About Event

TEKZONE ...Make IT Happen Smt. K. G. Shah Dept. Of Computer Applications under Dr. B.M.N. College, Matunga had proudly launched Tekzone - an Intercollegiate Tech Fest in the year 2007 and it has been a huge success since its inception. What makes the management and teaching faculty proud is the fact that it is completely a students’ endeavour, right from designing the posters and pamphlets, acquiring sponsorship to conceiving and planning the events - though under the able guidance of the teachers. This is an exclusive IT fest organized BY the students and FOR the students. It aims to integrate students from different colleges across Mumbai pursuing a career in IT and the computer field. The fest provides students a platform to interact, exchange ideas and develop a competitive spirit by participating in various events. Influential personalities are invited as judges for the events. Tekzone is organized on a large scale and the students’ efforts for managing the entire event surely calls for a special mention. Three cheers for Tekzone!!! Theme :Eve’s World... Adam’s Perception How an individual is perceived has much to do with how others respond to them and ultimately how they are treated. Throughout history, varying interpretations of the biblical account of Adam and Eve have led to certain perceptions that have had enormous impact on women’s lives. For centuries, interpretations of Eve’s actions led in part to perceptions of women as weak, emotional, easily deceived and easily enticed. In the Biblical account the serpent "deceives" Eve and she partakes of the the fruit that "the Lord God commanded...thou shalt not eat". Woman’s supposed inclination to disobedience led God to place women under the control of men who were, by interpretation, strong, reasonable, rational and fitted to rule. Woman’s place was to inhabit the private or domestic sphere while men’s place was the public world of warfare, business and commerce. No surprise that by the 19th century, women were educated primarily in domestic tasks, denied higher education, forbidden entry into professions and prohibited political office and the vote. Marriage was perceived as hierarchical with women inferior and subservient to men. If a woman earned a wage, it was legally her husband’s. Some physical violence against women was legal. With few exceptions money or property a woman brought into marriage belonged to the husband. If a woman left a marriage, any assets and the children stayed with the husband. Women were considered disreputable if they spoke in public and a sexual double standard existed. Any hint of impropriety on a woman’s part was condemned and she became a social outcast. In the 19th century, women sought to change perceptions.
