Ludhiana It was an impromptu meeting that helped the students of Punjab Agricultural University interact with not only PAU officials but the member of PAU Board Of Management something that they rarely get to do. The occasion was Lohri, atmosphere casual and issues were discussed over cups of tea, rewaries all the while sitting around bonfire.

While Jang Bahadur Singh Sangha, a member PAU of Board of Management, urged the students, “Help prepare a blueprint which can help us to run students’ affair better.” Students’ leader Gurpreet Singh Brar, who is president of PAU Students Association, using the moment to his advantage urged the authorities, “to form a centralised system which could address various issues of the students. The present scenario is that all the matters related to us are being handled by different people which makes it very difficult for us students to solve a simple problem. Thus we need a centralised system, a single window kind of thing where all matters related to us students are handled.” He also asked the authorities to help create more placements for the university pass-outs.

The meeting was organised by Ranjit Singh Gill alias Kuki, who has just re-joined PAU to complete his masters in Plant Breeding. “Our basic idea was to close the gap between the PAU authorities and the students. Problems arise when there is a gap in communication. By holding such meetings where atmosphere is casual, the students feel free to express their opinion and authorities too can put forward their constraints, if any. Moreover such gatherings motivate the students to strive further just as a well-known wheat breeder, Dr Bikram Singh Gill motivated the students to strive for excellence in life.”

Sangha, who is a pass-out of the university, meanwhile, called for, “closer working relationship between the students and the authorities. Thus the university is one of the premier institutes of the nation and we should all work to maintain the dignity of this university just as that.” The function was also attended by Dr RK Mahey, Registrar, PAU, and Dr SK Mann, Dean, Post-graduate Studies, PAU.
