Cuddalore Students participate in campaign for blood donation
A State-wide mobile campaign for blood donation in Cuddalore on Wednesday.
CUDDALORE:
Blood is a vital fluid for the living as well as those struggling for life after an emergency such as an accident or a surgery. Its importance will be felt when there is a chronic need for blood and a frantic search for the suitable blood group to save a life, said U.Tamilarasi, a second-year undergraduate student in the Periyar Government Arts College here.
She reflects the concern shown by the youth in general for those who are in a critical condition to require blood transfusion. Ms. Tamilarasi was one among the group of students who turned up at Anna Stadium on Wednesday to become part of the State-wide campaign for blood donation, launched jointly by the Tamil Nadu AIDS Control Society and the National Blood Transfusion Council in connection with World Blood Donor Day (observed on June 14).
A National Service Scheme volunteer, Ms. Tamilarasi had come forward to donate blood for the first time. She dismissed the notion that blood donation would sap energy because the body would recoup the requisite quantity of blood within 36 hours. Her classmate S.Krishnaveni too was of the view that by taking nutritious food the donated blood could be replenished. It was a soothing thought for them that the donated blood would save the life of someone, somewhere. They would not mind donating blood whenever called for.
For S.Muthukumaran, final-year diploma student of Krishnaswamy Polytechnic College, it was the maiden blood donation. Soon after donating blood, he munched biscuits and gulped down the soft drink and a bottle of drinking water supplied by the organisers. Two ultramodern air-conditioned buses equipped with pushback cushioned seats and cold storage facilities are touring the State, in two different directions — south and north — to collect blood from voluntary donors ever since June 14, and the trip would culminate in Chennai on July 2.
A medical team is being deployed from the district headquarters government hospital to collect the blood from the donors, and at the end of the day, the entire collection would be handed over to the hospital concerned. From men, 350 ml of blood and from women 300 ml of blood each is being extracted. S.Vidyasankar, Medical Officer (Blood Bank), told The Hindu that after the blood swabs were collected by using fresh needle for each candidate, the blood grouping was determined.
Those in the age group of 18 to 65 years, weighing 45 kg and above, and having Hb count of 12 gm/dl and a blood pressure of 90/60 to 160/100 could donate blood once in three months in the case of male and once in four months in case of female (Because of the menstrual cycle it might require one more month for women to recoup the blood). Dr. Vidyasankar further said that after a thorough screening blood free from the symptoms of five diseases such as HIV, HBsAg and HAC (two types of hepatitis), malaria and VDRL (venereal diseases) would be put to use.

Post poll, Cuddalore Silver beach offers break from monotony
cool splash: People thronging the Silver Beach in Cuddalore on Sunday.
CUDDALORE:
There was an unusually large gathering at the Silver Beach here on Sunday. Of course, summer vacation for educational institutions and sultry weather conditions drove the people to the shores to savour the balmy sea breeze and to virtually cool their heels in the waves.
But another factor that had induced the people to flock to the sea front was the lifting of the month-long police bandobust at the Periyar Government Arts College on Beach Road that served as one of the counting centres in the district and where the Electronic Voting Machines of the four Assembly constituencies — Cuddalore, Panruti, Neyveli and Kurinjipadi — were kept in safe custody in the strong rooms.
The police blocked the Beach Road and diverted the traffic through alternative routes. Hence, the round-the-clock presence of security personnel acted both as physical and psychological barriers for the holiday-makers that in turn acted as a disincentive in making a trip to the Silver Beach. Now, with the 30-day long suspense over the outcome of the elections having ended, the people felt relieved and decided to take the well-deserved break from the monotony of the mundane chores and spend some time with family and friends on the beach.
The mercury too was soaring from 25 degree Celsius (at dawn) to 36 degree Celsius. In the midst of dog days, known for harsh weather, and power cuts lasting three hours at a stretch in a day the people really needed a respite from the unrelenting heat. And, unfailingly, the Silver Beach provided them the much-needed recreational avenue. The police and the fire personnel posted at the beach head had a tough time in keeping the eager visitors from getting deeper into the sea.
There were a number of whistle-blowers who kept a watch and cautioned the over-enthusiastic persons from venturing into the sea beyond the safe limit. Vendors of eatables made a brisk business. There were the ubiquitous stray dogs that shared the sandy stretch of the beach with the visitors who had to constantly shoo away the intruding quadruples from sniffing their food packets. The visitors feel that particularly on a crowded day as today the officials should keep a strict watch on the snack vendors, particularly, the cooking medium they use and how often they change it. The fish-shaped fountains that greet the visitors to the beach do not spout any water and remain dry.

Victory celebration expenses of candidates to be credited to poll accounts
CUDDALORE:
Expenses incurred on victory celebrations of candidates winning the Assembly elections will also be credited to their respective poll accounts, according to P. Seetharaman, District Electoral Officer and Collector.
Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, Mr. Seetharaman said that since the candidates were given 30 days time after the counting of votes to submit their poll accounts, the money spent by the successful candidates on throwing parties or hosting feasts, bursting firecrackers and taking out victory rallies would also be accounted for.
Mr. Seetharaman said that there are three counting centres :
Periyar Government Arts College in Cuddalore (where the votes polled in the Cuddalore, Kurinjipadi, Panruti and Neyveli constituencies would be counted);
B.Mutlur Government Arts College (Chidambaram, Bhuvanagiri and Kattumannarkoil constituencies); and,
Kolanjiappar Government Arts College at Vriddhachalam (Thittakudi and Vriddhachalam constituencies).
Counting would begin at 5 a.m. on May 13 with the manual draw of lots (and not the computerised randomisation as was done for allocating polling stations to the officials) by the general election observer for allocation of counting centre for the officials, and, at 6 a.m. the Assembly segment and the table number to which they would be posted would be determined, again by lots.
The officials should report to the respective counting centre to take oath at 8 a.m. to the effect that they would safeguard the secrecy of voting. Mr. Seetharaman said that those who failed to honour the oath or violated the secrecy law would have to undergo three months rigorous imprisonment or penalty or both. Mr. Seetharaman said that ballot boxes containing postal votes would be shifted to the respective counting centres with police escort at 6 a.m. These postal votes would be taken up for counting at 7.30 a.m.
There would be 10 to 12 tables for each Assembly segment and even though the serial number of EVMs to be counted on every table had been tabulated, the general election observer would randomise the EVM selection for each table. After every round of counting, the display of total votes polled would be recorded on web-camera fitted laptops.
After getting the concurrence of the general election observer, the candidate-wise votes polled in every round would be displayed on LCD screens and notice board put up at the counting centres. The candidates or their agents are not allowed to carry cell phones inside the counting centres. They should not carry water bottles, food, or any sharp-edged weapon, Mr. Seetharaman said.

Tight security at counting centres
ROUND-THE-CLOCK VIGIL:Collector P. Seetharaman inspecting the counting centre in Periyar Government Arts College in Cuddalore on Wednesday.
CUDDALORE:
For the purpose of providing foolproof security to the counting centres, three zones have been earmarked, namely inner perimeter, middle perimeter and outer perimeter, according to P. Seetharaman, Collector and District Electoral Officer.
He made this observation to The Hindu after inspecting the security arrangements along with Superintendent of Police Ashwin Kotnis at Periyar Government Arts College, serving as the counting centre for four Assembly constituencies such as Cuddalore, Panruti, Neyveli and Kurinjipadi, on Wednesday.
The Collector said that the inner perimeter was the zone where the electronic voting machines were kept in strongrooms and guarded by the armed personnel of the Central Para Military Forces (CPMF) and the Tamil Nadu Special Police (TSP) Force. One laptop each had been placed in front of every strongroom, in which the EVMs from a particular Assembly constituency were kept, to monitor round the clock the activities through web camera.
Mr. Seetharaman said that all those entering the inner perimeter, including himself, the SP and election observers, would affix their signature and time of entry and exit in a register. In the middle perimeter, TSP personnel had been stationed and also representatives of the candidates of various political parties. The watchtowers too had been erected in this zone and armed guards posted. In the outer perimeter, that is, outside the campus, local police personnel had been deployed. Mr. Seetharaman said that no procession or meeting would be allowed within one-km radius of the counting centres.
Uninterrupted power supply and flood-light arrangements too had been made in each of the centres. Striking force personnel and fire service personnel too had been kept ready, he added.
Polls put government colleges in a predicament
CUDDALORE:
The Assembly elections have put government colleges in a predicament as they have invariably doubled up as examination and counting centres.
Therefore, even though in the midst of conducting the academic year-end university examinations, these colleges would have to provide adequate space for accommodating the electronic voting machines and the security personnel till the counting is over.
In playing the dual role, these colleges are facing practical difficulties and logistic problems. For instance, three government arts colleges in Cuddalore district such as Periyar Government Arts College located near the Silver Beach and two others at Vriddhachalam and Chidambaram are the designated counting centres for the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections. Hitherto, these colleges have never faced such a piquant situation as of now, mainly because of the extended schedule for counting slated for May 13, exactly a month after the polling was over on April 13.
Students and lecturers are seen going hither and thither inside Periyar Government Arts College, unmindful of the security drill and the armed personnel perching atop the watchtowers erected on the college campus. It defies the notion that the counting centres are the heavily guarded fortresses that cannot be easily accessed by commoners. Of the three wings of the college, the middle one has been taken over by the election authorities to be used as strongrooms for storing the EVMs of the four Assembly constituencies such as Cuddalore, Panruti, Kurinjipadi and Neyveli.
While the first wing has been used as the administrative block, the third one is serving as examination centre. The students, numbering over 6,000, have been visiting the college in batches to take the examinations. Hence, the college has been bubbling with activity throughout the day. The security personnel at the main entrance verify their identity cards before allowing them inside and the lecturers are also subjected to the same rigour. Principal in-charge of the college K. Renganathan told The Hindu that after the EVMs were stored, the movement of the staff and students was restricted.
On April 16, the students who did not bring their identity cards had difficulty in entering the college to get their hall tickets and, therefore, each of them had to be personally identified by the lecturers for gaining entry. A farewell party to be hosted in honour of two retiring professors on April 19 could not be held owing to opposition from political parties in holding any such event on the college premises. Mr. Renganathan further said that given the large number of students neither the examinations could be postponed nor could the venue be changed.
Moreover, under the Thiruvalluvar University, there were 96 colleges all of which would have to complete the examinations, take up the valuation work, publish the results and start the admission procedures for the coming academic year within a time frame. Therefore, to avoid any further complication in this aspect, the university had allowed the colleges to conduct the examinations in two spells - one from April 16 to May 10, and, another from May 16 to 21. On an average, about 1,000 students were sitting for the examination every day, he said.
Superintendent of Police Ashwin Kotnis said that since the strongrooms were fully secured there need not be any concern over their safety. Other than the entry of students, the thoroughfares running along these colleges were either cordoned off or vehicular traffic was diverted.

Overcoming hurdles to achieve their goal
Talented lot:Residents of Seva Illam in Cuddalore.
CUDDALORE:
For 47 residents of the Cuddalore Seva Illam, laurels do not come in a trickle but in a deluge. All of them, in the age group of 13 to 19, have made their mark in national football competitions and some of them have even won accolades in international events.
Yet they are not swept away by the honours but have their feet firmly on the ground because they have seen the vicissitudes of life. For, most of them are orphans, having lost both the parents, while some of them have mothers who cannot take care of their wards as the latter are invalids. Two of them are studying in Periyar Government Arts College and 45 in the Government Girls Higher Secondary School at Old Town. They are fired by the zeal to achieve success in both studies and games.
Despite only frugal meals being available – they have pongal in the mornings and a measure of cooked rice with rasam and buttermilk for lunch and supper – they are brimming with confidence. For instance, eight girls, S. Radha, K. Radhika, K. Sumitra, R. Ranjitha, K. Thenmozhi, J. Thenmozhi, S. Varalakshmi and K. Indumathi, played the Under-14 international football events at Vietnam and Colombo in 2008-2009. Besides proving her mettle in Japan, K. Thenmozhi was adjudged India's Best Emerging Football Player in the 2006 national football event for having scored 13 goals. In the Asian football event for Under-16 held at Amman, Jordan, in 2010 Sumitra, Radhika and Radha represented India.In January 2011, Radhika, Radha, Ranjitha and J. Thenmozhi won gold for Tamil Nadu in the National Women Football competitions held at Aurangabad in Maharasthra.
Having spotted their talent, the Indira Gandhi Academy of Sports and Education (IGAS) has virtually adopted them and the IGAS office-bearers, including president S. Manivannan, secretary S. Mariappan and treasurer K. Thirumalai, have been providing training the girls for three to four hours a day . The Academy has also procured kits, including the spike shoes, shorts and stockings for them. It also provides them nutritious food, including eggs, bananas and sprouted grains. Mr Mariappan says that they are technically sound but physically no match for their northern counterparts. But by sheer grit and will power, they carry on. They also face difficulties in getting passports as the parents of many of them are not alive eopardising their chances of participating in many international events.
Fr. I. Ratchagar, Principal of St. Joseph's Arts and Science College, has offered to give admission to the girls in the undergraduate courses in his institution. It is the ambition of at least three girls namely Radhika, Radha, R.Ranjitha and Thenmozhi to become I.A.S. officers. Having scored an avalanche of goals in football, it may not be difficult for them to achieve this singular goal in life.

Guest lecturers observe fast
CUDDALORE:
Guest lecturers of Periyar Government Arts College here observed a fast on the campus on Tuesday.
Cuddalore chapter president of the Guest Lecturers' Association, P. Natesan, said that they were serving in the same capacity for the past six years. They were getting only a consolidated pay of Rs. 6,000 a month. From January 2010, they were not given any pay. Mr. Natesan said the Madras High Court had stated that the guest lecture concept should be dispensed with and only lecturers on a regular basis should be appointed. But, the services of the guest lecturers were not yet regularised. Rather, in the past three years, the Teachers' Recruitment Board had appointed 2,600 lectures to various government colleges. They were mostly drawn from private colleges whereas the guest lecturers already serving in the government colleges were ignored. At least 1,500 guest lecturers were thrown out of job so far. It was the plea of the Association that whenever vacancies in regular jobs arise, guest lecturers should be absorbed and their services regularised. On Monday, the guest lecturers of Kolanjiappar Government Arts College at Vriddhachalam and those at Sri Karumariamman Government Arts College at C.Mutlur, near Chidambaram, boycotted classe

Awareness rally on Tamil conference
Periyar Government Arts College students taking out a rally in Cuddalore on Monday.
CUDDALORE:
Students of the Periyar Government Arts College here took out a rally to create awareness of the World Classical Tamil Conference scheduled to be held at Coimbatore in June.

Thangarasu, vice-chairman Thamarai Selvan and faculty members participated in it.Speakers dwelt at length on ancient heritage and culture of Tamil Nadu.
Quoting from literary works, they highlighted the richness of Tamil language. The “classical language status” conferred on the language had restored its past glory, they said. The world conference would see a congregation of scholars from around the globe analysing and scrutinising the evolution of Tamil and how best it could serve the contemporary developments in the scientific and technical fields, the speakers said.
