May 3, 2007, 9:16 amStudents all set for GUJCET
May 3, 2007, 9:14 am
With the much-awaited GUJCET (Gujarat Common Entrance Test) to be conducted today, students here are quite anxious about it. While some have taken to coaching classes, others are going through their school textbooks for the admissions into Engineering, Medical and Pharmacy colleges in the State.
Rashmi Ramesh, a student of Asia English School, talks about her preparations, “I am preparing for GUJCET by going through the formulae for Maths. For other subjects like Chemistry and Physics, I am referring my textbooks. I am not worried about the OMR system to be used in the exam as I have already appeared for Kerala Common Entrance Test (CET) and AIEEE in which OMR sheets are used.”
Sonia Sharma, a student of St Xavier’s High School, Hansol however has another point of view. She says, “One cannot prepare for GUJCET in a day or two since it is meant to evaluate what one has studied the entire year. That’s the reason why I am not worried about the exams.” Sharma points out that although she is not attending coaching classes, she has been referring to her textbooks for the same.
Shiby Varghese, another student says, “Presently, I am only going through my textbooks. Since I do not have problems with the OMR sheet, I am hoping for the best. I also hope that Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ’s) in GUJCET will be easy.”
According to the GSHSEB, 59,114 students will appear for GUJCET at different centres in all the districts of Gujarat.
CCTV cameras will be installed at the centres if the District Examination Committee, under which the exams are being conducted, feels the need to do so. GSHSEB officials denied the possibility of mass copying as OMR sheets will be used in the exams.

Another Amul offspring eyes UP milk market
May 3, 2007, 9:13 am
Treading a new growth path, Sabar Dairy, run by Sabarkantha District Milk Producers’ Union under the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) launched Operation Radha on Tuesday in Uttar Pradesh. It aims at having a sizeable presence of Amul milk in northern India.
Starting with Mathura, the dairy aims at providing buffalo milk to the whole of northern UP. GCMMF will guide Sabar Diary in this endeavour. The earlier GCMMF dairy to enter the northern market was the Mehsana Dairy. Sabar Dairy managing director Mayur Vyas, “The buffalo milk in north Gujarat has a unique taste, not to be found anywhere else in India. North Indians have taken a fancy to its taste.”
Vyas said they have tied up with Kwality Dairy India Ltd for packaging raw milk, and will operate from Palwal on the Haryana-UP border.
GCMMF general manager marketing, R S Sodhi said Amul will use Sabar Diary’s recently-acquired chilling station and milk prices will be the same as in the Delhi market. Amul will charge Rs 18 for toned milk and Rs 22 for the full cream one.
With an initial dispatch of 30,000 litres a day from Sabar, Vyas said the dairy plans to increase it up to 1 lakh within the next three months. Towns to be covered in the first phase of Operation Radha are Mathura, Agra, Aligarh and Ghaziabad amongst others in northern UP.
Vyas said their immediate objective was to create a market and further build upon that as and when the demand picked up. He said from the present 11 lakh litres milk procurement at Sabar every day, it will jump to 15 lakh litres by 2010, and a vast market reach will help in selling the surplus.
Vyas said, “Each drop of milk would be accepted from farmers,” adding that such milk sold in market has a consistent price realisation as against skimmed milk — prices of which are governed by international prices.
