Varsities stress on soft skills

What do you think is the problem with students as various studies state that only 25 per cent are employable?

A: The reason is because the present-day industry employers, unlike the early days when they usually recruited individuals and imparted training after they joined their industry, so they gain experience for that particular job, require employees to be industry-ready with communication and soft skills.

Even though they are successful in academics, as they are not strong in communication skills, the students miss the bus.

Now, the industry captains have starter informing the universities that they cannot recruit students without communication skills.

So, universities have started focusing the curriculum on providing soft skills to make the students employable, by utilising the services of service providers as todays teachers might not be in a position to impart soft skills.

Even though we teach them soft skills so that they get placed in one or the other company, we also try to develop their entrepreneurial skills so that if they do not get placed, they will become job providers.

Do you think instead of conducting after-class training for soft skills why not we have a preparatory course even before they join college?

A: I think in one way it will be better. When we approach students in the third year for soft skills training, they ask whether we can give an assurance that we will get a job as they need to shell out some money for the training.

Suppose, as you suggested, we have a preparatory course before the regular college sessions, it will be like the orientation course we do now. It will be of great help to the students as it will become mandatory for them to attend the course. I think all universities should start this preparatory course as we will have uniformity across the state.

What are the new initiatives of Annamalai University?

A: We have started imparting soft skills for all professional courses like MBA, and tie up with industry for research - mainly for exchange of researchers and ideas.

We have 50 departments and all these departments have joined hands with their related industry for society-oriented research.

We have approached industries like the thermal power plant near Chidambaram where the university has a tie-up. In fact, one of the private industries near us has been marketing our product.

We are concentrating on marine biology, pharmacy and ornamental fish culture as we have proved the technology in that field and we are trying to make it available for self-help groups in our vicinity.

P.C. Alexander passes away

Former Tamil Nadu governor and celebrated political analyst Dr P C Alexander passed away at a Chennai hospital on Wednesday morning, after a brief age-related illness. Dr Alexander, 90, is survived by his wife Ackama Alexander and four children.

A resident of Kotturpuram in Chennai, Dr Alexander was one of the most popular political columnists for the Deccan Chronicle and the Asian Age. He was an avid reader and gifted speaker. He closely followed political and economic developments across the world. He also loved spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren, said Jawahar Alexander, the statesman s eldest son, who is named after the country s first Prime Minister.

One of India s earliest bureaucrats, Padinjarethalakal Cherian Alexander played a major role in formulating and implementing programmes for free India. In a career spanning over 60 years, P C Alexander worked for the government led by Jawaharlal Nehru and later served as principal secretary to Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, and then to her successor Rajiv Gandhi. Famous for his stint as political advisor to Indira Gandhi, Dr Alexander, known for his witty writing style penned in his book My years with Indira Gandhi an insider s account of the four years when he was closely involved in the Iron Lady s party, political and personal affairs.

Dr Alexander was also posted as High Commissioner for India in London, and occupied key positions at the United Nations for nearly ten years, including Assistant Secretary General and Executive Director of the UN International Trade Centre, Geneva.

Having served as Governor to the states of Tamil Nadu (1988 to 1990), Maharashtra (1993 to 2002) and Goa (1996 to 1998), P C Alexander had won several awards for his efficiency and integrity in public administration. This alumnus of Annamalai University in Chidambaram was also considered for post of the President of India in 2002, but after APJ Abdul Kalam was elected instead, he became a member of the Rajya Sabha from Maharashtra, until 2008.

Ever the optimist, and always impeccably dressed, Dr Alexander had been active until his admission to hospital three weeks ago, for cancer.

On Friday, there will be a special prayer meeting for Dr P C Alexander at the Madras Medical Mission hospital in Moggapair. His body will then be taken to his hometown of Mavellikkara in Kerala for the funeral service on Saturday, said his son Jawahar.

Students brave strike to write post-grad exam

Parents wait outside the Annamalai University post graduate examination centre at R.K. Mission School, Meenchanda near Kozhikode —DC

Despite the motor strike, there was huge turnout for the distance education post-graduate examinations of Annamalai University held in the state.

Though the motor strike disrupted transport services, the examination was not cancelled and went ahead as per schedule.

In Kozhikode, majority of students took the examination held at three centres. Some of the students booked accommodation in lodges near the examination centres and a few others chose to stay with relations.

A good number of students opted for private vehicles to reach the examination centre.

We organised a group of 11 students attending the examination and engaged a private vehicle, said Sai Vinod, a second year post graduation student from Malappuram.

We also started early in the morning so as to ensure that we are not blocked on the way to the centre.

John David surrenders, at last

John David (with cap) and superintendent of police Ashwin M. Kotnis at the gates of Cuddalore Central Prison on Saturday — DC

With the police in hot pursuit, John David finally surrendered at the Cuddalore jail and was locked up on Saturday.

He had reportedly gone underground after the Supreme Court last week confirmed the trial courts award of double-life term for the ex-medico for killing his junior in the medical college of Annamalai University in November 1996.

With the ground sources claiming that John was arrested, the police claiming that he surrendered and his lawyer insisting that he was willing to turn himself in but the jail officials couldnt accept him since they were yet to receive the SC order, the story of the 34-year-old killer has a mysterious end.

Media speculation that he had fled to Australia as a church preacher had set the tune for wild theories the last couple of days even as the police teams fanned out to nab the fugitive.

We had a hunch that the Australia theory was deliberately floated to divert police attention. We knew he was somewhere around and sent three teams across, one to his native Karur. The case took a twist when we found that he is working at a BPO in Velachery, Chennai, explained Cuddalore SP, Ashwin M. Kotnis.

Two police teams were rushed to Chennai and they maintained vigil in civil clothes outside his BPO. Also, pressure was mounted on his relatives in Karur and Chennai. Calls to his mother Dr Esther were tracked and it came to be known that John was living with her in Adyar.

The pressure on her relatives drove the mother to get in touch with the police and promise that John would soon surrender himself. The family also got the services of a lawyer.

Police sources said a team followed John from the BPO and nabbed him close to his Adyar house. But since his lawyer was with him all the time, he was allowed to surrender at the Cuddalore jail the following morning. John arrived at the jail with his mother and lawyer Arumugarajan.

It is wrong to say that John was fleeing. From day-one (after the SC verdict on Wednesday), he was willing to surrender but the jail officials said they were yet to receive the court order, Mr Arumugarajan said.

It looked like John was aware that his heinous crime would catch up with him at some point as he had put off marriage plans despite his mothers pressure the last few years.

He reportedly took off after the verdict to make arrangements to take care of his aged parents after he was jailed.

NCTE appeal order for Annamalai University Annamalai Nagar

F.No.89-698-2010-Appeal
NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR TEACHER EDUCATION
Hans Bhawan, Wing II, 1, Bahadurshah Zafar Marg, New Delhi - 110002

O R D E R

WHEREAS the appeal of Annamalai University, Cuddalore, Tamilnadu dated 14-06-2010 is against the Order No. SRO-NCTE-M-DE-2010-18362 dated 16-04-2010 of the Southern Regional Committee, refusing recognition for conducting M.Ed-DE course on the grounds “The application does not fulfill the pre-requisite conditions including DEC approval for grant of recognition to the M.Ed. course through distance education mode”.

AND WHEREAS the Correspondent, Annamalai University (hereinafter referred to as the appellant), preferred an appeal dated 14-06-2010 to the National Council for Teacher Education, New Delhi (hereinafter referred to as the Council) under Section 18 of the NCTE Act, 1993 against the said Order.

AND WHEREAS Dr. G. Visvanathan, Dean and Dr. P.L. Ponnalakappan Prof. and Head, Annamalai University, Cuddalore, Tamilnadu presented the case of the appellant institution on 18-08-2010. In the appeal and during personal presentation, it was submitted that the required documents including the DEC approval and ‘NAAC’ Accreditation certificates were submitted by the Directorate to the office of SRC through letter dt. 30.10.2009 and 17.02.2010 respectively. The 'pre-requisites' had not been differentiated in the order. The DEC approval letter had been submitted with application on 30.10.2009. The deficiency letter sent by SRC Bangalore on 22.12.2009 did not state the DEC approval letter as deficiency. This indicates that the DEC approval letter already received along with the application by the SRC.

AND WHEREAS the Council noted that SRC vide their deficiency letter dt. 22.12.09 informed the institution to submit (a) certified copy of Byelaws of the university. (b) approved building plan. (c) building completion certificate. (d) CLU and (e) ‘NAAC’ certificate only. Whereas it had refused recognition on a new ground and this refusal ground was never communicated to the institution before issuing refusal order. In view of the above the Council came to the conclusion that there was adequate justification in
accepting the appeal with the direction to the SRC for issuing a show cause notice mentioning the refusal ground stated in the SRC’s order dt.16-04-2010 and for further decision thereafter.

AND WHEREAS after perusal of documents, memorandum of appeal, affidavit and after considering oral arguments advanced during the hearing, the Council reached the conclusion that there was adequate ground to accept the appeal and reverse the SRC’s order dated 16-04-10. Accordingly, the order dated 16-04-10 was reversed with the direction to SRC for issuing a show cause notice mentioning the refusal ground and for further decision thereafter.

NOW THEREFORE, the Council hereby reverses the Order appealed against.

KRISHAN LAL RINWA Versus HARYANA COOP SUGAR MILL LTD and ORS Civil Revision 6675 of 2006


In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh.

Date of decision : 15.12.2006.

Krishan Lal Rinwa .... Petitioner
vs
The Haryana Co-operative Sugar Mills Limited, Rohtak, and others .....Respondents.

Coram
Hon'ble Ms. Justice Kiran Anand Lall.

Present:
Mr.D.S.Patwalia,Advocate,for the petitioner.

Kiran Anand Lall, J.
Both the courts below having declined the relief of temporary injunction to the petitioner, he has come up in revision to this court, under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, against those orders.

The claim of the petitioner in the suit is that his right of promotion to the post of Deputy Chief Chemist has been declined by the
respondents, illegally. Interim relief of temporary injunction for restraining the respondents from filling up the post of Deputy Chief Chemist, till the decision of the suit, was also claimed by him but that was declined by the trial court and also the first appellate court.

The fact that one of the eligibility conditions for the post under reference is that the candidate should possess a Post Graduate Diploma from the National Sugar Institute, Kanpur, is not in dispute.

Concededly, the petitioner does not possess this diploma.

The diploma which he possesses is from Annamalai University. And the question as to whether the diploma from Annamalai University is equivalent to the diploma of the National Sugar Institute, Kanpur is a disputed question of fact, which cannot be
Civil decided, at this stage, without recording the evidence of the parties. In this regard, it would be useful to reproduce para no.6 of the order of the appellate court, which reads as under:-

“6. It is not disputed that a candidate must possess a B.Sc. degree with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as subjects and diploma in Sugar Technology from National Sugar Institute, Kanpur as essential qualifications for appointment/ promotion
to the post of Deputy Chief Chemist.

Admittedly, appellant does not hold the requisite diploma from National Sugar Institute, Kanpur. Appellant claims that diploma awarded by Annamalai University is
equivalent to the above said diploma of National Sugar Institute, Kanpur. This is a disputed question of fact that cannot be decided without evidence before learned trial court.”

The above observations of the appellate court are self-speaking and are, by themselves, sufficient to uphold the order passed on the basis thereof. The observation of the appellate court that if the petitioner succeeds in establishing his claim to the promotional post, at a subsequent stage, he
can be compensated adequately in terms of money, seniority etc., has merit in it.

The petition is, thus, liable to fail, on the above-mentioned short ground.

(Kiran Anand Lall)

Our Philosophy

Learning is a life long process and the knowledge base of specific domain involves continuous augmentation of learning experiences specific to that domain and such experiences are supported by research. Thus education base of our institution involves augmentation of specific knowledge and skills that are acquired by treating patients based on clinical evidence and by teaching learning methodologies we adopt to transfer this scientific knowledge to our students. We are determined to guide and facilitate our prospective physiotherapy professionals to acquire such specific knowledge, skills and experience in their career to become reflective clinicians in treating patients and restore their maximum physical functional abilities.

It was founded by the munificence of the farsighted and noble hearted philanthropist and patron of letters the late Hon'ble Dr. Rajah Sir Annamalai Chettiar of Chettinad, Kt, LL.D., D.Litt. He started several colleges and ultimately the University in 1929. Since its inception, it has progressively tried to realize the aims of the noble Founder Pro-Chancellor. After him, his illustrious son Padma Bhushan Dr. Rajah Sir Muthiah Chettiar of Chettinad, was the Pro-Chancellor from 1948 to 1984 and he sedulously nurtured the growth and development of the University. The present Pro-Chancellor Dr.M.A.M. Ramaswamy, a philanthropist and a patron of sports, is the distinguished son of Dr.Rajah Sir Muthiah Chettiar. The University has had the unique good fortune of having a succession of eminent Vice-Chancellors to guide its destinies. During the last eighty years the University has grown rapidly and consolidated its position as a unitary and residential University with Forty nine Departments of Study and over 2500 members on its teaching staff. Annamalainagar is already a busy and full-fledged University town east of Chidambaram, the abode of Lord Nataraja. The University campus, including the colleges, hostels and playgrounds occupies an area of about thousand acres.

About Annamalai University: The Annamalai University is a teaching, unitary and residential university. This university was founded by the noble heart philanthropist Dr. Rajah Sir Annamalai Chettiar. He provided a useful hand in starting of many colleges and in the end gave rise to this University in 1929. After then there were many pro-chancellors of the universities who served the University from 1948-1984.

Introduction

The Annamalai University owes its existence to the farsighted vision, enlightened wisdom, benefaction and philanthropy of a single individual - Dr. Rajah Sir Annamalai Chettiar of Chettinad. As early as 1920, he founded the Sri Meenakshi College at Chidambaram, a great pilgrimage centre and also a centre for South Indian traditional culture and learning. In 1928, the Annamalai University Act was passed and Sri Meenakshi College became the nucleus for the University which is unitary, residential, rural in its settings and progressive in its outlook. During his tenure as Pro-Chancellor for 19 years he paid immaculate care and detailed attention to the growth and development of the University in every field. He paid great attention in the appointment of Vice-Chancellors. Equal attention was also paid by him in the appointment of enlightened staff, especially the Professors and Heads of Departments. The Professors of Annamalai University were always scholars and scientists of great renown in their own field.

Dr. Rajah Sir Muthiah ChettiarAfter his passing away in 1948, the Founder's eldest son Dr. Rajah Sir Muthiah Chettiar adorned the Pro-Chancellorship. A multi-faceted personality of rare calibre, the latter strove with sustained vigour and zeal to lead the University into 'fresh fields and pastures new'. He gave new dimensions, direction and new goals to the functioning of the University. The Directorate of Distance Education of the University, his brainchild and an asset to the University, was set up in 1979 and it has been rendering yeoman service in the continuing education to all. The Faculty of Medicine with the Dental College, Nursing and Pharmacy Departments, was started in 1980, and the cherished desire of Dr. Rajah Sir Muthiah Chettiar to set up a Medical College under the umbrella of the Faculty of Medicine was fulfilled in 1985. During the span of 36 years of his Pro-Chancellorship, he strove hard to nurture and nourish the continued growth and development of the University both in quality and in dimension.

Consolidation and Expansion
Dr. M.A.M. Ramaswamy - The present Pro ChancellorThe present Pro Chancellor Dr. M.A.M. Ramaswamy was nominated by the Chancellor to succeed his father as Founder Pro-Chancellor of the University. With the insight of a skilled entrepreneur, the organisational capability of an executive, the versatility of a venturesome industrialist, and the qualities of leadership and organization, he has continued to show the same care and guidance for the growth and development of the University with a sense of devotion and commitment.

Thanks to his guidance and encouragement, several new courses like bio technology, bio informatics and job-oriented courses have been started in various Faculties and Directorate of Distance Education. As a patron of sports, he has paid attention to the growth and development of the Physical Education Department, by adding to it the enviable Tennis Complex, the Gymnasium and Sports Laboratory.

The University which started with only seven departments in 1929 has, over the last 80 years, developed into a mighty institution of higher learning with nearly 49 Departments, in all 9 Faculties. This is one of the very few institutions in India with all the Faculties located in the same campus. The University can be proud of a well equipped Central Library and Laboratories providing very good facilities for taking up research projects, for Ph.D. and Post-Doctoral work. Several Research Projects have been undertaken by various Faculties funded by several agencies including the State and Central Governments. A close interaction has been developed between the institution and the neighbouring industries for promotion of research and training programmes.

Thus the University campus enjoys an atmosphere which exudes a fragrance of sweetness, heightened by enlightenment. As aptly observed by Dr.S.Radhakrishnan when he headed the Indian Universities Grants Commission 'the Annamalai University is eminently fitted to be a genuine centre of learning and culture by virtue of its situation and its beautiful campus.'

Court Case in Supreme Court of India

Guru Nanak Dev University v. Sanjay Kumar Katwal. Civil Appeal No. 2252 of 2006. Date of judgment 21-10-08

Background
The first respondent was admitted to a Law College under the appellant university for LL.B programme. The admission was after common admission test and the academic qualification required for admission was as follows;

"Candidates who have passed Bachelor's Degree of Guru Nanak Dev University or any other equivalent examination recognized as such by the University with not less than 45% marks; or Master's Degree of Guru Nanak Dev University or of any other University recognized as equivalent thereto."
The respondent have passed MA degree of Annamalai University through Open University System (OUS). He wrote the first semester exam and undergone the second semester as well. Thereafter he was asked not to continue as he was lacking entry level qualification. Incidentally OUS system of Annamalai University does not require a Bachelor degree qualification to undergo a MA programme. Against the order of expulsion the respondent approached the HC and got a favourable order. The order is appealed here.

Contentions

The appellants have raised three contentions

1. The word 'or' in the entry level qualification should be read as, 'in case the applicant does not have 45% marks in the Bachelor programme, MA degree could be considered'. In essence it should not be read disjunctively but as creating a conditional clause.

2. A person not having a Bachelor degree cannot have a Masters degree and therefore his Masters degree is irregular.

3. The OUS programme of the Annamalai University is not recognised by the appellant university, whereas Correspondence as well as Distance Education courses are recognised. The Annamali University itself has made distinctions between these three programmes.
Decision

The court could not find merit in the first two contentions. On the first contention court said that the word 'or' has in certain occasions have been read as 'and', but the current situation does not call for it. Also "... the word `or' cannot obviously be read as referring to a conditional alternative, then such condition is not specified."

The second contention was rejected because Annamalai University provide for such admission.
The third contention was found to be valid. "The first respondent has passed his M.A. (OUS) from Annamalai University through distance education. Equivalence is a technical academic matter. It cannot be implied or assumed. Any decision of the academic body of the university relating to equivalence should be by a specific order or resolution, duly published. The first respondent has not been able to produce any document to show that appellant university has recognized the M.A. English (OUS) of Annamalai University through distance education as equivalent to M.A. of appellant university. Thus it has to be held that first respondent does not fulfil the eligibility criterion of the appellant university for admission to three year law course."
Though the respondent is technically ineligible to be admitted, the court in the present circumstances; being allowed to write examination, before which it was the responsibility of the university to verify eligibility and having won the case at HC and continued his studies, wished not to interfere with his career and ordered continuation of enrolment as students or if he has already completed the course for declaration of the result.
