What is Ragging?

Ragging is

Any conduct by any student or students whether by words spoken or written or by an act which has the effect of teasing, treating or handling with rudeness a fresher or any other student, or indulging in rowdy or indisciplined activities by any student or students which causes or is likely to cause annoyance, hardship or psychological harm

or to raise fear or apprehension thereof in any fresher or any other student or asking any student to do any act which such student will not in the ordinary course do and which has the effect of causing or generating a sense of shame, or torment or embarrassment

so as to adversely affect the physique or psyche of such fresher or any other student,

with or without an intent to derive a sadistic pleasure or showing of power, authority or superiority by a student over any fresher or any other student;

In any educational institution or any part of it thereof, including its elements, including, but not limited to, the departments, constituent units, colleges, center of studies and all its premises, whether academic, residential, playgrounds, or canteen whether located within the campus or outside, and in all means of transportation of students, whether public or private, accessed by students for the pursuit of studies in such institutions.

Sujit Majhi (1999-2003 batch) is suffering from "Syringomyelia"

Mr Sujit Majhi (1999-2003 batch) is now a Ph.D student in IARI. He is suffering from "Syringomyelia", a disorder in which a cyst or cavity forms within the spinal cord. His two legs are paralysed due to this disease. He might need a surgery for the treatment which requres around 2-3 lakhs of money. Now he is in BBSR. I think we the CACians should contribute some money for his surgery/treatment. Plz publish this shocking news on CACALUMNI site and open a bank account so that people can donate money if they want to. Sujit bhai's mobile no-09968700370.

Developing ORYZA 1N for Medium- and Long-Duration Rice: Variety Selection under Nonwaterstress Conditions

ABSTRACT

  There is a need to increase the rice production in nonwaterstressed rice-growing areas during the wet season in Asia by the use of a suitable combination of a medium- or long-duration variety and appropriate nutrient management strategy. The crop growth simulation model ORYZA 1N was used for variety selection and N optimization in nonwaterstress conditions. Selection was made from 12 released rice varieties of 115 to 150 d duration. The model was calibrated using input data from field experiments that were conducted during the wet season (June–November) of 2001 at the Central Rice Research Institute, Cuttack, India. In the medium-duration varieties (115–130 d), there was good agreement between simulated and observed leaf
area index, biomass, and grain yield. The simulated biomass of longduration varieties (135–150 d) showed large deviation from observed biomass at flowering. In the wet season of 2000, the model accurately predicted the grain yield, biomass, and leaf area index of medium- and
long-duration varieties. When the ORYZA 1N model was used to simulate the effect of planting dates on rice yield, it predicted the decline in yield with late planting. It was recommended that farmers consider planting new variety Ranjit in the favorable lowlands that do not have water stress during the wet season and should apply 80 kg N ha21 in four equal splits at transplanting, active tillering, panicle initiation, and flowering. Technology verification trials of this practice conducted during the wet season of 2002 produced 5.51 Mg ha21 of rice, compared with 4.36 Mg ha21 grown with the conventional practices of area farmers.

IS IT CHANGING DUE TO GIRLS / BOYS.

 

LASTLY I FEEL THAT ITS ONLY DUE TO COPERATION BETWEEN THE GIRLS AND BOYS AND ALSO WITH THE STAFFS......PLZ PLZ PLZ CREAT A GREEN , HEAVEN , PEACE CHIPLIMA....AT END MY HERTY REGARDS TO ALL OF MY CACIANS

 

How to decide when it is the right time to change a job

One of the issues confronting employees is when is the right time to change a job?

 

Several employees fall prey to changing jobs quite often and in the process they lose their way in the corporate world

 

The short term lure for changing a job is very high and employees change jobs for the heck of joining a new company and fall to what I call as a “blind path”

 

It is important to keep the following yardsticks in mind before changing a job:

 

·        Am I happy with my present job?

·        Am I motivated to come to my work place every day morning?

·        Am I motivated and content with the 9 hours which I spend at my work place without looking at the watch for the office hours to get over?

·        Do I foresee career growth for myself in my present company?

 

If the answer to most of the above questions is yes than one should continue with the present job

 

There is nothing like an ideal organization, every organization has its merits and demerits you have to define for yourself what motivates and propels you

 

Regards
