Nagpur: Even as a member of the Nagpur University (NU) law, especially those from Shikshan Manche, strongly opposed the amendments at Maharashtra Public University, 2016, many senior academics have supported the Government’s Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) steps, quoting NU Deputy Chancellor (VC) appointment Subhash Chaudhari.
After Chancellor Bhagat Singh Koshyari chose Chaudhari on August 8, 2020, TOI run a series of reports that quoted NU Academics, officials and ministers about how merit was ignored in his choice, which they called “politics” governed by Kalpana Kalpana Shikshan Manthan Manthan Pande, using a connection strong in the BJP circle and RSS.
“Changing the action is true because people follow certain ideologies are appointed in all the top posts at Maharashtra University.
It all starts from NU, where we witnessed the exception of a very decent candidate such as Vinayak Deshpande economist, who has extensive experience to do all posts , including VC and PRO-VC, “said Senior Academic Baban Taywade.
He added that if the candidate contributed to Deshpande would be appointed at all universities, such amendments would not be needed.
After the Chaudhari election, the Energy Minister Nitin Raut had raised the problem of his appointment in a cabinet meeting and was supported by his Congress colleagues, including Revenue Minister Thorat’s income.
He was the first amendment to demanding action related to VC’s appointment, claiming that many qualified candidates were good and very experienced surprisingly ignored by Koshyari.
A Senate member told Toi that the objection was strong by the Raut and the Ministers of the other Cabinet had caused the Main Minister Uddhav Thackeray to be a panel under the former Chairman of the University of Sukhdeo Grant Commission to make the third amendment in the law to avoid such “political appointments” future .
“After VC appointment, even those who are pro-VC and four Deans are made in the same way and they are all related to Shikshan Manthan, directly or indirectly.
In other NU’s body such as the Academic Board and Management, along with the Senate and Study Council ( The boss), most promises made from Shikshan Manche.
The trend was followed at another university that made angry constituents – Congress, NCP and Shiv Sena – who could not appoint their followers on all the top posts, “said Senate members.
Higher Education Minister Uday Samant said the misunderstanding was spreading regarding the amendment which was released by the two Maharashtra legislative houses last month.
Denies BJP’s accusations that MVA’s steps will reduce the strength of the governor to appoint VC, he said it aims to improve the process and carried out after studying the laws framed by other countries.
Coming to government support, Member Member Gadchiroli said Chancellor previously appointed IIT Delhi Professor Rajendra Kumar Sharma as Gondwana University VC, ignoring other decent candidates, but Sharma failed to join, forced the administration once again, thus a waste.
Lakh taxpayer money and valuable time.
