The standard way is to keep sensor data inside IoT platforms like AWS, Google, and Microsoft Azure cloud. We must pay to keep or exchange the data among different systems. Here, we provide a different approach to keep our research data inside the cloud. We created a communication channel using the C# application and WordPress website database over REST API, which is now widespread. Our data format is JSON, which is the industry standard. Upload data to the website database using an HTTP client from the C# application. The uploaded data can be accessible from anywhere among the various systems. Our website runs round the clock, so our data is always available. This procedure might be cheaper than the available solution due to the use of our existing website database. Through the practical approach, we demonstrate how to do that. This procedure can be helpful for the researcher trying to keep their research data at a cheap cost inside the cloud. The complete project code is available to download, and the value addition to this work. Design/Methodology/Approach: We first install “Local” software inside our system. On that, we installed a WordPress website. Then, we create a custom route for our experiment to differentiate from existing website content inside the server using PHP. Then, we added our module, which provides CURD operation. This module receives JSON-structured content, which is converted by the WordPress engine. The module parses the command and processes it accordingly. The response is returned to the client application. We created a C# application with a couple of GUI elements to interact with the user. We added a couple of modules using the Nuget package manager for REST API. After the application opens, the first action is to connect with the database. Once the database is available, CRUD operation can be executed. Findings/Result: We tested the entire project using practical deployment. The performance is pretty good. A small quantity of network latency is present in our observation. The content updation time depends on website bandwidth, network traffic, the system’s specification, and the number of running applications. Originality/Value: Over the net, there is some practical documentation on C# REST API on the WordPress Website. Sometimes, researchers working on WordPress websites want to use database operation over REST API. Here, we demonstrate this through practical examples. So, it is a slightly different approach for quickly understanding the communication flow.

With the overall competition, retaining and attracting good talent has become a challenge. Employee engagement is key to the retention of talent in an organization. During the last decade, several studies related to talent management have been conducted, but mostly in developed countries and in a corporate context. Even within the employee engagement framework, very little has been done on teaching faculty and staff in colleges and universities. Methodology: There is a strong need to study employee/ faculty engagement in the education sector. The literature study on employee engagement shows very little study on faculty engagement and motivation. Faculty engagement and motivation are possible if organizations, i.e., colleges and institutes provide the teachers with a passion for work and an engaging ambience which their performances and give them a continuous satisfying work experience. Result/Analysis: The research titled, “A Study of Employee Engagement in the Higher Education Institutions”, is carried out as there is an immense need to study faculty engagement in the education sector. The previous studies on employee engagement have very little emphasis on faculty engagement and motivation. The study is a descriptive study and is based on primary data. Primary data from 72 teachers/ faculty members were collected from colleges and institutes of higher education across India. A structured questionnaire was adopted for collecting primary data through the questionnaire method and in few cases, wherever possible through the interview method, to collect in-depth information about the education system. Originality/Value: This paper discusses a very important observation of the research study, i.e., the reason for the change in the engagement pattern of faculty members/teachers in the HEI. What has been discussed and seen during the research interview is that the faculty has expressed the support of the senior management and academic leaders in their meaningful contribution.
