Towards a Safer Metaverse:
Safeguarding the Virtual World for Women

Pune, Maharashtra | March 8th and 9th, 2022

Amey Ajgar, a familiar name to readers, and a star-pupil of S.B. Patil Public School has once again proved himself worthy and deservant of merit by presenting the paper: “Key security challenges for women in Metaverse and Solutions to Overcome Those Challenges”. The co-authors for the paper were: Ms. Yogita Ajgar and Ms. Priyanka Bagul, both assistant professors of Electronics and Telecommunication at Modern Education Society’s College of Engineering, Pune.

The paper stressed on how the Metaverse is the future of the internet, and that upcoming decades will be ruled by the Metaverse. Thus before this technology becomes a necessity for people, it is equallyimportant to make it safe for all sections of society including women. Social media makes womenan easy target of cyber bullying, digital frauds and many other issues.

It cannot be denied that the Metaverse is a hundred times more immersive, and this intensifies the need of cyber security for women. In Web 3.0, women have faced critical security issues and it is necessary to improve the Metaverse and make it a safer technology for women to use without the hassle of harassment.

The paper was presented at the International Conference on Gender Equality and Women Empowerment on the occasion of Women’s Day on March 8th and 9th, 2022, and will be published in the upcoming issue of the European Journal on Humanities and Educational Advancements (EJHEA).

Congratulations, Amey for once again having got yourself published; a feat accomplished at such a young age. We wish you the very best, and are certain you have in front of yourself a scintillating future paved.

My Experience at the BSE International Finance Olympiad:
A Narrative by Sai Saketh

Pune, Maharashtra | February 2nd, 2022

Sai Saketh, a student of X-B partook in the BSE International Financial Olympiad performed exceedingly well in the finals and has achieved a joint first position. He was awarded a cash price of Rs. 7,000, along with a merit certificate. As if this was less of glory, hereceived a 100% scholarship to Industry Mentored Course offered by the BSE Institute.

Following is the narrative of the event in his own words:

“I am a student of Financial Market Management (FMM), a course which started last year at S.B. Patil Public School. It is a great and easy course, and I took it for my future. This year there was quiz organised by the Bombay Stock Exchange. Well, all the students in FMM enrolled and gave the first examination for the quiz online.

Although it was hard, some students from our course got selected to the second round. Unlike the first round which was taken on online, the second round was an offline quiz and washeld on the 27th of January, 2022.

Even though I was nervous, I passed the first round of the examination. I did not know what to expect from it as the syllabus was vague and vast, but it turned out to be not as hard as I expected. I was among the top six students from Grade X, and was selected for the finals which were held on the 9th of February.

On the day of finals, I was not confident enough that I will make it till the end, and once the quiz started I started to feel nervous as the competition was fierce. Unlike the semi-finals, the finals had five rounds so maintaining the lead was hard and the scoreboards could change at any given point.

Even though I did not do well at the beginning, nearly lost my composure seeing the difficulty of questions, I held my reserve all the way. The knowledge I gained from studying FMM added to some common sense helped me to win the competition getting tied with another student at 11 points.

I would say that this quiz helped me see that people can go to any length to win and it sort of motivated to win the competition. I want to thank my principal, Dr. Saini ma’am; vice principal, Ms. Padmavati ma’am, my FMM teacher, Ms. Aayesha Syed ma’am; and everyone else for starting the FMM course at our school, and giving me this opportunity to participate in this competition.

Thank you all!”

Dear Sai, we would like to say that we are more than proud of you for working so hard towards this competition. We wish you our heartiest congratulations and the very best for every one of your future endeavours.

At the NIER’s ICET 21:
A Paper on Developing Accurate Irrigation Using Arduino

Pune, Maharashtra | December 18th, 2021

The National Institute of Engineering and Research organised the International Conference on Engineering and Technology or the ICET 21. The conference offered a wide platform to share the most crucial and recent innovations in the arena of engineering whilst also providing a space for both scientific presentations and commercial exhibitions.

Amey Ajgar, a student of Grade IX; and Dr. Neeru Malik, the Innovation Lab in-charge both presented a paper at the conference. The paper, “Automatic Irrigation System Using Arduino for Accurate Irrigation” dealt with understanding how irrigation is one of the most important aspects of agriculture and how important it is to provide exact amount of water to crop. An amount more or less than required could deplete it drastically.

The paper went on to specify that since the process is labour-intensive and manual, it would be productive to make it machine-automated so that the farmer can operate it from any part of the globe using the internet and SMSs. This would not only decrease thefarmer’s efforts but simultaneously increase crop productivity and soil fertility.

We, at S.B. Patil Public School, are immensely proud, and heartily extend our congratulations to both mentor and mentee for together presenting and publishing the paper.
