The logo for 'HY-FI', Hyderabad's free WI-FI project is designed by our alumnus, G. Shashidhar Reddy, Visual Communication, 2009 Batch.
In a step towards developing Hyderabad into smart city, Telangana Government has launched 'HY-FI', Hyderabad city WIFI project, the first ever free internet service in the country. The identity is a combination of uppercase 'H' with 'WIFI' symbol. Uppercase 'H' has been effectively used to metaphorically represent Charminar, noted monument of Hyderabad. The cropped outer circle balances the overall form and illustrates the public places at which these services are available.To attract attention 'red' colour was used for ' 'WIFI' symbol and blue for uppercase 'H' to symbolise fidelity. The typeface Univers LT Std, 45 Light is used for its slenderness and unambiguous dissemination of message. |

On concluding day of the historic 1930 Salt Satyagraha March, Team National Salt Satyagraha Memorial (NSSM) Project announced the launch of its official website: www.dandimemorial.in showcasing the various aspects of the project in great detail. The design team took a completely different approach to website designing considering the nature of the project and its sanctity. All efforts were made to ensure that Memorial website serves its purpose of communicating with its visitors in the most effective manner - providing the most authentic information. The team has maintained the appearance simple with minimal design elements and limited usage of colours - mainly Dusty Brown representing the dusty roads the Marchers had to cover in their historic march in 1930.
Please visit the website: www.dandimemorial.in and email us your comments on the content, missing links and information at info@dandimemorial.in so that we improve the site by making necessary changes. A good website is the one that evolves over a period of time.
Team National Salt Satyagraha Memorial (NSSM) Project thank each one of you for supporting the initiative, endorsed by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India and advised by a High Level Dandi Memorial Committee (HLDMC) with IIT Bombay as a Design Coordination Agency.

| Steered by Prof. Lance Rake - The Bamboo Bike Workshop - allowed 10 students to create all new bamboo bicycles from old metal ones. Centred around our Bamboo Studio, the student's work systematically invaded all our other labs. The metal Studio had them dismantling and cutting up their old frames. While the plastic and metal studios's long tables hosted the final assemblies. The frames were then coloured in our Paint Studio. All this would have been impossible without the help of Prof. Chakravarthy. The Workshop, apart from being a whole lot of fun, allowed the students to explore and manipulate Bamboo's versatility and strength, while getting familiar with the many tools and processes that could be used on it. |
