Though the PAU has organized a three day Book Fair on it campus mainly to attract the students towards books, the enthusiasm among the agricultural student for reading or even having a look at the books on various subjects was missing. The tribune spoke to at least 25 students in random, barring one or two, non of them could make it to the fair "due to shortage of time".
A girl student,unaware about the fair said, "i thought books were to be displayed in these designated tents. But they were empty. I thought the fair wad cancelled due to bad weather. I did not go to the changed venue near the cycle stand."
while a BSc agriculture student,accompanied by her four friends, said:"i wanted to visit(the fair), but we could not spare time. The syllabuses are too vast that you hardly get time for other reading material."
Another student said it was a half day today and a holiday at the campus tomorrow. He said he may not get time to visit the fair. On being asked weather he was interested in reading books, he said,"i am an average student, who believe in studying the course-curriculum. Apart from it i prefer to watch movies and freak out with friend. I am not into reading,"he said.
The president of the Punjab agriculture university students association, Ravinder Singh Randhawa, when asked about the thin attendance of students at book fair, said:"about ten percent of students visit these book fair. Few are interested in reading books on variety of subjects. Majority of students keep themselves busy studying the course material.
The students are more focussed towards syllabus-books rather then wide range of other literature,"he siad.

System For Predicting Late Blight Launched
The department of plant pathalogy, in collaboration with the department of agrometeorology, has developed a decision supports system (DSS) for
predicting late blight in potato, based on the duration of relative humidity at a range of temperature.
After launching the system here today, university vice Chancellor Dr. Manjit Singh kang said the farmers would find the facility useful in managing
the disease which is common in the potato harvest. He said DSS was a need based programme that would provide useful information to growers in undertaking
timely and effective disease management of their crop.
Dr. Kang said similar models for predicting crop yields would be required. He congratulated the inter disciplinary team of Scientists involved in developing
the dynamic system for predicting the disease. He said the web enabled support system would help in quick dissemination of even to distant potato grows.
