Engg faculty to get Aadhaar-verified ID
Chennai: To prevent ghost faculty members in engineering colleges and other institutions, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) will soon issue Aadhaar-authenticated IDs to all 6.5 lakh faculty members working in professional colleges across India. Speaking to The Times of India, AICTE chairman T G Sitharam said the Union education ministry will issue a gazette notification for creating new IDs for faculty members. "We have already approached the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and they have accepted the proposal. It will remove the ghost faculty issue," Sitharam said. Following an expose by an anti-corruption NGO, Anna University found that around 2,000 faculty positions were wrongly shown as filled by engineering colleges for 2024-25. These faculty members were found to be working in multiple institutions at the same time.

When asked about the impact of removing the cap, Sitharam said, "Good institutions that have teachers and good placements are getting more students." On the increased interest in joining engineering courses, he said, "It is mainly due to the rise in campus placements. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Hurt in an Accident? Read This vividtrendlab Undo According to the data submitted by the colleges, 95% of students studying computer science engineering were placed last year, while other branches recorded 65% placements." To overcome the faculty shortage in computer-related courses, AICTE has taken various initiatives. Highlighting those initiatives, Sitharam said, "AICTE has introduced a PG certification programme for core engineering faculty members to train them in emerging areas. They are not being transferred but allowed to take a course after completing a course. Further, we have introduced associate professors of practice and assistant professors of practice to attract industry experts from emerging areas. They can fill up to 20% of the faculty requirement through industry experts." While the professors of practice need 15 years of experience, an assistant professor of practice and associate professor of practice need five years and eight years of experience, which will enable the colleges to hire industry experts from emerging areas. He also stressed the need for continuous upgradation of the curriculum to teach industry-relevant topics to students. AICTE has also introduced the Centre for Engineering Education Excellence to upskill engineering faculty members in partnership with IITs and the Indian National Academy of Engineering. "We are planning to train 4,000 teachers from engineering colleges in the tier-two and tier-three colleges in the next three years," Sitharam said.

Zoological Survey of India develops DNA barcodes for 169-year-old spiny tree mouse species
Bengaluru: Nearly two centuries after discovering a species in the biological hotspot of the Western Ghats, scientists from Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) successfully generated DNA barcodes for the Malabar spiny tree mouse (Platacanthomys lasiurus) — often hailed as a 'living fossil'. The DNA barcoding, similar to generating an Aadhaar number for citizens, paves the way for a comprehensive understanding of the evolutionary history of these species. Sources in ZSI told TOI though the species was discovered in 1856, it had no individual identity as a species and was categorised under the subfamily of Typhlomys, the Chinese pygmy dormouse, due to similar features. However, scientists have now successfully uncovered the polymorphism features of these species. "The DNA barcoding and generation of the genetic data for these mouse species have established that these species are much more ancient than their Chinese counterparts that were documented in recent centuries," said Dr KP Dinesh, a scientist from ZSI, western regional centre, Pune. These frugivorous species live in tree holes and are nocturnal in nature. "They are distributed across forests between Kodagu in Karnataka and Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala. Unlike all the species that have undergone morphological changes as part of evolution, these spiny tree mice have not undergone any change. Hence, they are referred to as living fossils," explained Dr Dinesh.

Hence, the present lineage of Platacanthomys could be a relict taking refuge in the hill ranges of the Western Ghats, whose ancestors might have gone extinct due to various geological events in the past," he said. The latest specimen of the Malabar spiny tree mouse was sourced from Suryamudi in Wayanad district of Kerala during a periodic survey on small mammals. Subsequently, scientists from ZSI's western regional centre, Western Ghats regional centre in Kozhikode, and southern regional centre in Chennai collaborated for the study and published the findings in the Journal of Animal Diversity. Dr Dhiriti Banerjee, director of ZSI, said this genetic data on these historic and enigmatic species is vital, especially in the backdrop of climate change. Dr SS Talmale, the lead author, highlighted the immediate need for targeted habitat conservation of these species that live within 50 metres to 2,270 metres altitude. "They have already been listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List and protected under Schedule II of the Wildlife Act 1972," he pointed out. Another scientist, Dr MJ Palot, described it as a very elusive and rare species. "Despite years of fieldwork, I have seen it only a few times, and the recovery of a specimen at Suryamudi is indeed a rare chance."
