  • EAMCET likely to be postponed.

    Eamcet-2011 scheduled to be held on May 8 across the state will be postponed following the decision of the Election Commission on Wednesday to conduct polling for the Kadapa Lok Sabha and Pulivendula Assembly constituencies on the same day. JNTU-Hyderabad, which is conducting Eamcet, is expected to make a formal announcement on Thursday. “We will meet on Thursday to discuss the issue and take a final decision on postponement,” said Prof D.N. Reddy, chairman, Eamcet.

    The Eamcet schedule was announced in December last year, after taking into consideration the schedule announced for national-level competitive exams like IITJEE, AIEEE, AFMC, JIPMER etc. To change it now, and ensure that its does not clash with the other exams, will be a tough call. The Eamcet exams were scheduled for a Sunday so that candidates don’t have to battle weekday traffic and will be on time for the exam. The next Sunday following May 8 has been taken by the ICET, so the Eamcet will likely be held on a weekday, probably May 9 or 11.

  • Sensitise people on sanitation, hygiene: JNTUK V-C

    VIZIANAGARAM: Vice-Chancellor of JNTUK Allam Appa Rao has said students have a responsibility to transform society through voluntary service particularly in rural areas where sanitation and hygiene are appalling.

    He asked students of the university to go back to villages and educate people on sanitation and hygiene as 60 per cent of rural women are suffering from cervical cancer and water borne diseases.

    Stressing on the need to propagate the idea of service to society at a seminar on “Water for an urbanising world”, organised by Bharati Theertha’, an NGO, at the campus college here on the occasion of World Water Day on Tuesday, Dr. Appa Rao asked students to motivate people on water conservation. He said the university had launched ‘lab-to-land’ and began testing water samples in its lab.Collector M. Veerabrahmaiah said according to recent Census 20 per cent of the people from villages seem to have migrated to municipal areas for better living conditions and feared that it might touch 40 per cent by 2020. Prakasam Tata, Executive Director, Centre for Transformation of Waste Technology, who hails from the fort town, stressed on people’s participation to reduce toxic levels in water.

    Managing Director of CTWT John (Jack) R. Sheaffer, Consulting Engineers Arthur Anthonisen and Deepak Kantawala were among those present.
