Solan: While opposition parties in Himachal have been trying to corner the government on opening of several new universities in the state within a short span of time, the questions they have raised may not be totally politically motivated. Recently, a Left-wing party had alleged that various degrees, including PhDs in different streams, are on sale in Himachal and that some of the newly-opened universities are offering courses without having pre-requisite statuary permissions from the respective apex regulatory bodies. On the other hand,our investigation found out that universities are luring students in the name of world-class infrastructure and faculty, which is not yet ready, whereas officials admitted that actual infrastructure would depend on student response in each course being offered.
CPI(M) state member secretary Tikender Panwar on Thursday had alleged that Manav Bharti University, being set up in Solan, is not only violating various rules but is also involved in cheating and fraudulent practices. He said that the university has variety of courses in different streams including MPharma, DPharma, and BPharma in Pharmacology, MBA & PGDMM in management, MPT and BPT in physiotherapy, MCA and BCA in computer applications, MTech and BTech in engineering stream, diploma in veterinary sciences, fire & safety courses and courses in microbiology. He had alleged that the university does not have reorganization from UGC, AICTE, Nursing Council, etc, and that the faculty is under-qualified and even not available for many courses. He said that names of the faculty appearing on the universities prospectus have never been in the university since its inception.Read Full Story
