KU under scanner for appointing woman professor

Pradeep Rai, TNN | Oct 30, 2011, 04.12AM IST

KURUKSHETRA : Yet to come out of the controversy arising out of the appointment of principal inuuniversity school, the Kurukshetra University authorities have once come under scanner. This time for appointing a woman associate professor by not fulfilling the minimum eligibility for the post.

Appointment of Madhu Deep Singh, as associate professor came to light on the basis of information procured by professor Ashutosh Mishra, a former KU faculty, who procured the information through Right To Information (RTI) Act.

Armed with the information procured under RTI Act, three candidates have announced to approach the Punjab and Haryana High Court to challenge the selection.

The incident dates back to the year 2007, when Madhu Deep alleged to have been appointed in the Institute of Mass Communication and Media Technology in violation of rule book, especially when it comes to fulfilling basic educational qualifications for the post, as prescribed by the University Grants Commission. The information provided by KU under RTI suggests that applicant misguided the authorities while furnishing information in the column of academic record and experience.

Notably, concerned branches of the university did not even check all original documents of the candidate to ascertain that if one had provided true information in application form. The irony is that the KU authorities did not take objection when her original documents proved that information was incorrect.

According to the post advertised by KU on June 2006, the minimum eligibility for the post was that ' the candidate should have 55% marks in post graduation along with NET qualifixation. Apart from this, the candidate should have good academic record-minimum 50% marks in two classes out of matric, Ten Plus two and graduation. But the woman professor did not fulfill the condition of good academic record as she passed matriculation with 50%, 12th with 44% and BA with 44.3%.

Madhu Deep was appointed ignoring more than dozen candidates who had a meritorious record. Professor Ashuthosh Mishra, a former teacher of the department, who had resigned from KU for raising voice against fake appointment. The university has procured this information from KU. He is working as RTI activist for bringing into light academic fraud. Professor Mishra said, "I have written to Dr DDS Sandhu, VC KU for terminating teacher's appointment by ignoring rules."

Dr DDS Sandhu , VC said, "I have received letter in this regard. Objection made by RTI activist is prima facie genuine. I will take strict action if inquiry proved the appointment wrong."
