PAUTA against move to sell land
Ludhiana, October 3
The Punjab Agricultural University Teachers Association (PAUTA) has condemned the state government’s suggestion to PAU authorities for generating their own resources by selling or giving on lease the 1-km land on the Ferozpur Road, which was lying vacant for the past many years. The teaching fraternity said this was not an appropriate decision for taking the university out of the severe financial crisis. They feel that the government, instead of extending a helping hand, had left the university to suffer alone in bad times and they will resist this move.

At the Crossroads
Pioneering steps for cultural renaissance
Over the years, Manveen Kaur Sandhu has stepped into limelight as an exponent of Punjabi heritage and promoter of Punjabi culture. Her intellectual involvements in highlighting Punjab's historical perspectives and her emotional response to the rhythm of life in the present age have brought about the flowering of her genius. Folklore, folk songs, light classical music and Sufi poetry hold a sway over her mind and she is swept off her feet in the presence of fine arts, particularly painting, calligraphy and clay-modelling. Beauty casts a spell on her mind as she recognises in its folds the hidden forms of goodness and truth. Her confidence is stimulating and her resolve unshakable. Primarily, she is an educationist who is all the time concerned with the aspirations of the young minds.
