New Army chief: EC call this week


Search abandoned for landslip survivors

Rescue teams abandoned the search for survivors on Saturday after a landslip buried a hillside village in northern Afghanistan, killing at least 300 people under a fast-moving tide of rock and mud.
The landslip in the Argo district of Badakhshan left little evidence of the hundreds of homes it swept away at about midday (0730 GMT) after days of heavy rain.

When private institutions are willing to put in infrastructure and comply by the regulator’s norms, how can you stop them from being set up, said S.S. Mantha, Chairman, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), on the recent one-year moratorium by University Grants Commission on setting up new engineering colleges.
Based on the number of students who will enter higher education institutions, he said, expansion was required.
One of the challenges, he said, was the lack of metrics and planning, as a result of which they are unable to tie in the produce from the colleges to the available opportunities for students outside in the commercial world.
