NU issues show-cause notice to Saoner-based bogus college
The Nagpur University administration finally woke up to the serious issue of bogus colleges mushrooming in the city after TOI reported on July 17 about one such college in Saoner which had reportedly admitted over 300 students without applying for affiliation from NU. Even the college prospectus mentions its affiliation with the 87-year-old institution.
The NU issued notice to the 'Arts and Commerce College' in Khapa at Saoner asking them to immediately stop admitting students under the pretext of getting affiliation from the university. Director of Board of College and University Development (BOCUD) Arvind Chaudhary confirmed that a show cause notice was served on the college after getting reports of students being illegally admitted.
"We've received a complaint in this regard and decided to act on it. We've warned the college management of strict action in case the allegations made in the complaint was found to be true," he said.
He added that NU will also serve a legal notice through its counsel to the college, warning them of action against illegalities. "We never received any proposal of affiliation from the said college," he said.
TOI had earlier reported how the Saoner-based college was admitting students under the pretext of affiliation to the university.
Citing a complaint by Virendra Jumle, principal of Haribhau Arts and Commerce College, which is adjacent to the said college in Saoner, TOI had reported that the college management was hoping to get permission to run the institution through influential politicians in the Mantralaya. It, however flouted all rules by admitting about 300 students while charging a fee of Rs 800 each.
Even registrar Mahesh Yenkie confirmed receiving a complaint against the bogus college, saying, "we are serious about it and even discussed the issue in the recent meeting with vice-chancellor Vilas Sapkal and other senior officials. We have to check the nature of the complainant as to whether there are any vested interests," he had said.
Sources cited a similar example of Maa Jagdamba College belonging to an influential NCP leader which allegedly admitted students flouting basic eligibility norms. When NU refused to allow them to appear in exams, the students attacked the university premises causing large-scale destruction of its property and also tried to set ablaze the heritage structure.
Ironically, the college took affiliation at Koradi while running its classes at Bhagini Mandal in Sitabuldi in the city. The college management recently managed to bring affiliation at Nagpur city despite originally affiliated for Koradi campus, sources said.
