MANIT ( MACT) - Shameful Affair !!!
Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology ( MANIT or MACT)
presently under sorry state of affair/corruption/nexuses etc. as per enquiry conducted by Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) through Mr. N M Buch ( Rtd. IAS)
In the report, it is clearly revealed that this National Institute is in worst situation and presently run by certian officials like Pvt Co.In Mr.Buch's report it is clearly mentioned about irregularities in Appointments/Promotions/Awarding contracts. As per report, Institute is one of the best example in Appointments of RELATIVES ( around 50 member of a family) . Report has been submitted by Mr. M N Buch to MHRD in June07 and institute officials are awaiting for action from MHRD.
In report, questions has been raised on Appointments and Promotion in the Institutes. Present DEAN and Acting Director Mr.Ashutosh Sharma"s tenure of last 2 year is full of irregularties and corruption charges Even Mr Sharma's appointment as Professor is not as per rules and he disqualify the Norms of appointment.( He has done P.hd. In Discipline of Psychology wchich is not at all related with Architecture & Planning). This National Institute is run by Sharma & Saxena Party. At one place Mr. Buch was so upset by the corruption /irregularity that he has written in the report that " ALL IS NOT WELL IN THE STATE OF DENMARK...!!!
Report revealed Appointments are irregular ...!!!
Mr. Ashutosh Sharma"s appointment as Professor is not as per rule as he does not qualify the minimum qualification for the Post, therefore, He should be demoted and all the payments made to him since 19 April 2000 should be recovered. The then Principal/Director/Chairman should also be questioned in this matter.
In the report, appointments of Industrial Representative Mr. Arvind Chopra , Neemuch and Technical Education Institute Bhopal's Chief Dr.Mahendra Singh Chouhan is called as void. Mr. Buch has made responsible for all this Mr. S K Jhalani who was the then Chairman on Institute and ex- MLA.
Unqualified are Appointed....!!!
Mr. Abhay Sharma ( Brother of Ashutosh Sharma and both are son of Capt. Sharma- Chemistry Professor of MACT) was appointed Asst.Professor on 14 July 2005 in Civil Engg. Dept againest rule as he was only M. Tech and so he only qualify for the post of Lecturer.
Abhay Sharma was working with Public Works Department(PWD) as Sub-Engineer and having experience of 6 year. Mr.Buch mentioned in report that PWD is not an Industry hence this experience can not be considered equivalent to P.hd. Mr. Sharma should have minimum exp.of 6year of teaching and also Asst Proff. pay-scale is much higher than the Sub Engineer so appointment of Mr.Sharma as Asst. Proff is disqualify the Rule. Mr. Sharma"s appointment should be cancelled. Mr. Bush further mentioned that the then Chairman/ Director/ Faculty Member should also be punished for this appointment and arrested.
Furthere it should be mentioned during selection of Mr Abhay Sharma, All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), Central Committee Regional Director Bhopal Mr. Sanjeev Sharma was present who is basically acting director therefore is not suitable to be member of the Interview committee.
Rules over ruled....!!!
Dr. Aruna Saxena was not at all suitable for the post of Proffessor but was appointed by the Institute over ruling all the rules and regulation wchich is height of Indiscipline in the institute. These irregularity should be dealt firmly and responsible should be punished. Her Appointment was not only the illegal but She was alloted house/Tel/Mobile as per her choice. Mr.Buch said that she should be demoted to Lecturer and all expense incurred by institute on her should be recovered, also all the responsible should be arrested.
Relatives all over the institute...!!!
Mr. Buch mentioned that I am presenting this report to the Chairman and confirming that everything WRONG is going in institute and no rules are followed. Director has confirmed to me during the investigation that there are 49 Faculty members are relatives of a family. As per Mr. Buch this institute is of National level technical institute where all faculty member are responsible to make it proud but not an Undertaking of Joint Family.
One Company awarded all the contracts...!!!
During investigation it is found that total 10 works awarded for the year 2006 worth Rs.750 Lacks for various jobs in the institute. Out of this Rs.676 lacks jobs awarded to M/S S S Construction Company only whose owner is Mr Sanjeev Saxena who is also an ex-student of this institute. Mr. Buch mentioned in his report that in such type of works particularly institute like MANIT number of contractor takes part,here only Five contractors participated in each tenders which is beyond acceptance. When this was discussed with Director he was unable to reply and it is found that there are lot of complaints for S S Construction but it seems Institute is in grip of Mr. Saxena. I strongly feel that Mr.Saxena has stopped other contractors to participate in tenders. I recommend that to get out of the clucthes from Mr Saxena a separate enquiry has to be conducted by Mr. A L Sancheti (Rtd C E). This institute should come out of Mafia of Contactor.
Toughest action required...!!!
Present Board of Governor and Central/State Govt. are requested to clean this institute from all dirt and immediate actions to be taken on all culprits.This institute should once again become the number one institute of National level. Present Director Mr. K L Panday is also in the hands of Sharma/Saxena party and he has promoted Mr Ashutosh Sharma as Dean. Also there are number of Deans has been promoted overruling the Seniority of faculty members. I recommend that all the Deans should not have administration responsibility but totally responsible for teaching only. Institute is also require a Good Registrar.
Why enquiry conducted...!!!
MHRD was gettimg lot of complaints from Parants/ Staff and contractors about all such activity in the institute. Mr. Buch has been given responsibility for conducting enquiry on 28th Nov 06 and Mr. Buch has submitted his report to MHRD in first week of June 07.
Mr Buch on report...!!!
I have done my job , now its MHRD to act upon it. I feel that this institute come out of this all and become National pride......
So , Friends now its time for all of us to take action ...!!!
Ask on RTI or put your remark on MHRD/ PM website !!
Save MACT !!!
