All are Invited
Dear Sir,
First of all I would like to inform you that this is not a complaint, rather you can take it as feedback.
Personally I and many others like me are really happy with the service Canara Bank is providing in the disbursement of various government fellowships in India. Probably that’s why HRD and UGC are assigning many such projects to this particular bank. But it has been observed that few branches have made their own rules in many regards. For example recently I called the Delhi main branch and came to know that there are no particular time for document submission, anyone can go within the banking hours and submit. But it’s not being followed causing trouble to students. One branch says that they will take documents in the last hour only. This is not practical as you have assigned only few branches in a state and students can’t wait for that particular time slot. If a student coming from a far off place then it’s really difficult to follow.
The other reason causing late when some official start prioritising works and say ‘we have other things to do, wait’. This is not fair at all. Thus, its humble request from me and on behalf of the whole group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/manfcandidates/) that please make sure any student can get into the branch anytime during working hours and submit his or her documents within few minutes. Hope this will be firmly implemented all over India as early as possible. Thank you.

Research Writing Workshop
March 28-29, 2014
Research is never a private individual activity isolated from the rest of the community; rather it is a social activity. If research is to realise the goal of expanding the horizon of knowledge, it is necessary to document and share the outcomes of one’s research with the wider community. The most desirable way of sharing one’s research is by way of writing and publishing in academic journals and monographs. This suggests that to be a good researcher, one should be able to write publishable research articles and monographs. Hence it is necessary that a researcher horns his/her writing skills. It is with this end in view that the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Delhi is organising a two-day Research Writing Workshop for PhD Scholars on 28 and 29 March 2014.
As beginners, research students often find writing an intimidating task. This could be due to various reasons: It could be the misunderstanding that a piece of writing emerges fully formed from the mind of the writer. Or it could be one’s obsession with writing something original. It could even be the fear of being criticised and the inability to accept and accommodate criticism. To overcome this, it is necessary to understand the processes of writing and the nature of the steps involved.
The workshop aims to help students develop writing habits and improve their writing so that they can develop their ideas systematically and coherently, and communicate them clearly and efficiently. Experts from academia, journal editors, and the editors from publishing houses will deliberate on the nature of research writing, issues involved, and ways of resolving the problems confronted in a systematic and step by step process.
They will introduce students to techniques of professional writing, ways of time-management in writing, ways of targeting readers, importance of citations and referencing as well as the methods of doing them, and finally the importance of professional ethics in writing and the ways of avoiding plagiarism and other ways of collusion in writing.
Researchers who are in the final stages of research are encouraged to attend the workshop. Those who wish to attend the workshop are required to send in their application along with a statement of purpose, a brief CV, and a copy of one of their unpublished papers. The selection will be made on the basis of a brief CV and the papers received. Submitted papers will be sent to reviewers and their comments and suggestions will be discussed in the workshop and made available to the selected participants. Outstation participants will be provided with TA and local hospitality.
Last date for the receipt of applications: 3rd March, 2014.
Date for the announcement of the list of participants: 8th March, 2014
The application must be sent to:
