Private candidates await results SAS NAGAR, July 17 Private candidates who appeared in the class XII (humanities stream) examination of the Punjab School Education Board, returned empty-handed from the board office here today when they were told that their result gazette would be available on July 22. Earlier the gazette was to be made available today. The controller of Examination of the board said the results of private candidates had been delayed due to a large number of result late award (RLA) cases. Efforts were being made to declare the RL cases of regular candidates and of the vocational stream by July 22. Unaware of the decision of the board, a number of anxious students from places like Amritsar, Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur and Bathinda could be seen making enquiries at the enquiry counter in the board office. A public notice about the delay in the declaration of results had been pasted at the enquiry counter. A candidate from Jalandhar, Baljinder Singh, said: "I have come after reading in the newspaper that the gazette would be available today. It would hamper my admission prospects in higher classes." As per the figures made available by the board, as many as 75,427 private candidates had appeared in the examination. Of them 59,650 appeared in full subjects and 13,327 candidates were in the compartment category. Along with the private candidates the results of the students of the vocational stream and those appearing in the additional subject category have also been delayed. Meanwhile, in the result gazette of the regular candidates of the humanities stream, made available to the public this afternoon, a number of cases of RLA have come to light. The results of students of Government Girls Senior Secondary School, Bhikhi (Mansa), Government Senior secondary School, Sardulgarh (Mansa), Government Senior Secondary School, Singhwala, Government Senior Secondary School, Kulrain, and BB Government Senior Secondary School, Nangal Kalan, have been shown as RLA. The results of a number of students of BB Government Senior Secondary School, Dhaphre Bhai Ke, Government Senior Secondary School, Bhudhlada, and Government Senior Secondary School, Bhaini Bagga, have also been shown as RLA. Similarly but comparatively lesser number of cases in Ferozepore, Fatehgarh, Amritsar, Hoshiarpur and Phagwara has also come to light. The roll No 32170 of a candidate of the GDSS School, Abhir (Ferozepore) is missing in the result gazette. Meanwhile, students of Government Senior School, Mullapur, complained that in the gazette released by the board it had been printed humanities/vocational, whereas it carried the results of the humanities stream only. |

Entrance tests, BA, B.Sc (hon) results out CHANDIGARH The result gazette is available for consultation at the new enquiry building of the university and at telephone numbers 0172-534818 and 784869 (for BA and B.Sc (Honours) examinations) and 0172-783969 and 534829 (for the LLM, MBA and MMC courses). Meanwhile, as today was also the last date for submitting admission forms in various departments, students were a harassed lot because the results were declared in the evening when most of the departments were closed. Students had no idea where to know the results from. It was impossible for them to know their results and submit the forms within a short time.
However, Prof Ashok Sahni, DUI, said he had written to the VC for the extension of the last date for submitting admission forms, but had not received any reply. |

Function marks new academic session at PGI CHANDIGARH He pointed out that a scientist could no longer work in isolation and had to seek the help of specialists from other related branches to do a worthwhile research. Various research institutions and scientists should work together to solve major scientific problems and have a global impact, he added. There was need of interconnectivity between different branches of science for better research projects. He called upon doctors to get rid of self-imposed barriers as the day was not far when doctors would be accompanied by scientists and medical persons from other fields. He said the next 25 years would be spent in unravelling the mysteries of genome mapping. The quantum of information was vast and we needed new tools to make any sense of this information, he pointed out. Gene therapy was important though it had a doubtful start in Pennsylvania, he added. Professor Mehta called upon expending support to research in basic sciences, which had lately suffered all over the world. He emphasised that doctors and scientists posted in institutes of excellence like PGI and AIIMS should work in collaboration to promote research in basic sciences. During the course of his speech, he noted that the Indian Institute of Sciences came up with a vision of Jamshedji Tata in 1898. Highlighting the need for investment in science and technology, he expressed hope that the democratic polity would learn from the vision of Jamshedji Tata and provide much-needed financial and administrative support for undertaking research activities. He said science was one area where research was not undertaken for monetary gains. Congratulating new entrants for making it to PGI for pursuing higher courses of study, he called upon them to derive maximum benefits during their tenure. He said the profession of doctors was a noble one and they should always be committed to their goal. Earlier, Dr
S.K. Sharma, Director, PGI, extended a warm welcome to the new batch of residents, research scholars and students in other disciplines. He attributed the development of PGI as an island of excellence in medical education and research to the hard work, sincerity and devotion on the part of its present and past faculty, resident doctors, nursing and technical staff and other members of the institute. He also welcomed Professor
Mehta, who would focus on cherished goals, past traditions, present status and future plans. Addressing the new entrants, he said the next three years would be full of hard-work, sleepless nights and struggle. These three years would perhaps be the most eventful and productive period of their life and would leave a stamp of excellence. He emphasised various aspects of work culture and traditions of punctuality, regularity and dedication to patient care, research and training. He called upon them to become a part of this tradition and ethos and contribute to its growth. Dr Sharma highlighted academic and other activities of the PGI during the year. Later, Dr
S.M. Bose, Head of Department of Surgery and Emergency Services, proposed the vote of thanks. He thanked former directors, dean, professors and colleagues for being a source of inspiration for them. Todays function assumed importance as it was the first academic year of the new millennium, he added. |

The Governor said that he had made certain changes in the project and a multipurpose hall having capacity of 400 persons is being constructed now. Outdoor theatre will have some additional changing rooms. He said that it was his desire that Kalagram should become showpiece for all the zones. The Governor said the Kalagram project was facing a shortfall of Rs 90 lakh and help was being sought from Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, J&K and Rajasthan to ensure that the progress of this project did not suffer. The Governor also underlined the need for taking concerted measures to educate the present generation regarding rich cultural heritage of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, J&K and Rajasthan. General Jacob said that this region is proud to be part of oldest civilisation and valuable artefacts of Harappan and Kushan times lie buried here. He said that concerted efforts are needed to educate our younger generations regarding our cultural roots. He added that culture and art of every form should be encouraged and old folk arts must be encouraged. The Governor said that the North Zone Cultural Centre should organise seminars and workshops on different forms of art. The programme committee should include experts on various arts so that quality of programmes being performed by NZCC could be monitored regularly. Prominent among those who attended the meeting included Mr Naresh Gulati, Commissioner Cultural Affairs, Haryana, Mr S.C. Aggarwal, Secretary to Governor, Punjab. |
