Punjab University BA/BSc examinations 2009
PU to charge double fee for BA/BSc registration
Lahore, July 02, 2008: The students and their parents, expressing deep concern over the
Punjab University's announcement to charge double fee for registration of BA/BSc
examinations 2009, have demanded extension in single fee registration period.
They strongly criticized the Punjab University (PU) administration
saying it had totally neglected the inflation-stricken masses before making
announcement of registration with double fee. They argued that examinations were
scheduled to be held in February or March 2009 while the last date for
registration with single fee was set as 30 June 2008 adding it was not
justified. A number of students and their parents, said the
PU was already collecting excessive amount of Rs 1200 as registration fee adding
the double fee was not less than inflation-bomb for common masses to make their
lives further miserable. They were of the view that collection of double fee for
registration would create financial problems for the masses who were already
hard pressed owing to frequent price hike.
According to details, the
Punjab University had started registration of private candidates for BA/BSc
Annual Examinations 2009 in March while 30 June was set as a last date with
single fee. Ahsan, a student, said paying double fee for registration would
prove an extra financial burden on his parents adding he could not get himself
registered for exams due to some family problem. "There is sufficient time for
exams but it is strange that the period for registration with single fee has
expired", he said adding "The PU admin should facilitate students instead of
minting maximum money out of registration process".
Shahzad, said
keeping in mind that there was enough time in exams, which are usually held in
Feb/March, he could not get himself registered earlier. He demanded PU
administration extend the single fee period so that those who could not get
themselves registered for upcoming exams could secure registration.
Niaz
Ahmed, father of a student, said charging double fee for registration was
unreasonable adding by doing so those who failed to register themselves because
of some genuine reasons have to suffer too. He suggested that instead of
charging double fee, some fine, around Rs 100, should be imposed on those who
failed to secure registration in announced period. "Why double fee?" he
questioned adding those who could not pay this amount would fail to sit in
exams. He demanded the government take notice of the situation and provide
relief to the masses. PU Registrar Prof Dr M Naeem Khan was not available for
comments. A PU official, who requested anonymity while commenting over the
issue, said after the registration process, sufficient time was required to
prepare data of candidates appearing in exams and check their eligibility and
genuineness of documents submitted by them.
He said sufficient time was
provided to candidates for registration with single fee adding double fee was
charged as a last resort to make realize candidates the importance of time. It
was not for the first time that double fee was being charged from the
latecomers. Replying to a question, the official further said so far around
50,000 candidates had secured their registration by paying single fee. The News

Punjab University short of busses
Lahore: The ecstasy of Punjab University's 139 year celebrations could not
remain long for the students as the number buses have been reduced due to
shortage of diesel. This reduction in the number of buses has created an outcry
among the students fraternity. "We can not afford to commute in public transport
in this scorching summer and humid weather", a student said. "Being the oldest
university of the sub-continent, it should improves its management, PU is not
providing us with enough transport facilities despite 55%increase in the
transport fund", Sadaf Iftikhar a student of mass communication said. PU
Resident Officer Prof. Dr. Bashir Ahmed told The Frontier Post "the
unavailability of the buses, is due to countrywide shortage of the diesel. Buses
on all routes would be available to the students from today (2-7-08)", he added.
The Varsity has only 60 buses for 33000 students, and we have purchased 6 more
buses to cop up with the transport problem, he added. F.P Report

Groundbreaking ceremony at PU next week
Lahore: The management committee of the proposed School of
Physical Sciences (SPS), Punjab University, met here on Tuesday to expedite the
establishment of the school on the New Campus.
The meeting, chaired by
Vice-chancellor Dr Mujahid Kamran, decided to hold the SPS groundbreaking
ceremony next week.
The meeting was told that the SPS would be
established with a total cost of Rs190 million. Half of the project cost will be
borne by the Higher Education Commission (HEC), while the other half by the
Punjab government.
The meeting was also told the Punjab government had
already provided its share to the university, while the HEC had so far released
only Rs20 million. It was also stated that the remaining amount would be
released when the project would begin physically. The building's master plan has
already been approved.
During the meeting, the SPS' five component
departments -- chemistry, physics, space science, high energy physics and solid
state physics -- were given a go-ahead to purchase equipment from the funds
allocated for the establishment of the school.
The university spokesman
said the SPS' establishment was earlier delayed because its project director
Prof Dr Fazal-e-Aleem was held guilty in a plagiarism case. Faculty of science
dean Dr Jamil Anwar, physics department chairman Dr Shoukat Ali, space science
chairman Dr Muhammad Ali, CHEP director Dr Haris Rasheed and Centre for Solid
State Physics director Dr Nazima Ikram attended the meeting. Dawn

PU Seed Centre produces hybrid seeds
Lahore: Punjab University Seed Centre
has produced hybrid seeds of various crops, plants and vegetables with four
times more production ability as compared to ordinary seeds, according to a
handout issued on Tuesday.
The seeds produced at PU Seed Centre's Tissue
Culture Lab after experimentation, are also devoid of viral and fungal diseases.
These seeds include various types of potatoes like Desiree, Cardinal, Diamond
and various kinds of sugarcane like HSF 240 and CP 7740. The seeds also consist
of medicinal and floral plants produced through the tissue culture
technique.
Seed Centre's Research Officer Syed Tariq Mehmood said that in
their research lab, they carry out experiments on a portion of a plant, which
develops a new plant. He said that originally these seeds were imported from
Germany and Holland but now they are also available in Pakistan. He said that
there is a need to educate the farmers in this regard that by utilising these
seeds properly, they could get maximum yield and save money.
Mr Mehmood
said that the sugarcane crop requires a lot of water but sugarcane produced by
the tissue culture technique gives maximum production and requires less water.
He said that in Pakistan, two diseases i.e. Rust and Red rot primarily affect
sugarcane's production. He said that the sugarcane developed by PU seeds is free
from these diseases. He said that Sagwan is a tree, which could be used in
giving maximum amount of wood. In Pakistan there is now a dearth of these trees
and if attention is not given then the tree will become rare.
PU Botany
Department Research Officer Muhammad Akram developed thirty trees out of a
single Sagwan tree in the PU Botanical gardens by using tissue culture
technology. He said that Sagwan growth could be improved with the help of tissue
culture technology and it would also prove beneficial in saving money by selling
its timber in the market. Daily Times
