Mathematics training
A mathematics training and talent search programme (MTTS-2007) started at the Department of Mathematics, Panjab University. The programme was inaugurated by Prof S.K. Kulkarni, DUI. Prof I.B.S. Passi, former dean, university instructions, and Prof S. Kumaresan, director, MTTS, were the guests of honour. About 35 students selected from various states of the country such as Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan are taking part in the programme. The aim of this programme is to expose students to the excitement of doing mathematics and to enthuse them to learn advance topics of their own and encourage independent mathematical thinking. These programmes of four weeks’ duration each, sponsored by the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM), are being held every year throughout the country since 1993. Other two parallel programmes of this year are being held at the University Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai, and at the Department of Mathematics, IIT, Guwahati. Latest infrastructure
The Department of Statistics has the latest infrastructure in place for teaching and research activities at M.Sc., M.Phil and Ph.D. levels. This department is in fact a “department of special assistance” under the special assistance programme (SAP) of the UGC. This programme is continuing in the department for the past 19 years based on its excellent teaching and research activities. There are only a few such departments of statistics at the national level. The department has its own fully equipped computer laboratory where students are trained to apply computer-based statistical methodology to data generated from real life problems that one encounters in industry, medical and engineering institutions, agriculture, etc. The students learn to use statistical packages. Department head G.P. Mehta said the department was in the process of procuring another statistical package that was being widely used in the industrial organisations. “Once our students are trained in the use of SAS, we are sure that we shall be able to attract a large number of global companies for on-campus selections”, he said. Date extended

Sexual Assault Case Chandigarh, June 6 According to sources, the counsel had cited certain irregularities in the conduct of the trial, which, he contended, made it difficult to discharge his duties and defend the accused effectively. Similar claims were made by the defending officer earlier and he had written to the convening authority several days ago, but a reply is still awaited. The counsel has also written to the authority over the matter and has sought an interview with the General Officer Commanding, 15 Infantry Division. Sources said the counsel had claimed that the contentions and submissions of the defence were not being recorded as warranted. Inspection of the court records by the defence revealed that certain transactions of the court did not feature in these. The prosecution and the defence proposed today that they jointly sign the record of the proceedings at the end of the day, but the court did not agree to it. The court has also decided to hold the proceedings in-camera. The sources said formations in the chain of command had no intimation about such a move by the court. Neither had the convening authority ordered proceedings to be held in-camera, nor did such a request emanate from the defence or the prosecution. The sources add that the complainant woman officer, in her deposition before the court, has raised some fresh allegations against the accused. The defence had objected to this on the grounds that the accused had been arraigned on two charges and allegations which were not raised in the court of inquiry and summary of evidence cannot be brought up at this stage.
