IIT-Kharagpur adopts 3-language formula with stress on Bengali
1 2 3 4 Kolkata: IIT Kharagpur has gone tri-lingual under current director Suman Chakraborty, with an emphasis on Bengali, to promote the importance of regional language and to communicate with non-faculty staff, including housekeepers, gardeners, and maintenance crew, "effectively, without any language barrier". Chakraborty himself has English, Bengali and Hindi on his name plates outside his office and bungalow. He is the first director to put up his name in Bengali. Chakraborty said, "I did it symbolically, to initiate a cultural transformation and to reflect a change in our thoughts, following the three-language formula mentioned in the National Education Policy 2020. I also asked the professor-in-charge of the Rajbhasha Vibhag to ensure there is a proper representation of English, Bengali, and Hindi in all the prominent places of the campus, including auditoriums, buildings, departments, and the Hijli Detention Camp, where there are frequent visitors. " He said, "The Hijli Detention Camp is known as the birthplace of IIT Kharagpur. But it looks odd that the immense contribution of our revolutionaries is not written in Bengali."

"Bengali has been neglected for long. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Jennifer Garner: From Farm Girl to Hollywood's Sweetheart Watch More Undo We must remember that the institution is in Bengal and there are many local non-teaching staffers who can read and write only Bengali. Our natural interaction with them is in Bengali, which is the regional language and mother tongue for many of us. Some of them may understand Hindi but cannot read it. Therefore, Bengali must be included in our communications and writings displayed for visitors to know about the campus." The director issued an order saying the tri-language policy will be implemented during foundation st-one laying ceremonies of infrastructural projects during the platinum jubilee celebration, which is set to begin from Aug 18, the foundation day of the institute. "The writings on the foundation stones will reflect the tri-language policy. It will promote our regional language as a medium of instruction and communication, and do away with the linguistic barrier," Chakraborty said.

Coimbatore corporation's plan to expand Vellalore ABC centre comes under a cloud
Coimbatore: AIADMK councillors, animal activists, rescuers, veterinarians, and NGOs have raised objections to the city corporation's allotment of 3 crore to improve and expand infrastructure at its animal birth control (ABC) centre at Vellalore. They have demanded that the estimate be scrutinized by experts. In its council meeting on July 31, the corporation passed a resolution allocating 1.99 crore for the construction of four new kennel bays at the ABC at Vellalore. Additionally, an estimate of 96.3 lakh was also allocated for establishing four operation theatres for stray dog sterilisation at the same centre. Another resolution was passed to allocate 71.5 lakh, with 50% contribution from the Operation and Maintenance Deficit Grants Funds 2025-26, for development work at the Vellalore ABC centre. "It is an open scam and it's high time the corporation holds itself accountable for misusing public money," AIADMK councillor (ward 47) R Prabhakaran said. A volunteer of an NGO associated with the corporation said to date, even basic facilities haven't been provided at the ABC centres run by the civic body. He said, "Even providing a fan is considered a luxury for NGOs. If they accommodate 20 dogs per kennel and plan to have four such kennels, the estimate is too high." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo A city-based animal rescuer emphasized that the estimate should be revised. "While there are many loopholes in the accountability of the sterilisation process itself, allocating huge funds for one centre is suspicious. They would just install ordinary tiles, build a compound wall with high fencing, and provide water facilities. Moreover, it won't generate any revenue but only expenses. It's doubtful whether the civic body is genuinely ready to spend on the service. " "It would hardly cost more than 20 lakh per kennel for a 5,000 sq ft area with sophisticated infrastructure like air conditioning," said a private animal breeder who owns a kennel on the city outskirts. Prabhakaran said, "The corporation is not setting up a multispecialty hospital but a facility for stray animals that will be released after 3-5 days. It could rather invest such a huge amount in road patch work, which is the need of the hour." Denying these allegations, corporation commissioner M Sivaguru Prabakaran said, "The corporation plans to construct a huge animal birth control centre at Vellalore with a capacity of 750 stray dogs. We are planning to increase the number of sterilizations. The accusations are baseless, "he said.
