![]() Students demonstrated at the college gate the next dayJanuary 2002 : A union member was beaten up with bricks near the hostel. He had to be rushed to the Calcutta Medical CollegeDecember 2001: Scuffle broke out between students during ward elections in the hostel. I hope that better sense prevails among students,â€� said Satya Sadhan Chakraborty, minister, higher education.The recent clashes at Hindu HostelAugust 2001: A student tried to commit suicide after a volleyball match between ward number 5 and 6. “I am waiting for the decision that will be taken after the Teachers’ Council meeting. But senior CPI(M) leaders admit that it is virtually impossible as most toprung leaders have graduated in politics from the same campus. The need to strip Hindu Hostel of its political colours is being felt even in the corridors of Alimuddin Street. We even submitted a deputation but the principal refused to budge,â€� said Jishnu Dasgupta, convenor, IC.According to students, boarders of Eden Hindu Hostel are still guided by strong politically motivated students. The principal was gheraoed again and Presidency College was declared closed. It was decided that Sarkar would be suspended for 15 days and submit a written apology to the principal for his misbehaviour.“The apology never came and we decided to agitate. Later, IC members gheraoed the principal demanding that Sarkar be punished immediately. Pushpal was allegedly beaten up by Ankush Sarkar, an SFI member and a third year student. Ghosh apparently went around telling the guardians of the new boarders that they should discourage wards to join the SFI. Situations had taken a turn for the worse after SFI came to power after around two decades.On Monday, Pushpal Ghosh, an IC member, decided to do things rather differently. Most students admitted that it was a minor scuffle between two students which was “unnecessarily blown out of proportionâ€�.Hindu Hostel sees a mad scramble among IC and SFI at the time of admissions to bring in freshers to their fold. “Even if there’s a minor scuffle between rival unions in the hostel, it snowballs into a major conflict on Presidency College campus.In 90 per cent of the cases it becomes a prestige issue between the unions,â€� said Deep Narayan Chakraborty, a third year PG student and a Hindu Hostel boarder. I have already apologised for the misbehaviour of our member,â€� said Sujoy Ray, general secretary, Presidency College, Students Union.Most students admitted that Hindu Hostel was enjoying an “undeservedâ€� status in Calcutta University politics. All this to appease the students and to restore their tainted image.Both Independents’ Consolidation and the Students Federation of India said they had actually asked the principal not to close down the college for a “minor incidentâ€� at Hindu Hostel.“We don’t want the college to be closed due to what happened at the hostel. ![]() Students are reportedly angry with the boarders of Hindu Hostel where a scuffle between two students forced the principal to close down the college on Thursday.Pushed to the wall, both the unions pressed the authorities to reopen the college on Friday. ![]() The easy yet highly phase selective green synthesis of the materials promises large scale industrial application in environmentally benign energy efficient lighting.TANMAY GHOSH AND SOUMYADIPTA BANERJEEThe Presidency College impasse has thrown open the flood-gates of student politics. The hexagonal nanomaterial shows a substantial quantum cutting efficiency (154%) whilst in the cubic material, the effect is negligible (107%). ![]() To the best of our knowledge, this kind of spontaneous phase transition is not yet reported. In the case of methylimidazolium bromides with longer pendant alkyl chains such as butyl (C4), octyl (C8) or decyl (C10), extremely small nanoparticles of the cubic polymorph form, which then convert even at room temperature (RT) to the thermodynamically favored hexagonal modification. When using Br, hexagonal NaGdF4 nanoparticles are obtained. Selective tuning of the shape, morphology and, most importantly, the crystal phase of the host lattice is achieved by changing the alkyl side length, the H-bonding capabilities and the concentration of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ILs, Br. Oxygen-free Eu(3+)-doped NaGdF4 nanocrystals with high quantum cutting efficiency are accessible at low temperatures (room temperature to 80 ☌) using task-specific ionic liquids (ILs) as structure directing agents and only water as solvent. ![]()
