Chandigarh: 17-10-2019

करवा चौथ का पर्व इस साल 17 अक्टूबर को आज मनाया जा रहा है।

महिलाएं इस दिन मंगल व रोहिणी नक्षत्र में पति की दीघार्यु की कामना करेंगी। यह संयोग 70 साल बाद आया है।

इस साल व्रत की समयाविधि भी करीब 14 घंटे की रहेगी।  करवा चौथ का व्रत इस वर्ष 17 अक्टूबर को है।

ज्योतिषाचार्यों के अनुसार 70 सालों बाद बन रहा शुभ संयोग सुहागिनों के लिए फलदायी होगा। इस बार रोहिणी नक्षत्र के साथ मंगल का योग बेहद मंगलकारी रहेगा।

करवा चौथ शब्द दो शब्दों से मिलकर बना है। पहला तो करवा और दूसरा चौथ। जिसमें करवा का मतलब मिट्टी के बरतन और चौथ यानि चतुर्थी है।

इस दिन मिट्टी के पात्र यानी करवों की पूजा का विशेष महत्व है। करवाचौथ के मौके पर महिलाएं व युवतियों मेहंदी लगवाती हैं।

चतुर्थी को दिनभर व्रत करने के बाद शाम को 16 श्रृंगार से सजकर चंद्रमा को अर्घ्य देती हैं और भगवान गणेश की पूजा करती हैं।

1st Prize to Centre for Nuclear Medicine, PU

Chandigarh October 14, 2019

 Centre for Nuclear Medicine, Panjab University, Chandigarh  received the first prize by the International Medical Olympicus Association during the recently held 5th International Medical Olympiad in Greece.  The work presented was a part of the CSIR funded project awarded to Dr Vijayta D Chadha as Principal Investigator and Co investigators, Dr D K Dhawan and Dr Neelima D Passi. The research involved radiosynthesis of a novel 5α-reductase inhibitor and
evaluation of its cancer targeting potential in experimental model of prostate carcinogenesis.


Prostate cancer is the second most frequent malignancy after lung cancer in men and the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. The enzyme 5α-reductase converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone which is more potent agonist of androgen receptor and its increased levels lead to enlargement of prostate gland. 5α-reductase inhibitors
are a class of drugs that contain the metabolic transformation of testosterone thus lowering the manifestation of diseased condition. Considering the 5α-reductase inhibitory activity of the reported oximes and importance of the ester group in increasing the antiandrogenic property, a potent 5α-reductase inhibitor was synthesized for enhanced selectivity towards prostate tissue. The work was carried by Ms Gousia Jan, Research fellow in the project and was presented by Prof D K Dhawan in the said conference.
