Vivek Nursery School
Principal to continue CHANDIGARH The Judge observed that there was no allegation of any error, shortcoming or
mismanagement in the administration and discipline of the school, which is in the hands of the respondent, Ms Sunaiyna Dass. Therefore, she should continue as Principal of the school. It will also clear any kind of apprehension in the minds of the students, parents and staff with regard to the functioning of the school. However, the financial matter which concerns the rights of both the parties need to be looked after by some neutral and impartial person. The complainants, Ms Bonny Sodhi and Ms Shiela Mamik, had filed complaint 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”. The judge also disposed of the complaint with directions that Sub Divisional Magistrate, Chandigarh, is appointed as receiver to manage only the financial matters pertaining to the school. He will take care of the day-to-day financial
management of the school. Entire income of the school, including the fees collected from the students, will be scruplously deposited in the school account in Bank of India, Sector 17, and receiver will look after the deposit as well as withdrawals. As regard the salary of the staff, including that of the Principal, the bills would be passed by the Principal and the receiver and the disbursement of the amount to them will be made against a receipt. The judge has also issued a direction that in case the receiver finds any lapse concerning the utilisation of money, he can bring the fact to the notice of the court for passing an appropriate order. |

Vedantist for reorienting
education system CHANDIGARH,
Feb 20 — The education being imparted today is aimed at making a living, rather than making a life. It does not take into consideration the fact that life comprises numerous experiences and that it is aimed at improving the knowledge of science, politics, economics and culture rather than the knowledge of leading a fruitful life. These views were expressed by Gautam Jain, a senior disciple of Swami Parthasarthy, founder of the Vedanta Academy, Malavli , who is in the city to deliver a lecture series on "The Perfect Individual" from February 22 to 25. He said there was an urgent need to reorient the educational policy so that it encompassed each and every sphere of life and aimed at creating a better human being and not just a successful person. He lamented that the education system laid too much stress on creating a perfect man in terms of material achievements. ‘‘ But who is a perfect man? How has he achieved or how should he achieve perfection? These are the questions that no one is willing to address. Each individual should have a goal in life and the right path has to be shown so as to help him achieve this,’’ he said. He also said most of the ‘‘achievers’’ (in terms of material successes) felt a lacuna in their lives in spite of having the world at their feet. ‘‘Now there is a small awakening among them to combine their material success with a moral awakening so that they can lead a life of perfection. It is in this scenario that the Vedantas can help us.’’ Gautam, himself had a brilliant academic career in the USA, where he graduated with a range of prestigious scholarships and awards. He declined lucrative job offers to return to India and dedicate his life to the research and propagation of Vedanta. He said the vices of kama, krodha, lobh and moha were eating up each individual. It is only the men of action, dynamism and courage who can lead a satisfying life. |

UT to provide makeshift chambers to lawyers CHANDIGARH Reportedly, it was in 1986 that 106 chambers were allotted in the district courts complex for the lawyers. However, no addition was made in the number after that despite a substantial increase in the number of lawyers here. Now as per the plans, the space for these chambers will be allotted in Sector 17 , opposite the police station along the iron railing near the entrance gate for the Judges. The decision, if implemented, would put an end to the woes of the lawyers and also the general public. According to sources, the action comes into effect after an inspection done by Mr Justice G.S Singhvi of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Reportedly, the Judge had inspected the premises of the district courts on February 10 this year and had raised objections about the increase of makeshift chambers in the court premises. It has been learnt that the decision regarding the allotment of space for temporary chambers was taken at a meeting held yesterday between the UT District Court Authority, the Deputy Commissioner, Mr M Ramsekhran, the Estate Officer, Mr Prithi Chand, and the President of District Bar Association, Mr N K Nanda. When The Tribune contacted the UT Subdivisional Magistrate, Mr Prithi Chand, said: “Congestion near the entrance gate of the district court due to large number of makeshift chambers was hampering the normal working. It is due to this only that the administration had considered providing alternate place for makeshift chambers”.
