UPSC aspirants to get one more chance: Govt

New Delhi:06.02.2021

The Centre on Friday told the Supreme Court that it was agreeable to grant one more chance to those civil services aspirants who took the exam last year during the pandemic and exhausted their number of attempts but said it would not grant another chance to those hit by the age bar.

The Centre’s response was filed in view of a clutch of petitions filed by students seeking one more chance to appear for examination on the ground that they could not prepare for the test due to the pandemic and were “forced” to appear as the government turned down their plea to defer the exam.

There were 3863 candidates who had exhausted their number of attempts while taking the test last year. TNN

GTU VC on Vidyapith VC search panel

GTU VC on Vidyapith VC search panel

Ahmedabad:06.02.2021

The University Grants Commission has appointed Navin Sheth, vice-chancellor of Gujarat Technological University, as the member of a search committee to appoint the new vice-chancellor of Gujarat Vidyapith.

The development came after UGC rejected the appointment of former registrar Rajendra Khimani as the new VC of the varsity, which was founded by Mahatma Gandhi in 1920. The commission was of the view that his appointment had been made without the presence of UGC representative in the search committee formed by Vidyapith.

"The appointment was rejected as the search committee formation flouted UGC norms. The process of selecting a VC will be carried out again," said a source aware of the development.

The term of outgoing VC Anamik Shah, which was supposed to end in December, has been extended till the new vice-chancellor takes charge.

Moves Court For Birth, Educational Documents With Male Identity

Ahmedabad:06.02.2021

A 31-year-old dentist has approached the Gujarat high court requesting to direct concerned authorities to change his gender identity from female to male and put his newly assumed name in the birth and education certificates after a successful sex reassignment surgery that transformed her from a woman to a man.

The Maninagar resident has mentioned in the petition that he was born a girl in a public hospital in Dhandhuka. “Although the petitioner was born as a girl, she behaved like a boy child and was comfortable and confident in male clothing,” he stated in the petition. It was submitted that he was diagnosed as a case of gender dysphoria. Upon obtaining expert opinion, the petitioner underwent a surgery in April 2018 successfully.

After the sex revision surgery, he has got all identification documents under his newly accepted male name and they all specifically mention his gender as a male. He has got an Aadhaar card, passport and driving licence in his new name which reflects his new male identity.

The problem arose when the civic body, concerned education authorities and the dentist council declined to issue educational certificates and birth certificates in his new name and gender. “If his name and gender are not changed in these documents, the same would cause great inconvenience to the petitioner,” the petition reads.

The dentist urged the HC to direct Dhandhuka municipality to change his name and sex from female to male in the birth certificate. He has also sought directions to the Gujarat State Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board and Bhavnagar University to make necessary changes in education certificates. He also wants the Gujarat State Dental Council to make changes in his registration certificate as a dentist.

The high court has issued notices to all these authorities and sought their replies. Further hearing is posted on February 18, said petitioner’s advocate Premal Joshi.

KOCHI: The Secretariat, the state administrative headquarters, is turning into a Covid-19 hotbed as more employees of various departments have been testing positive everyday of late. The employee associations have asked the government to increase the number of Covid tests in the Secretariat and limit the attendance of staff in various departments to 50% . So far, over 60 employees of various departments have tested Covid positive.

In the wake of the spread, the development hall of the finance department and housing co-operative society centre have been closed. Most of the affected staff are from the law and general administration departments as employees from both these departments had participated in the canteen administrative committee elections conducted recently violating all Covid-19 protocol norms.

Nearly 3,000 staff participated in the elections and this was the key reason for the quick spread of the virus. T Sreekumar, general secretary, Kerala Secretariat Employees Association, said the association has sent petitions to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Chief Secretary Vishwas Mehta to do the needful for preventing the Covid spread in the Secretariat.

“We have filed petitions so as to address the issue at the earliest. The finance department is completely closed. We are afraid that the virus would spread to employees in other departments and it will cause a crisis. We hope the government will take a positive stand. We have also urged the government to postpone the housing cooperative society’s elections due on March 10,” he said. The Left union which rules the society had earlier said the elections would be held following the Covid-19 protocol.

According to them, the election is overdue and a new panel needs to take charge. The tenure of the existing panel will end on April 24. Hence, the society has decided to hold the elections on March 10, adhering to the protocol and social distancing norms.

The society sought the approval from the State Election Commission to hold the elections under the supervision of the electoral officer and returning officer. Last week, a video of the employees making a beeline to cast their votes in the Secretariat canteen board elections presented an egg-on-the-face moment for the government that has been grappling with an unusually high number of active Covid-19 cases.

The video, apparently shot using a mobile camera, depicted employees swarming the Durbar Hall of the Secretariat flouting restrictions to cast their votes. Many were seen without masks or misplaced ones, while physical distancing was totally overlooked. The state has been witnessing a surge in Covid cases prompting the government to adopt tough measures once again.
