Conflicts & Contradictions
Since the establishment of college in 2012, the college premises, students and staff of Kelvin had witnessed many success, conflicts, contradictions and challenges
Under-19 Events Under-19 Events was the name of open event organized in month of May in year 2013. It was a competition open for all children having age under 19 years. The categories of event were Modeling & Talent, Cricket, football, Athletics, Carom, Chess, LAN Gaming, Quiz Competition, Shot put, Badminton and sketching. The event held on 16,17,18 and 19 May. Although the event was a success in all terms, but due to its vastness and participation of more than 300 children, there were some obvious situations of misunderstanding. One such situation happened during final game of Football. The match was between the Team of KVI FRI and the local area team. Since football is game of passion and excitement, there were some verbal arguments between players of both teams. The matter was getting exaggerated but was wisely controlled by Founder and Chairman of the college. Other games also has some tiny conflicts like losing team in Quiz competition had some disagreement over decision, 100 meters race suffered from issue of conflicting position. These small things are obvious. But the events were success and after 3 days of excitement, the events came to an end with closing ceremony of prize distribution and cultural programs by participants.
Address Problem The college name is listed on Uttarakhand Technical University’s website but shows wrong address. It is because Kelvin initially started on rented building at Indira Nagar so university’s website has that address. The request is already been made for change in address but is still pending due to some internal reasons of the university.
Under-Constructed Buildings Students of academic session 2012-13 were to be shifted to their permanent campus with all required infrastructure & facilities like computer lab, library, classrooms, staff room, internet, canteen. For fresher students of session 2013-14, the campus was sufficient but was lacking a well-organized administrative area. So the construction started in full swing in month of August 2013 and by Feb 2014, the administrative area having offices of Chairman, Founder, Reception, Admission Counselor, etc. was completed.
