    JNTU to run strength check on Charminar

    Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, will henceforth monitor the structural strength of the historic Charminar and suggest repairs, if any are required, to strengthen the structure.

    The Archaeological Survey of India, which maintains the 419-year-old monument, has asked JNTU to inspect the structure and submit a report. This comes after pieces of the floral facade of the monument peeled off last month.

    Explaining what it proposes to do, the principal of
    the JNTU College of Engineering, Dr N.V. Ramana Rao, said, “We will use ultrasonic tests where pulses of a certain frequency are sent into the walls of the structure. Depending on the speed with which these pulses reach the receiver, one can estimate how intact a structure is.? The JNTU will run the tests next week and submit a report to the ASI a week after that. The tests will be performed by the special structural engineering group from the university, comprising seven professors in civil engineering, which will be headed by Dr Rao.

    The ASI plans to sign a memorandum of understanding with the university in order to get permission to use its services for periodical inspections of historic monuments.

  • Apply online for fee scheme: State

    Apply online for fee scheme: State

    Nearly 90 per cent of the government junior and degree colleges do not have computers, scanners and an Internet connection.

    Ignoring this fact, from this academic year, the state government has made it mandatory for all colleges to submit online applications of the students who wish to be a part of the fee reimbursement scheme.

    The colleges have to submit about 20 scanned certificates of the students.

    The government decided
    to implement this scheme following complaints of large-scale irregularities while granting scholarships and fee reimbursements. To check this, the government has asked the respective colleges to scan the required documents and submit an online application to the government for approval.

    As a result of not having the required infrastructure, some colleges are asking the students to approach private Internet centres, which can be very expensive for the students as most of them are from the economically weaker sections of society.
