BKU for direct payment to farmers
Ludhiana, June 6 BKU president Ajmer Singh Lakhowal said here today that it was in the best interests of the farmers that they received the direct payment for their produce. “Why do you need the middlemen when the farmers can get the payment for their produce directly?” he asked, while insisting that the Punjab government must not bow out to the pressure of the agents. The commission agents are learnt to have launched a signature campaign against this move across the villages since it would certainly end their monopoly over the trading of the crops. They are moving from village to village seeking signatures of the farmers opposing the move. To this Lakhowal remarked, “Most of the farmers are always indebted to the arhtiyas so it is no big deal to get signatures from farmers in their (the artiyas’) support”.

From Colleges Tribune Reporters
Mandi Gobindgarh, June 6 Sarandeep Singh of B.Com-I stood first by securing 74.18 per cent marks whereas Simranjit Kaur stood second by securing 73.81 per cent and Khushbu Gupta stood third by securing 73.45 per cent marks in the college. As many as 30 students of the college bagged first divisions and nine got more than 70 per cent marks. Another feather in the cap of the college is that 125 students of the college are going to attend eight-day Youth Leadership Camp being organised by Punjab University, Chandigarh at DrY.S.Parmar University of Foresty and Horticulture, Nauni, Solan. O.P.Goyal, president of the GESWT, Chaman Lal Garg, secretary of the GESWT and Piara Singh Kalsi, chairman of the GPC, congratulated the principal Dr Suresh Tandon, members of the faculty and students for showing brilliant results. The college principal also appreciated the hard work of students and advised the students to maintain this momentum in next academic session also. Ludhiana Good response to PCTE : As many as 2,773 students from all over the country have opted for PCTE to get admission in PCTE’s management quota of 34 seats. The students applied through MAT (Management Aptitude Test). PCTE is among the few colleges in the country to float its management quota seats for MAT applicants. While 80 seats are filled through MET, the entrance test conducted by Guru Nanak Dev University, the rest of the management quota seats are usually filled by the colleges themselves. On the other hand, PCTE admits students for these management quota seats through MAT, organised by the All-India Management Association, New Delhi, every year. PCTE further conducts GD and interview before admitting students. Dr K.N.S. Kang, director of PCTE, in a press statement said the college also had foreign students studying at its campus from six different countries, besides having students from all over the country. He said the response perhaps was due to the fact that PCTE had been ranked 36th by ‘Outlook’ magazine in 2006, and the best B-school by three different surveys (AIMA, Business India and Outlook) in the last three years in the three states of J&K, Punjab, and HP. Dr Kang informed that in this year’s MAT test about 2,773 students opted for 34 seats nation-wide, of which only 1,157 have been called for GD and interview. Of those who have been called, 327 students have got 90 percentile and above score in MAT. He said this was an encouraging response for education in Punjab as a whole.

He was granted anticipatory bail by the Special Judge on He pleaded that IPE company has been short-listed for an Asian Development Bank-funded project in the Republic of Palau. So, he wanted to visit there for holding meetings in connection with the project. He also had to visit Manila to discuss the same with the officials of the Asian Development Bank. However, the Special Public Prosecutors Mitter Sain Goyal (District Attorney) and M L Solanki opposed the grant of permission to go abroad.
