Hindu National School to face probe on CM’s order
Dehradun, October 12 The inquiry was ordered after a delegation of the School Bachao Sangharsh Samiti led by Uttarakhand Congress vice-president Suryakant Dhasmana met the Chief Minister on October 7 and apprised him of the alleged irregularities in the school affairs. The members of the School Bachao Sangharsh Samiti alleged that the school was in a dilapidated condition and the standard of education had fallen. The school’s managing committee had failed to maintain the infrastructure and the students were forced to study in adverse conditions, they added. The delegation told the Chief Minister that the managing committee of the school had been trying to convert the institution, which was founded by Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, into a business enterprise. They alleged that a cemented tennis court had been constructed in the open space of the school and was being given on lease to outsiders. Shail Shikhar, a social organisation, has raised its voice against the alleged irregularities in the school affairs. Addressing a press conference on the issue, Arun Kumar Sharma, director of the Shail Shikhar, said, “A centre of education cannot be converted into a commercial enterprise. Our organisation opposes the move to construct a tennis court on the school premises, as school students come from poor families and cannot afford to play tennis.”

POLITICAL DIARY
Dehradun, October 12 Harish Rawat being a shrewd politician had thrown the ball in the court of the party high command. He ruled out any change in his ministry and said the party high command would take any decision about the Cabinet reshuffle. Harish Rawat, who is running a coalition government with the help of seven-member Progressive Democratic Front (PDF), is in no mood to disturb his own applecart. Moreover, being an astute politician he is also unwilling to give any room to his detractors in the Congress. For the past few months, there has been pressure upon the Chief Minister to give representation to Congress legislators in his ministry. Interestingly, out of the seven PDF members five are ministers in the Harish Rawat ministry. After Amrita Rawat’s removal from the state ministry, Harish Rawat allotted the portfolio to Dinesh Dhanai, an independent legislator from Tehri, much to the chagrin of the Congress legislators. The group led by former Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna has been demanding that at least three ministers of the PDF should be dropped and three Congress legislators be made ministers in their place. It argue that there is lot of resentment among party legislators as they feel that the PDF ministers are enjoying the power at their expense. The resentment has been more pronounced amongst Congress leaders from Garhwal as four of the five PDF ministers belong to the region. Vijay Bahuguna last month had met Harish Rawat and reportedly asked him to give representation to at least three Congress legislators belonging to his camp, namely Subodh Uniyal, Shailendra Mohan Singhal and Rajinder Bhandari in the state Cabinet. In the 70-member Uttarakhand Assembly, the Congress has 33 legislators of its own while seven-member PDF comprising three MLAs of the BSP, three Independents and the lone MLA of the UKD is supporting the state government. The BJP has 30 members in the House. Harish Rawat has shown no inclination to change the present equation. He is unwilling to give any space to the Vijay Bahuguna camp either
in the state ministry or in the party organisation, which is also being recast in the coming days.

Govt seeks report on GB Pant farm varsity appointments
Dehradun, October 12 S Ramaswamy, Principal Secretary, Agriculture and Agriculture Education, has referred the matter to Joint Secretary, Agriculture, Paliwal, and sought a factual report from
Dr Mathew Prasad on the matter. Ramaswamy has sought strict action if any irregularity was revealed on the part of the
Vice-Chancellor. The action comes after Dr Virender Singh Lather, a member of the board of management of the GB Pant University of Agriculture and Technology brought the matter to the former’s notice regarding the violation of rules while extending the tenure of 12 heads of departments (HODs) in the university. Dr Lather had earlier also written to the GB Pant University’s Vice Chancellor Dr Mathew Prasad asking him for providing him with an upto date copy of statutory provisions which reveals that a Vice Chancellor is empowered for the appointment of the Head Of Departments/Deans/Directors for six months without the approval of the board. He asked Dr Prasad to provide him a copy of list of persons appointed as the Deans/Directors/ HOD’s/others administrative posts along with copies of their orders issued after taking the additional charge of the Vice Chancellor of Pant Nagar University. On the other hand, Vice Chancellor Mathew Prasad has constantly maintained that The University Act hadempowered him to make temporary appointments. He held that the extension was given on a a temporary basis until a suitable replacement was found for the posts. Interestingly, a day back Uttarakhand Governor Aziz Qureshi had to give a clarification over the delay in appointment
of the Vice-Chancellor to the Pant Nagar University after a participant at the Kisan mela programme questioned
the delay in appointment of the Vice Chancellor and had put under scanner the deployment of the Vice Chancellor with an additional charge at
the university.

Uniform admission process for B Ed courses demanded
Dehradun, October 12 Sunil Aggarwal, president of the Association of Self- Financed Institutes of Uttarakhand, said, “The universities in the state have different sets of annual inspection criteria for private and government B Ed colleges. If a B Ed college, whether government or private, has the approval of the National Council for Teachers Education (NCT), how can the university have different inspection rules for private colleges offering
B Ed courses.” He alleged that the government B Ed colleges were openly violating the NCT rules and employing teachers on the contractual basis and the universities were ignoring the issue. “There is a rule that a teacher in a B Ed college should either have M Ed, NET or PhD, but in Government B Ed College at Bedhikhal, there are a couple of teachers who have the B Ed or MA degree.” “The NCT rule of minimum seven teachers in a B Ed College is being violated by a number of government colleges,” he said. Aggarwal demanded the introduction of a uniform admission process for B Ed courses in the state. “We have written a letter to the Union Human Resource Development Ministry demanding a uniform B Ed admission process in the state,” he said. “Three universities in the state give affiliation to colleges for B Ed courses and all of them have different admission rules unlike in Uttar Pradesh or Haryana where there is a uniform admission process for B Ed courses,” he said.
