It may be mentioned here that the award constituted by All India Agrawal Sammelan, New Delhi has been given to only six persons in the country so far.

Women play a special role in the overall development of the country. Universities should work towards women education and development of their skill and knowledge. Equal opportunity in education should be available to all. Such views were expressed by President Pratibha Devi Singh Patil while delivering the convocation speech at the Banaras Hindu University (BHU).

Highlighting the importance of education, she said it was education that ensured all-round development of a nation and brought prosperity. The educational institutions work like heart to energise all components of the society by producing skilled human resources, she said and added that it was the responsibility of the educational institutions to produce efficient students for the development of the nation and society. The level of university education is the yardstick to measure the progress and prosperity of a nation, she pointed out.

Expressing her concern, she said the country was passing through a challenging phase. “While on one hand there are problems like poverty, starvation and ailments despite prosperity, on the other hand challenges like organised crime and terrorist activities are also present,” she said adding in such a situation, the institutions of higher education would have to play a special role.

Patil also denounced the increasing trend of consumerism and greed that damaged the social fabric. “It is true that adequate money is needed to lead a good life, but one should earn money only through just means and also contribute towards social welfare,” she said. The increasing greed was escalating corruption and criminal tendency among the youth and it was a matter of serious concern, said the President. She further stated that the present era was the era of science and information technology. Developments and new inventions in the field might help in human welfare. “The universities of the country should give lay emphasis in research so that India could take a lead in science and technology,” she hoped.
Calling upon the youth to come forward to take part in the process of nation building, she said the future of India was in the hands of the youth. “I think that the educated youth have to play an important role in creating an atmosphere of equality and dispelling darkness of ignorance,” said the President adding that the youth would have to work in the interests of the nation, giving up their narrow self-interests.

She also highlighted the role of BHU and its founder Mahamana Madan Mohan Malviya in propagating value-based education. She congratulated the students who received their degrees at the convocation and exhorted them to follow the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi.

HI  FRIENDS…     This is high time in BHU… When HOLI comes, it brings rainbow color diversity to its beautiful campus. For a week .. the “EVER GREEN” tag of BHU changes to  a “VIBGYOR”. In the same time BHU lanes demands more foot steps.. but alas all its family members go for a long drive to all possible remotest corner of INDIA. All we left with vacant roads, empty campus bus, closed tea stalls in VT , occasional copules in MADHUVAN, and a hungry scene in Central Library. Still existing manpower try their best to overshow the pompous BHU strength and vigour. Beautiful lawns see their first wound on their surface,as all dig soil, make a perfectly tuned …well balanced Ph  ” SOIL SOLUTION”…( remember chemistry lab), douse it over as if BHU has provided free alcohol….then…then…then.. We all come to street starting from VT to LANKA GATE…. demand whole breadth of road as our “BIRTH RIGHT”…..Literaly (MINI road Blocked). All  unknown passer by become our BHAIYA or BHAUJI …really marvellous experience. One thing more important then this celebration…is we all remain virtually hungry..as all mess & hotels in lanka are closed. then MAGGI serves as our appetizer..

so friends come join together..we all will celebrate holi with a new vibrant spirit…

jai ho..har har mahadevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

 jj bhoi( IAS- BHU)

I was fortunate to be a part of Spandan, the annual youth fest of BHU. Unfortunately I didnt backed any prizes but the experience was far any explaination.

At Spandan, one thing I observed was that the faculty who organised a particular event grabbed prizes in the very same event. I wonder how ?? For example, if Institute A organised Essay Writing, participants from Insitiute A won Esaay Writing. It was the same with other events. I think the coordinators must note this.

Terrorism is the in thing. But we at BHU are peace lovers.
Dont get confused by the picture. The guy is not a member of Al-Quaida. He is merely a victim of Chemistry. It was a practical day at the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science and we were dealing with the stinky Benzoic Acid. The smell was so pungent that all the students moved at the top of the building to have some fresh air. Even that was not enough as the mixture needed to be stirred continously. So covering the face was the only way out. Thanks to Pawan (in the picture) for dealing with my experiment You must have noticed two beakers in front of him, one is actually mine :).

M.Sc counselling at Institute of Agricultural Sciences was on. It lasted for 12 hrs till 11PM. I never expected it to be so hectic.. Even the shops at VT were shut down and we were struggling for survival. I wish that the classes do not run in a similar fashion. Actually the number of candidates called were more than the staff could handle. Everyone was pleading to continue the next day but the administration turned deaf. They continued till 11 PM at night and we had a lot of problems in returning. Overall my experience at BHU this time was quite bitter.
