to us about the free certification voucher for MCTS for those students learing at brainwork’s which was really interesting. After Er. Shailendra Jha’s presentation, it was time to inaugurate the official site of free student council of thapathali, in which Msp. Ram Hari gave a short speech on why do we need our own portal and then we had the speech of President of student council on new innovation on Information Technology which was impressive.
Arrival of Mr. Allen Bailochan Tuladhar, our Country Manager, brought life to the program and his presentation just rocked the floor. Mr. Allen introduced dreamspark, Bizpark, Student to Business as well as MSDNAA to the students. He also shared information about MSP and asked to fill the form for new MSP enroll. Quite a good number of students were interested about it. To lighten the environment, a lot of humor arose in the middle of presentations and distribution of goodies to the students was really interesting. He also introduced our first country portal msdnnepal.net and technetnepal.net and also the work of Microsoft in community. Also, he broke the news of PTA in Nepal, which is very beneficial to the students as well as professionals. After our country manager, Mr. Gandip Khaling made a presentation on Windows 7 a cutting edge technology of Microsoft, where he got to the development of Microsoft Windows form window 3.0 to the today’s new technology Windows 7. The effects on windows 7 just stunned the students…they were just saying wow!!!!
At the end of session, as usual, Mr. Allen Bailochan Tuladhar was there to solve the queries of the students and the best part was that the students were willing to share their queries, their problems and their thoughts. He also asked the MSPs to share his experience as being a MSP. MSP Kushal Gautam shared his experience of 6 months as becoming a MSP as well as he also shared his experience of TechEd tour to hyderbad. We also had Msp. Archana Maharajan to share her experience to the students which was enthusiastic to the participants. Finally, with sharing of some feedbacks and making some fun, the program ended with lot of praise of participants. In the end, we would like to thank Msp. Ram Hari Regmi and MSP. Ashok Basnet once again to initialize the install fest as this single step that left a mark to other MSP’s to do similar work will surely bring a giant leap of sharing knowledge by Microsoft Community, Nepal.
