Workshop
on bio-informatics opens Chandigarh, January 28 Dr Kapur in his inaugural address talked about emerging fields of bio-informatics such as neuroinformatics and chemo-informatics. The significant aspect of the field was that various sciences such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, computers, statistics, branches of biology as biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology came under the umbrella of bio-informatics. The reason for this was that the research in these branches generated an extensive amount of data that was impossible to analyse and interpret without the applications of bioinformatics. Bioinformatics basically understands the functioning of organisms with the help of computers. As many as 52 participants from different institutes are taking part in the deliberations on self-financing, said Prof R.C. Sobti, Chairperson, Department of Biotechnology.

Literacy campaign for slum residents launched Chandigarh, January 28 Nearly 300 persons watched the cultural programme in which members of the Kranti Youth Club of Colony No. 5 presented various items like group and solo songs, skits on Independence movement and giddha. Speaking on the occasion, Rajesh Kumar, in charge of Colony No. 5 project of the Yuvsatta, said: “The main reason for poverty and hunger which the slumdwellers face daily is illiteracy and lack of motivation to get right kind of education. Education precedes enlightenment and everybody, we believe, is entitled to education and because a majority of slumdwellers are illiterate and school dropouts so they remain unaware of the majority of government schemes and programmes to uplift them.” It is with this view, he said, the Yuvsatta had launched the total literacy campaign. The campaign would also involve vocational education for females of the slum so that they could raise their socio-economic status. Mr Harmohinder Singh ‘Lucky’, councillor, Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh, who was chief guest, assured his support for all such noble efforts. Ms Vijay Singla, a trainer of Art of Living courses, also spoke on the occasion. The Yuvsatta has enrolled 300 children, between the age group of 5-7, who are school dropouts or not going to school.
