Nine IT-BHU students booked for violence

IT-BHUAs many as nine students of B.Tech (final year) in the Institute of Technology (IT), Banaras Hindu University, were accused of indulging in violence and sent to the Lanka police station.
According to Prof SN Upadhyaya, director, IT-BHU, students living in one of the hostels of the university indulged in violence on Thursday night. Later, the members of the Proctorial Board handed them over to the police after their identification. “The university would take appropriate disciplinary action against them if they are found guilty of committing violence within hotel premises,” he assured.
The students were about to leave for their homes in a couple of days and were celebrating their last few moments at IT-BHU with liquor and snacks. Some old rivalry lead to this incident. Probably they thought to sort it out before they left BHU.
Meanwhile, the Lanka police have lodged an FIR against the accused students. A number of students are also believed to have received injuries in the incident.
It might be mentioned here that the students had taken their final examinations this year and most of them had been selected in the campus interview held recently at the university. But after the incident all nine of them have lost their offers.

Kul Geet

Thanks for post from raashu777@gmail.com. The link was helpful and the video clipping melodius and entertaining, without doubt.

However, my point was the Presentation of Lyrics in Devnagari Script for Easy Reading. I for one would expect BHU to set High Standards of EXCELLENCE in whatever they do. The BENCHMARK should be the Best in the World such as Stanford, Harvard, IVY League etc., besides European & Japanese Universities. Whatever is put out on the Web MUST have EXCELLENCE as the watchword. Even a single small shoddy presentation in the Web brings down the Esteem of BHU in the outside world exponentially. The problem is carelessness, casualness, and total lack of genuine responsible Supervision of any matter put out on the Web. A competent Responsible WEBMASTER who will finally approve ALL web-related matters is the most Urgent Need of the hour.

Kul Geet

I was unable to read Kul Geet in Devnagari Script.
Too blurred and difficult.
Please SHARPEN every letter in Devnagari Script and Present Attractively so that it becomes a pleasure to read. Suggest letters should be like Title “Kul Geet” on this post.

Thanks
