Over 1 cr in PU’s Youth
Welfare Centre’s savings CHANDIGARH The situation is interesting, particularly before the new financial year, when the university administration works to ensure government funds for salaries and other projects. With a new financial year around the corner, the work of totalling estimates and parleys with the government gains momentum. The savings in the Students Holiday Home Fund account totals Rs 92,22,062 lakh. Dr Iqbal Singh Dhillon, director, Youth Welfare, confirms the information about savings. The closing balance in hand on March 31, 2000, for savings in the holiday home fund is Rs 19,81,301, amount in the fixed deposit is Rs 40,51,761, income in the fixed deposits on maturity (in June 2001) is Rs 17,89,000 and expected savings during 2000-2001 are Rs 14,00,000.

The best among these gets a university award. He adds that the decrease in the number of students interested in youth activities is disturbing. The academic scenario had changes priorities. Career conscious students avoid struggle on the field and like to spend their time on books or computers. |

Registrar seeks details on PU
funds CHANDIGARH A letter of the Registrar was forwarded yesterday. It said, “I have been desired by the committee constituted by the Vice-Chancellor for looking into allegation of misappropriation and improper use of funds under the chairmanship of Mr
R.S. Verma, a former Chief Secretary of Haryana, to request you to furnish additional information, if any.” Senior Fellows showed difference of opinion on the issue, with some questioning the spirit of the letter. A Fellow said, “The exercise is to save some heads. A Fellow has made allegations on the floor of the House, which the university should study and verify. For example, there has been talk on expenditure from the fund for higher education. A casual perusal of records can tell that questions remain unanswered about the spirit and intent behind the fund.” The Registrar, when contacted, said the circular was self-explanatory and there was no intention of having affidavits from respondents. Dr Cicilia Anthony, a member of the committee, said the aim was to ask for additional information. Another Fellow said Fellows were not facing trial and they would like to discuss their stand in the House. It was for the university to get the records straight and wrong allegations, if any, could be verified, he added. |

Forum directs MD to pay relief CHANDIGARH The complainant, Mr Harvijay Singh, had alleged that he had deposited a total sum of Rs 24,000 by way of monthly instalments of Rs 1000 each in the recurring deposit scheme floated by the opposite parties. The deposit was to mature on July 7, 1998, with maturity value as Rs 29, 310. The complainant had alleged that despite repeated requests and a legal notice served on the company, the maturity value of the deposit had not been paid to him. Hence, this complaint seeking direction to the company to make payment of the maturity value of the deposit that was Rs 16, 875 alongwith interest for the extended period as also compensation for harassment and cost of the case. The Bench comprising the president of the Forum, Mr R.P. Bajaj, and the member of the forum, Mr H.S.

Court notice to Sector 9
Vivek school principal CHANDIGARH, The complainants, Ms Bonny Sodhi and Ms Shiela Mamik, had filed a petition against the two under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, seeking the appointment of a receiver and also for restraining the respondents from “dealing with the properties of the partnership concern”. It was stated in the petition that Vivek Nursery and Preparatory School was established and run by a partnership firm. The present partners were Ms Sunaiyna Dass, Ms Sharda Dutt, Ms Bonny Sodhi and Ms Sheila Mamik. It was added that all the partners had an equal share in the partnership. The owner and landlord of the house, Sector 9, they added, had filed a petition for the ejection of the school from the premises on the ground of personal necessity about four years ago, and later filed a petition for the ejection of the school on the ground of non-payment of rent. It was also stated that over five years ago, the three partners — Ms Bonny Sodhi, Ms Sheila Mamik and Ms Sharda Dutt — had appointed the fourth partner — Ms Sunaiyna Dass — as the Principal of the school. Later, however, differences arose amongst the partners with Ms Sunaiyna Dass and her aunt, Ms Sharda Dutt, on one side and the complainant, Ms Bonny Sodhi and Ms Sheila Mamik on the other. Therefore, the meetings of the partners became few, and it was not possible for them to discuss anything related to the school. It was also alleged that the situation resulted in the petitioners being excluded from the management of the school with support of her aunt, Ms Sharda Dutt, and they were thus in the dark regarding the affairs and running of the school. It was further alleged that several notices were served on Ms Sharda Dutta and Ms Sunaiyna for a meeting to consider various things, but neither Sunaiyna nor Sharda came to any of the meetings. |

A conquest by
shadow CHANDIGARH Enrapturing the audience tonight were Frederic Herrera and Christopher Traineau, the two French artistes, who have long been working on this contemporary mime, dance and drama show (titled The Burrow) based on a short novel by Kafka. The concept, as developed and adapted by Frederic, who is currently on the French Government scholarship, is very sensitive in appeal. The two performers, who are trained in mime and dance alike, captured the complexity of human emotions and relationships by combing the three forms of performing arts — mime, dance and drama. The presentation had Frederic in the form of a half human, half snake which is all covered with mud and shrouded by solitude. He lives alone in a burrow till the time his loneliness begins to hurt him. He then starts looking for a friend whom he finally discovers in his shadow. The light of the candle is significant to the presentation as it is through this light that the character discovers his shadow. The shadow barges on to the stage in the form of Chtistopher and plays its way around the creator, till the time it conquers him. The movements taken by the artistes were extremely composed and with every composition they formed on stage, mesmirised the audience for 50 minutes. Following the performance, Frederic Herrera, the man who regaled audience at Alliance Francaise through his mime performance day before yesterday, talked a little about why he was excited about this story by Kafka. ‘‘It urges one to alter regimen, and discover ways and means to face life with activity. Loneliness has a lot of stinging value, and this story is all about how a creature gives in to the pain which solitude begets. The universality of this theme made me work on it.’’ As for Chtistopher, joining Frederic was fun, and the two actually did not know when their performance matured into a very famous one. This dance-dramatic show has been staged several times by the duo, and all presentations have been on important occasions — mostly during international and national festivals. The two, currently in India on invitation from the Alliance Francaise, are also conducting a three-hour mime workshop on the campus of Alliance Francaise. |
