Mukesh Ambani donates ₹151 crore to alma mater ICT
MUMBAI: Industrialist Mukesh Ambani on Friday announced an unconditional grant of ₹151 crore to his alma mater, the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT, formerly UDCT), Mumbai. The donation was made in honour of Prof M M Sharma, on the occasion of the release of his biography Divine Scientist, published in both Marathi and English. Ambani shared personal memories of Prof Sharma, recalling how the first lecture he attended by him shaped his path. 'Like my father Dhirubhai Ambani, he had a burning desire to change Indian industry from scarcity to global leadership,' said Ambani. 'These two bold visionaries believed that science and technology, in alliance with private entrepreneurship, would open the floodgates of prosperity.' Crediting the rise of the Indian chemical industry to Prof Sharma's efforts, Ambani called him a 'Rashtra Guru' and 'a Guru of Bharat.' Ambani said the ₹151 crore unconditional donation was his guru dakshina made as per Prof Sharma's instruction. 'When he tells us something, we just listen. We don't think,' Ambani said. The event was held at ICT's Pidilite Hall and presided over by senior nuclear scientist Anil Kakodkar. Several eminent scientists, including Raghunath Mashelkar, J B Joshi, Aniruddha Pandit, and G D Yadav, paid tribute to Prof Sharma's legacy in education and science. Divine Scientist was written in Marathi by Anita Patil and translated into English by Sonia Khare. Prof Sharma, who joined UDCT as a professor at 27, has dedicated over six decades to teaching and research. His former students, many of whom went on to become pioneers in Indian science, recalled his influence and humility.

Staff crisis hits environment studies at Ariyalur college in Tamil Nadu
ARIYALUR: Even as the world celebrated Environment Day on Thursday (June 5) with calls to protect nature and raise awareness, Environmental Science students of the Government Arts and Science College in Ariyalur rued the lack of permanent faculty or basic amenities, even though the subject is gaining more importance than before. The college, which has been functioning in Ariyalur town for more than 50 years, introduced the Environmental Science course over two decades ago. But since 2008, there has been no permanent appointments in the department. The Environmental Science course was started at the college in 1998 under UGC norms. Today, more than 150 students are studying in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. However, out of the 12 sanctioned teaching posts, not even one is filled by a permanent staff member. Only two guest lecturers and two appointed by Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) lecturers are handling the classes. There is not even a head for the department. The HoD of another department is holding additional charge. Due to the staffing crisis, students say they do not get regular classes. Instead, they are given only notes to study and prepare for exams. Practical classes are almost never held. Important lab equipment like the EC meter and spectrophotometer are not used, as there are no qualified staff to guide students. Despite filing several petitions to the college administration and higher education department authorities, students said no permanent appointments have been made. The students are dependent on guest lecturers, some of whom are alumnus of the college. Guest lecturers appointed by the college are given a consolidated salary of Rs 25,000 while those recruited by the PTA are given Rs 5,000.
