2nd day of 47th Annual Convention of Chemists 2010 and International Conference on Recent Advances in Chemistry at RSU
Raipur, December 24, 2011
An individual’s surrounding is called environment that includes living and non-living things around him. The non-living components of environment are land, water and air. The living components are germs, plants, animals and people. A change in any component of the environment can cause discomfort and affect normal life. Any unfavorable change or degeneration in the environment is known as environmental pollution. In the backdrop of fast industrialisation and large number of research works being done in every nation, every human should attempt to make his environment pollution free for the next generation. The information about the environment was given by Swami Vedjananda from Heritage Institute of Technology Kolkata during analytical and environmental chemistry session on the second day of the five-day 47th Annual Convention of Chemists 2010 and International Conference on Recent Advances in Chemistry organised by Indian Chemical Society Kolkata and hosted by Pt Ravishankar Shukla University (RSU) on Friday.
“To protect the environment, we must take care of our land, water resources, forests and atmosphere. Besides, we would have to ensure a balance between these resources and living creatures, to meet our requirements,” Swami Vedjananda said.

NSUI state prez warns of self immolation
Demands from RSU to roll back exam fee hike
Raipur, December 24, 2010
The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) has demanded from Pt Ravishankar Shukla University (RSU) to roll back the exam fee hike. The NSUI members led by their state president Sanjeev Shukla submitted a memorandum to the varsity vice chancellor Professor SK Pandey along with their other demands related to the exam forms and fee on Friday.
Shukla has warned the varsity administration that if the NSUI’s demands would not be fulfilled in next 24 hours, he would immolate himself either before the RSU administrative office or in front of vice chancellor’s residence.
He informed that since varsity had not sent sufficient number of examination forms to the colleges affiliated to it, the last date of form distribution should be extended to January 7, 2011. Notably, Friday (December 24, 2010) was the last date to distribute exam forms.
“Due to insufficient exam forms in the RSU affiliated colleges in other cities and remote areas, several people were selling such forms at higher rates,” Shukla said. The cost of one form is Rs 100, but in some places the students had to pay Rs 300 to obtain such forms.
Shukla informed how the Rajnandgoan’s Mohla College administration was charging Rs 200 additional for exam forms on pretext of janbhagidari fee (public participation fee). “The particular college had already taken janbhagidari fee from the students in the beginning of the academic session during admission but they were taking the fee for the second time,” said Shukla.
