UBS fudging of facts: Probe panel set up
Chandigarh, January 3 The committee headed by the dean university instructions Prof Veer Singh has been asked to file a report within three days. The members of the committee include some university senators. Sources added that the VC called for an emergent meeting with the UBS Chairman Prof S.C. Vaidya and some other faculty members besides syndics this morning when the report of the alleged fudgeing was flashed by various newspapers. Sources said that no communication is sent to the rating agencies directly by the faculty members. As a result if the data was fudged, the chairman who signs the final communication had to be in the know of things if not actively involved. Sources added that the fact that the data was fudged was known to almost all the faculty members and was a topic of discussion during faculty meetings within the department. However, the issue was brushed aside by some of the senior faculty members who believed that data has to be fudged in order to get good ratings. Interestingly, on more than one occasion, the data provided by the UBS surpassed in quality the data provided by the various IIMs for rating. In one of the faculty meetings, it was even brought to the notice of the head of the department that the intellectual capital rating of UBS is better than IIM, Ahmedabad, recalled a faculty member.

‘Maya Devi’ a big draw
Chandigarh, January 3 Scripted for dramatic narration in ‘swang’ form by Chander Lal Bedi, the production, directed by Suraj Bedi, was based on popular folk love legend ‘Maya Devi’. The breach of trust and exploitation of the subjects, especially princess Maya Devi, by the insatiable minister, which formed the theme, held relevance even today. The artistes, who were accomplished actors, dancers and singers, enlivened the interest of the audience with crisp narrative, virile dancing spells and rendition of ‘raginis’. The immaculate musical recitations of Chamola, Swayya and Jhoolna won applause. |
