Unfortunate incident of suicide in MANIT

A second year Engg student, Rahul, committed suicide on Nov 15, 2008. I am posting the mails I got on the same as well as various news links/blog links about the incident.
To say the least, it is a very unfortunate incident, for such a young soul to give up on life.
I think the issue might get politicized and the true cause lost in chaos. there are two theories doing rounds.
one - the student was allegedly involved in ragging, accusation denied students. 
two -  the student was against the political nexus in the college and was victimized because of the same. 

I for one am not sure of the truth, I have seen truth being distorted beyond comprehension for the gain of a few.

Mail from MANIT Student

Respected sir,

I am a student of Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology Bhopal (NIT-B). As a student of this college I would like you take some action against the wrongdoers here.

Today a friend of mine namely Rahul Pathak (2nd year, Branch-Bio Informatics, Scholar no. - 071104117) committed suicide. The reason for this was the mental harassment that he was subjected to by the director and the various administrators of this college the name of whom I am enclosing along with this letter. This is not the first time that a student has been exposed to such devious methods and technologies and this would probably not be the last time that some one is forced to take such a course of action if no action is taken against the people who have done this. This originally started as a minor complaint logged against some of the students of 2nd year about a month back and some action was taken against them. The students concerned apologized and the whole matter did not crop up till a day before our end semester examinations. The students concerned were barred from writing the examination and even though they pleaded there case and even begged for forgiveness the director and the administrators still did not see it fit to forgive them. Instead they tortured and harassed them and even went to the extent of physically abusing. They did all this and to an extent in the name of petty politics to get the students to do their biddings. Not being satisfied with all that they did do the director even called up Rahul Pathak’s parents and verbally abused them using slang words. This was the final draw of the straw which depressed the victim completely and is the main reason for what has happened today. This is not how a director or any administrator should act but I can tell you that they have a past record of regularly misbehaving and abusing students and using them as mere pawns to do their bidding. Along with this there is a lot of political strings that are being pulled by some bullies here and I would like you to investigate in that regard also. I hope that my voice would be heard by you and would lead to some action.

A student of M.A.N.I.T

Dr Sharma might lose post of HoD

Director K S Pandey not taking action as per advise of MHRD hence at last Chairman Mr A N Singh has to take action. Read HT report . Another KPS Gill story......

  

The detail report of HT of  today as under-

 

Reverted to Asst Prof in major fallout of Buch Report

 

Dr Sharma might lose post of HoD

 

Following Approval of the Board of Governors (BoG) of Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT), Professor and Head of Department of Architecture and Planning Dr Ashutosh Sharma has been reverted to the post of Assistant Professor. This would mean that he couldn't hold the post of head of department anymore.

 

Also he has to be removed from any other administrative post he holds and is barred from holding any such post in future.

 

The Chairman of the Board of Governors Mr A N Singh signed the order himself on Tuesday after the Director Dr K S Panday and the registrar and member secretary of the BoG R K Diwedi refused to do so even after repeated instruction by chairman.

 

However neither the Director nor Chairman could be  contacted on the issue.

The Chairman reportedly wrote on the orders clearly that he had to sign the orders following refusal by the director and MS of BoG to do so.

The order also mentioned that Dr Sharma should not hold any position in future as he was found involved in irregularities , sources said.

Earlier Dr Sharma had been removed from the post of Dean of Administrative of the institute following directives of the chairman as fallout of the MN Buch committee report.

 

It may be mentioned that in his report ,M N Buch had recommended reversal of  Dr Sharma from the post as his interdisciplinary Phd was in question and made him ineligible to become a professor.

Upon the directives of the union HRD Ministry that accepted the Buch committee report in toto , the chairman had instituted an enquiry committee headed by former DGP of Chhattisgarh S N Shukla. The Shukla committee also reportedly came up with a report corroborating Buch report and the board of Governors of the institute accepted this enquiry report recently. However despite directives the the director was not issuing the orders of the reversal forcing the chairman BoG o sign the orders himself on Tuesday , sources said.

 

When contacted , Dr Ashutosh Sharma said that he was on medical leave and had not received any such order. He said that if any such action was taken against him it was a step personal vendetta by the chairman of the BoG  A N Singh as he ( Dr Sharma) had filed public interest litigation ( PIL) against the chairman questioning his eligibility in becoming the chairman of NIT , as he ( Singh) was neither engineer/technologist nor academician.

Faculty to parents of aspirants - II

This is the response posted to a few comments on the post Faculty to parents of aspirants

A student enters into the institute after completing school education with number of expectations and hopes. This is the reason why everyone wants a good institute which can develop many skills apart from knowledge in relevant areas. The criteria of campus selection in mere temporary and largely depends on market conditions. The environment in an institute is totally different than in a school. The teacher in the college has to play very important role as well as by the institute.
Broadly speaking a teacher has to be a role model for the student. He has to develop the skills of knowledge, organization, managerial, humanity, character, honesty, awareness towards country and society etc. The student always sees his teacher before inculcating above mentioned skills. If the majority of teachers are not to his expectations it is impossible to the student to develop in himself.
The institute has to provide the platform to develop above mentioned qualities. The infrastructure, systematic approach in educating the student and the impact and image of the institute in society play the important role.
Now any one can imagine that where our beloved institute and respected faculty stands? Newcomers are to be made aware from these facts.  There is no shame in telling that we are lagging for something. It means only that we know and accept our weaknesses. This is the only way of improving the various wrong things.

Faculty to parents of aspirants

This was posted by a faculty member


The time is coming for new admissions in B.E. courses. The parents of children appeared in AIEEE 2008 are requested to realise the image and ranking of MANIT BHOPAL. The institute is nowhere in top 20 best institutes of Engineering. So many NITS are better than this institute. A lot of politics, lack of quality teachers and unutilized infrastructure are some of the factors which are to be focussed. Some of the faculty are good but students have to undergo all courses which can not be taught by few good teachers. Please go through all factors and then decide. We faculty members are trying to improve the image and state of the institute but it will take some time.

Some more updates from faculty

This was posted as a comment

Hi Guys,

It is truly heartening to note that MHRD has finally woken-up to the bitter reality that MANIT is in a real mess,courtesy Sanjeev Saxena, Ashutosh Sharma and their extremely loyal agents,and an administrative surgery is urgently needed to save this severely bleeding institute.

Since an action on these people is forthcoming anyways,we need to concentrate on some other equally important issues now.

(1)There should be an immediate action against Dr.M.K.Gupta who circumvented all established norms and went on to become a Professor through a back-door entry made in broad day-light.This shameless man needs to be reverted back to the level of an Assistant Professor immediately (though going solely by his caliber,he does not even deserve to become an Assistant Professor,he is no better than a lab assistant...perhaps even lab assistants would be more capable and would have a better sense of morality and ethics!).He should also be made to vacate his Type - III house which he got by pure deceit and fraud.His machinations and misdemeanors against Dr.N.D.Mittal should not be forgotten either but then the Almighty will punish him for all such deeds,so let's not go into all that.

(2)We all understand that Mr.B.S.Bhatia,Mr.M.K.Jain and Mrs.N.R.Trivedi got demoted to the level of Assistant Professor almost a year ago,yet the MANIT website shows them as Professors.A correction should be pressed for in the MANIT website so that everybody comes to know that those who get promoted without the requisite qualification cannt stay there for long and have to forego their positions attained through shameless manipulations.It is very important to send a strong message of this nature to one and all.We should also enquire about financial recovery from these people by the college admin under RTI and ensure that it actually takes place.

(3)We should immediately press for a punitive administrative action against Mr. Harish Vaidya and Mr. Benny Abraham whose absorption in the institute is hundred percent illegal and should be declared null and void ASAP.They should relinquish what they achieved by making a mockery of all extablished norms.Their current financial assets should also be checked to ascertain the maginitude of their financial irregularities over the last few years.They are amongst the most dreaded money-eaters in this institute.

(4)We should also press for house-evacuation orders against ineligible people.This list is very long.It includes the same shameless,incompetent & spineless person Dr.M.K.Gupta,Mrs.Aruna Saxena(the wife of Sanjeev Saxena),Mrs.Archana Saxena(the sister of Sanjeev Saxena),Ms.Anshu Gupta(the sister-in-law of Sanjeev Saxena),Mrs. Anupama Sharma(who got her father's past house allotted to her immediately after her father's retirement),Ms.Preeti Omkar,Mr.Rishi Singh(that illmannered massive character in the Deptt.of Electrical Engg whose bulging tummy is ample proof of his money-eating and corrupt practices in the electrical maintenance section),Mr.Satish Pal Singh Rajput(the security incharge who has always operated as a visible agent of SS in unison with Manoj Sharma),Mr.Sarvesh Pal Singh Rajput(the younger brother of Satish Pal Singh Rajput,who is a good-for-nothing inclusion in this institute and whose presence itself confirms that the recruitment process of 2005 was indeed rigged!),Mr.R.K.Baghel(whose SC cerificate has always been contentious and a matter of dispute),Mr.Alok singh Baghel(the brother-in-law of Mr.R.K.Baghel),Mr.Junaid Raheem(practically a family member of the saxena family,naturally got showered with largesse over the last 2-3 years),Mr.Hira Lal Tiwari(how could this pure nerd make it to this NIT remains a suspense till now but if nothing could be done on his selection and five increments,atleast he should be forced to vacate the Type - IV house he was never eligible for!)and all similar cases.These people should immediately be asked to vacate their houses and financial recovery should be made from them because they were never eligible for such huge houses in the first place but got them by blatant manipulations.

(5)While continuing to press for action again Dr.Ashutosh Sharma,Mr.Abhay Sharma and Mrs.Aruna Saxena ; we should not forget the glaring cases of Mrs.Archana Saxena and Ms.Anshu Gupta because theirs have been highly controversial selections as well and even more controversial have been the advantages given to them afterwards.How did the institute select Mrs.Archana Saxena as an Asstt.Librarian in the scale of Rs.6500/- and how she got elevated to the scale of Rs.8000/- within few days ? Financial recovery should be made from her and she should be demoted back to the scale of Rs.6500/-.Also how could Ms.Anshu Gupta be sent for a P.G.course immediately after her joining in the institute when her probation period was on ? She needs to pay back the salary she earned in that period as she wasn't eligible for what she got.

(6)We have confirmed information about Mr.R.K.Baghel trying to manage his final PHD viva-voce examination in a hush-hush manner and though he has tried to keep it a highly guarded secret,the facts have come out in light now.His thesis needs a careful examination again as everyone is smelling a rat here.Remember these same people had initiated a vilification campaign against Mrs.Laxmi Kumhre on a simlar charge and had got her M.Tech. thesis cancelled on the same pretext just because her husband Mr. Sharad Kumhre had been at the forefront of this campaign to save MANIT from these monsters.

(7)There should be an equally strict action against the close asociates of Dr.Ashutosh Sharma,most of whom are corrupt to the core.Though there are so many eligible people here,for a start it's not a bad idea to concentrate on the post of Prof.Incharge Construction.This list inludes all faculty members who were Prof.Incharge Construction over the past few years.

The list starts with Dr.V.K.Gehlot who occupied this position though he is a Mechanical Engr.Apparently,the incentives associated with this position were far too attractive to ignore,so he unashamedly accepted & enjoyed this position.He is a known money-eater and a person with absolutely no sense of dignity or shame.Famous for all the wrong reasons one can imagine,it's difficult to understand how such a man can go on to become one of the deans in this institute.

Another close associate of Dr.Ashutosh Sharma is the former Head of the Department of Applied Mechanics(and more importantly,the PHD guide of the now infamous Mr.Abhay Sharma),Dr.M.S.Hora,who did so many financial irregularities of a serious nature in the past but let's site only one of them which is quite recent.This financial crime is similar to what has been reported in all bhopal newspapers about the Joint Director (Directorate of Health)Dr.K.K.Thassu.We have learnt from reliable sources & crosschecked it from many sources that when he went to IIT Kharagpur to participate in a conference along with another person,their complete travel expenses were borne out by a computer software company who sponsored their to-and-fro air tickets.But in his greed for making easy money,Dr.Hora took Second A.C. train fare from the college also by presenting false travel information/tickets.We have all documentary proof on this now and we would like to initiate an action against him on this count as this is a serious financial crime.Strict action should be taken against him for this serious offence.Surely,being Mr.Abhay Shrma's PHD guide does not give him a passport to commit all financial irregularities with utter disdain for the system.It needs to be re-emphasised that he has almost completely written the thesis of Mr.Abhay Sharma,which is a true indicator of his lack of morals & inclination towards corrupt practices.

The third person whose financial assets need to be examined immediately is the current Prof.Incharge Construction Dr.Anil Sharma who has always been famous for eating money and who has eaten lot of institute money in a short span of time.It should also be kept in mind that this man,who is a Civil Engr,is currently heading the Deptt.of Chemical Engg.

All three gentlemen mentioned here have also signed innumerable, (manipulated)house allocation orders in favour of ineligible people and it would only be proper for them to face the heat now.And though a number of heads of various departments have been very famous for eating imprest money allotted to their respective departments through fabricated vouchers,these three are there right at the top of that list also.Such things should definitely be examined by competent authorities.

(8)The institute needs to explain why Sanjeev Saxena has been given admission in the institute as a full-time PHD Scholar with stipend ? He is not even a post-graduate in architecture but has been given admission directly as a full-time PHD scholar and he draws a monthly stipend on the basis of managed attendance also.It is only in IITs that a graduate candidate can be directly admitted to the PHD program but this is done only in case of exceptionally talented & meritorious candidates and is very,very rare.How talented,meritorious(he completed his B.Arch.in 8-9 years,quite naturally!)and academically inclined Sanjeev Saxena is,we all know but were these facts not checked by the college admin? This is a clear case for a query under RTI.

(9)The Income Tax authorities should be requested to check and assess the current assets of Dr. Ashutosh Sharma and his close associates who have minted money in the last few years,Mrs.Aruna Saxena,
Dr.S.P.S.Rajput,Mr.R.K.Baghel
,Mr.Sanjay Soni,Dr.Anil Sharma(the current Prof.Incharge Construction who has been a puppet in the hands of Sanjeev Saxena),Dr.V.K.Gehlot,Dr.H.K.Khaira,Dr.J.L.Rana,
,Dr.M.S.Hora,Dr.A.K.Shandilya,Dr.Sushil Shrivastava,Mr.R.K.Dwivedi,
Mr.Rishi Singh(electrical-maintenance scam expert and a person responsible for the ill-treatment meted out to a sincere employee Mr.S.N.Tomar of the same section),Mr.Manish Pandey,Mr.Praveen Kaushik,Mr.Jagdish Singh,Mr.Junaid Raheem,Mr.Benny Abraham,Mr.Harish vaidya,Dr.Alok Mittal and Dr.Sanjay Sharma; all of whom have suddenly become very rich over the last two-three years(thanks to the shameless eating of world bank money and other institute resources) and have invested heavily in land,stocks and other investment instruments.

We need to come together and fight on all these issues as they are equally important,if not more important than the issues we have been fighting for all along.The corruption in this institute is manifold and manifesting inself in different forms.It is very important to clean the system once for all and discourage people from getting involved in such practices or playing in the hands of another Sanjeev Saxena (assuming that the institute gets rid of this guy in near future!).The struggle must go on till this institute is brought back to normalcy.

report of legal expert on affairs of NIT BHOPAL

Subject: Recruitment scam & order less administration in NIT, BHOPAL

 

Reference:MHRD  Orders, Letters, Guidelines,NIT Act

 

                            Some of staff members consisting of both teaching and non-teaching had approached and their plea has been discussed with a legal expert who is practicing in Supreme Court/Delhi High Court. His report is as under.

1    Director k.s.Pandey allowed to Dr Ashotosh Sharma to act on illegal post who ransacked govt. money, procedure and made the mockery of administration. K.S. Pandey preserved and protected 

the so called mafia.GOI should initiate a criminal case against him at once.

  

 2.  He,shri Pandey ,picked only indicted persons in probe to work as Registrar, Institute Engineer and many more as per his choice. As per law , faculty members can not function as administrative officers. He shunted administrative officers here and there. It is  his brainchild for this pathetic, ugly and shabby and eccentric way to plunder the govt.money .

3.       Regarding Absorption of officers :

Govt of India/BOG of institute rejected the issue as it was full of fictitious procedure. It was against the recruitment /absorption rules. Harish Vaidaya/BENNY must sent to their parent deptt.His charge as AR(estt) must be withdrawn and hand over to a permanent employee/officer. He is the key person to make money for k.s.Pandey as he is AR(account) also

Benny is store /purchase officer.Pandey gave them admission for MBA with out fee and

merit in NIT Bhopal.

 

 4   Still,the promations/upgradation/compassionate appointment etc of employees of pandey”s      choice  did not cancelled. K.S.Pandey is giving dodge to GOI/MINISTER,HRD.

 

5.      It was strange and callous that ks pandey generated fictitious posts such as DEANS,

PROF-IN –CHARGES, EIC DY.EIC and many more which is very much against the   NIT  ACT.He has to be punished as he is maintaining his own autonomy. Even he dispatched errant teachers to MHRD MINISTER to DELHI protest against the probe.Really, what a surprise in a temple of education of a national pride, next to IIT.

 

6.      It is ironical and eccentric that a man with mechanical engg degree has been made HOD       

(civil),who has selected Abay  Sharma and others legendary persons and accordingly   

rewarded with post of  EIC(prof in- charge const,civil works) &DEAN(planning &development) and he managed to convert a research engineer in to ASST.POFESSOR,even without such a easy going –friendly recruitment. Actually ,he should be probed thread by thread and layer by layer

 

     7    .The persons, involving in conducting interviews and later on issuing appointment letters           

and joinging on the posts despite the denial by MHRD ON 7-7-2005,a FIR should be lodge 

by GOI,MHRD and send them to behind the bars to relax. Law is equal for prime minister

to a peasants including dons.

 

 

8 .   It was a really a shock for Shri Arjun Singhjee,Minister,MHRD, who worked for poor

      people,students,Punjab problem and established land marks in social sector &expansion

of IITs/IIMs and several new institutions.

News in Bhopal HT

The Bhopal HT of date (4/4/08) published news as under-

MANIT Dean removed !!!

Institute Director gets Stern warning !!!

The controversial Dean ( Administration) Of Maulana Azad National College of Institute(MANIT) Dr Ashutosh Sharma was on Thursday removed from his post.However, he continues to hold the post of Head of Department of Architecture & Planning of institute.

Institute Director Dr K S Pandey issued an order removing Dr Sharma and appointing the Head of Energy Centre and Energy Engineering Dr Saroj Rangnekar as Dean Administration.

The Dean of Human Resource that was so far held by Dr Rangnekar has been abolished and Dean administration would henceforth look after the work pertaining to HR.
The removal of Dr Sharma from the important post was one of the recommendation of Mr Buch report.
WARNING TO DIRECTOR: The development came just a day after director Dr K S Pandey had meeting with the secertary of the MHRD Mr.R P Agrawal. The Director had been summoned to New Delhi by the Secretary in the context of the implementation of Mr.Buch Committee report. Sources said that the director was warned on the issue and asked to work as per the rules.He was also asked to put the house in order and ensure that no further irregularities took place. The Secretary is said to have told the director that ministry would take action upon the report by the Chairman within fortnight.

Recently,MHRD Minister Mr. Arjun Singh had told media persons in Bhopal that the ministry had accepted the recommendations of Buch Committee in Toto.

Dr. Sharma along with the students' council advisor of the head of training and placement cell Dr Aruna Saxena and assistant professor Dr Abhay Sharma were clearly mentioned in the Buch committee report as being involved in irregular appointment.

Chairman Mr A N Singh had in November2007 ordered the director to remove all these three persons from all important administrative posts , including that of Head of department. The removal of Dr Sharma from post of Dean administration is thus only partial implementation of the directives. The Chairman had also directed posting of senior most professors to the post of Dean (Administration) while Dr. Rangnekar is behind at least half dozen faculty members in seniority list, institute sources said.

Some Good News

Hi,

At last action has been taken in MANIT( MACT) as under :-

1. Mr Aushutosh Sharma removed from post of Administration Dean. However Still Head of Architecture and Planning.

2. Dr Saroj Rangnekar appointed as Dean Administration with immediate effect.

These actions immediately after meeting with Secretary MHRD Mr R P Agrawal at New Delhi. As per HT Bhoapl Director has been asked to take all action as per Mr Buch's report within 15 days. Director has also asked to put he house in order.

Will advise you further developments.

MANIT in news again


Recently there was a news in Dainik Bhaskar that Dr. K L Pandey( Director- MANIT) has found Dr Gayatri Agnihotri for increasing the marks of M Tech students to improve grade on student's request. Dr Agnihotri also convinced the external examiner Mr K K Patel and got his signature on record. All the proof about this are with the Director and still no action has been taken.Director Pandey confirmed to news paper " that mistakes has been found and therefore result has been withheld . This matter will be taken up in the next senate meeting to take action on concerned teacher."



In this matter, Dr Gayatri Agnihotri confirmed that she has been fabricated in this matter and details of report in news paper Dainik Bhaskar as under ( English Translation)-



Lady Teacher wants written clarification from Director



Senior Professor of MANIT has blamed administration for changing records.



In MANIT at administration level staff is blaming each other. In last week news paper has published the news about manipulation of marks in mark sheet. In this matter, senior professor has blamed the administration for doing all this and asked the reply from the Director.

Senior Professor Dr. Gayatri Agnihotri has confirmed to Dainik BHASKAR that she has been fabricated in this matter and administration has prepared the duplicate mark-sheet of student. She further clarified that she is not at all aware of this case and also this case is two year old which has come to light now -clearly indicates about the intentions of administration of MANIT. Dr Agnihotri has asked Director to provide her records of Controller of Exams in his reply to notice issued . Two month has been passed but Director has not provided anything to her and instead Director has informed the Press about this which clearly indicates the malafied intention of administration of MANIT



Dr Agnihotri has requested that all the records of administration for last two years has to be investigated to find out the scandals of administration in different activity . She raised the point that being senior professor Director do not have authority to issue notice to her as per policy of NIT. Director Pandey has accepted that he is unable to take action on her being senior professor therefore he will take matter in senate.

Drunken revelry during NASA

This was posted by "FacultyGroup" as a comment. Posting the same without any change.

Dear All,

This is another shocking eye-opener for all of us.

Go through what happened on that fateful night of 28th December(Friday)in the NASA function organized by Mahamahim Ashutosh Sharma Ji and decide by yourself where the institute stands and if some of us actually deserve to be in the teaching profession,forget about being in an NIT.

It all started on the first night of that much-acclaimed function NASA when there was a scheduled musical program by the famous group ARYANS.

It has been observed on many occasions in the past 3-4 years that a number of faculty members reach these programs in a highly drunk state and create all kinds of nuisance at the venue.Some of them are relatively senior faculty members like Jagdish Singh(the muscleman of Ashutosh Sharma in the Deptt.of Architecture),
K.K.Dhote(an agent of Ashutosh Sharma & Sanjeev Saxena),Sanjay Soni(an agent of Sanjeev Saxena),S.P.S.Rajpoot(a shameless agent of Sanjeev Saxena)and Dr.(?)R.K.Baghel(a well-known agent of Sanjeev saxena who joined MANIT on the basis of an alleged fake caste cerificate),etc.

These guys now have more support for their nefarious & potentially damaging activities for the reputation of the institute,coming from some of the luminaries who have joined the institute in 2005.Some of these known mahapurush are Sarvesh Pratap Singh Rajpoot(an obnoxious blot on the teaching profession,the younger brother of Satish Pal Singh Rajpoot),Junaid Raheem(an employee of Sanjeev Saxena who directly reports to him),Alok Singh Baghel(a known drunkard who comes to the college in a drunken state,is the brother-in-law of Dr.(?)R.K.Baghel),
Pushyamitra Mishra(the cobrother of Mr.Mukesh Pandey,Registrar,RGPV)
Akhilesh Soni(a passout of LNCT who joined MANIT through waiting list in 2005 because he happens to be the brother-in-law of Mr.Sanjay Soni),Neeraj Tiwari(a very indecent guy selected in that sanjeev saxena - ashutosh sharma managed selection show of 2005,was a faculty of Radharaman Institute before joining MANIT in 2005,was practically unemployed for many years before he was "adopted" by Sanjeev Saxena,is a well-disguised agent-cum-goon of Sanjeev Saxena),etc.

On 28th December night,the ARYANS started their program.
Parallely,another mehfil was going on at Mr.Sanjay Soni's official room in the Department of Applied Mechanics.It is an open secret now that the official institute rooms of some faculty members get converted into madiralayas and ahataas with the fall of night.These faculty members invite like-minded people to their rooms where they are provided "baithne ki uttam vyavastha" and unlimited access to wine,accompaniments and finally facility to womit inside & outside the rooms.The rooms that have now become notoriously famous for such a facility are Sanjay Soni's room,Jagdish Singh's room,Sarvesh Rajpoot's room and Raman Nateriya's room(this guy is the 'yes man' of Mr.Sanjay Soni,is also famous for regularly keeping one or more tenants in the official campus accommodation provided by the college).

Coming back to the mehfil,the surapaan mehfil at Mr. Sanjay Soni's official room was attended by many rasik faculty members,the names that surely deserve a mention are the magnanimous host,Raman Nateriya,Alok Singh Baghel,Sarvesh Rajpoot,Pushuyamitra Mishra,Akhilesh Soni,Neeraj Tiwari,Ashok Brahmane(a known drunkard who is a contract employee in the Electrical Maintenance Section of the instt.),S.P.S.Rajpoot,Rishi Singh,Manish Pandey,etc.

The mehfil continued till late in night and then this group of nashe mein dhutt sharabis decided to enjoy the ARYANS' performance.They reached the venue and immediately started the ruckus.These so-called faculty members climbed up the stage in the middle of a song and started making all kinds of vulgar postures forgetting that they were faculty members of a premier NIT.One of them in his overenthusiasm slipped from the stage and was seen limping afterwards but then such things happen with sharaabis.It was a very obscene & indecent visual not only for our students but also for students who had come from every nook & corner of the country to attend this mammoth function.To be honest,it was very difficult to believe that these guys were not slum-dwellers of Pampapur or Panchsheel Nagar and were actually a part of the faculty strength of this supposedly premier institute.

All this badtamizi happened in presence of Mahamahim Ashutosh Sharma Ji and his family including his wife & that nincompoop brother Abhay Sharma whose Ph.D. thesis has now been almost completely written & typed by Dr.M.S.Hora(inspite of a peculiar health problem because of which Dr.Hora finds it difficult to sit for long hours).

As if this wasn't enough,these faculty members came down and misbehaved & abused a number of students of MANIT & other institutes.They did not spare girls either,in fact it appeared that they were looking for them rather desperately.The girls were abused in the worst possible manner through four-lettered foul words in Hindi.The most important characters here were Sarvesh Rajpoot,Alok Singh Baghel,Pushuyamitra Mishra,Akhilesh Soni,Neeraj Tiwari,Ashok Brahmane and Raman Nateriya ; all of whom specialize in indecent language,foul words and obscenity of the worst kind.Some of these guys went to the extent of openly hurling dirty abuses at Mahamahim Ashutosh Sharma Ji who himself is responsible for the creation of these BHASMASURS.Finally,these guys had to be controlled by the organisers and even some force had to be used with atleast two of them who had gone berserk.

Considering what happened and what could have happened on that night,we were extremely fortunate that it did not become more serious and no molestation attempt was made or could be made like what happened in Bombay and Delhi on New Year's Eve.However the way things are moving,even such a horrendous scenario is not a distant possibility.

Nobody is safe in this environment and most faculty members prefer not to attend such functions because they are absolutely sure that the faculty members named here can stoop down to any level and can cause any serious damage to their families(especially the women).It's a real shame that such indecent & vulgar behaviour is surfacing not only from some precious gems selected in 2005 but from some relatively senior faculty members also who,on Mahamahim ashutosh Sharma Ji's encouragement,are breaking all moral barriers.What is even more disturbing & objectionable is that the institute admin is plain and simple indifferent to this vandalism. 

We got feedback from a number of students of MANIT,students from other institutes and some other sources also.We also came to know that there was a specific verbal as well as a written complaint by a number of male & female students against these faculty members for their all-too-visible indecent behaviour but no action could be taken against the errants because the top admin requires a No Objection Certificate from Lauhpurush Sanjeev Saxena Ji(the owner of this private institute MANIT)to take any step in any connection.Since all these guys are proven and loyal agents of Mahamahim Ashutosh Sharma Ji and Lauhpurush Sanjeev Saxena Ji,no action could be taken,not even a show-cause notice for the unimaginably unruly & indecent behaviour of these hooligans.

Now may we ask some questions..

(1)Who are criminals ? We or these people ? Mahamahim Ashutosh Sharma Ji,please throw some light on this.

(2)Who are the people hellbent on bringing this institute down ? We or this bunch of lumpen drunkards ?

(3)Who are using the official institute rooms as ahataas and madiralayas ? We or these people ? Why the official institute rooms are being allowed to be used as ahataas and madiralayas by these faculty members ? Is the institute also providing some wine-allowance to a select band of faculty ?

(4)Why the institute has become the personal fiefdom of the Saxena family whose rags to riches story is here for everybody to see ?

(5)Why there are tenants in the official accommodation allotted to some faculty members like Raman Nateriya ? 

(6)Why the agents of Sanjeev Saxena,like that cheap character & heavy drinker Neeraj Tiwari,are allowed to openly use abusive language in the corridors of the institute and target not only senior faculty but students also ? Why this goon of Sanjeev Saxena,who is neck-deep in his coaching business, is allowed to force students of MANIT to join his coaching ? 

(7)Why the top admin needs to take NOC from Sanjeev Saxena for any action ? Why Sanjeev Saxena does not become the Chairman BOG or assume the responsibilities of the top admin if he is actually calling the shots ?

Please understand that this incident will never be reported in newspapers because the DB journalist who was very active in bringing true facts to light has been pressurised by the newspaper owners not to report anything damaging to Mahamahim Ashutosh Sharma Ji.

We finally leave it to your wisdom to decide who stands where,where this institute is going and who are the people responsible for this.

May the year 2008 see a new dawn and some divine intervention save this institute which is sinking to unimaginable depths.Days are not far when it will be difficult to differentiate this institute from Saifia,Benazeer or Ravindra College.Will this institute then become an IIT or ITI..your guess is as good as ours!

Detailed mail on our esteemed director

This article was mailed by an Alumni.....

Contribution of Dr K.S.Pande in downfall of MANIT in active collaboration with mafia and with sole aim of keeping his chair as Director
We gathered at MANIT after twenty five years for our silver jubilee celebration. We met the Director he behaved very rudely with us and even did not come to the function. We are really pained to see our Institute in such bad shape. We came to know that MANIT received 20 crores in TEQIP under World Bank fund apart from regular MHRD budget in crores of rupees. In the institute no significant change was visible which could justify the use of such huge amount of money. We came to know from media report about the irregularities at MANIT reported by Buch committee enquiry. We were surprised to see that Ashutosh Sharma although very junior inspite being indicated in almost all Irregularities by Buch report was continue Dean Administration and address the gathering as incharge Director whereas many of the reputed senior Professors were sitting as audience. After visiting Institute we are convinced that most of the findings of Buch committee seems to be correct. We came to know from the local alumni, various magzens (India Today, Outlook, Crimlook etc.) and news paper the following points .
Financial Irregularities:
1. Dr K.S.Pande out of the ten approved works worth Rs 7,50,31,000/ under TEQIP and annual plan for the year 2006 when he was exclusively in the office has awarded works worth Rs 6,76,61,000/ i.e 90% of the work to only one company M/s S.S. Construction owned by Mr Sanjeev Saxena and in all the cases the tenders were received from only three selected companies. It has been the finding that the bidding had been rigged. Dr K.S.Pande had not been able to answer that he permitted cartelization. Mr Buch committee has recommended detailed inquiry.
2. Contract for Management Information System was given in the year 2005-06 to Anil Jain a close associate of Dr.K.S Pandey and Ashutosh Sharma for Rs.20 lacs. Total work involved automation of Administration, Academic, Accounts and Library. Two years have passed no significant progress is done. Except compilation of attendance which has been done by students in other Institutes free of cost. Even this software is not working satisfactorily. Moreover the result of Ist year UG &PG could not be declared along with other result as the software was not ready. Without any appreciable work 12 lacs have been paid to him. There was already one software developed earilier by other person for examinations work for few thousand and was working quite satisfactorily his contract was terminated in Dec-Jan 2005 after Dr Pandey joined.
3. Contract of networking was given by Dr.K.S.Pandey to Accel Frontline for Rs 1.5 crores. Networking has been done only in the Institute and hostel but not working. Inspite of that 80% i.e. 1.2 crore has been paid.
4. In middle of Dec’07 various advances in the name of eight wardens (Rs.25,000 each) for hostel maintenance, D.R.Singh mess superwiser (Rs.50,000) for catering, Namita Shrivastav warden girls hostel (Rs 75,000), Anupama Sharma A.P. B.Arch. (Rs35,000), K.K.Dhota A.P. B.Arch. (Rs50,000). Out of which some advances are given by Dr.Pandey and some by Ashutosh Sharma. From the time of advance it is clear that the above money is going to used for NASA of which Ashutosh is coordinator. Professor Incharges & hostel wardens are given advances in lacs of rupees by Dr.K.S.Pande agaist the Institute policy/norms which discourages the advance practice.
5. As per AICTE/Govt. norms faculty is sanctioned in the ratio of 1:15 at present total sanctioned strength of faculty is 190 at MANIT. Out of which 170 are existing as regular faculty and only 20 were vacant in 2006. Against these 20 vacant post 80 contract lecturer were taken @ 12000/- per month along with many visiting faculty which is clear misuse of institute money to oblige the near and dear of the director. Few UG and PG courses have been started only in July 2007.
6. As per AICTE norm non teaching staff is permitted 1:1.5 of teaching faculty our teaching faculty is 190 and 1.5 times becomes 285 can be taken at the most twice, than also it comes to 380. MANIT have 472 regular nonteaching employee which is more than the sanctioned strength, hence non teaching are already surplus. Inspite of this Dr. K.S.Pandey has given contract to Manoj Sharma Eagle Security and labor supplier who is close to Ashutosh Sharma. The NIT was issued only for general sanitation on 08.11.2005. Whereas order was also given to supply skilled & nonskilled worker for institute work and Skilled Gardner and Unskilled Gardner for horticulture. The following are the figures for only 2006 for which order were issued on 31.01.2006 by Ashutosh Sharma. The order was extended for year 2007 to the same contractor Manoj Sharma with out fresh NIT.
(The contractor Manoj Sharma is facing police case in connection with the employment of security staff at MANIT also he was behind the bar for some times)
2006 No. Rate Duration Amount
Sanitary 33 @3681 11 month 121473=00
Unskilled 21 @3681 11 month 77301=00
Skilled 28 @4496 11 month 125888=00
Unskilled Gardner 16 @3681 11 month 58896=00
Skilled Gardner 20 @4496 11 month 89920=00
In the past horticulture work was managed well with the regular gardener and only 20 unskilled labour at central SOR rate i.e. @ 93=00 per day per person was followed and there was no skilled gardner.
NIT was given on 02.07.2007 , again order is given to Manoj Sharma
2007 No. Rate Duration Amount
Unskilled 41 @4415 11 month 181015
Skilled 57 @6404 11 month 365028
Sweeper 33 @4415 11 month 145695
7. Work order has been issued by Ashutos Sharma, nether photo nor the certificate of the skilled/unskilled worker have put in the files. If only sweepers case is compared to the earlier years as follow
Tenure No. Rate Duration Amount
Dr.Chande’s tenure (2004-05) 22 @3319 11month 73018=00
Dr. Pandey’s tenure (2005-06) 33 @3319 11 month 109527=00
Dr. Pandey’s tenure (2006-07) 33 @4415 11 month 145695=00
The following figures paid for contract workers show expenditure on then has increased manifold whereas Institute space building, hostels are same till today. Only two new blocks have added under TEQIP they are utilized since Oct.07.
Actually only 22 sweeper are working because no additional building were there till now. Above table show that now payment is more than two times.
As class IV employee are surplus. In past out of these employee they are working as watchman, gardener etc. therefore there is no need of these extra contract employee because even regular IV class employee are not having sufficient work as per rule.
8..Security contract with heavy inflated payment of rupees one crore extra compred
to past year. Dr.K.S.Pandey has given security contract in the name of Colonnel Choudhary who is settled in Delhi flouting rules of Director General Resettlement which requires at least ninety percent security guards should be retired arm force employees whereas at MANIT majority of them police home guards and other are private.
Contract of security guard to Manoj Sharma a very close associate of Ashutosh Sharma. Colonnel Choudhary is whose name security is given alongwith Manoj Sharma who is supervising were arrested. Colonnel got anticepatery bail but Manoj Sharma was jailed now he is on bail for employing security guard with forged documents. The following table give you the an idea about that how the institute money is eating away by these people.Apart from this the number of security guards are not 132 but actually only 70-75 in the field.
Tenure No. Duration Amount
Dr.Chande’s (2004-05) 70 11month 38,00,000/-
Dr. Pandey’s (2005-06) 132 11 month 138,00,000/-
Dr. Pandey’s (2006-07) 132 11 month 138,00,000/-
9. Mobile Phones: Dr.K.S.Pandey has appointed dozen of incharges, eight Deans and no.of heads of new ranches & created new centre (GIS) Remote sensing to satisfy Aruna Saxena w/o of Sanjeev Saxena along with Professor Training and Placement officer, to get their blind support he is liberally helping administration and financially. He has provided around 20 to 30 mobile phones to them with unlimited call for which Institute is paying around 50 to 60 thousand per month.
10. Dr K.S.Pande back dated promotion of Dr Ashutosh Sharma as professor along with his cohorts after four years giving all of them retrospective benefits, a huge financial outgo from the public fund against the rules..(Back dating promotion and pay fixation)
11. In the tenure of Dr K.S.Pande One has not to go far in getting to know about the massive financial irregularities in MANIT if one gives a casual look at the MANIT “Annual Report and Audited Annual Accounts Cum Audit Report 2005-06”, an authentic official document published in 2007, which is submitted to the MHRD and later laid on the table of both houses of the parliament one finds amazing instances of corruption reveled in the Annual report itself.
12. For example, in the section 11.0 titled “Report on the Accounts of the MAULANA AZAD NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BHOPAL FOR THE YEAR 2005-06” dated 01.05.07, Sri J N Gupta, the Principal Accountant General (Civil and Commercial Audit), Madhya Pradesh, finds that the institute “assets were understated by Rs. 279.19 lakh” and significantly “Bank reconciliation of main bank account was not conducted for the year 2005-06. As a result there was a different of 160.66 lakh between cashbook and account as on 31st March 2006”. One carore appears to be a very small amount as far as Central Govt. is concerned. In the financial year 2005-06 Dr K.S.Pande was the Director from Nov 05 to Mar 06. For the whole year Apr 06 to Apr 07 what he has done to safe guard against such an observation?
13. If disclosed financial year 2006-07 would be no better in which he was the whole time Director.
14. The Principal Accountant General himself laments over the prevailing state of affairs, “As per bank reconciliation statement, transactions from 2001-02 are to be reconciled. Due to delay in bank reconciliation there are possibilities of misappropriation and frauds…” When the audit comments came by 01.05.07 Dr K.S.Pandey has completed one and half years of Directorship. For how much time out of a tenure of 5 years he can keep on claiming that he is new.
15. In the tenure of Dr K.S.Pande so far no essential regulatory mechanisms have been implemented by the institute, facilitating financial irregularities. As a consequence, the Principal Accountant General makes important observations about the National Level Institute “The Institute does not have any Accounting Manual and Audit wing in the Institute to safeguard against the errors and irregularities in operational and financial matters…. No internal audit and control procedures have been adopted by the Institute”. This action is deliberate to avoid observations
16. In the tenure of Dr K.S.Pande also there have also been significant lapses in maintaining proper documentation of Accounts, a fact that speaks volumes about how financial irregularities may be concealed. The Principal Accountant General remarks “No consolidated Balance Sheet, Income and Expenditure Account, receipts and payments Account have been prepared…Institute is maintaining five sets of Accounts……which does not give complete view of financial position of MANIT.” No efforts have been deliberately made to correct the status.
17. In the tenure of Dr K.S.Pande it is anybody’s guess as to why a National level institute of excellence fails to maintain proper account records, does not have the essential regulatory mechanism in place, and does not reconcile the institute bank account for several years and Dr K.S.Pande is not bothered about such a situation at all.
18. In the tenure of Dr K.S.Pande he has been generous and closed his eyes giving the ruling clique in MANIT a free hand to run it as a private limited company or more appropriately as a proprietorship firm and allowed to flay the fundamental accounting and audit rules.
19. Dr K.S.Pande made full help to Dr Ashutosh Sharma defend his personal promotion which was under scrutiny in the report as published in the press at the financial expense accounts of MANIT.He was kept in the office of Dean Admin and allowed to personally supervise his case on account of MANIT. The Ph.D student of Dr Ashutosh Sharma ,Mr Dhote was specially allotted the duties of Prof in/charge Legal cell and given free hand to be in Jabalpur change Advocate at exorbitant fee over and above the fee permissible and payable as per the prescribed rates by the Union Ministry of Law.The matter did not end Dr K.S.Pande has also submitted false affidavits and stated inflated account for Dr Ashutosh Sharma in the affidavit submitted on behalf of the Central Govt.
20. Dr Ashutosh Sharma had gone to Thailand for some assignment circulated only to himself. He came to India midway for his personal work however he was paid the second to & fro fare from MANIT funds.
Administration Irregularities:
1.Dr K.S.Pande the present Director all the time excuses claiming nothing wrong has been done during my tenure. However the inquiry ordered by the MHRD as per the Terms of Reference covered the inquiry into the conduct of Dr K.S.Pande and it contains adverse remarks against him including his inability to reply to the Mr Buch committee on specific aspect of financial irregularity in awarding contracts to Mr Sanjeeva Saxena and he was answer less to the query of the Mr Buch Committee.The following are few jottings of his tenure.
2. There is specific finding in the report that Dr K.S.Pande allowed himself to be played in the hands of Dr Ashutosh Sharma .This speaks about the stature of the person who claims himself to be appointed by the Cabinet Committee of the Appointments. It has been specifically been the finding that he appointed Dr Ashutosh Sharma as Dean Administration and gave him plenary powers. It shows the inefficiency of Dr K.S.Pande in controlling his much junior Dr Ashutosh Sharma and how he can be a suitable person to lead such a big institute.
3. It has been the finding of Mr Buch committee that Dr Ashutosh Sharma designed himself as Deputy Director despite the fact that he had not been so appointed officially and it was in the tenure of Dr K.S.Pande as Director of the MANIT from the time he took over as Director of the MANIT on 04-11-5 till he changed his appointment to a abolished post of Dean administration virtually with the same plenary powers. The reasons of closing eyes on such irregularity in the appointment just next to him and giving him powers over his seniors shows the inefficient capacity of Dr K.S.Pande. He needs to answer the reasons for continuance of such a irregularity and allow a person to play with a institution as per his whims and fancies. The reasons for such allowance and nexus between Dr K.S.Pande & Dr Ashutosh Sharma has to be made public.
4. Dr Ashutosh Sharma was handed over as the officiating Director while Dr K.S.Pande was away on some BOG resolution never made public and the basis of such a decision by the BOG and Dr K.S.Pande has not even spared the High Court in filing affidavit in support of Dr Ashutosh Sharma in this regard. There is a greater nexus in this affair which has to be made public.
5. Dr K.S.Pande appointed large number of Deans without any basis. Appointment at senior level to show nepotism is against the functioning of the MANIT. This all was done under the influence of the mafia operating in MANIT.
6. Clear cut instructions had been received from MHRD against the largesse distributed by the mafia to please the MANIT staff so that they close their eyes against their activities but the finding of the Mr Buch committee was that the action on this issue was being delayed by Dr K.S.Pande so that the MANIT staff can move to the Court if beneficial .All this coming from a person claiming to have been appointed by the Cabinet Committee of the Appointments. A work against the very Govt. Dr K.S.Pandey definitely requires this question to be answered. As a matter of fact Dr K.S.Pandey organized a meeting on 27-4-7 and allowed fireworks conducted in the MANIT building on 03-8-07 when the PIL in this regard was not admitted by the High Court.
7. Dr K.S.Pande was the Secretary of the BOG on 05-12-5 when the BOG approved irregular benefits to Chairman & members and did not point out the irregularity being responsible to do so being the Principal Administrative & Academic Officer of the MANIT.
8. It has been specifically stated that the burden of all the ills is being passed on to the Chairman whereas it was the responsibility of Dr K.S.Pande as Director to advise him correctly and if the Chairman not agreeing with his note of dissent but Dr K.S.Pande never did it and allowed the deterioration to continue.
9. Dr K.S.Pande was the Secretary of the BOG when the resolution to amend the House allotment rules were placed for ratification and he did not raise any objection a most blatant failure. Similarly he did not bother to put any check when the Chairman gave him written instructions taking receipt on the letter from him to implement the allotment as per rules. But he continued to work under dictates of mafia.
10. In the tenure of Dr K.S.Pande over and above the regular faculty of MANIT the near and dear ones of the newly recruited faculty who were exposed to the channel now were given contract appointments. The appointments given have no relation with the teaching load in MANIT whatsoever.
11. Help to mafia in furthering their unfinished agenda: In rare of rarest efficiency in a government department the confirmation order of the faculty appointed in the year 2005 were issued on the dotted dates in Jul 07 on which they completed probation period. What a efficiency ? and definitely he is entitled for a first prize from the Central Govt. and should be elevated to higher level in the administration in the Central Govt. Showing of this hurry after the submission of the report and finding the suspect nature of these appointments shows the credentials of Dr K.S.Pande Dr K.S.Pande is not that innocent he can himself see his confirmation order as lecturer. When his own confirmation order was issued or any other faculty in MANIT,the likely nature of delay in issuance of such orders and what was such an urgency once very clear remark was there to hold Inquiry in all the appointments in last two years,
12. Dr K.S.Pande has intentionally kept the permanently appointed Security Officer under suspension and appointed a Security Officer on contract so that the Security business can be easily controlled by the mafia who actually has the power of attorney to operate and the actual security agency is not operating.
13. Dr K.S.Pande permitted two of the senior faculty to work in Radhraman College one out of them Dr Agrawal has even been permitted to keep the house in the campus for indefinite period. This type of privilege is accorded to few people only. This has been done when he was holding the dual appointment as Chairman and Director. Dr Rana has been permitted to go inspite of there being no Professor in the Computer Engg. Deptt.
14. The strongest administrative skill which Dr K.S.Pande has acquired in that he declines to accept any letter from any body if it has even a slight hint against any lapse on part of the administration, any way remotely against the deeds of the mafia or in which any decision is required to be taken which may not be liking to the mafia. Safely a prize can be put if any body can bring any receipted letter by his staff and there would be no claimants. Highest attainment in administrative process. He boasts privately that he has not given receipt of any mail and nothing could be done to him. Even Mr Jhalani had to resort to getting his personal signatures on the directions which he issued in matter of allotment of houses and appointment of Deans on seniority basis.
15. In the tenure of Dr K.S.Pande inspite of the enforcement of the NIT Act and in full knowledge of it being enforced no plans were intentionally made so that the old mafia gang continues as long as feasible except selective implementation in premature compulsory retirement of Mr Ajit Narayan to pave the way for appointing a person suiting to the mafia in the game plan.
16. Most illegal compulsory retirement of the appointed Registrar and selection of a handpicked man for the post-How strong is the hold of the mafia on the Dr K.S.Pande can be gauged from the fact that the appointed Registrar of MANIT was kept out of his primary duties for the last 2 years and his important functions continued to be assigned to a novel appointment of Professor in/charge Administration which was always under the control of the mafia to get leverage at the same time to put check on the dissenting faculty the incumbent being famous Prof R.K.Baghel but with the enforcement of THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF TECHNOLOGY ACT, 2007 wef 10th August, 2007 which was communicated through a letter dated 24th August, 2007 by Government of India, MHRD, New Delhi vide letter No.F.20-22/2004-TS.III, dated 24th August, 2007 making it mandatory for the Director to assign him his statutory duties so seeing red warning the incumbent Registrar was given the compulsory retirement in a well planned game plan on a dead resolution passed by the Board of Governors in the hay days of Mr Jhalani as Chairman in December 5,2005 (approx two years back) through an order of the Director Dr K.S.Pandey F.No.11/10(1)/713 dated 28-09-2007 made public on 01-10-7, 29 & 30 Sep 2007 being holidays at the same time a handpicked Mr R.K.Dwivedi Asstt Workshop Supdt was appointed as the Offg Registrar through a order dated N0.11/10(1)/572 dated 28-09-2007 but for unknown reasons made public on 09-10-7.All this because as per section 18. (1) of THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF TECHNOLOGY ACT, 2007 the funds of the Institute were to be committed to his charge making life difficult for the mafia so this advance game plan. This was done inspite of fully knowing the illegality of the appointment of the BOG.
17. In the tenure of Dr K.S.Pande No public disclosure of the new mandatory disclosures under section 4 of the RTI Act 2005 in terms of new NIT Act 2007 enforced since last one and half months.
18. Dr K.S.Pande made full efforts to allow Prof R.K.Baghel in feeding false information to the police and knowingly allowed him to destroy the evidence in the form of caste certificate of SC issued in the year 1991 when Prof R.K.Baghel joined MANIT. Dr K.S.Pande cannot feign ignorance about the language of the letter which was written to SDM, Chindwara. Can a Director claiming to be appointed by Cabinet Committee of the Appointments so naïve that that he would allow the concerned officer to continue in the very appointment as Prof in/charge Administration and hold documents may be through his subordinate staff at the same time being under inquiry concerning the personal document submitted by him for claiming personal benefits of the appointment. A document issued at a later date in the year 1997 was only inquired and accepted by him and police also convinced in accepting that. The reason for allowing complete silence on the caste certificate issued and submitted in the 1991 when he joined the service is full of mystery and a great help to Prof R.K.Baghel. In place of ordering any inquiry in mysterious disappearance of the SC caste certificate of Prof R.K.Baghel issued in the year 1991 or taking any action Dr K.S.Pande consoles Prof R.K.Baghel by visiting his residence.
19. In the tenure of Dr K.S.Pande most important reason for this state of affairs is non implementation of RTI properly and effectively. The Director’s office as a matter of rule does not give any acknowledgement of any letter submitted to it and he boasts in private that he has not given acknowledgement to any body so far and nothing could be done to him. Repressive administrative measures are initiated against any body asking acknowledgement of his letter/RTI. The reports like Annual Report are kept as a secret and cannot be seen by lesser mortals.
20. Dr K.S.Pande also have experience and expertise in how to come out of inquiry reports in various ways including auditing done from favourable Chartered Accountant. One old (CVC) inquiry against Dr.J.L.Rana in the affairs of MP STEP has been consigned to dustbin by him and the person is happily on deputation to the private institution owened by Sanjeev Saxena granted lien in his dual capacity as Chairman and Director. The MANTI have themselves to initiate action but he is keeping quite concealing all the documents giving impression as if the other agencies have to take action
Academic Irregularities:
1. In the tenure of Dr K.S.Pande in order to reserve vacancy for himself in Metallurgist and his wife in Chemical Engg. He has started Metallurgy and Chemical Branches w.e.f. 2007.
2. The self promotion did not stop at opening own branch but utilization of the library funds for subscribing the leading journals from Elsevier at the cost of the MANIT funds at the same time ignoring the claim of the main line branches of the MANIT as if the first year students of these branches would start their studies through the world class research only without even studying the graduation level fundamentals.
3. One favourite pastime of Dr K.S.Pande is to call his wife in so called expert lectures under TEQIP or some or the other pretext of inauguration at MANIT off cource on great insistence from the faculty and students of MANIT a nice way to take air fare from the MANIT funds for the visit of his wife. What utility can be there of her so called expert lectures a Chemical Engineer? It can be anybody’s guess.
4. M.Tech-Earlier it was purely on GATE purformance.Intentionally institute level exam has been introduced whereas this exam standard is quite inferior compared to national level GATE to to accommodate near and dear of Dr.Pandey and Ashutosh Sharma.
5. For Ph.D. course work is prerequiste even to the faculty who is teaching in this Institute for past few years but to exempt Abhay Sharma brother of ashutosh Sharma who has joined fresh as Assistant Professor without teaching experience all Assistant Professor has been exempted.This exemption is approved by a committee of two dean and PG coordinator.
6. Ph.D. degree has been diluted to such an extent that sanjeev Saxena who is throughout supplementary holder in Architecture and has been given admission as full time Ph.D. scholar with Rs12000-/-pm scholarship with only B.Arch i.e. without P.G.b this is the first case of its kind. Even the position holder without P.G. could not get this opportunity.
7. In Architecture deptt., It Seems that Ashutosh Sharma is the only efficient guide in this Institute. Under his supervision three Ph.D degrees have been awarded without any significant publication since the start of Ph.D. programme during past three years in Arch. . On the contrary other research scholar having eight to ten publication in respected proceeding in engineering & sciences deptt. have not submitted yet.
Other matter-.
Manhandling of the first year students-Being sadist Dr K.S.Pande enjoys great pleasure in troubling others. In the first meeting with the first year students in the beginning of the 2007-08 session he manhandled few students in front of the faculty and other students.
2. Extra favaour to Bhaghel family of Ex employee of MANIT at the cost of
Institute money
(a)Flouting all rules and regulations he has appointed Pankaj Baghel as class IV employee on compassionate ground out of the way giving special faviour although his father death has not been confirmed whereas other wards of deceased employees children are still waiting for the compassionate ground.
(b)During past many years Mrs Saroj Baghel was retaining institute accommodation without paying rent. Rs.2,50,000/- was penalty as per institute norms against her, which has been exempted by Dr.Pandey and only nominal amount has been deposited by her. It is clear drain of institute money.
(c)As class IV employee Pankaj Baghel is entitled for IX type quarter and can be allotted if it is vacant. But Dr Pandey allotted VII/43 to him which is two type higher violating house allotment rules.
(d)Dr.Pandey sanctioned big amounts in lakh rupee for putting tiles in her kitchen, bathroom etc. and making shed and got all renovation in his presence.
(e)Institute cars with drivers are freely used by this family.
3. Extra favour to Sanjeev Saxena family who is ruling this institute:
(i)Aruna Saxena appeared for interview to the Asstt.Prof. post on July 2005 in Arch Deptt. Nest day she appeared for the post of training Placement officer in professor scale and was selected as Asstt Prof. In Arch. Deptt. And Professor Training Placement officer with no experience as Asstt. Prof.. Whereas even to be eligible to apply for professor as per AICTE norms minimum five year experience with Ph.D. is must.
(ii) Aruna Saxena e was allotted type III/34 Bungalow before the handed over the new houses to the institute. Dr. Pandey and Asutosh Sharma allowed demolition and reconstruction of newly construction bungalow as per specification of Aruna Saxena w/o Sanjeev Saxena. Out of eight bungalows this particular house has been provided with luxurious amenities for this institute has spent lakhs of rupees. This expenditure has been added in the total cast of new houses, to satisfy particular family that too very junior faculty. Where as center Govt. rules says that even 10% alteration for senior officer need special permission from the govt. and no extra construction can be done even by the employee.
(iii)Major chunk of the TEQIP money was spent on setting up GIS center for Aruna Saxena although proposal for GIS was initially put up from Civil department where a Dr.Katiyar in Ph.D from IIT Kanpur in GIS.
(iv)Only Aruna Saxena was sent for three month course to Germany under TEIQP.
(v)Huge amount of money has been spent on renovation of Training placement office after she has taken over charge T & P.
(vi)Sanjeev Saxena’s sister-in-law Anshu Gupta was sponsored for M.Arch at Dehradun just after joining fresh lecturer whereas no body can be sponsored before confirmation as per institute rule.
