SGGS College to start MBE course
Chandigarh, July 21 Welcoming the decision, the college Principal, Dr Kuldeep Singh, said the college had 10 lecturers to teach the course and books on the subject had been made available in the college library. He added that MBE was one of the most sought after professional course in the city and those who had cleared the entrance test for the same could now seek admission to the course. “With Chandigarh and its periphery fast becoming the hub of IT industries and multi-national companies setting up their offices here, students with an MBE degree would have a very good placement future. This course gives the students job-oriented knowledge in commerce and economics,” said Dr Kuldeep Singh, adding that the college was also tying up with the CII, the PHDCI and FICCI for the placement of the students.

Union protests against teacher’s removal
Chandigarh, July 21 According to a press note issued by Mr Kulbir Singh, President of the college unit of PCCTU, the teacher had been terminated after she had put in eight years as a permanent teacher in the college. Mr P.S. Gill, a lecturer in the college, pointed out that the teacher had been removed on the pretext that she does not fulfil the eligibility criteria. “She is a BE in computer science and joined as a computer science lecturer. Her appointment was approved by the university and even the DPI (colleges) then but with a rider that she would have to clear the UGC test. She did that after completing her MCA but even before her UGC result could be declared she was removed from service in March this year,” said Mr Gill. Demanding the reversal of the decision, members of the union also raised slogans against the college management. Mr Gurmej Singh, General Secretary, pointed out that this act was intolerable and
unfortunate. “The teacher was granted special extension by the Chandigarh Administration which gave her time to clear the test,” he added.

Panchkula, July 21 She was here in connection with the formal release of the album ‘Rumi — Love at its Zenith’. The album featured Rumi’s poems in the voice of Anandmurthi Gurumaa. She said India would not lose the basic ingredients of its philosophy and culture totally because its traditions and culture were based on lasting human values. She said Punjab was the most cultured region, with a large following of spiritualism, but practically, there was no application of general ethics, with female foeticide and dowry deaths being rampant. “Music is an integral part of spiritualism and Sufism.
