Going to the court in my opinion will not do much in the near future. We all know that the courts are horribly backlogged. Secondly, any legal action will require the assistance of a lawyer or two, which not only means we need to find someone good, he/she will have to be paid as well. So unless people are willing to contribute towards this, a PIL is not going to go far. Even if people will contribute, who will keep track of it all and who will meet with the lawyers and go to court?? Any legal action may take years to show any result, that person(s) will have to stay involved for the entire duration. Thakur ji, will you volunteer to be that person?
The shortest path to change, IMHO is as follows:
1) We verify that what is being reported is true and factual.
2) We verify that existing students and at least some of the faculty also desire a change in situation. If they do not desire any change, then let us not forget that nothing is a 100% in this world. So some people got appointed/promoted due to family connections, it happens all the time. As long as current students are getting the education they need and want and as long as they are getting the jobs they want, it does not matter what we think.
3) If indeed things are BAD in MACT, and the current students and faculty also desire a change for the better, then we formulate a detailed petition, listing the known and verified issues/grievances etc. This petition shouldl also provide concrete suggestions and ideas and procedures/policies etc that can be implemented to ensure that the said issues/grievances are resolved and not repeated in the future.
4) We then petition the Union HRD ministry. If need be, we can escalate the issue to the PM as well. It will help if we can find someone who has a contact in the Union HRD ministry.
Vivek.
