By Vikas Vaidya
The team constituted by Nagpur’s Joint Director (Technical Education) office has found serious loopholes in nine engineering colleges of Nagpur region. The committee had inspected all colleges of this region and identified loopholes. Now the committee would be checking whether the compliance has been made or not.
The colleges include Bhausaheb Mulak College of Engineering; Central India College of Engineering and Technology; Namdeorao Poreddiwar College of Engineering and Technology, Gadchiroli; Nagarjuna Institute of Technology and Management; Acharya Vinoba Bhave College of Engineering, Pavnar; Vidya Niketan College of Engineering; Om College of Engineering, Izapur, Wardha; ITM College of Engineering, Kamptee; V M Institute of Engineering and Technology, Dongargaon.
Out of the above colleges, Mulak College, Central India, Acharya Vinoba Bhave, Om College are on the verge of closure while VMIT has registered no single admission.
According to DTE, these colleges have serious deficiencies like not having regular principal, cadre ratio issue, land, no proper equipment in Laboaratory, inadequate staff. They have to comply with this loopholes. If they do not remove it they have to face the music of DTE.
The issue of two committees to inspect the compliance is still haunting. The DTE had questioned formation of committees by Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University (RTMNU) to check the compliance’s by technical institutions. The colleges have sent protest letters to the DTE asking why the university formed a separate committee to inspect their college when the DTE has already constituted a panel. Apart from overlapping jurisdiction, the colleges are put to great inconvenience due to jurisdictional conflict between two separate panels.
Taking cognizance of The Hitavada report, the office of Minister of Education had called RTMNU and ordered RTMNU to add member nominated by DTE in university committee.
As per the Government order, now the RTMNU committee would have a member nominated by DTE. At the same time DTE would send separate committee to the 48 colleges.
To recollect, in October, 2015, the DTE inspected teaching and other infrastructure facilities at the technical institutions in Maharashtra. During the inspection, the DTE had identified certain loopholes. The colleges concerned were asked to remove the shortcomings and comply with it. Now, the DTE has constituted a three-member committee to check whether the colleges have removed the deficiencies or not. Surprisingly, RTMNU, too, had decided to conduct inspections independently.
