IEEE activities in Kerala have reached its 33rd year. Initiated on 17 February 1975 as a subsection under the then India section, Kerala subsection became part of the Bangalore Section in 1976 upon formation of India Council. Kerala became a full Section in 1983. The section has been very active since its formation. It has been holding a national or international seminar every year since 1984. As of January 2008, Kerala Section has around 1500 members including student members. The section has a Computer Society Chapter, a Power engineering Society Chapter, and a joint Chapter on Industry Applications & Industrial Electronics Societies and a Communication Society Chapter. Two affinity groups called IEEE GOLD and IEEE Women in Engineering are running under this section.

LINK


LINK (Local Integrated Network of IEEE Students) is an innovative concept that originated in IEEE Kerala Section in India, aimed at networking student branches in an effective way, thereby increasing the value in IEEE Student membership. Since its inception LINK has achieved tremendous results, causing an exponential increase in student branches and student activities in IEEE Kerala Section over the past 5 years. The model of link was adopted by IEEE Region 10 as R10 GINI (Global Integrated Network of IEEE Students).

IEEE LINK: Vision

LINK shall serve as a body uniting different student branches, and further help in the sustainability of each student branches, thus adding value to IEEE student membership.

 

IEEE LINK: Mission

Act as a conjunctive body, ensemble the student Branches coming under its geographical span. Spread the value of IEEE throughout its geographical span.


Today LINK serves as a platform for students to interact and unify, and has generated several productive programs. The five-fold increase in the student membership of IEEE Kerala Section in a span of 5 years, speak volumes of the success of LINK. Success of LINK prompted R10 to introduce GINI (Global Integrated Network of IEEE) - an adaptation of LINK for R10 student branches. With the growth of LINK, Hubs consisting of 2 or 3 districts were introduced in the LINK structure. And our college comes under Hub 1 which includes 14 student branches.
