Online Traffic Jam in UGC Website
by Ratheesh K 01 May '12

01 May '12

Dear Friends, Many UGC Aspirants complaints about the non availability of ugcnetonline website for the submission of NET applications...I think it is due to the under performance and over load (or non performance)of UGC's server at Delhi...As per the latest statistics more than 10 lakhs candidates are appearing for the NET June 2012 in different subjects...I am very sorry to tell that UGC is not ready to consider the grievances of the aspirants , they extent the last date for online submissions for just two days....is it enough ? .....many of my friends are tried to submit the application on late night and early morning but failed... The very interesting thing is that Qualifying UGC NET is more easy compared to the submission of NET online submission... I request, who have access to UGC head qtrs should try to extend the date at least up to 5th May .

Lecture at JNU on 16th May 2012 at 3.00 pm , JNU Library
by Dr Ramesh C Gaur 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

Central Library Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Cordially invites you to the 5th Library Lecture Series and Outreach Programme Topic Depleting Archives and Disintegrating Histories Speaker Ms. Shilpi Rajpal PhD Scholar Department of History University of Delhi Chairperson Prof. Mridula Mukherjee Professor Centre for Historical Studies, School of Social Sciences Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi-110067, INDIA. Date: Wednesday, 16th May 2012 at 3:00 pm Venue: Committee Room, Central Library, JNU, New Delhi About the Talk The proposed talk is based on personal experiences of the researcher in various archives and libraries of India. It was her doctoral research that brought her face to face with the working of the Indian archives. The Public Record Act which was passed in 1993 regulates the management, administration and preservation of public records. The talk will highlight weaknesses in the Public Record Act in dealing with present scenario. The Researcher believes that various government departments have little clue regarding the preservation and maintenance of the valuable historical documents that are being look after by them. The art of conserving, classifying and weeding out of these documents largely remains unknown to most of them. It would not be an exaggeration to state that the Indian archives are facing a deep crisis as far the maintenance of its public records is concerned. The talk reveals the dismal condition of archives in India. It further seeks new ways i.e. what more needs to be done in order to preserve the documental legacy of India. About the Speaker Ms. Shilpi Rajpal is PhD Scholar in the Department of History, University of Delhi. At present, she is in final phase of her thesis writing entitled ‘Madness and Delinquency in Colonial North India’ 1850-1947’. She was awarded the University Teaching Assistantship in 2009 for the period of four years in the University of Delhi. She has also taught as a Guest Lecturer in Department of Germanic and Romance Studies, Arts Faculty, University of Delhi (August 2007 – March 2009). She has presented papers in several national and International Conferences. Please make it convenient to attend.
