Elaborating the project, Anil Sharma, the principal and nodal officer of cricket project, disclosed that a pact has been approved between the UT Education Department and the Chandigarh Sports Club.” The CSC is developing the whole project. The school has not spent a single penny on this project but manual labour only.” The work will be completed in different phases. There will be two pitches - one would be turf pitch for special tournaments and another one would be clay pitch for general practice. Apart from this, there would be two practice nets - concrete and clay. At present the work is being done on the pitches as per international pattern and the ‘bermuda’ grass is being grown on it on the lines of PCA pitch. “We have brought sand specially from Ludhiana to be laid on the pitches. Thereafter, we have plans to install electronics scoreboard, stands etc. Afterwards, the proposal is there to install even floodlights” When asked, Sharma said the school tournament would always be given priority and the CSC has been given permission to use the pitch for a period of one year only that too on Sundays or on holidays, when the school is closed. After this time span, the CSC will not have any claim on the infrastructure. Besides, this it would be the responsibility of the CSC to coach the children of the school in cricket and prepare school cricket team free of cost. Another addition is its well stocked fully air-conditioned library which would now be opened for the senior citizens of the city. Confirming this, Anil Sharma, the principal of the school said, “Within five to six days we are going to introduce special evening timings (5 pm to 7 pm) for the senior citizens. We have brought special comfortable chairs for the library and generated funds from our own resources. It was our work experience fund which helped us to shape this library like this.” Being online school, the school is planning to start assignment and solution system. “Under this plan, the parents would know about their children’s performance, their behaviour through our website. They would be given a code that would enable them to access information about their child only. A teachers forum has been formed for the purpose”.

College Scam
Chandigarh, July 26 The state vice-president of the PCCTU, Professor Anil Sarwal, in a written statement, has said the union had written a detailed letter to the Chandigarh Administration regarding the Rs 42 lakh scam discovered in SGGS College during the last session. They also demanded a thorough probe into the scam by the SES and Chandigarh Administration. He said it has been over six months and no action taken report had been made public whereas another embezzlement involving Rs 31 lakh from the college funds was discovered and instead of taking any immediate action, it was kept under wraps. He warned if the SES failed to take appropriate action against the culprits the union would be forced to resort to the path of agitation and seriously take up the matter with the Chandigarh Administration and other authorities concerned to unveil this huge conspiracy. He also suggested to the SGGS College unit of the PCCTU not to become apathetic about the matter and assured them that the PCCTU would boldly stand by their every action taken in this regard. He said because this is an aided college and 95 per cent financial aid is provided by the government, the Chandigarh Administration is its legal custodian and it is the moral responsibility of the Administration to ensure accountability. Professor Sarwal urged and appealed to the Chandigarh Administration and the Vice Chancellor, Panjab University to intervene in the matter and look into the affairs of the College.
