Sachin tops state with 98% in CBSE Class XII exams
Haridwar, May 23 Talking to TNS, the topper revealed his success mantra sans any coaching. He wants to crack the IIT exam to pursue computer engineering. He said: “I believe in a thorough understanding of a subject as it helps a lot in the future. Taking breaks is also important as I learnt this in the Class Xth exams when I topped the school but failed to figure on top five merit list.” “He is a brilliant student and always made us proud. He has always been supportive to his classmates and is very friendly with others,” Sachin’s parents Surendra and Sushma. Overall, CBSE-affiliated schools in Haridwar district fared better in comparison to the last year with all big schools, including Shiv Dale, DAV Centenary, DPS, Uddeshwari, Kendriya Vidyalaya and Bal Vidya Mandir, having 90 per cent results. Raghav Gupta of Delhi Public School in the BHEL complex secured the second position with 97 per cent marks. He wants to pursue engineering. Regarding coaching, Raghav feels that it depends on person to person as some need extra attention and time to understand facts while many do better by just self-study. Akshi Chug of DPS has secured 94.4 per cent marks and terms self-study as the best method. Another BHEL girl, Mani Chitam has scored 90.4 marks in the science stream. Deep Shikha of DAV Centenary Public School, who has secured 94.4 per cent marks with biology and maths as subjects, wants to take admission to AIIMS and later serve the people of the state by working in the upcoming AIIMS at Rishikesh. Shubham Verma has topped the commerce stream by securing 90.4 per cent marks followed by Anjali Sehgal 89 per cent and Kajal Chaturvedi 85.2 per cent. The trio wants to pursue chartered accountancy. “I never studied for hours. I just went through the basics of the chapters and solved competitive papers,” said Kajal. However, Swat Aggarwal of Shiv Dale Public School, who has secured 92.2 per cent marks, says that tuitions are a must to get good marks. She owes her success to her father Manoj Kumar Aggarwal. The results of Bal Bharti, Vidya Mandir, Guru Ram Rai and Maharishi are also good as compared to the past years with girls outshining boys. The Principal of DAV School, KC Purohit, emphasised on providing studious atmosphere to students along with participation in co-curricular activities.

Students made aware of biodiversity
Dehradun, May 23 At this camp, a drawing competition along with two popular science lectures were organised. The topic for the drawing competition was “biodiversity” and the lectures delivered by Dr DP Uniyal and Dr Sarita Khadka, senior scientists of Uttarakhand State Council for Science and Technology, were on the topics of “biodiversity” and “Graphene: a form of Carbon”, respectively. This camp was inaugurated by Dr DP Uniyal and presided over by VN Vyopari, Principal of Government Inter College, Satiyo. Dr DP Uniyal, in his lecture, said the word biodiversity came from combining words “biological” and “diversity” and it meant all the variety of life on the earth. Not just all the different plant and animal species, like dogs and apples, but the variations within each species, like beagles and golden delicious apples. In fact, it also refers to the variety that exists between individual beagles, or between individual golden delicious apples. There’s a lot of biodiversity out there, he added. On the importance of agricultural biodiversity, Dr Uniyal said fewer genetic resources meant fewer opportunities for growth and innovation in agriculture. Growth and innovation are needed if agricultural production has to go up to feed the growing population. “If our food supply can’t evolve, then we may be in a big trouble,” he added. Losing biodiversity doesn’t just limit the opportunities for growth, it puts our food supply in jeopardy. “Agriculture becomes less able to adapt to environmental changes, such as global warming or the appearance of new pests and diseases. If our current food supply can’t adapt to changes in the environment, then we may be in a really big trouble. It’s extremely important for us to protect these resources and make sure they are used in a sustainable way,” he cautioned. Dr Sarita Khadka said graphene, one-atom thick sheet of graphite, is a newly isolated form of carbon. The pure, flawless crystal has many interesting properties. “The underlying rich physics of graphene promises applications which will completely revolutionise the electronic industry and a step ahead to miniaturise the electronic devices. The unusual electronic properties and nanometer thickness together makes graphene a potential candidate for electronic applications,” she said. Dr Hemendra Gupta of SPECS presented a weather monitoring kit to the school and demonstrated the methods of weather monitoring.

Biodiversity Day observed in Mussoorie
Mussoorie, May 23 The students were informed through a slide show presentation and documentary about the rich biodiversity that existed around Mussoorie and the state and the threat emanating due to the demographic pressure and over utilisation of the resources. The chief guest on the occasion was Mussoorie MLA Jot Singh Gunsola. Addressing the students, he said Himalaya is rich in biodiversity and acted as water bowl of the country and therefore the conservation of the region was essential and failing to do so would lead to war over water in the country. Gunsola said the need was being felt to conserve the flora and the fauna of the region, including the herbal treasure, in the state so that they did not vanish from the face of the earth in near future.
