The CMS Degree College at
Kanpur Road Branch has a fully functional
student’s QC Academy affiliated to QCI International,
USA which regularly conducts QC Training Programmes,
integrated with TQE (Total
Quality In Education) at National
and International Levels. Dr. (Mrs) Vineeta
Kamran & Mr. P.C. Bihari , the chief resource
persons at the Academy have been regularly
conducting Seminars for Directors and Principals
for various schools in Sri Lanka, Mauritius,
and Bangladesh besides various schools in
India, under the ongoing Training modules
of the QC Academy. The amazing effectiveness
and success of QCs’ in educational institutions
led to the formation of such QCs in China,
Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka,
Malaysia and other countries.
This culminated in the Organisation
of the first International Convention of Students’
Quality Control
Circles (ICSQCC) by CMS in 1997.
To inculcate interest among the students the
organisers of ICSQCC’97 introduced many streams
like Paper Presentation, Circle Presentation,
Collage, Debate, Poster and Slogan Making,
Skit Presentation and Quality Quiz. The students,
delegates participated in each stream with
great enthusiasm and vigour.
The 2nd ICSQCC was again
held at CMS in 1999 and proved to be a landmark
in the history of QCC movement. It strongly
underlined the need to empower the students
so that they could find solutions to their
problems, develop analytical skills and channelise
their creative potentials in order to meet
the challenges of the new millennium.
After the success of the
2nd ICSQCC 99, Mauritius took the host flag
for organising the 3rd ICSQCC under the umbrella
of the International Productivity Council
(IPC) and City Montessori School, Lucknow,
India. The Convenor of this convention was
world renowned quality expert ,Mr.
Andre Lim. The event provided an
excellent opportunity to meet each other for
exchanging experiences and ideas and establishing
communication links for mutual benefit in
bringing about quality improvement.
Incidentally, the Ministry
of Education has made SQCs’ compulsory in
all government aided schools in Mauritius.
During the year 2001, the fourth ICSQCC was
organised by CMS
with the participation of 2500 delegates representing
14 countries from all around
the world. The Fifth International Convention
On Students’ Quality Control Circles, was
organised by Scott County Schools at Kentucky,
USA, during June, 2002 with CMS as a supporting
organisation. The Mayor of Georgetown, USA,
Mr. Everette Varney honoured the founder manager
of CMS, Mr. Jagdish Gandhi by presenting him
with the "Key
to the City of Georgetown",
during the 5th International Convention On
Students’ Quality Control Circles and acknowledged
him as a "true visionary and that his
light has helped many children and educators
to see the way for continuous improvement".
The convention was indeed the outcome of the
meticulous planning and the dedicated efforts
of team which must have spent several months
and days to make it a grand success. It was
an extremely rewarding and enriching experience
for all the participants.
A Six Member delegation is
all set to participate at the World Quality
Congress (Q2002) at Harrogate, U.K. headed
by Dr. (Mrs)
Vineeta Kamran. CMS shall
also be representing at the National Convention
On Quality Circles at Maruitius, during Sept.
2002, with a 15 member delegation headed by
Mr. Jagdish Gandhi.
Also in the calender of events,
the sixth ICSQCC is slated from 3rd to 6th
of December to be organised by CMS. This is
going to draw even a much larger participation
from all around the globe.
