Mahatma Gandhi University VC complaints lack of money to run the university

2013-08-30T19:38:00.001+05:30

Dr A.V. George, Vice-Chancellor of Mahatma Gandhi University has supported the decision to open off campus centers despite opposition from the Governor.

Dr A.V. George, Vice-Chancellor of the university has spoken out about the Governor’s reasons in seeking explanations on the off campus centers. MG University recently started off campus centres which have come under fire. A letter signed by Governor Nikhil Kumar asks for clarifications from the Vice-Chancellor on why the Governor’s special powers should not be invoked in cancelling off campus centres.
Dr George has replied to this saying “The Governor has given us 15 days for a reply. We will send him a reply mentioning the said factors,”.

He explained that the university needed initiatives like off campus centres,because the government grant allotted was minimal. He stated to the present media “With the grants we get, it’s hard to run the university. The MG University, compared to the Kerala and Calicut universities, has more institutions under it.But when it comes to the funds, we get far less. To sustain the activities of the university, we have been compelled to initiate off campus centres. The university will otherwise be forced to shut down, due to the lack of funds,”.

He also claimed that a top official has instigated the Governor into demanding an explanation saying “We would not have gone in for such projects had the government given us an additional Rs 5 cr every month for running the university,”.

The Vice-Chancellor also made it apparent that the government only enquired after the university had finalized everything. He also clarified that the university can start off campus centres without the permission of the government. He stated “Prior permission is needed only in the case of creating new posts. No provision of the University Act stipulates that the government’s permission is needed to start off campus centres. In this case, we got the government’s intimation quite late,”.

India Breakfast Habits Study-Hunt for the nutritious Indian Breakfast

2013-08-30T19:32:00.000+05:30

Three idlis, a bowl of sambhar and a tumbler of filter kaapi -- Chennai's traditional breakfast is not just a gastronomical delight for many but also the most nutritious morning meal compared to those in other metros.

'India Breakfast Habits Study', a survey conducted in four metros, found that Chennai has the best breakfast 'nutrient profile' in the country.

The study covered other metros like Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata on a sample size of 3,600 subjects, split across 8 to 40 years age group, and described 'alarming' figures of nutritional inadequacy in our country.

"Although people in India are increasingly becoming health conscious, this doesn't reflect in their eating behaviour. Changing lifestyles and behavioural patterns result in meal skipping or inadequate food intakes particularly at breakfast time," said Malathi Sivaramkrishnan, research director, college of home science, Nirmala Niketan, Mumbai, who conducted the study funded by multinational food manufacturing company Kellogg's.

The nutrition scale was assessed based on the adequacy of carbohydrates, energy, proteins, fats and calcium. "While there have been many studies on the number of people skipping breakfast, very little has been done on the content of the meal and its nutritional value," said Malathi.

The study found that 79% of those surveyed in Mumbai had nutritionally inadequate breakfasts, followed by Delhi and Kolkata at 76% and 75%. In Chennai only 60% reported that their breakfast was nutritionally inadequate.

"Kolkata's traditional breakfast has excess maida which has a lot of carbohydrates, very little protein and no fibre at all. Delhi's parathas are too oily and Mumbai doesn't have a typical breakfast as such. People eat bread mostly, which just has carbohydrates," said Malathi.

Nutritionists say the nutrient value in rural areas down south is even greater as many of them consume ragi. "Ragi is rich in Vitamin B, fibres, protein, calcium, iron and phosphorus," said Meenakshi Bajaj, dietitian and coordinator at Academy of Clinical Nutrition, Madras Medical College.

She described the more popular idli and sambhar as a "complete meal".

"The rice and urad dal in idlis complement each other, making it a complete protein. The vegetables and dal in the sambhar are good supplements," she said.

The study found that one in four Indians skip breakfast. Although the number of those skipping meals were fewer in Chennai, 'skimping' (eating inadequately) was more prevalent.

Nutritionists say the effect of skipping and skimping meals is more or less the same. "Only the intensity will be lesser in the latter," said Bhuvaneshwari Shankar, chief dietitian of Apollo Hospitals.

It was also found that in Chennai nearly 50% of the housewives, 30% of the elderly and 20% working adults have only a beverage for breakfast.

Only IISc Ranks In Top 500 Universities In The World

2013-08-17T16:49:00.001+05:30

India does not have a single university in Top 300 according to Academic Ranking of World Universities. And the IITs that we tout so much about, not a single one makes its appearance in Top 500!

Indian Institute of Science is the only Indian university to make the appearance on ARWU rankings, that too ranked around three-hundreds-and-something.

The worst part is, on a global level, Indian higher education levels are actually falling rather than coming up. According to ARWU, In 2005, India had 3 universities ranked in top 500, the number fell to 2 in 2006 and in 2011 it came down to one. If the fall in our education levels continue, we many not see any Indian universities in top 500 in next couple of years.

ARWU’s methodology of ranking includes 4 main parameters – Quality of Education, Quality of Faculty, Research Output and per capita academic performance of an institution.

If you look at Top 10, Harvard University has maintained its position of being the Top University in the world and they have been on the top since the inception of these rankings.

Stanford, UC Berkeley, MIT and Cambridge University complete the Top 5 universities in the world. Cambridge and Oxford are the only two universities which are not from US in the Top 10 rankings. Infact, 17 of the top 20 universities in the world are all from US. Here are the rankings of Top 20.

The rankings for India look even more bad, if you compare our neighbors China – The latter has 42 universities in Top 500 compared to India’s sole IISc.
