Class XI Admissions: Sale of Prospectus
Chaos as schools run out of stock
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, June 15
Panic and confusion marked the first day of the prospectus-cum-admission forms sale at the five city government schools today with the stock being sold out within hours.

The government model senior secondary schools located in Sectors 10, 23, 32 and Mani Majra and the Government Senior Secondary School, Sector 37, which were provided around 3,500 prospectus for Class XI admission on the first day, ran out of stock as all the prospectus were sold out by 11 am.

Though the school authorities kept on assuring the parents of arranging more prospectus, anxious parents ran from centre to centre and then entered into heated arguments with the authorities who seemed clueless.

The parents entered into an argument with the principal at the Mani Majra Model School as the authorities allegedly failed to provide them information about the time required by them to get the prospectus.

“Parents were waiting outside schools an hour before the sale started. There was a long queue here and when our turn came, they told us that the forms have been sold out. The authorities had no clue as to when they would get the fresh stock and asked us to wait. We waited for about two-and-a-half hours and when we tried to reason out with the authorities, they misbehaved with us,” said Harish Singh, a parent waiting outside the GMSSS, Mani Majra.

Similar spats were witnessed in other schools too. However, the school authorities held the education department responsible for the situation. “They did not provide uniform and optimum number of prospectus to the schools. When we apprised them of the situation, the department took over two hours to provide more prospectus and it became difficult for us to deal with parents who lost patience and started misbehaving with us,” said a principal of one of the schools.

The education department, meanwhile, was able to provide more prospectuses after 1:30 pm and claimed that all was well.

“The sale process went on smoothly. Yes, the schools ran out of stock but we provided the prospectuses immediately. It happened because we got more than expected number of people on the very first day,” claimed district education officer Chanchal Singh.

4,500 forms sold

Students seem to be making beeline for admissions to government schools this year as a record over 4,500 prospectus were sold on the first day. According to experts, this can be credited to CGPA goof-up by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), which has left admissions in private schools to the discretion of the school authorities.

“The private schools are picking and choosing the candidates and there is no transparency in their system. Many meritorious students have failed to make it to the school or stream of their choice so they have turned to government schools now as their process promises transparency,” claimed a senior official of the CBSE.

Preference list

The admission form of government schools has made a provision for students to draw a preference list of about 15 schools with their respective streams. Each school and stream has been allocated a special code. Students need to fill their CGPA details while the non-CBSE ones have to put in their percentages, which will be converted into CGPA for counselling.

ICSE students cry foul

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, June 15
The decision of city CBSE schools to do away with the “best of five” policy and convert the percentage of the ICSE students into the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for Class XI admissions has left hundreds of students harried.

In what comes across as the long speculated fallout of the CGPA system introduced in the CBSE Class X from this year, the students who have secured high percentage in ICSE (Class X) are figuring nowhere in the merit list of city schools.

Unlike the preceding years, these schools are refusing to calculate the student’s aggregate percentage using the scores of the best five subject out of a total of seven. On the contrary, they are taking the students score in English, Hindi, Maths, Social Sciences and Science to calculate the overall percentage, which is eventually, converted into CGPA, thereby reducing their merit.

“Our students study seven subjects out of which they are evaluated for admissions. But from this year, the CBSE schools have made there own law of taking prescribed five subjects into consideration. ICSE never believed in the CGPA system and so never went in for it but now these schools are converting percentages into CGPA, thereby reducing the merit of students.

The CBSE needs to ensure that things are set right or no student would opt for ICSE in Class X as a result of such unjust attitude,” said a principal of one of the ICSE schools in the city.

“My child secured 87.5 per cent in the ICSE, which meant that his CGPA would have been around 9.2. When I went for admission to one of the schools in Sector 27, they calculated his percentage on the basis of five subjects, which they chose and reduced the score to 81 per cent or a CGPA of 8. He was not given the science stream. Is it justified?” questioned one of the parents.

The schools, meanwhile, are considering it as a measure to bring uniformity in admissions. According to them, students of both the boards need to be judged on same subjects. It will be unjust to CBSE students if they get measured on their indicative percentage or CGPA.

Deferred exam leaves USOL students in lurch
PU fine arts dept refuses to lend premises

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, June 15
Adopting an insensitive attitude, Panjab University’s fine arts department has refused to allow its premises to be used for holding a practical examination of a course run by PU’s University School of Open Learning (USOL), causing harassment to students who arrived on the varsity campus for the exam on Monday.

The practical exam was to be held for the one-year diploma course in photography, a programme that was recently launched by USOL with much fanfare. What has added to the woes of these students, who are mostly professionals, is that their roll numbers have been issued just two days before their theory exam that is scheduled to be held on June 17.

Nearly 35 students enrolled in this diploma course arrived at the PU campus yesterday, only to be told the fine arts department had denied permission for exhibiting their work and that the exam stood postponed. They were required to display five coloured and five black and while pictures they had clicked.

The students learnt that a letter was issued by the PU dean of university instruction, who is currently acting chairman of the fine arts department (arts history & visual arts), to USOL stating the “gallery cannot be made available for the examination and exhibition of art materials”. Upon reaching the fine arts museum this reporter found only three employees were present in the building. The department chairman, Rajinder Bhandari, was on a three-year leave to Canada.

Sources said shortage of teachers and other employees in the fine arts department was one of the reasons behind the refusal. The selection process to fill up vacant posts is currently under way.

When contacted USOL chairperson Neelam Grover said she was “in a meeting”. The dean of university instruction could not be reached for his comments. When PU vice chancellor RC Sobti was eventually contacted, he said: “I’ve discussed the matter with the USOL head and we’re sorting out the matter. If the department was facing any such problem it should have brought it to my notice immediately before postponing the exam”.

Studentspeak

I came to Chandigarh on Monday just to appear for my practical exam but learnt it had been put off. When I questioned USOL officials I was told the fine arts department had refused to host the exhibition. The content of the letter sent by the DUI’s office was strange. When I asked about the new date of the exam, no one at USOL knew about it, said a lawyer from Phillaur, Ludhiana who had enrolled for the course.

On the day the practical exam was to be held we were told it had been postponed. The department has now booked the Government Arts Gallery & Museum for the exam, said Vikram, another student.

Panchkula, June 15
Blame it on the lack of employment opportunities in the state that a large number of highly qualified girls appeared for the fitness test for the post of constables at Tau Devi Lal Stadium in Sector 3 here today.

Girls belonging to the Backward Class, Scheduled Caste and other categories appeared for the physical tests, applications for which were invited in 2008.

Young girls started reaching the stadium with their parents early this morning for the physical test. Some even came from far-off villages like Hisar, Faridabad, Palwal, Rohtak, Yamunanagar and other districts in the state. Most applicants were postgraduate students pursuing LLB, MSc, MA etc. However, the minimum educational qualification was just Class XII.

Anju Bala (BA, BEd), a resident of Kurukshetra, said she wanted to grab whatever job that came her way. “Since my family’s financial position is not so strong, I applied for the post without any second thought. Moreover, there are not much job opportunities coming up,” she added.

Another applicant from Panipat, who did her LLB said: “I want to reduce the burden from my fathers’ shoulders and nothing can beat the kind of security one gets from a government job.”

SP Maneesh Chaudhary, who was supervising the physical tests, said more than 25,000 candidates had applied for the post of female constable under the reserved category.

He said the Police Recruitment Board, Ambala, was conducting the tests for general category and added that the Additional Recruitment Centre, Panchkula, was conducting physical tests for the reserved category only.

Snag delays Shatabdi

Chandigarh, June 15
The New Delhi-Chandigarh Shatabdi Express (2011) arrived late by over an hour-and-a-half at the Chandigarh railway station here this afternoon.

The train, which was supposed to touch the platform at around 11.05 am, came at 12.40 pm. According to railway sources, an overhead wire got entangled with the pantograph (device that draws power from the overhead wire to propel the train) at Mohri, near Ambala, on the Delhi-Ambala rail section, at around 10 am. At least eight trains, including the Amritsar-Delhi Shatabdi Express (2029), came to a halt near the Mohri railway station, where the power cable was snapped in the morning.

The rail traffic on the affected section was restored at 11 am and during the intervening period, several trains remained held up at various places due to a technical snag on both sides of the Ambala railway station.

According to Sudhir Garg, additional divisional railway manager (ADRM), the movement of some trains was affected. Overhead electrical maintenance staff and the EMU maintenance staff rushed to Mohri.

The rest of the trains arrived on time, the ADRM added.

At the Chandigarh railway station, relatives were seen waiting for their near and dear ones in the absence of any information about the delay.

“I have been waiting here since 10.30 am and don’t know when the train will arrive,” stated a harried bank official, who was waiting for the Delhi-Kalka Shatabdi.

Meanwhile, passengers on board Shatabdi who arrived in the city stated that they were held up near Ambala for an hour and their train was allowed after the fault was rectified. “We were scared initially as we had a little information of what had happened,” stated Monica Wadhwa, who arrived from Delhi.

Is Medicity project on the roll?
Smriti Sharma Vasudeva
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, June 15
After a long hiatus, the UT Administration’s much hyped but ‘shelved’ project, Medicity seems to be on a revival track. While the project has been lying in cold storage for over a year and a half, a special presentation was held today at the Raj Bhawan for UT Administrator-cum-Punjab Governor Shivraj V Patil.

Sources claim that this may be a revival call for the project, which has been gathering dust, for a long time after a PIL was filed by an advocate on the re-location of the project from Raipur Kalan village to IT Park.

A senior UT Administration official, however, added that if at all the project was on a roll, the matter would first be taken to the Advisory Committee.

The UT Administration had decided to re-invite the expression of interest (EoI) for the project at the time when the project was under the scanner of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC).

Sources claim that the Administrator had expressed interest to know what the project was all about; the quantum of investment to be made; feasibility of the project; and also how it would have benefited the residents of the tricity.

The sources claimed that Special Secretary Health-Cum-Finance Ajoy Sharma made the presentation in the presence of other top functionaries of the UT Administration, including UT Home Secretary Ram Niwas.

In fact, the Medicity project had literally turned into a battleground between former UT Administrator, Gen (retd) S F Rodrigues and UT Advisor Pradip Mehra with the latter objecting to the valuation of the 45 acre of prime land for the project, costing over Rs 2,000 crore at merely Rs 203.70 crore (upfront project fee price). In fact, the Adviser has also questioned the revenue model of public-private participation vehemently pushed by the then Administrator.

In fact, all mega projects that the UT administration had earlier initiated currently stand shelved after being engulfed in controversies. These projects include the Theme-cum-Amusement Park and Film city.

22 years on, arms ban still in place
Ramanjit Singh Sidhu
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, June 15
Even though over two decades have elapsed since terrorism raised its ugly head in the region, the UT administration continues to issue prohibitory orders enforcing a ban on people from carrying weapons in public in the city.

Sources close to the deputy commissioner’s office said the orders are issued under section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code in continuation since 1988, when terrorism in Punjab was at its peak. This restriction is not only affecting all licensed weapon holders in the city, but also visitors including those from the neighbouring states of Punjab and Haryana, who risk prosecution if they violate the ban.

In April this year, an editor-in-chief of a Meerut-based newspaper was arrested along with his gunman and two friends on charges of bearing weapons in violation of the prohibitory orders. The incident came to light after they had an altercation with a manager of a discotheque in Sector 9. The journalist later told the police he was unaware of the prohibitory orders in force in the city.

Reacting to this incident, a gun licence holder in the city suggested officials should put up notice boards at the union territory’s entry points informing visitors carrying of weapons was prohibited. “The authorities should also make provisions for keeping weapons at the entry points to avoid undue harassment to those holding valid arms licences”, he pointed out.

Interestingly, the procedure is somewhat convoluted. Prohibitory orders banning public carrying of weapons are issued for a period of 60 days at a time. Thereafter the district magistrate is required to provide a gap of a day or two after which he reissues the orders for a further 60 days.

This process has been in place for the past 22 years generating a considerable amount of paperwork. It also means that during that short window of a day or two between prohibitory orders members of the public are actually able to carry weapons in public, which amounts to a contradiction.

“The issue was informally discussed in the deputy commissioner’s office recently. One opinion expressed was that the very purpose of issuing arms licences to those apprehending a threat to their lives was being defeated since they were restricted to keeping weapons within the four walls of their homes”, said an official in the deputy commissioner’s office.

Citing National Crime Record Bureau figures, Rajesh Kumar, president of local unit of the All India Anti-Terrorist Front, said of the 33,428 murder cases registered in India in 2007, 598 murders (that is, 1.7 per cent) were committed by licensed firearms.

Apart from this, 21 per cent of the murders were committed by terrorists in the country, he added.

“The figures clearly indicate most of the heinous crimes are committed by criminals having illegal weapons. There’s no point in barring law abiding licensed arms holders, whose antecedents are confirmed by the police, for carrying weapons, in public on grounds of safety”, said Sharma. “In the wake of rising incidents of terrorist attacks, murders, kidnappings for ransom and highway robberies, the right to bear arms for self-defence should not be restricted”, he added.

Rupture in heart closed in rare procedure
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, June 15
Dr Shiv Bagga working as Assistant Professor in the Department of Cardiology at PGIMER has brought laurels to the institute by performing the rare percutaneous device closure of ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSOV) for the first time in the northern region.

According to the treating physician, this is a rare disease entity in which there is a high -pressure connection between the aorta, which is the main blood-carrying vessel of the heart, and the low-pressure chambers of the heart. Untreated, this leads to intractable heart failure with a high mortality rate.

The usual treatment is surgical therapy, he said. The patient, who is a 21-year-old male, had undergone a previous surgical closure of the defect at the PGI itself. However, on follow up, it was found there was a large residual leak. The complication could have proved detrimental to the patient in case the treatment was delayed.

After thorough discussion with the treating surgeon Dr Anand Misra and the patient’s family, they decided to go ahead with the percutaneous approach, because a re-do surgery carries a high mortality risk. A team of interventional cardiologists led by Bagga performed the procedure, which is technically demanding and requires a high degree of skill, successfully.

Management being dictatorial: Students
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, June 15
Five students of PEC University of Technology, who were suspended by the PEC management last week, today expressed resentment and protested against the decision of the PEC authorities in a press conference.

The students have been suspended from the college for the academic session 2010-2011 and also from the PEC hostels.

The students alleged that they had been suspended for raising their voice against the injustice meted out to the college employees and mess workers.

“To avoid further trouble, the authorities have found a convenient way of suppressing the revolt by suspending us,” said a student.

These students belong to the Revolutionary Youth Association (RYA), a youth body formed by certain students of PEC.

Another student said, “Those students whose pictures appeared in a newspaper and who raised their concern over the plight of mess workers were categorically targeted and suspended by the DSW.”

The students mentioned in a press release that the PEC management followed dictatorial methods to suppress anybody who dared to exposes the undemocratic and corrupt elements in PEC.”

Amrinder, Aman, Akash, Virrat and Pardeep, who have just appeared in the fourth semester exam, have been suspended on the grounds of “disciplinary action.” The PEC authorities, in a letter issued by the chairman of Student Affairs Committee on June 9 stated that the students were found “actively involved in the process of inciting the employees of hostels to go on strike.”

Sawinder Singh, president of the Revolutionary Youth Association, said the attitude of PEC management was anti-dalit and anti-minority and that the PEC authorities knew that two among the five students were dalits. He added that the PEC management targeted the students for celebrating Bhagat Singh’s martyrdom day and for expressing concern over the delayed justice to Godhra victims. The students said they were seeking judicial intervention in the case.
