Banaras Hindu University
(BHU) vice-chancellor Prof Ajit Kumar Chaturvedi on Saturday urged the university officials to work towards strengthening the institution's positive perception among stakeholders by ensuring greater administrative efficiency and accountability.
Addressing key officials of the central registry at a review meeting, Prof Chaturvedi emphasised the need to reduce procedural delays and foster a responsive work culture. "While we all walk an extra mile to perform our duties, we must ensure that delays or bureaucratic procedures do not impact the overall efficiency of the institution," he stated. The meeting was attended by joint registrars, deputy registrars, assistant registrars, the controller of examination, and additional controllers of examination.
Registrar Prof Arun Kumar Singh briefed the vice-chancellor on key administrative tasks and challenges being faced across departments. In response, Prof Chaturvedi called for fast-tracking critical processes and setting clear timelines to achieve institutional goals. "Fast-tracking administrative duties should be a norm and not an exception," he added.
He urged officers to remain committed to making the right decisions and highlighted the importance of inter-departmental coordination. "Constant communication among units is key to resolving shared challenges," he noted.

Why Aries is the most misunderstood sign in astrology
When someone says Aries, most people picture a hothead. Loud. Impulsive. The one who picks a fight in a group and leaves mid-argument. But that's only half the story. Aries isn't misunderstood because it's aggressive. Instead, it's misunderstood because no one sticks around long enough to see the layers underneath the fire. Let's find out why Aries is the most misunderstood sign of the zodiac - Not Anger, but urgency Aries isn't angry all the time. It's just wired for motion. They feel things in real time and respond just as quickly. While many can confuse this as impatience, that's just their way of not letting life slip through their fingers. Most people overthink. Aries just acts. All action, no pause? Not quite Aries gets marked as the one who leaps before looking, but there's more behind that first-mover energy. The sign is powered by Mars, so charging ahead is practically in their bones. But what people rarely notice is how most Aries are just trying to clear a path for everyone else who's too nervous to start. Their so-called 'impatience' is usually just a refusal to watch dreams collect dust. The soft center no one talks about Under the armor and bravado, Aries carry a softness rarely discussed. Many are the first to offer help, even to the people they just debated with five minutes earlier. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Blood cancer is taking our curious baby away from us! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo Underneath all that 'me first' energy is a giant need to protect and prove themselves, especially for the people they care about. Anger flares fast, but so does forgiveness. Loyalty that's loud If an Aries cares about you, they'll defend you like it's a sport. They won't always say the right thing, but they'll fight for you, even when you don't ask them to. That intensity can be too much for some. But for Aries, it's the bare minimum. So no, Aries isn't just the zodiac's wild card. It's the spark that keeps things real, fast, and fiercely loyal, even if the world only sees the fire and not the fight behind it.

Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, and Capricorn: Top zodiac signs known for unwavering loyalty
The traits associated with each zodiac sign often shape how individuals connect and commit in relationships. A recent spotlight on Nail Pro South Windsor highlights the four star signs celebrated for their steadfast loyalty—to loved ones, friends, and family. 1. Taurus – The Steadfast Companion Ruled by Venus and grounded by earth, Taurus is widely recognized for its reliable and consistent nature. Once a Taurus commits to being a friend, partner, or family member, they remain unwavering, valuing honesty, security, and long-term relationships. Their loyalty is rooted in a deep sense of responsibility and protectiveness. 2. Cancer – The Devoted Caregiver Ruled by the Moon and nurtured by emotional depth, Cancer embodies loyalty through empathy and devotion. Known as the zodiac's caretaker, they intuitively sense and support the needs of their loved ones, often prioritizing others' emotional well-being above all else. 3. Scorpio – The Fiercely Loyal Defender Scorpio, under the influence of Pluto, brings an intense, protective loyalty to their relationships. Though private and selective, once they trust someone, they stand with them through every storm. Scorpios demand the same depth in return and become fierce defenders of those they hold dear. 4. Capricorn – The Dependable Rock Modeled by Saturn's discipline and earth's practicality, Capricorn treats loyalty as a principle, not just a choice. These steadfast individuals take their commitments seriously and rarely break a promise. Whether providing practical support or moral guidance, Capricorns are often the foundation others rely on. Why loyalty matters and how to cultivate it While these four signs are frequently spotlighted for their steadfastness, loyalty itself transcends zodiac boundaries. Whether or not you're born under one of these signs, you can nurture loyalty by being emotionally present, consistent, and trustworthy. Investing in deep connections, honoring commitments, and supporting others authentically helps foster lasting bonds in any relationship.
