Contractual teachers move CAT
Chandigarh, May 31 Taking up a bunch of applicants, the tribunal has fixed the next date of hearing for June 7. The education department has been asked to file its reply by the next date of hearing. The applicants in their plea stated that despite orders of the court the Education Department did not prepare their seniority list, thereby depriving them of their right to get regularized against vacant posts. The tribunal had directed the department to prepare a seniority list of the contractual teachers. In another case filed by a contractual teacher working against the post of ex-servicemen, the tribunal while taking up the case fixed the next date of hearing on June 7. The applicant, Shailender, in his plea stated that after the high court relieved the contractual teachers against regular appointments, he was relieved by a regular teacher who joined against the reserved category post. He stated that he joined on contract on August 10, 2002. Among the 93 posts of social studies master/mistress, five posts were of ex-servicemen. He said in November 2004, two regular teachers joined and three posts still remained vacant. On May 26, 2005, the applicant was relieved by a candidate of SC/OBC category which was against the rules. An-ex-serviceman category candidate can be relieved by another candidate of the same category.

This beauty wants to share misery
Miss Femina India Earth Niharika Singh’s beauty filters through her eyes and strikes you immediately. Laden with glistening smile, she not only charms you but manages to enthrall you with her glib talk.
Wearing the contentment of the success on her face, she looked soothing in a light-green dress. Beauty which beholds you is uncommon to come across and during a tete-a-tete with Niharika, one feels privileged. Belonging to Uttranchal, the tall beauty feels close to nature. Social work, too, beckons her. Her connection with an NGO has hardened her resolve to share the miseries of the unfortunate. During a visit to Dehra Dun she visited an old-age home. There she realised that it didn’t matter to them that a Miss India was on a visit. They craved only for love and care. All they wanted was love. “Now when I represent my country I should do something for my people,” she says. She feels beauty contestants have a lot of choice, which has contributed to their poor show at international contests. “Girls who made a name in beauty scene had a high ‘devotional quotient’. But these days as lot of girls apply without any commitment to the profession,” she feels. Recalling her moment of glory, she says: “I was very comfortable and instinctive on the stage when I won the crown. Before winning the crown I was much undisciplined and laidback but now my life is more planned to suit my varying schedule.” Students get diplomas Annual corporate report of NIFD was presented by vice-president, corporate, Aditi Srivastava. Trophies were awarded to toppers. NIFD director Ritu Kochhar also addressed the students and exhorted them to work hard and adopt positive
attitude.

Old in age, young at heart
Can you take these, women in their late sixties walking down the ramp, following the rhythm of western songs.
If you think that a wrinkled face can not create sensation on the ramp then you may
be wrong. Yes, it was proved wrong by members of the Women’s Tuesday Club who held their annual function “May Queen”
today. “Think like a queen and you will be one” was the slogan of this special contest. Held at the Central Club, Sector 9, the event was different from the usual stuff. Nearly 60 women in the age group of 40 to 60 plus participated. They sashayed down the designer suits, sarees and lenhgas on thumping beats in several rounds. There were three judges who chose the “May Queen” in different age groups. The three queens selected were Rhyme (40 to 50 years), Renu Ohri (50 to 60 years) and Sheel Chopra (above sixty). “Once upon time we used to have curved figure and now we have curves in our legs or knees but life still moves on. One should feel young at heart and should have
positive attitude towards life. Our club is involved in lots of social work and it keep
on holding entertaining events” said Ms Savita Brijmohan, president of
the club. The show was anchored by secretary Mukta Khaira, who regaled the audience with her witty comments.
