Ph D news

http://www.livemint.com/…/Parliamentary-panel-raises-questi…New Delhi: Raising serious questions about the quality of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) holders in the country, a parliamentary panel has sought an evaluation report to understand why suitable candidates were hard to find for vacant teaching posts. With over 7,000 research scholars being awarded Ph.D every year, the panel has suggested “reorienting” the entire system of evaluation of Ph.D and other research scholars. In its report tabled in Parliament last week, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on human resource development stressed on increasing the number of research fellowships and new schemes for teaching assistantship, taking into account the shortage of teaching faculty in higher educational institutes. Drawing attention to the quality aspect of Ph.D holders, the committee said they were rolling out of Indian universities like dime a dozen. “The Committee would like to have an evaluation report, if any, about the quality and standard of Ph.D holders across the country to understand why suitable candidates are difficult to find for the vacant positions. Maybe we need to reorient the entire system of evaluation of Ph.D and other research scholars,” it said in its report. Shortage of faculties in premier institutes such as Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs) continues to be grim with no improvement foreseen in the near future, it said. To address the issue, it suggested that if stricter norms for the appointment of faculty is coming in the way, then University Grants Commission (UGC) and other regulatory bodies should review them on regular basis and bring in necessary changes so as to fill up the vacant posts at the earliest. “HRD ministry should take steps to enhance the prestige of the teaching profession,” it said.

see useful inf abt PhD

http://www.telegraphindia.com/115…/…/nation/story_17820.jsp…Teacher-job rules hit PhD holders' chances- Apex court upholds UGC's 2009 order, Centre unlikely to seek review Basant Kumar Mohanty New Delhi, May 1: The human resource development ministry and the University Grants Commission (UGC) are unlikely to seek review of a Supreme Court judgment validating a contentious UGC decision that debars a large number of PhD holders from teaching jobs.At a meeting of the UGC last week, the matter came up for discussion. Two members of the commission said the representative of the HRD ministry and the UGC officials gave the impression that they may not seek any review of the court decision.On March 16, the apex court upheld the UGC's regulations of 2009 on minimum qualification for appointment of teachers in colleges and universities. According to the regulations, the eligibility for assistant professor in a college or a university is the National Eligibility Test or the State Level Eligibility Test (SLET) qualifications. However, a candidate who has a PhD that complies with the UGC's PhD norms of 2009 would be eligible for the post even if he has not cleared NET or SLET.The UGC had in 2009 provided for admission through entrance test and course work before working on the thesis. It also laid down that a teacher cannot guide more than eight PhD students and five MPhil students at any point in time. Before this, every university had its own PhD regulations.The 2009 order threatened the careers of thousands of existing PhD holders who had not cleared NET/SLET. After protests, the UGC last year decided to amend its regulations to grant an exemption to the pre-2009 PhD holders. It sent the amended regulations to the HRD ministry, which has not yet granted approval.Ruling in a case filed by a few PhD holders, the apex court held that the HRD ministry and UGC are the highest policy makers and their norms must be followed.Since no assessment has been done to ascertain if any universities were following the UGC's 2009 norms for PhDs, it is not clear which of the pre-2009 PhD holders can be granted exemption from NET/SLET. The confusion is affecting the prospects of many aspiring teachers, including those who had earned their doctorates from universities that followed rigorous norms.After serving as ad hoc faculty in Dyal Singh College under Delhi University for seven years, Manoj Singh was selected as assistant professor in March but his appointment has now been put on hold.The college has sought clarification from the varsity whether it can appoint him since he does not have NET/SLET qualification. The university has not replied because there is no clarity on the issue yet."I have done PhD from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). But the college is not allowing me to join as a regular teacher after selecting me," Singh said.Out of nine candidates selected, seven have been allowed to join in this college because they had qualified NET/SLET.College principal I.S. Bakshi could not be reached for comment despite repeated calls to his mobile phone.At last week's meeting, the UGC members brought up the plight of the pre-2009 PhD holders."The UGC and government officials said that they would respect the Supreme Court direction," a member said.Another member said the HRD ministry was not approving the amendments to the regulations on the ground that many universities have started implementing the UGC regulations. Any change would add confusion and dilute quality, he said.Teachers' organisations feel the regulations should be amended since they cannot be implemented retrospectively. All India Federation of University and College Teachers' Organisations general secretary Ahok Barman said the government must file a review petition. "You cannot implement a policy retrospectively. It is a big blow to thousands of PhD holders who want to become teachers," Barman said.Former Madras University vice-chancellor S.P. Thyagarajan, who headed a committee that prepared the 2009 regulations on PhDs, hailed the Supreme Court ruling."Personally, I support the court order. There has to be some quality control in teacher appointment. All PhDs should not be treated equivalent to NET," he said.

Fwd: [bytesforall_readers] An Open Letter to Mark Zuckerberg Regarding Internet.org, Net Neutrality, Privacy, and Security
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 08 May '15

08 May '15

From: "Subbiah Arunachalam" <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, May 8, 2015 4:47 am https://pad.riseup.net/p/internet-dot-org-net-neutrality *An Open Letter to Mark Zuckerberg Regarding Internet.org, Net Neutrality, Privacy, and Security* [If you have comments, please add them below the letter] We, the undersigned, a coalition XXX organizations from around the world, share a common concern about the launch and expansion of Facebookâs Internet.org platform and its implications for the open internet around the world. It is our belief that Facebook is improperly defining Net Neutrality in public statements and building a walled-garden where the world's poorest people can only access a limited set of insecure websites and services. Further,we are deeply concerned that Internet.org has been misleadingly marketed as providing access to the internet, when in fact it only provides access to a limited number of internet-connected services. In addition, in its present conception, Internet.org not only violates fundamental principles of Net Neutrality, but also threatens freedom of expression, security, privacy, and innovation. Net Neutrality supports freedom of expression by enabling people to seek, receive, and impart information. It requires that the internet be maintained as an open platform on which network providers treat all content, applications, and services equally, without discrimination. An important aspect of Net Neutrality states that everyone should be able to innovate without permission from anyone or any entity. This includes prohibiting positive discrimination, which covers price differentiation schemes like zero rating. Zero rating is the practice by service providers of offering a specific set of services or applications that do not count against data caps. These practices are inherently discriminatory and do not treat all content or applications equally which is why they have been banned in countries such as the Netherlands and Chile. Zero rating agreements endanger freedom of expression by letting service providers decide which services will be privileged over others, thus interfering with the free flow of information over networks. Zero rating is currently Internet.org's basic model: Facebook is partnering with ISPs around the world to offer access to certain applications to users at no cost. In a May 4 video, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced new rules pertaining to Internet.org and argued that Net Neutrality and Internet.org are not in conflict. However, on the accompanying website, the new rules explicitly state that âwebsites must be properly integrated with Internet.org to allow zero rating. Internet.org misleadingly labels these zero-rated applications the âinternet,â when in fact the applications only offer access to a tiny portion of it. The project acts as a "walled garden" in which some services are favored over others â again, a violation of Net Neutrality. The project raises other freedom of expression risks. The censorship capability of internet gateways is well established -- governments often go to ISPs to block access to certain sites or services. Facebook appears to be putting itself in a similar position, where governments could pressure the company to block certain content, or even, if users must log in for access, block individual users. The company should not take on this added responsibility and risk by creating a single chokepoint for the free flow of information. We are also deeply concerned about the privacy implications of Internet.org. Facebookâs privacy policy does not provide adequate protections for new users to the internet. Given the lack of statements to the contrary, it is likely Internet.org collects data by its users when they utilize the apps and services that are part of the program, and there is a lack of transparency about how that data is used by Internet.org and its telco partners. Internet.org also concentrates internet usage in a handful of applications and services, making it easier for governments and malicious actors to surveil user traffic. Finally, the current implementation of Internet.org threatens the security of users. The May 4 update to the program prohibits the use of TLS (Transport Layer Security), Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or HTTPS encryption by participating services. This inherently puts users at risk, because their web traffic will be vulnerable to malicious attacks and, potentially, government eavesdropping. We urge Facebook to assert its support for a true definition of Net Neutrality in which ALL applications and services are treated equally and without discrimination â especially in the developing world, where the next three billion Internet users are coming online â and to address the significant privacy and security flaws inherent in the current iteration of Internet.org. Facebook should strongly support and advocate for safeguarding the principle of Net Neutrality and other user rights in its discussions with national governments and regulators, while also applying these standards to its business initiatives.

08 May '15

TEXT BOOKS COME ALIVE Fullinfaws College recently organised a unique 'Science, Commerce and Management Exhibition' at its campus. The fascinating world of science and commerce was taken out of the text book and presented in the form of working models and meaningful skits. Topics ranging from Physics to History were displayed in models and explained to the students. There were also models that presented the literary works of poets and writers in Kannada and English. This event was organised for the students of classes 10 and 11 of various institutions. Prof Desmond TS, chairman of Fullinfaws College, who addressed the students, said that though the figures and pictures in the text books were colourful, the concepts, principles and laws had to be imagined and remembered by the students. The event provided an opportunity to more than 1,000 high school students from over 25 schools to learn many interesting facts about science and commerce. There were over 350 models in various streams like science and commerce.The experiments in light with the help of laser beams thrilled the students. The numerous models, displayed and explained by Prof Nanda Kumar, offered a first-hand experience in chemistry. It was then time for Ishrata Praveen's presentation, who enlightened the students about biology. A lot of business concepts and models were presented by the students. The importance of languages were also explained in the exhibition, giving students an opportunity for practical learning.

Librarian Post In State Degree Colleges
by Naveen Mathad 04 May '15

04 May '15

Dear Colleagues, Its unfortunate that even passing through NET/KSET and Getting A valid PH.D there are very few vacancies coming out specially in Karnataka recently KPSC called Asst Prof. Posts in many subjects except Librarian even though there are lots of vacant post available. In second time notification few more subjects added because of the pressure from the candidates and associations, unfortunately having strongest association than any other subjects Library association are not even raised single point with Higher education department to fill up the librarian posts. Along with few friends we met officials of the Higher education we got the answer as " we called very essential posts now in next notifications we will call leftout subject posts" but in the second notification they again left librarians. Its wondering Degree college librarian association or state library association are not even discussed about the negligence in filling librarian posts in degree colleges. At least now act on this dear office bearers of the association because any representation from the association counts rather than individual approach. >From - Naveen CM Research Scholar Mangalore University -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

In the wake of recent proposals to amend the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, as well as constant advances in the field of knowledge creation, coalition members are calling for responsive copyright law that balances the interests of those who create information and products with those of users and innovators, providing robust exceptions as well as limitations to copyright law in order that it not limit new uses and technologies. *Read More...* <http://mediasource.actonservice.com/acton/ct/10574/s-036d-1504/Bct/l-00b3/l…> WEEKLY COLUMNS FROM THE WIRE *Intersections, Frames, and Lines | Peer to Peer Review <http://mediasource.actonservice.com/acton/ct/10574/s-036d-1504/Bct/l-00b3/l…>* *By Kevin L. Smith* [image: Kevin L. Smith]So many ideas can be sparked by coincidental juxtaposition. In the past few weeks, I have been thinking about the intersections between scholarly communications and information literacy. This was largely because I was part of a panel at the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Conference about the task force charged with implementing the 2013 White Paper on the topic. My specific task was to discuss how the new Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education illuminated the approach we called for in the white paper. On top of these concerns came the Blurred Lines copyright case, which was all over the media in the past few weeks, and about which I have been asked my opinion repeatedly. Can these different strands be woven into a coherent idea? *Read More...* <http://mediasource.actonservice.com/acton/ct/10574/s-036d-1504/Bct/l-00b3/l…> ------------------------------ [image: AD Gale Cengage Learning 300x250] <http://mediasource.actonservice.com/acton/ct/10574/s-036d-1504/Bct/l-00b3/l…> MORE NEWS *Ex Libris Acquires oMbiel, Establishes Mobile Campus Solutions Division <http://mediasource.actonservice.com/acton/ct/10574/s-036d-1504/Bct/l-00b3/l…>* *By Matt Enis* [image: campusM Logo]Ex Libris today announced the acquisition of Wolverhampton, U.K.-based oMbiel, developer of the campusM and governmentM cloud-based mobile app solutions for universities and local government services, respectively.

Libraries Make Space For 3-D Printers; Rules Are Sure To Follow
by Mohan Hr 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

Dear all, It is quite interesting to note the developments. "So, where once we thought of libraries as places where we had things for people, now we really do things for people -- or do things with people," -- Sari Feldman of ALA With regards HR Mohan Former AVP(Systems), The Hindu IPP, CSI & Chair, IEEE CS & PCS The story ======= Libraries Make Space For 3-D Printers; Rules Are Sure To Follow At hundreds of libraries across the U.S., 3-D printers can sometimes be heard whirring in the background, part of an effort to encourage interest in the new technology and foster DIY "maker spaces." In some libraries, officials have begun to set restrictions on the 3-D printers amid concerns about how they'll be used. At the University City Public Library in St. Louis, Patrick Wall recently printed a green plastic sword from the game Minecraft. He runs this library and was demonstrating its new 3-D printer for a group of kids and adults. The play sword took close to 1 1/2 hours to print, Wall says. The printer is roughly the size of a microwave with an open space in the middle. A coil of filament feeds an extruder that moves back and forth inside, dabbing molten plastic into layers that harden. The 3-D printer, a 3-D scanner and filament cost about $4,500, Wall says. University City was the first of two public libraries in the St. Louis area to set up 3-D printers for public use. But, according to the American Library Association, more than 250 libraries across the country that have one. "It's actually part of a larger trend," says the ALA's Sari Feldman. 3-D printers are just the newest example of the interactive spaces that libraries are becoming for their communities, she says. "So, where once we thought of libraries as places where we had things for people, now we really do things for people -- or do things with people," Feldman says. She says libraries large and small across the U.S. are setting up so-called "maker spaces," offering increasingly sophisticated hardware and software, including studio production equipment, design software and in some cases, even laser cutters.

Open source SMS::Send driver for Unicel released for use with Koha ILS
by Indranil Das Gupta 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

Dear all, Good news for Koha users in India who wish to use ‪SMS‬ notifications from Koha. L2C2 Technologies has released the first ‪open-source‬ India specific SMS::Send driver that can be used with Koha if you are an ‪Unicel‬ customer. Unicel Technologies is a fast growing bulk messaging provider from India. Recently I found myself testing out their transactional SMS service (for alerts and notifications from ‪#‎Koha‬ ILS). Initially I wrote a rudimentary driver for my own use. But seeing the demand for support of SMS notifications from Koha coming from Indian users on various fora, I decided to turn it into a formal SMS::Send driver and open source it by uploading it cpan.org http://search.cpan.org/~indradg/SMS-Send-IN-Unicel-0.01/lib/SMS/Send/IN/Uni… Happy Texting! regards, -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 / +91-98745-80971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.
