Fee Hike Only for New Students of M. Tech in IITs :HRD

(New Delhi)Fee Hike Only for New Students of M. Tech in IITs :HRD
The Ministry of Human Resource Developments has issued a clarification regarding the news relating to the hike in the fee of M. Tech programme in IITs.
There is no fee hike for the existing students.
For new admissions, hike will be gradual over a period of three years or more, as will be decided by the respective Board of Governors of IITs.
Needy students will be provided necessary financial support.
All concessions and scholarships for SC/ST/OBC and others will continue without change.
The fee hike will discourage non-serious students, who after a few months of stay in IITs, leave the programme midway to take up employment or to prepare for competitive exams.
This drop out in the middle of the programme leads to wastage of coveted seats on the one hand and denies opportunity to other serious and meritorious students, on the other.
IITs will offer only those programmes that have demand in the market. This will ensure immediate placement after completion of the course.
Good and deserving students will be provided Teaching Assistantship/Scholarship.
The fee for the M.Tech. programmes in IITs have not been revised for a long time whereas the cost per student has gone up substantially.
The Ministry has assured to all future students who will come to study at IITs that no student will be deprived of opportunity for education because of weak financial condition.

प्याज़ अब उत्पादकों को भी रुलाएगा:निर्यात पर लगी रोक

(नयी दिल्ली) प्याज़ अब उत्पादकों को भी रुलाएगा:निर्यात पर लगी रोक
प्याज़ की कीमतों में आये उछाल से अभी तक उपभोक्ता के आंसू निकल रहे थे के अब केंद्र सरकार द्वारा प्याज़ के निर्यात पर पाबंदी लगा दी है
उपभोक्ताओं के आंसू पोंछने के लिए बाजार में इसकी उपलब्धता बढ़ाने को यह कदम उठाया गया गया है।
वाणिज्य मंत्रालय के तहत आने वाले विदेश व्यापार महानिदेशालय (डीजीएफटी) ने अधिसूचना में कहा, ‘‘सभी किस्म के प्याज पर तत्काल प्रभाव से रोक लगा दी गई है।’’ डीजीएफटी आयात और निर्यात से संबंधित मुद्दों को देखता है।
इससे पहले 13 सितंबर को डीजीएफटी ने प्याज के निर्यात पर अंकुश के लिए 850 डॉलर प्रति टन का न्यूनतम निर्यात मूल्य (एमईपी) तय किया था। इस कदम का उद्देश्य घरेलू बाजार में प्याज कीमतों पर अंकुश लगाना था।
दिल्ली और देश के कुछ अन्य हिस्सों में प्याज का खुदरा दाम 60 से 80 रुपये प्रति किलोग्राम पर पहुंच गया है। महाराष्ट्र जैसे प्रमुख प्याज उत्पादक राज्यों में बाढ़ की वजह से इसकी आपूर्ति प्रभावित हुई है।
इस बीच, उपभोक्ताओं को राहत देने के लिए केंद्र सरकार अपने बफर स्टॉक से 50,000 टन प्याज निकाल रही है। सरकार ने पिछले महीने चेताया था कि प्याज की जमाखोरी करने वालों के खिलाफ कड़ी कार्रवाई की जाएगी।
