Degrees Obtained In Science Subjects Through Distance Not Valid For Promotion, Higher Studies: SED

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: School Education Department Wednesday said that a high level committe at University of Kashmir has categorically resolved that degrees acquired by the candidates in Science subjects via distance mode are neither eligible for appointment as lecturers at Plus-2 level nor for admissions to M.Phill or Ph.D programmes.
Principal Secretary, School Education Department, Alok Kumar said this in reference to the petitions filed by different respondents seeking inclusion in the seniority list of Environmental Science discipline and for promotion to the post of Lecturer Environmental Sciences.
Quoting department news agency KNO reported that, “It has been found that the claim of the petitioners does not merit consideration based upon the observations and findings and as such the claim of the petitioners for their inclusion in the seniority list of Environmental Science discipline and consequent claim for promotion to the post of Lecturer Environmental Sciences is hereby rejected.”
“Environmental Sciences falls within the category of Science Stream where practical are the part of curriculum and therefore such degrees are necessary to be obtained through regular mode only unless such courses are allowed specifically through Distance Mode by Distance Education Council (DEC) or All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE),” reads the judgement.
It also said that the issue regarding validity of degree acquired through distance mode was taken up with the University of Kashmir.
In reference to referral, the Department was conveyed that, “The University in this regard has categorically communicated the decision regarding the distance mode degree, it is resolved by the high level committee that candidates holding masters degree in science subjects awarded through the distance mode from other universities are neither eligible for appointment as lecturers in the Higher Education Department (Plus-2) level nor for admissions to the M.Phill or Ph. D programmes.”
Stating the reason as to why the degrees cannot be perused, KU has said, “The laboratory component which forms an indispensable part of the curriculum and requires a continuous guidance for the whole period of 4 semesters is not given its due importance in the distance mode learning.”
“Hence in light of the facts, it is clearly evident from the records and rules that the distance mode degree of PG in Ecology and Environment is neither recognized by the University nor equivalent to the corresponding PG Degree of Environmental Science, University of Kashmir, Srinagar,” it reads.

Several Cases Of Hepatitis-A Reported In Shopian Village

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Few cases of Hepatitis-A have been reported in Ganowpora area of South Kashmir’s Shopian district following which the health department has started taking sampling in the village.
Quoting a health official the news agency KNO reported that few cases of Hepatitis-A have been reported in Ganowpora area, who were tested outside the district.
He said the health department has taken cognizance and has started sampling in the area.
Meanwhile, locals alleged that the main reason behind the cases of Hepatitis-A is contaminated water as they are getting water without any filtration.
They also said they don’t have proper health care facilities available in the area, thereby forcing them to visit Pulwama even to get tests done.
Locals said that despite bringing the issue of filtration into the notice of the authorities several times, nothing has been done so far.
They appealed to the higher ups to look into the matter so that locals won’t suffer anymore.
Meanwhile, Chief Medical Officer Shopian Dr Arshid Tak said that a few cases of Hepatitis-A have been reported in Ganowpora area.

“We have started sampling in the area—both water and blood samples have been taken and sent to the laboratory,” he said, adding that they have asked people to take precautions and have provided them medicine as well.
He also urged people not to panic as Hepatitis-A is usually a short-term infection and does not become chronic.

Under CSR, J&K Bank Collaborates With SKIMS To Help Poor Cancer Patients

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program, J&K Bank presented an amount of Rs 14.40 Lacs to the premier healthcare institution of Jammu and Kashmir for procurement of Platelet/Therapeutic Plasma Apheresis kits for treatment of poor patients suffering from cancer and severe blood dysfunctional diseases.
JK Bank’s Divisional Head Kashmir, Syed Shafat Hussain on Wednesday handed over the cheque to Director SKIMS, Professor Parvez Koul
An official statement reads that in a function organized at SKIMS Soura, the Bank’s Divisional Head Kashmir, Syed Shafat Hussain today handed over the cheque to Director SKIMS, Professor Parvez Koul in presence of Head Paediatric Oncology Department Dr Javed Rasool and Head BU SKIMS, Syed Irfan besides other officials of SKIMS and the bank. Pertinently, the event coincided with the ‘International Childhood Cancer Day’, which is observed on 15th February all over the world to raise awareness about childhood cancer and honours all the children and families experiencing the effects of the disease.
Speaking on the occasion, Syed Shafat Hussain said, “Healthcare is critical for every society and with rise in the number of patients suffering from terminal ailments in J&K, we do feel the need to step in and do our bit. However, as a socially responsible institution, it is a very humble contribution from J&K Bank to SKIMS Srinagar for the patients who cannot afford these kits critical for their treatment.”
“Besides empowering the people financially, J&K Bank has been contributing to the society through its CSR activities meant for helping the economically weaker sections especially in health sector. We believe our little support would help many patients and alleviate the hardships of their families,” an official handout quoted Syed Shafaat Hussain as having said.
According to statement, Director SKIMS Srinagar thanked the Bank for the contribution and expressed hope that amid rising number of patients suffering from such dangerous diseases and dysfunctionalities, the Bank would increase its CSR spend towards healthcare as a large number of the patients hailing from weaker socio-economic background visit SKIMS Hospital for treatment in pediatric oncology every year who find it difficult to afford expensive Apheresis kits containing Platelet/Therapeutic Plasma. “With J&K Bank’s earlier support, we have been able to increase the survival rate among the children suffering from cancer and many of them are today present in this function to collectively thank J&K Bank for their help and support,” he added.
Pertinently, in the last year also, J&K Bank had contributed an amount of Rs. 7.85 lacs to SKIMS for procuring these kits which have been utilized for the treatment of hundreds of poor patients especially children.

Senior Congress Leader Mohd Anwar Bhat also spoke on the occasion and strongly condemned the demolition drive in J&K terming it a deliberate attempt to create fear psychosis amongst the common people.
