Mohali school gets power after 12 years
Mohali, September 17 It is a case of shocking indifference of the Education Department authorities to the plight of tiny tots studying in a school located not far away from the Punjab Civil Secretariat in Chandigarh. The power connection was inaugurated here today by Dr Naresh Kumar, Vice-President, Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd., who was the chief guest at the function. Mr Albel Singh Shyan, one of the organisers of the function, said the power connection for the building could be got with the help of Dr Naresh Kumar. Twelve fans had also been donated to the school, apart from getting the building whitewashed and doors and windows painted. Mr S.K. Behal, Liasion Manager, Ranbaxy, was the special guest on the occasion. Mr Shyan said the Municipal Council had also approved a budget of Rs 1.19 lakh for giving a facelift to the building, which was in a state of neglect. Mr Shyan said the school, which was started on May 18, 1992, had the post of five teachers. But at present only two teachers were running the school and out of which one remained busy with administrative work most of the time. He demanded that the remaining three teachers should be posted back to the school. Woolen jerseys were donated to the students by Mr Sikandar Singh and saplings were also planted on the occasion.

PUSU makes a show of strength
Chandigarh, September 17 After assessing the strength in the rallies organised by rival organisations, PUSU, through its impressive rally today, tried to drive home the point that it had the largest support base on the campus. With red stickers on T-shirts and all over the cars and two-wheelers, the meandering cavalcade passed through the various blocks twice over. The jeeps and cars were over-loaded with more and more activists wanting to get in for a round of the campus. With honking cars, revved-up bikes, sprightly youngsters and banners, the rally, which lasted for nearly two hours, was followed by a posse of cops. Gate No. I was closed till the rally went around the campus. The presidential candidate of PUSU, Rajwinder Singh Lucky, flanked by supporters raising slogans, stood waving out to students in a jeep and appealed for votes with folded hands. Unmindful of the heat, those around him raised slogans to keep the enthusiasm level up. He said that the alliance between SOPU, HAS, HPSU and the NSUI was only an arrangement of convenience. “They themselves have admitted that their agenda is to wipe out PUSU. If that is the case, how are they going to serve the interests of the students?” he asked. Meanwhile, all students’ organisations have put up their tents at various places on the campus, most of them concentrated around Gate No. 1. Campaigning is in full swing with emphasis on personal contact. While the departments were the focus of today’s campaigning, over the next two days, PUSU, SOPU and the ABVP will hold meetings in hostels and adopt a similar approach for campaigning.

HSA splits
Chandigarh, September 17 He claimed that Vikas Rathee and the founder chairman of HSA, Chand Singh Madan, were no longer a part of HSA since they had extended support to
SOPU, their main opposition party. “We have almost all office-bearers of HSA with us while those two have no support from the activists as well. Rathee didn’t even bother to consult us on the alliance and no party meeting was held before the decision was taken. To counter them, our party secretary, Parvesh, will oppose Rathee in the election. We will field our candidate only for the post of General Secretary while extending support to a like-minded party for other seats,” he stated. The president of Panjab University Students’ Association (PUSA), Pradeep Rarh, has extended support to this faction of HSA Meanwhile, Madan emphasized that Balhara was not even a student of university. “He has no business to interfere in party matters. They are the defectors and must accept that. If they have so much support from the students, why don’t they float their own organization,” he challenged.

Material for Senate poll dispatched
Chandigarh, September 17 Work in various branches suffered with most of the staff leaving in the morning while the remaining staff was sent by afternoon. The elections of the graduate constituency are to be held on September 19. While the staff on out-station duty would join work a day later, they would be “off work” once the counting of votes begins at 4 pm on September 21. This would mean that staff would be busy with elections till the final results are out on September 25. Earlier in the day, while the bus going to Delhi left as per schedule, staff on duty in Punjab had to cool its heels in the scorching sun with the election material since the bus could not be arranged on time. Though they were scheduled to leave before noon, they left late in the afternoon. “The university has not arranged a bus for us. They are still in the process of putting one at our disposal. The authorities were fully aware that the material and staff were to go today. Why didn’t they arrange for the same on time? This amount to mismanagement,” an employee said.

Parties’ pockets, freshers’ fun
While all organisations make a beeline for hostels as the sun sets, Hostel No. 7 has a special place on the itinerary of presidential candidates. This is one hostel, packed to capacity, housing only new comers on the campus, and they are the obvious choice of the students’ organisations. Be it the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the Students’ Organisation of Panjab university (SOPU) or the Panjab University Students’ Union (PUSU), they all agree that this chunk of voters will decide their fate. It is this belief that prompts them to pamper these youngsters in more ways than one. Be it parties at Kaimbwala, where liquor flows freely, or a subtler approach of attracting the freshers by organising an outing or taking them to movies, the mission is to reach the PUCSU chair by hook or by crook. And, the freshers are making hay while the election sun is shining, basking in the glory of their new-found status. Each party claims to have made an impression on these young minds by taking up their causes. Every group maintains that the votes from Hostel No. 7 are theirs, not because they have been lured by offers, but because of their “work” on student-related issues over the months. To put their stamp on “their voters” in the hostel, the organisations have already launched a sticker war, painting the doors in red, green and orange. The ABVP candidate, formerly president of PUSU (Shellay), took them out for movies on a couple of occasions to establish a rapport. Recently, under the ABVP banner, he organised a dharna to protest against the lack of facilities in the hostel to show he cared in spite of having his hands being full with planning campaigning strategies. PUSU, too, has in the past few days visited this hostel over and over, holding meetings. “This hostel is the residence of students of the University Institute of Engineering and Technology and of the five-year law course. Most of the UIET students are influenced by their seniors,” says Mohit Sareen. “We wield tremendous influence with the seniors and keep taking up their problems with the authorities. For this, their votes are ours,” he adds. SOPU, too, has been “targeting” these hostellers and giving them special treatment. Ranjit Singh Raju, president, however, is quick to add, “They will vote us to the PUCSC because we have been by their side ever since they reached the campus. Also, we are laying special emphasis on this particular hostel because seniors already have their loyalties defined. It is the lot of fresh faces that will make the difference in the final count,” he asserts.

Teacher booked, transferred
Chandigarh, September 17 The father of a girl student in the Sector 37 school in a complaint had alleged that the teacher, Mr Vijay Kumar, had “misbehaved” with his daughter and spoken of “irrelevant” things. In a complaint to the Education Secretary about a month ago, he had alleged that the department had failed to take action against the teacher. The teacher was transferred yesterday after the Chandigarh Police registered a case under Section 354 of the IPC for “intending to outrage modesty of a woman”. Earlier, a departmental inquiry had been marked. Two principals were appointed to inquire into the matter. The Principal of the Sector 37 school, Ms Suman Sharma, had also submitted her inquiry report to the department. But the teacher was transferred only yesterday, after the police registered a case against him. The father of the girl had lodged a complaint with the police. A police official at Sector 39 police station said that the teacher would soon be arrested.

Nanotechnology centre at CSIO soon
Chandigarh, September 17 Although a formal approval is yet to come through, there are enough indications that the Government of India has given the green signal to the establishment of a world-class nanotechnology centre at the CSIO complex. according to Dr R. P. Bajpai, Director of the CSIO:"I am happy to say that we have the full support of the Union Minister of State for Science and Technology, Mr Kapil Sibal, who incidentally was brought up and education in Chandigarh. " Initially, we have asked for a sum of Rs 50 crore," said Mr Bajpai in an interview here today. The site for the proposed centre has been selected. "It will be right next to the main building of the CSIO. It will be either pentagonal or circular in design and equipped with the latest research facilities in the field of nanotechnology", he says. Tthe CSIO has already achieved many a breakthroughs in the field of nanotechnology for which international patents have also been filed. The CSIO is broadly working in four areas , DNAnano wire (electronic components, processors, sensors and actuators, understanding life processes at the molecular level), bioMEMS (micro-analytical kits for clinical, environmental, defence, security, food industry applications), biomolecular motors (molecular electronic switches and targeted drug delivery systems ), nanotube (targeted drug delivery and biosensors) and stem cell. These devices will find applications in electronics, life sciences, medicine, space, defence, bio-warfare and security. Thus, development of technology based on DNA, Bio-MEMS, molecular motors and carbon nanotube is of immense importance, says Dr Bajpai. He points out that the technological revolution during the last half century was dominated and driven by unprecedented progress and growth in semiconductor devices. The semiconductor devices are approaching their limit in terms of miniaturisation and performance. Thus, it is obvious to look for entirely new concepts for developing miniaturised devices with higher precision, performance and reliability through nanotechnology. The nanotechnology has thrown unlimited opportunities for development of nano and molecular devices and in the past few years tremendous efforts have been made by developed countries towards commercial realisation of nano-science and nanotechnology. The self-assembly processes in biological systems are well-established and has been perfected by nature in millions of years. Interest in self-assembly biological processes for engineering applications is of recent interest and there are few groups in the world working in this area. Fabricating or synthesising working nano or molecular devices using the biological self-assembly process is also challenging because it is difficult to predict in which way the self-assembly process will proceed. This is due to extremely high sensitivity of these self-assembly processes to environmental and experimental conditions. Thus, the best way is to directly utilise a large number of molecular devices working in the living systems for engineering applications by interface with non-biological materials and devices. These hybrid devices will have higher performance and perfection as molecular devices. At the same time, these molecular devices can be isolated from the living system or synthesised in simple molecular biology laboratory without large investments required for the semiconductor industry. The CSIO's research strategy is to use life processes and materials perfected by nature for bio-engineering to develop devices which can improve the quality of human life. The group is taking the multi-disciplinary integrated approach to various projects to understand physical and biological processes at the molecular level for designing devices out of DNA as a nanowire, Bio-MEMS for disease diagnosis, biomolecular motors for high-speed,high-density electronic switching & targeted drug delivery.

Max Mueller Bhavan to take German to smaller cities
Chandigarh, September 17 Concerned with the meagre enrollment of students in the MA German course being offered by universities, the authorities at Max Mueller Bhavan, Delhi, are looking for collaborations to establish German as a preferred foreign language in major cities, besides metros. For a start, the German Embassy is focusing on Chandigarh which has a growing demand for the language but not enough infrastructural support to sustain it. On an official visit to the city today, Mr Eberhard Weller, Head of the Languages Department, South Asia, and Deputy Director, Max Mueller Bhavan, said the German cultural organisation was keen on building capacities insofar as the language was concerned. "It is strange to learn that although German was established in the Indian universities several years ago, there are just 120 students pursuing MA in German.By contras, we have 10,000 students at Max Mueller Bhavan in Delhi. Recently it was decided that IT students pursuing a certificate course at Max Mueller Bhavan would get 50 % refund on their course fee," he informed. He xpressed concern that the MA German course at Panjab University, Chandigarh, had just four students against . The focus is ,thus, on building capacities at the institutional level. Citing the example of Alliance Francaise in Chandigarh which gets 2,500 students annually, Mr Weller said that institutions catered better to the needs of students looking for empowerment in a foreign language. "Whereas the universities lay emphasis on the literature of foreign languages, institutions teach the functional aspects of the same. Their focus is on building the language as an effective tool for communication. That explains heavy enrollment in institutions like Max Mueller Bhavan and Alliance Francaise, vis-à-vis universities," he said. In fact, Max Mueller Bhavan was open to collaboration with Alliance Francaise in Chandigarh where German was being taught over the weekends for the past five years. Mr Weller explained. "We have never competed with French. We believe that as India goes global, the demand for all European languages will further increase. There is a great demand for foreign language professionals in outsourcing units across India. That is why we are moving out of metros and focusing on provinces." The shortage of trained teachers continues to be the greatest problem . Mr Weller said Max Mueller Bhavan was planning to intensify capacity-building measures like workshops and seminars to make up for the shortfall of teachers. "knowledge of English alone is not enough these days. Each European language is emerging powerfully in the global scenario," said Mr Weller, who will visit Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla, to see how the language can be strengthened there.

Controversy on red lights may end soon
Chandigarh, September 17 The sources in Punjab Government say that the meeting is likely to be held within a week or so between Punjab Chief Secretary, Additional Director-General of Police — in charge of security — and Principal Secretary (Transport). The issuance of a fresh notification regarding the use of red lights, in accordance with the directions earlier issued by the Punjab and Haryana High Court, is expected to be discussed by the officers. The sources add that the meeting is being arranged in the light of directions issued by Mr Justice Swatanter Kumar of the High Court. Taking up the traffic regulation and pollution control case, Mr Justice Kumar on Wednesday had asked authorities belonging to Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh to allow only official vehicles of designated authorities to affix red lights. The notification had come under severe criticism as it had “left out” certain categories of high-ranking police officers, besides senior bureaucrats. Even the ADGPs were not authorised to use the blinkers. Taking a serious view of the issue, senior Punjab Police officers had reportedly recommended amendments in the notification to include ADGPs in the list of eligible officers.

Bull dies in police custody
Dera Bassi, September 17 Though the bulls were kept under the police vigil and the Deputy Commissioner had directed the Animal and Husbandry Department of Punjab to provide medicare on a regular basis, yet a healthy bull died barely 500 yards from the Mubarikpur police post in the wee hours this morning. The police and veterinary staff lifted the animal carcass with the help of a tractor. A team of veterinary doctors headed by Dr Jaspal Singh, presently posted at Dhakauli village, conducted a post-mortem on the animal to confirm the cause of death. The veterinary doctors at the spot told to the Tribune that the animal died of respiratory and other lungs related problems as its tongue was exposed and frost-like substance had oozed out from its mouth. The penal of doctors at the site revealed that the Station House Officer, Dera Bassi, Mr Amarjit Singh Ghuman, informed them about the death of the animal and called them to conduct the post-mortem. The police personnel deployed to guard the herd claimed that the bull died of a snake bite. Health of the rest of the animals has also started deteriorating since the bulls have been tethered with ropes passing through their nostrils. The animals had been tied to hooks at different places adjacent to the Ghaggar Railway station leaving inadequate space for them to move around. Since the oxen were in police custody and the local administration had decided to arrange fodder for them itself. The Sub Divisional Magistrate, Dera Bassi, had asked the Block Development and Panchayat Officer (BDPO) to procure fodder for the herd. The administration, later, had to change its decision following objections raised by about 50 men of transporter Sher Khan. Presently, the bulls were being fed by the transporters’men, revealed Mr Malwinder Singh, the BDPO of Dera Bassi. A majority of the bulls, which were kept in a temporary shed, were today taken out of it as knee-deep water had accumulated in it. Meanwhile, waiting for Sher Khan’s release, about 50 cattle transporters have been camping at the Ghaggar railway station. They claimed that they were being pulled into a debt trap following huge expenditure on fodder and on their own meal. Nearly 50 vehicles full of fodder and 12 water tankers were being purchased for the bulls daily. Proper veterinary medicare was necessary to the bulls so that they could fetch them good money in a cattle fair in Bihar, claimed a transporter. Mr Manmohan Kumar Sharma, DSP, Dera Bassi, was not available for comments.

PDS to be expanded, says Union minister
Chandigarh, September 18 Addressing a press conference here, the minister urged the state governments to finalise the names of the beneficiaries immediately and issue them rations cards so that the necessary financial allocations could be made for them. Ruling out the advancement of the date of paddy procurement from October 1, the minister felt that the nominal hike in the minimum support price(MSP) was "inadequate". He, however, ruled out any bonus to farmers. He said the government would consider the request of the Punjab Government on drought conditions in certain parts. The minister said the Johl committee report on the diversification of agriculture in Punjab was under the consideration of the government. In line with UPA's common minimum programme, the government was committed to 4 per cent agricultural growth rate in three years. The national spokesman for the RJD, Mr Mati-ur-Rehman,blamed the Narinder Modi Government for the Godhra incident saying that the the bogies were burnt from inside the compartments. Only the RJD, under the leadership of Mr Laloo Parsad Yadav, could defeat the communal force led by the BJP, Mr Rehman, said adding that the party would contest the Maharastra Assembly poll.

Syndicate
to take up courier company
payment issue
Chandigarh, September 17 His payment of Rs 77,850 was withheld after the university found out that the courier company advertised on cable that students can collect their roll numbers and charged Rs 28 each for the same from the students. Departing from the earlier convention of not confirming promotion made under the Career Advancement Scheme (CAS), the Syndicate will give its nod to introduce such confirmations from the date the Senate approves these. An item specifying that government permission would not be sought in case of self-financing courses is also on the agenda while a new hostel for ST students is also likely to get the go-ahead since the university has already received grants for it. The university has got full possession of the Dingle Lodge in Shimla, a property over which it has partial possession, following a court order. An item pertaining to this has also been placed on the agenda. The Syndicate will also decide whether or not to exempt Ms Sunita Dogra from the condition of two years of work experience, mandatory for seeking admission to the B.Ed. correspondence course. Ms Dogra is handicapped and writes with her feet.
