Centre awaits inquiry report on NEHU

Shillong, Nov 28: The Union Ministry of Education is awaiting the report of the two-member committee constituted to inquire into the allegations against North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) vice-chancellor PS Shukla and mismanagement and administrative failures of the university authorities.

This was informed by BJP leader and cabinet minister AL Hek, who recently led a party delegation to meet Union Minister of State for Education in New Delhi.

“We (delegation) have briefed him (MoS) and submitted a letter in regards to the NEHU issue. They know very clearly (on the issue) and had accordingly sent a two members to inquire into the matter. They are now waiting for the report,” Hek told reporters.

“As far as my knowledge goes, the report is complete but yet to be submitted (to the ministry),” he said.

Asked on the demand for removal of the VC, Hek said almost all the stakeholders of the university right from the student body (NEHUSU), teachers’ association (NEHUTA & MeTTA) and non-teaching staff (NEHUNSA) have submitted petitions against the present VC.

“So if their (stakeholders) version is true, and if you keep the same VC, work culture will no longer be smooth in NEHU,” he stated.

Agitating students suspended their indefinite hunger strike after 16 days, but classes still remain stalled as the students have been adamant on their demand for removal of the VC, irrespective of the findings of the inquiry committee.

All the stakeholders have also met the two-member committee and sent a clear message to the Centre that returning of the incumbent VC would be unacceptable to them.
