Prof. Sanjay Chhibber, who is the senior most professor in the Department of Microbiology, Panjab University, Chandigarh has been appointed by Indian Council of Medical Research as ICMR Emeritus Scientist in its meeting held on 7th, August, 2020.He is the only one from Universities of India to find a place in the list of 11 selected scientists for this award.
The duration of appointment initially is for a period of three years in the first instance. Further extension upto a maximum period of two more years may be granted by the agency depending on the progress of research work.He shall be working on a project entitled “Alternative Roles for CRISPR- Cas System in Bacterial Virulence: Beyond Adaptive Immunity”.
Prof. Chhibber has been associated with teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students of Microbiology (Hons, School) at Panjab University for more than 42 years. During these years he has been actively engaged in research and many post graduate and doctoral students have completed their research projects under his guidance. He has published more than 250 research papers in scientific journals of repute in India and abroad.
His main work in recent years has been on finding alternative strategies to curb drug resistant bacterial infections. During the past more than one decade he has concentrated on bacteriophage therapy and anti-virulence approach to control antimicrobial resistant pathogens using in-vitro and animal models. In recent years bacteria have developed resistance towards commonly used antibiotics and as a result bacteria fail to respond to them. Many times clinicians find it difficult to treat such infections. Bacteriophages are viruses of bacteria that have the ability to kill bacteria. Recent studies have shown that they have the ability to lyse with antibiotic resistant bacteria. Therefore this approach is being explored to treat such infections as an alternate strategy. With more than 60 publications in this area, he is one of the Indian scientists who have made tremendous contributions in this field at the international platform.
At present he is the president of the Society for Bacteriophage Research and Therapy (SBRT). Bacteriophages which are viruses of bacteria are finding many applications in diverse areas and this society is a platform to promote these scientists.Last year, he was honoured by the Society of Microbiologists with “Life time Devotion Award” for his contribution in the field of Medical Microbiology. He is also a member of the central council of Association of Microbiologists of India.

पंचकूला 24 अगस्त- उपायुक्त मुकेश कुमार आहूजा ने बताया कि सरकार ने प्रदेश के अन्नदाता किसान की आर्थिक स्थिति सुधारने के लिए कृषि क्षेत्र में कई योजनाएं क्रियान्वित की है। इनमें फसल विविधिकरण योजना किसानों के लिए बेहतर कारगर है।
उपायुक्त ने बताया कि वर्तमान में किसानों के लिए फसल विविधिकरण करना बेहद जरूरी है। जिला का किसान फसल विविधिकरण को अपनाएगा तभी किसान की आर्थिक स्थित मजबूत होगी। यदि किसान खुशहाल, आत्मनिर्भर और समृद्व होगा तो प्रदेश प्रगति के पथ पर आगे बढ़ेगा।
उन्होंने बताया कि ऑनलाइन किसान-कृषि वैज्ञानिक संवाद के माध्यम से भी किसानों को समय समय फसल विविधिकरण की जानकारी दी जा रही है। इसका मुख्य उद्देश्य ही कृषि विविधिकरण और उन्नत तकनीकों के माध्यम से किसानों की आमदनी बढ़ाना है।
उपायुक्त ने बताया कि फसल विविधिकरण, कृषि व इससे जुड़े व्यवसाय, उन्नत किस्मों के बीज और आधुनिक तकनीक अपनाकर किसान अपनी आमदनी बढ़ा सकते हैं। इसके साथ ही, जैविक खेती, फसल अवशेष प्रबन्धन, समन्वित कीट एवं उर्वरक प्रबन्धन, जल संरक्षण, प्राकृतिक संसाधनों का उपयोग कर खेती में होने वाले खर्च को कम करने के साथ-साथ किसान भूमि की उर्वरा शक्ति को भी बढ़ा भूमि को ओर अधिक उपजाऊ बना सकते हैं।
उपायुक्त ने बताया कि किसानों के लिए मार्केटिंग की भी पूरी जानकारी होनी चाहिए। किसान मार्केटिंग में निपुणता हासिल करके और किसान उत्पाद समूह गठित करके भी कृषि योजनाआंे का लाभ उठा सकते हैं। इनके माध्यम से किसानों को सही समय पर आसानी से सरकार की योजनाओं का लाभ मिलता है।

The impact of COVID-19 lockdown on ambient air quality of Chandigarh was studied by the Department of Environment Studies, Panjab University along with Department of Community Medicine & School of Public Health, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh and Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee.
The study recently published in the journal Chemosphere entitled ‘Impact of COVID-19 lockdown on air quality in Chandigarh, India: Understanding the emission sources during controlled anthropogenic activities’ examined the trend of 14 air pollutants, including particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5), trace atmospheric gases (NO2, NO, NOx, SO2, Ozone, NH3, CO) and Volatile Organic Compounds (benzene, toluene, o-xylene, m,p-xylene, ethylbenzene) along with six meteorological parameters before and during the COVID-19 lockdown.
The study duration was divided into four parts, i.e., a) 21 days of before lockdown b) 21 days of the first phase of lockdown c) 19 days of the second phase of lockdown d) 14 days of the third phase of lockdown. The results showed a significant reduction in all the major pollutants during the first and second phases of lockdown. However, the concentrations of SO2, Ozone, and m,p-xylene kept on increasing throughout the study period, except for benzene, which continuously decreased.
Dr. Suman Mor, Chairperson, Department of Environment Studies, PU and the lead investigator of the study, highlighted that vehicular pollution contributes as a primary source of air pollution during different stages of lockdown. Further, she added that regional atmospheric transfer of pollutants from coal-burning and stubble burning were identified as secondary sources of air pollution.
Dr. Ravindra Khaiwal, Additional Professor of Environment Health, Department of Community Medicine and School of Public Health, PGIMER, who coordinated this study, mentioned that reduction in air pollution is linked to the decline in local emissions and frequent rainfall. He also highlighted that the increase in Ozone concentration seems to be associated with intense solar radiation and high temperature, which enhances the atmospheric reactivity during COVID-19 lockdown, leading to a rise in Ozone concentration not only in Chandigarh but many cities in India.
The percentage decrease in the concentrations during 1, 2 and 3 lockdown periods were 28.8 %, 23.4 % and 1.1 % for PM2.5 and 36.8 %, 22.8 % and 2.4 % for PM10, respectively. NO2 concentration was reduced by 23 %, 16.5 %, and 6.1 % in lockdown 1, 2, and 3, respectively, as compared to the average concentrations before the lockdown period.
