GeM: Online portal for Govt Procurement
by Muruli N Tarikere 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Recently we had One day Workshop of on GeM at the Central University of Himachal Pradesh. GeM is a short form of one stop Government e-Market Place hosted by DGS&D where common user goods and services can be procured. GeM is a dynamic, self-sustaining and user-friendly portal for making procurement by Government officers. Based on recommendations of Group of Secretaries made to Hon’ble Prime Minister, the Government has created a one stop Government e-marketplace (GeM) to facilitate online procurement of common use Goods & Services required by various Government Departments / Organizations / PSUs. GeM aims to enhance transparency, efficiency, and speed in public procurement. It provides the tools of e-bidding, reverse e-auction and demand aggregation to facilitate the government users achieve the best value for their money. The purchases through GeM by Government users have been authorized and made mandatory by Ministry of Finance by adding a new Rule No. 149 in the General Financial Rules, 2017. Books procurement through GeM: As per my discussions with one of the key person of the GeM, Books Vendors and Publishers also can register themselves as Vendors. Currently, no Book Vendors or Publishers have registered in the GeM. We have been informing and suggesting all the vendors including Books vendors to register in the GeM, as we may procure books only through GeM in future. GeM eliminates human interface in vendor registration, order placement, and payment processing, to a great extent. Being an open platform, GeM offers no entry barriers to bonafide suppliers who wish to do business with the Government. To know more about Government e-Market Place, visit - https://gem.gov.in/aboutus Regards Muruli N.

Student's Seminar-2: MUSIC INFORMATION RETRIEVAL: AN OVERVIEW
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE post Bangalore 560059 SEMINAR-2 MUSIC INFORMATION RETRIEVAL: AN OVERVIEW Abstract Music is not only for entertainment and pleasure but has been used for a wide range of purposes due to its social and physiological effects. At the beginning of 21st century, due to permeation of internet in daily life, the world is facing ever increasing growth of digitised music. Some of the music platforms having a collection of more than 30 million tracks, has posed a major challenge in searching, retrieving and organising the music contents. Traditionally, Music Information Retrieval (MIR) was based on the metadata of music but because of the emergence of a huge number of digital music, it is not satisfactory now. Therefore a new MIR system i.e., Content Based Music Information Retrieval is gaining the popularity. MIR involves experts of various domains like Musicology, Engineering, Computer Science, Libraries and Psychology which makes it a true interdisciplinary domain. In this seminar, we will discuss various MIR Systems, technologies used, the approaches and the challenges to music information retrieval. We will also discuss the role of libraries in MIR. Speaker: Amit Tiwari Date: 31-08-2017 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC class room (G-21) ISI Bangalore All are cordially invited. Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
