In some good news for Nagpur University, battling with many controversies and vacancies, the Maharashtra government has cleared its long-awaited roster, which will pave the way for new recruitments in the university's colleges and departments.
Sources said the general administration department (GAD) has cleared the roster of teaching posts and informed NU through a letter that it can now fill up the 114 vacancies. This development came as a major respite to the university administration led by vice chancellor Vilas Sapkal. Now they can fill up the vacancies in Laxminarayan Institute of Technology ( LIT).
The Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court had already criticised the administration for lethargy in filling up vacant posts, leading to deterioration of standards. The HC had given NU a six-month deadline for filing up the vacancies.
There are many vacancies in NU's departments and also at Dr Ambedkar Law College and Barrister SK Wankhede Education College. The law college, which has produced many stalwarts along with 25 sitting high court judges, has only a couple of permanent lecturers while the rest are contributory.
Interestingly, the GAD has not cleared the roster for 12 teaching posts which are in controversy. These posts were reported as 'illegal' by principal secretary of social development PS Meena in his confidential report. TOI, which exposed the sensational roster scam in NU, had first reported how the GAD report slammed NU for illegalities in the appointment of teaching posts on January 1.
Meena mentioned that the appointment of four NU teachers, PN Khobragade, PM Tumane, VK Jambhulkar and DD Barasgade, were completely illegal as roster was ignored. The GAD team which submitted the report to the government had already asked NU officials to immediately replace them with appropriate candidates.
Due to non-clearance of the roster, NU had been literally working with half the staff in both teaching and non-teaching departments. The inaction of NU bosses regarding the roster was further compounding the problems.
TOI had reported on March 19, 2009, how NU failed to verify its roster, which was full of illegal appointments for over four years. The newspaper also reported how the roster was fudged by officials for their own benefit and over 500 NU appointments were at stake due to the scam.
