It is always great to see people who were once students themselves reaching out to current students to provide financial support through a collaborative venture. The Next Gen Scientists Foundation (NGSF) is one such venture, a non-profit organization established by the alumni of Anna University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The NGS Foundation is offering financial support for undergraduates and postgraduates taking up a research-based internship in the field of life science under the guidance of a Principal Investigator (PI) at select Indian institutes. The goal is to provide financial support to interns enrolled in traditional unpaid internships without fees. However, NGSF does not offer any kind of direct internship. The intern should be someone who has already received the opportunity to intern with a PI.

Govt. College for Women (GCW), Jammu which is an autonomous college affiliated to the University of Jammu, invites applications from female students for admission to a short-term Certificate Course in Basholi Art, Canvas Painting & Mandala Art.

Outhouse directed by Sunil Sukthankar and produced by Mohan Agashe, also playing one of the characters, is a charming film on the generational divide. The film was screened last month at the Third Eye Asian Film Festival in Mumbai and Thane, Maharashtra. On the face of it, Outhouse is about two elders, namely Nana, played by Agashe, and Aadima played by Sharmila Tagore who find themselves in conflict over the rightful owner of her grandson Neel’s pet poodle after it goes missing. But within that story arc, the writer, the late Sumitra Bhave, makes the film a gentle paean on urban loneliness, working women’s struggles, the precocity of children, and the fraught terrain of marriages and peripatetic lives.

MSME Technology Centre, Bengaluru under the aegis of the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME), Govt. of India is conducting an online training course in Gold Jewel Appraisal today and tomorrow.
