KU Botanic Garden …quot; heaven on earth?
Karachi: In the City of bustling vehicular traffic and noise pollution,
Karachi University's (KU) Botanical Garden is like an oasis.
It spreads over
35 acres, divided into 12 sections, having three Green Houses. It has as many as
2,000 indigenous and exotic species of rare plants.
It was established in
July 2005 at the place, which was house of termites, scorpions and snakes. The
entire project was inaugurated in September 2007. Now it is funded by HEC worth
of Rs. 29.2 million.
Dr. Anjum Perveen, Director of Botanical Garden,
credited Dr Qaiser for laying foundation of the tremendously valuable
garden.
Dr. Anjum and her staff have maintained the three green houses
tropical, temperate and Alpine.
The gardeners keep them busy with the work
day and night. The Tropical House has indigenous plants brought from Germany.
They are kept under daylight protection of the Green House; the temperature is
warm as of the tropical atmosphere of the Green House.
Temperate and Alpine
have been brought from the Northern Areas and maintained in a cool climate which
is created by air condition facility.
The rare plants include Grass Tree,
Fern Tree, Ginkgo biloba and even Blue Pine and the endemic plants are Acacia
nilotica, Ruellia Sindica, Asparagus dumosus, Abutilon Sepalum and
Rhodiola.
Many of the natural faunas do get intoxicated to these there are
rare termites around, as mentioned by the Head Gardener Waseem, butterflies too
get formed here at the garden through natural habitat and more importantly
exotic birds and even rabbits have started visiting the site.
During winter
season, the garden is open to general public during evening hours but in the
spring and the summer season, it will be opened after noon hours.
The academics and garden lovers have been encouraged to visit the site, as the
Centre has planned to hold short courses on horticulture by 2009. The Nation

When teachers don't make the grade
Karachi: With their reservations regarding the role of university
teachers, senior professors believe that drastic changes are required to improve
the standard of education.
Dr Muhammad Qaisar, Vice Chancellor of Federal
Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology (FUUAST), is wary of teachers'
performance, especially in terms of their ability to guide and lead the
students. "Since I have assumed the charge of VC, I am aggrieved to see that
teachers are either involved in eliciting benefits from the university or
indulging in petty politics."
A survey of the university reveals how true
the allegations made by the VC are. In one case, the chairperson of a department
in the Faculty of Science displayed poor understanding of his subject while
speaking to us, a state which could not have been expected from a
university teacher.
A senior administrative staff member of FUUAST was
not surprised at this state, he explained that most university teachers "lack
professional knowledge, communication skills and are seldom able to influence
students in a positive manner."
Dr Shahana Urooj Kazmi, Professor at the
Department of Microbiology and Dean, Faculty of Science at the University of
Karachi (KU), believes that drastic changes are required to improve the standard
of education. "Restoration of student unions, introduction of a full-fledged
semester system and a change in the attitude of teachers are essential if we are
serious about our university (KU)." Meanwhile, she adds, that even students are
not happy because they do not have representative unions while the teachers have
failed to create a rapport with the students." Kazmi criticised the culture of
Red-Tapism in the university and the unfortunate emergence of a separate class
of vice chancellors, deans and chairpersons. "There is a tendency among teachers
that they do not conduct their classes in the first period. Upon inspection I
discovered that in the morning only a few chairpersons were present in their
departments while classrooms were locked and students were waiting
outside."
Dr Zahida Maqsood, Professor in the Department of Chemistry,
complained about the appalling behaviour of teachers with each other and
especially mentioned a chairperson in the Arts Faculty who was removed from
office on the complaint of her staff members. "I was surprised to find that the
chairperson was running her department like an estate. She has a sister there as
a lecturer and was about to induct her daughter in the same capacity," she
said.
Both Kazmi and Maqsood were highly critical of 'cooperative
teaching' at the university and described it as a form of corruption that allows
the chairpersons and senior professors to hire co-op teachers of their own
liking while obstructing others from entering the profession. The co-op teachers
act as the 'mules of burden' while the permanent staff lounges in their rooms
and enjoy their salaries and perks.
Meanwhile, Beenish Tabrez, Ahmer
Hayat and Afshan Begum - students from the Department of Applied Chemistry -
were of the opinion that the accusation that students lack discipline is
unfounded. "We know that most students here are serious about their studies." On
the other hand, she added, "we feel that most teachers here are unable to
inspire the students and provide them enough guidance mainly because their own
knowledge is superficial."
Salam Bano and Javed Hayat Malik from the
Department of Education talked about the presence of Rangers in the university
and the insistence of most teachers to retain them for security reasons. Most
students wonder from whom the teachers need protection?

Health Sciences (DUHS), Ojha campus. This programme will be the first of its
kind in Pakistan in both private and public universities.
Medical
professionals at National Institute of Diabetes and Endocrinology (NIDE) will
work to control the alarming increase of diabetic patients in Pakistan where the
prevalence rate of diabetes mellitus is quite high (around 10 per cent) in adult
population, according to Vice Chancellor DUHS, Prof. Masood Hameed
Khan.
Speaking at a programme at NIDE, he said Pakistan stands eighth on
the list among world nations with diabetes population of 4.3 million. He
explained that although there is a significant increase in the ratio of diabetic
and endocrinological disease patients in Pakistan yet not a single institute has
worked exclusively on the cure of these diseases.
Prof. Zaman Shiekh who
is M. Sc Endocrinology and Diabetes from Glasgow was given the task to complete
and head the project.
In collaboration with overseas universities, MSc
programme at National Institute of NIDE, DUHS will be a two year diploma Masters
course with four semesters, first two in diabetes and second two in
endocrinology. The faculty will include senior professors of DUHS and renowned
endocrinologists and diabetologists of the country. There will be a rotation of
candidates in orthopaedic, medical ICU, Paediatrics and Gynaecology, Obstetrics
department of DUHS, Ziauddin Hospital and NICH.
The MSc Diploma is being
offered at Diabetes and Endocrine Institute of Excellence at Ojha Campus of Dow
University where in the first phase, a day care centre with computerised record
keeping, with trained diabetic educator nurse, dietician and chiropodist, a
diabetic foot clinic and a men's health clinic have been established.
In
the second phase, M.Sc diploma in diabetes and endocrinology started while in
the third phase, indoor facility, and quality assured lab have been established
to conduct basal and dynamic sophisticated hormone test with the establishment
of the Dow International Medical College.
After completing their MSc
Diploma in Endocrinology and Diabetes under the guidance of renowned local and
international endocrinologists the doctors will bring new clinical advancements
in the field. The MSC diploma will provide a sound background for physicians
training in diabetes; endocrinology and related disciplines will serve as a
major contributor to the training requirements for this specialty.
A
special teaching strategy has been designed for MSC Diploma programme which
includes interactive lectures by local and foreign speakers, discussions, self
presentations, demonstrations, workshops, self assessments activities, hands on
training clinical rotation and research methodology. The News
