La Trobe University, Australia supports its students by offeringAUD 12 Million (INR 60 Crores)

 

Chandigargh : La Trobe University a multi-campus university in Victoria, Australiahas distributed AUD 12 Million (INR 60 Crores) to supports its students in  the current Covid-19 emergency.  This is in addition to La Trobe’s normal scholarships and support.   To ensure students have the maximum opportunity to start their study in 2020 La Trobe has also introduced more flexible online study options for prospective students and created additional start dates. 

 

Initiatives taken by LTU during Global Crisis Ø  Upsurge in course Intakes for students Ø  New Scholarships i.e. upto 30% of the entire tuition fees of the program Ø  Financial Aid provided to students

COVID-19 has had an unprecedented impact on educational delivery, and the wider impact remains uncertain. According toVice-Chancellor and President of La Trobe University Professor John Dewar AO, the University’s main priority has been to provide quality education while ensuring the wellbeing of itsstudents, staff and partners.

 

La Trobe was amongst the first Australian universities to ‘pause’ teaching activities to ensure that the right decisions were made on how to best deliver quality education. The first step was to migrate courses and Student Services online where student can continue their studies by attending classes online with similar support from academic and engagements with academics and fellow students.

 

To further support our students, La Trobe has taken many initiatives:

 

More intakes/ course start date options launched for students to initiate their courses online without delaying their plans

 

La Trobe has introduced Terms alongside our Semesters. Each term is six weeks in length, which provides three possible start dates for students in the second half of 2020.  This means that students can start their study doing two subjects in a six-week term, offering the most flexibility for students who need to start later or take fewer subjects in each teaching period. This also provides the best chance for smooth entry to university study, helping students to remain on track to complete their degree on time. Courses in Business, Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, Public Health and Biotechnology will be offered online in terms this year. The University has as its absolute priority the health and safety of our students, and so our courses and most subjects will continue to be delivered online until the University is allowed to resume face to face delivery. Subjects available fully online will continue to be delivered online until the end of the relevant term.  In addition, we have introduced a flexible refund policy to support recruitment of students enrolling in online subjects, including full refunds for withdrawals before Census Date. 

 

New Scholarships launched by the University

In order to support students, La Trobe has launched a new suite of scholarships and expanded eligibility criteria for existing scholarships. These scholarships have been confirmed for the upcoming intakes including for students commencing online. These scholarships are up to 30% of the entire tuition fee of the program.

Wife of an army personnel and mother of 3 doctors, mother-in-law of another 3 and grandmother of one doctor , Mohali phase-1 resident, Bhupinder Kaur Bedi (88) was quite worried to know that doctors and healthcare workers were facing shortage of masks after its panicky buying.  

Once she saw a sample of a mask, she realized that it was a simple task for her to stitch it .  She got some pieces of cotton which she had got recently for her dress and started stitching masks at her home.  Being unable to get new cloth as the shops are closed, she uses some old cloth pieces and some of her children’s cotton clothes also.

Still very good in sewing she uses an old sewing machine that she got as a marriage gift.

After her morning chores, she and her daughter-in-law who is senior paediatric surgeon make around 100 masks in a day.

Initially she gave the masks to her son, Dr HS Bedi who is a senior cardiac surgeon at Ivy Hospital to distribute at hospital. Later when shortage was sorted out by the government, she started giving masks to poor people who would come to the nearby Gurudwara for langar and to local needy residents besides safai workers, gas delivery drivers, vegetable and milk  vendors.

She also keep on encouraging her doctors kins’, who are actively involved in the anti- Covid programme at their respective working places.

We had seen partition and wars where we survived bombings and air raids and we shall overcome this crisis also, she opines.

More than half the luxury homes launched in the past 3 years remain unsold: Proptiger.com report

(Launches on downwards trajectory)

New Delhi, 7^th April 2020: Demand for luxury homes remains muted in India’s nine prime residential markets as more than half of such units launched in the past three years in these markets remain unsold, data available with PropTiger.com shows.

Numbers available with the Elara Technologies-owned real estate portal, that also owns Housing.com & Makaan.com, shows that a total of 1,131 housing units, priced over Rs 7 crore, were launched during the three year period between December 2016 and December 2019. Of these, 577 units or 51% remained unsold as of January 2020. Similarly, a total of 3,656 units, priced between Rs 5 crore and Rs 7 crore, were launched in these markets in the past three years. Nearly 55% of this stock remains unsold. Additionally, a total of 8,503 units, priced between Rs 3 crore and Rs 5 crore, were launched in these markets during this period, of which 56% stock remains unsold, data show.

Luxury awaits 

Price bracket	Unsold inventory in 9 markets as of March 2020
Rs 1-3 cr	51,997 units
Rs 3-5 cr	4,762 units
Rs 5-7 cr	2,025 units
Above Rs 7 cr	577 units

 

 

In terms of absolute numbers, the financial capital of India, Mumbai, has the highest number of unsold luxury units (30,015), followed by India’s pharmaceutical capital Hyderabad (8,554) and the Silicon Valley of India, Bengaluru (5,794) in third place. 

When compared to the levels seen in 2017, unit launches in the luxury segment declined in most price brackets across the nine markets.

In the Rs 1-3 crore price bracket, for example, 29,775 units were launched in 2019 as against 29,996 units in 2018. In the Rs 5-7 crore price bracket also, only 859 units were launched last year when compared to 1,536 homes 2018. Similarly, in the over Rs 7-crore price range, only 34 units were launched across India's nine markets in 2019 as compared to 542 units in 2018. In the Rs 3-5 crore price bracket, however, launches increased, from 2,675 in 2018 to 3,092 last year. 

“Real estate in India has been under immense pressure because of an on-going demand slowdown. This has impacted the residential real estate sector across the board, including the luxury housing segment. The demand for luxury homes fell post-demonetization, and that trend has not changed much since. The on-going crisis involving the coronavirus pandemic is likely to further impact demand across the residential real estate sector in H1 FY21, including luxury housing,” says Dhruv Agarwala, Group CEO, Housing.com, Makaan.com & PropTiger.com.

Agarwala, however, expects renewed interest from NRI customers in India’s luxury housing segment in the event the fall in the value of the Indian rupee continues.

“The Indian currency recently fell beyond Rs 77 against the US dollar. This puts NRI homebuyers in an advantageous position as they would find buying luxury homes a relatively more attractive investment option than before,” further added by Agarwala.

The cities covered in the analysis are Ahmedabad (Includes Gandhinagar), Bengaluru, Chennai, Gurugram (includes Bhiwadi, Dharuhera and Sohna), Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai (includes Navi Mumbai and Thane), Pune and Noida (includes Greater Noida, Noida Extension and Yamuna Expressway).
