Principals
oppose fee hike by PU Ludhiana, June 3 In a unanimously resolution approved in the meeting of the Principals, they disapproved the recent fee and funds hike notified by the Punjab Government as irrational, unreasonable, illegal and devoid of any merit or logic. The Principals noted that under the Acts and Statutes of the university, it was the prerogative of the university bodies such as Syndicate and Senate to lay down the fee and funds structure for the non-government affiliated colleges. In this way government notification was violative of the various provisions of law. Moreover, Principals asserted that the students and their parents could not afford this astronomical fee hike and which would result in denial of higher education to the rural poor and other weaker sections of the society. The Principals also noted that the government fee and fund structure did not take care of expenses on scholarship, student-aid fund, electricity charges, sports charges, NSS and NCC fee and funds etc. Principals also felt that fee and funds structure of government colleges could not be equated with that of the non-government-aided colleges or, non-government-affiliated colleges. |

Book on poems released Ludhiana, June 3 Dr Aulakh appreciated the efforts made by Dr Dhiman who had tried to link humanity to nature. Coming from an agricultural scientist, it appeared quite natural and even inevitable. He congratulated Dr Dhiman for his praiseworthy effort in imbibing these perceptions in their complete form. The senior vice president, Punjabi Sahit Academy, said that Dr Jagtar Dhiman was a lone scientist from PAU to have published an anthology of his poems in English. Dr Jagtar Dhiman is a plant pathologist by profession and despite attending to ailments of plants he had proved himself to be a social pathologist through being fully alive to the harsh and stifling realities of our moral and social scenario. Dr Sarjit Singh Gill said that a sound output was always expected whenever an enterprise was accomplished through a scientific approach. Dewdrops emanating from a scientist poet vindicated this statement, he added. |
