The Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad (IIM-A), in an affidavit filed before the Supreme Court on Tuesday, has said that the unilateral decision of the Union ministry of human resources development regarding fees to be charged by IIMs does not seem to be a step in the right direction.

The affidavit, filed after the apex court served notices to the six IIMs on April 8, asking them to clarify their stand on the fee-cut issue, puts on record the IIM-A’s willingness to sort out the issue through a process of dialogue.

“We have not gone to the court proactively. The affidavit places our views on record in answer to the notice and not filing it would have limited our options. We are, however, not a party to the PIL,” said a source in the IIM-A.

The affidavit has three components - the Position Paper prepared by the faculty, the resolutions passed by the IIM-A Society and the Board of Governors recently, and the fact that the institute is in a process of dialogue with the ministry.

Dons feel that the affidavit clarifying the institute’s willingness for a dialogue will create an atmosphere that will help the process initiated by chairman NR Narayanamurthy during the board meeting here on April 3.

The affidavit said the fee-reduction order has to be seen not in isolation, but in the larger context of many other decisions by the ministry that threatened the autonomy of the institute.

It has also said that the notification on fee reduction “violates the time-honoured process of the fee being decided by the Board of Governors and that it is not necessary to reduce fees to make management education more affordable to the less well-to-do sections of the society.”

Meanwhile, the Indian Institute of Management-Calcutta faculty council filed an application before the Supreme Court, praying for an order impleading it as a respondent in the fee-cut case already pending before the apex court.

It will make wonders, but the fact is that tuition at the University of Delhi (DU) remained the same for over six decades.

“Each day, students pay R 30 for a cup of coffee and R 10 for cars, parking. But the monthly charges remained in the studies R 15 and R 18 for Undergraduate and Graduate Programs, and since 1938,” said Vice-Chancellor Deepak Nayyar YOU.

“How long lunch is also available?” he asked. Nayyar standpoint, it is a necessity for the university, their fee structure.

Several students have said they are not just the idea of a tax hike. Given the general increase in income and standard of living, English (Honours), the first year student at St. Stephen’s, Sushmit Sarkar, that higher education was made “at affordable prices” today.

“The university lean costs appear in the report on the” obscenely high fees, some private schools and institutions of the loading operation. Those who can not afford more money for higher education, “he said.

Bemerkte Anjalli Ravi Kumar, a second-year MBA student at the Faculty of Economics of the company: “There is no doubt that we pay much less than what we are able, are willing to pay” . To say that the tuition increases is a step in the right direction, but she stressed that the University must be sensitive to students from lower layers during economic structure of the new taxes.

With the consistent view, Tripti Parule a final-year student in journalism at Kalindi College, said: “We should not lose sight of the fundamental principle of education for all”. “She suggested that the new fee structure is divided into categories based on different income groups.” The section should be financially weak surrender of fees monitoring of subsidies on other weaknesses in the economic hierarchy, “said Parule.

While supporting the idea of a concession for the most weak, the dean of students’ welfare, YOU, Hema Raghavan warned that “things on a silver platter should not lead to assess” . She explains: “In addition to subsidies, we are introducing innovations” Earn while-you-learning “for the disadvantaged section, they can target employees within the university or institution for the plaintiffs’ employment, as a reserve audit in libraries,… In this way, they are aware of the value of grants them. ”

However, there is a section of the community of students - and an influential political in one - to resist any form of movements in the direction of increased fees. The Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) would protest against such an approach, “said DUSU President Nakul Bhardwaj. “Almost 70% of students come from lower-middle class families and even a minimum increase of costs, they can have effects,” he said.

Recognizing that the tax revision “can not be dictated by ‘, but by reflection, consultation and consensus,” Nayyar said: “We must ensure that those who can not afford, not only do not pay, but receive full fees - Liberation. ”

He added: “Universities are now functioning serious resource crunch.Higher education should be financed by the government. Universities should be completed by this attempt at mobilization of resources. “

9:00 investigation of the cell wall STRUCTURE simplicity of chlorophyll and extraction in the SUB-AERIAL micro-algae, ** * J. Griner, J. Trull, and YES Nienow, Valdosta State University in Valdosta GA 31698th Subaerial algae are a heterogeneous group of micro-organisms that can survive on land in environments where liquid water is rare. The physiological adaptations, with whom they live in these environments are not clear. Two important factors likely to be encouraged. First, many have subaerial algae cell walls hydrophobic, a fact which seems to contradict around the water quickly. Secondly, the chlorophyll is difficult to extract many subaerial algae with standard methods. We want to know if these two characteristics are correlated simultaneously by different strains of subaerial test for algae and cyanobacteria and Hydro phobia simple extraction of chlorophyll. To determine Hydrophobic, we agree with the standard microbiological compliance hydrocarbons (MATH) method in cells buffer are mixed vigorously in the presence of Hexadecane. Hydrophobic cells, as these droplets Hexadecane and remain at the top of phase. The degree of compliance with photometry. The chlorophyll is extracted with cold acetone (the default method) or hot, followed by DMSO cold acetone. The amount of chlorophyll in the extract is default equations. Our preliminary results indicate that the extract of hot DMSO may contain more than twenty times the amount of chlorophyll subaerial some algae extracts can be cold acetone.

9:15 phip DNA damage induced and the inhibitory effect NAC and GHS. * Ashok Jain, Department of Natural Sciences, Albany State University in Albany, Georgia. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death of cancer cases among women. There are lots of chemicals from the environment, which estrogenic and are of the opinion that compared with an increased risk of developing breast cancer. The supply of high-industrialized nations like the USA, is strong meat. However, the Asian diet is made up of more fruits, vegetables and soy products. Heterozyklische Amine (HCAs), where the beef products such as meat, chicken, pork and fish are cooked at high temperatures. These carcinogenic amines have been identified as important and are regarded as risk factors for cancer-Initiation. 2-l-amino-6-methyl-phenylimidazol [4, 5-b] pyridine (phip) is the most common HCA found well done and grilled meat, therefore the objective of this study was to analyse the positive impact of antioxidants, fruits and vegetables to prevent the toxic effects of phip. The culture of epithelial cells breast cells (MCF 10A) was launched and phip for 3 hours. After treatment cells were harvested and DNA strands has been quantified failures by measuring the average olive tail movement following each cell gel electrophoresis (test comets). To study a possible role of antioxidants in protecting phip toxicity, the capacity of the three anti-oxidants (ascorbic acid [ASA - 10mm], Glutthione [GHS - 10mm], and N-acetyl-cysteine [NAC - 10mm]) , Were discussed. GHS and NAC show protective effect of cells MCF 10A of the tail olive movement was briefly, indicating GHS and NAC are able to repair the breaks strands of DNA. On the other hand, ASA is not a protective effect of cells MCF 10A. Other studies in this area, identify interactions genotoxicity / heterozyklische amines and carcinogenic effects of chemopreventive to food supplements
