‘Refusal of or delay in issuing these documents against the directions of HC’
Tiruppur District Collector S. Vineeth warned private schools of strict action if they did not issue transfer certificate (TC) and marksheet to students, citing pending fees and other issues.
In a statement, he said the district administration and Chief Educational Officer had been repeatedly receiving complaints against some schools.
Refusal of or delay in issuing these documents by private schools was against the directions of the Madras High Court, which recently directed the management of private schools to issue TC to students within a week of receipt of application, and without insisting on payment of the fees due.
Aasheesh Pittie says birdwatching is not very unlike hunting, except that nothing is killed. “You track… you want to follow the bird… see it,” he says about this activity that he has pursued for nearly fifty years. Pittie, the editor of the ornithological journal Indian Birds, author of many classic reference books about birds and most recently, a collection of bird essays titled The Living Air: Pleasures of Birds and Birdwatching, was speaking at an event organised by the Archives of the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS).
