Hyderabad: Students of Fullstack Academy gain cutting edge technology for bright careers in software industry

Business & Economy, Education, SCHOLARSHIPS, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hyderabad, TELANGANA :

Students of Fullstack Academy during a class.

Employment opportunities have dipped down drastically but students of Fullstack Academy have been placed in esteemed companies with jobs fetching as high as RS.7 lac per annum.

Fullstack Academy is an institute that imparts the right courses in software technology that are always in demand in the software industry.

In the words of the founder of Fullstack Academy Md Aijaz, “There is a huge gap between the IT industry and the academia. There are a lot of opportunities to build successful careers but the newly graduated youth lacked the necessary skills. We wanted to fill that gap, hence we started our academy.”

Md Aijaz , the founder of Fullstack Academy.

“Hardly 1% of the youth were employed in the top companies like cognizant, Microsoft, Mindtree, Infosys, HCL, Accenture, Skuad, TATA consultancy services and so on, explained Aijaz Ahmed, while talking to Muslim Mirror “More so in Hyderabad despite the fact that there are so many top multi nationals here. Some even have their Head Office in Hyderabad. But still we could see that there were no takers in our own city”, he added.

Abu Bakar , co-founder of Fullstack Academy, also owns a software company.

So, in order to ensure that the youth from the Muslim community are not left out, Mohammad Aijaz and Abu Bakar  Aijaz started the Fullstack Academy.

The academy has been founded in the year 2019 by industry veterans who have more than 25 years of experience in Microsoft and Tech Mahindra. They wanted to ensure that the youth of the community are not lagging behind in terms of skills required in communication, spoken English, software skills. Students coming out of college lack the qualification or skills needed to crack the type of jobs that are in demand and land up in mediocre jobs.

But unfortunately within months of initiating this dream venture, the lockdown was announced. But instead of being disheartened by this, the duo went ahead with their plan and announced online courses. Interested youth began enrolling for the online classes and the academy functioned smoothly.

Today they have gone offline and admissions are on filling every batch. So far they have trained 800 Youth and placed 55% in top companies. Some have gone abroad to pursue higher studies armed with the courses from FSA with which they get good paying jobs while they continue their studies.

Most of the courses students going abroad do courses in programming and development area. These courses are in demand globally.

“Web application is the latest technology and in high demand with every company wanting to develop web applications. Fullstack Academy specializes in mobile app technology the resource of which is not commonly available” explained Mohammed Aijaz.

Another salient feature of this academy is that the trainers are working professionals who come and demonstrate the real time scenarios. This helps the students while applying for jobs. Every course offered by the academy has different professionals already employed in top positions in world class companies.

The courses offered by the Full Stack Academy that are the need of the present times for software industries can be broadly categorized are programming, MERN, cloud computing, Data science – predictive business analytics, Android App development, Amazon web services, UI/UX designing courses, Selenium Automation testing and many more.

Khaja Wasiq Mohiuddin, a student who passed out in December 2021 shared that he has been employed in Skuad with a salary of 7 lacs per annum, the highest so far among the students placed in jobs. “I took the training in MERN from Full Stack Academy and I had not even completed the course when I was interviewed and was selected by Skuad. After completion I joined them as developer. I received full support from the trainers and today I have made my parents happy with my achievement” said Khaja.

The students are not taught just the professional courses, Aijaz and Abu Bakar ensure that they are groomed for interviews and also learn to communicate in English which is another weak area of most of the students from the community.

Another student Ayesha Moiz who has been employed as Assistant system engineer at Infosys said, “ I received support from Fullstack academy not only when I was doing the course but even now when I am employed. I am in a probation period here and whenever I am stuck with some programming, I call up my Aijaz sir and seek his support to trouble shoot the problem. I am very happy with the training and assistance in job placement and I highly recommend Fullstack Academy, she told Muslim Mirror.

The students from economically poor backgrounds are provided with an opportunity to apply for scholarship from IMRC (Indian Muslim Relief and charities). The Full Stack Academy (FSA) facilitates a written exam for the applicants to qualify for scholarship from IMRC. After the written tests there is an interview after which qualifying students are assisted with scholarship wherein they pay just 25% of the fees while the IMRC pays 75% of the fees.

Students enroll here not just from Hyderabad but also from different states of India.

“Every time one of our students gets a placement in a coveted company, it is like we have climbed one notch of the high ladder of success. The success of our students is like our own success, it is as if we have bagged the job. Each success story fills our hearts with happiness and makes us want to better ourselves” shared Md Aijaz.

Hyderabad NGO to Set Up Four Oxygen Generation Plants

Hyderabad, TELANGANA :

The first plant is expected to be up and running in Hyderabad next month,” Prof Amirullah Khan, coordinator of Sahayata Trust informed. — IANS

The NGO is also receiving 400 high quality oxygen concentrators from different charities in the United Kingdom and the United States which is described as the world’s largest donation of oxygen concentrators.

Hyderabad :

Sahayata Trust, a Hyderabad-based NGO, plans to set up four medical oxygen generation plants to cater to the requirements of hospitals treating Covid patients.

Each plant will have a capacity of 4,500 litres per day and will come up at a cost of Rs 1 crore each. Two plants will come up in Hyderabad and one in Gujarat. The NGO is yet to decide on the location for the fourth plant.

“The first plant is expected to be up and running in Hyderabad next month,” Prof Amirullah Khan, coordinator of Sahayata Trust, told IANS on Monday.

The development economist said the NGO would be importing the plants. He said these plants would meet the requirements of various hospitals treating Covid or other critically ill patients.

He pointed out that the NGO is also receiving 400 high quality oxygen concentrators from different charities in the United Kingdom and the United States. He described it as the world’s largest donation of oxygen concentrators.

The devices will be allocated on a per-need basis to different NGOs across Hyderabad, Lucknow, Allahabad, Delhi, Ranchi, Bhopal and other cities. — IANS

The first consignment comprising 170 devices arrived in Hyderabad from the UK by a special flight of Qatar Airways on Friday. The second consignment of 270 concentrators is scheduled to arrive next week.

Sahayata Trust has started distributing concentrators to different healthcare organisations in Telangana and other states. “The relief effort will add oxygen to the efforts of NGOs scrambling to procure oxygen to save as many lives as they can,” said Sahayata Trust CEO Syed Aneesuddin.

The devices will be allocated on a per-need basis to different NGOs across Hyderabad, Lucknow, Allahabad, Delhi, Ranchi, Bhopal and other cities. The organisation included Access Foundation, Safa Baitul Maal and SDIF.

Different NGOS across international borders have joined hands for the noble cause at a time when several lives are being lost across India due to shortage of oxygen cylinders and oxygen concentrators during the second wave of Covid-19.

Donation of concentrators is a meticulously coordinated relief effort by UK-based charities managed by the Indian diaspora including Maahir Charity, Deccan Medical College Alumni Association, and Medical Aid in coordination with the US-based Indian Muslim Relief & Charities (IMRC), the parent body of Sahayata Trust.

Syed Aneesuddin thanked Hyderabad Member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi who played an important role in helping the consignment reach India within a short span of time.

“These are high quality oxygen concentrators with dual outflow of oxygen enabling two patients to use the same machine at a time. We are training people to use the device using the device manuals received from England. This is a daunting task to coordinate the allocation as well as train and equip the personnel to handle the device in a very short time, especially since every passing minute increases danger of loss of life for people struggling to find oxygen support,” said Amirullah Khan.

India needs about one lakh oxygen concentrators. “The government has been able to import only 1000 from the USA, which means there is a deficit of 99%. In such savaging times, the import of 400 units is a small but significant effort in saving more lives”, said former civil servant Prof Amirullah Khan.

He thanked the state and central governments for waiving the import duty on the equipment. He also thanked Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar for taking up the matter on an urgent basis and Commissioner Commercial Taxes Neetu Prasad who went out of the way working late at night to grant ‘real-time approval’. Due to her personal interest in expediting the process, the consignment was ready for pickup within three hours after arrival. — IANS

Kozhikode, KERALA :

MonHajiMPOs23dec2017

Kerala woke up today to hear of the sad demise of one of its most respected humanitarians, Mohammed Mon Haji. Haji, who was well known across the state and other parts of the country for his commitment to take care of orphans, breathed his last at the Christian Medical College in Vellore, Tamil Nadu. He had been undergoing treatment for the past few days after he suffered renal disease. He was 75 years old.

Known for his dedication and boldness in ensuring rights for minorities and working for orphans, Haji was active in running the orphanage based in Mukkam, “He was bold and unflinching when it came to ensuring a better life for orphans. He got engaged in battles for rights of minorities. Whenever I called him, I heard Haji saying he was either in Delhi or Lucknow or Thiruvananthapuram, where he was visiting for community matters. For sure, his demise marks the demise of a generation, which dedicated to the community,” said Mohammed Ali Shihab an IAS officer who is now serving as Kiphire district collector in Nagaland. Shihab was brought up by Mukkam orphanage. Like him, hundreds of orphans here will miss their beloved Haji.

“He was not just a functionary of the orphanage. He was a parent, who accompanied orphanage inmates when they went to distant places for higher studies. He signed for them in columns of parents,” Shihab said.

After the demise of his elder brother Moideen Koya Haji, Mohammed Mon Haji selected Mukkam orphanage as his working filed. Since 1983, Haji was active in various roles. He was vice president of the orphanage. After completing his graduation, Haji pursued his studies in Islamic Studies at Baqiyat Salihath Arabic College in Vellore.

“Haji passed away at the same place where he spent years in taking religious education,” one of his friends Salam Faizy Mukkam said in a note.

A state executive member of IUML, Haji was elected as the member of Kozhikode district panchayat and discharged his duty well in developing Mukkam into a middle town after he was elected as panchayat president.

“The orator could draw an audience and keep better relations even with his political opponents. He played a crucial role in the growth of IUML in Kozhikode district,” commemorated IUML leader C P Cheriya Mohammed.

Apart from IUML, he also worked for feeder organisations of Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulema.

Haji, according to Shihab, will be remembered for his charity activities. He was careful in ensuring financial assistance of global agencies for students and underprivileged persons in Mukkam and its surrounding areas.

“He was a nodal agency of all charity initiatives like Red Crescent and Indian Muslim Relief and Charities(IMRC),” he said.

IMRC distributed food kits for 1,000 underprivileged families here in Ramadan in 2017 while food kits were distributed to 600 families in 2015 and 2016. Haji was leading all these activities. Besides, he organised Iftar parties at mosques in Mukkam, Chennamangaloor, Manassery and Pathanapuram after receiving fund from IMRC.

In addition to inmates at Mukkam orphanage, Haji extended a helping hand for more than 1,000 families at Mukkam, Koodaranji, Kodiyathur, Pathanapuram, Karassery, Nellikkapparamba, Malamkunnu, Aanayamkunnu, Chathoth, Koolimadu and Chennamangaloor.

“We lost a great personality, a person with so much passion for the orphans. They were like his children.This is a great loss to our community. Last year he participated in the graduation ceremony as a couple of his students’ completed engineering from Jahangirabad Institute of Technology,” said IMRC president Maqsood Quadri.
