Marksheet scam in Gulbarga University: loss pegged at ₹11.67 crore
A multi-crore marksheet scam has been reported in the Department of Evaluation of Gulbarga University, in which marksheets were printed in violation of the government orders. A committee headed by S.R. Niranjana, Vice-Chairman of Karnataka State Higher Education Council, has conducted a probe into the issue and submitted a report to the government stating that the university has suffered a loss of about ₹11.67 crore due to the printing of marksheets in violation of the rules. Minister for Higher Education M.C. Sudhakar revealed this in response to a question raised by Talwar Sabanna, MLC, in the Legislative Council session The previous BJP government implemented National Education Policy (NEP-2020) in the higher education sector in 2021-22. As per the rules of NEP, instead of physical marksheets, it is mandatory to issue digital marksheets to students who have completed their degrees. After the results of various examinations, the digital marksheets are uploaded in DigiLocker. Students can download these marksheets using their login credentials. But, Gulbarga University violated the government order and printed marksheets from 2021-22 to 2024-25. The university obtained these marksheets from the government press. Since digital marksheets were mandatory, the university did not distribute these printed marksheets to any student. As a result, the marksheets of more than five lakh undergraduate and postgraduate courses had remained in the university godown. The syndicate members of the university had objected to the printing of marksheets in violation of the rules, after which the State government had formed a committee headed by Prof. Niranjana to investigate the issue. The report, in addition to the financial loss, has also framed charges against 11 people, including the university's Registrar (Evaluation). 'The names of the officers/staff members who were there during that period, and their designations have been given. After examining the report, it has been found that Gulbarga University has illegally printed marksheets and degree certificates in violation of the orders issued by the State government, causing financial loss. Legal action will be taken against the officers/employees under the Karnataka State Universities Act, 2000,' said Dr. Sudhakar.

BJP SCs Morcha criticises State govt. for diverting SCP, TSP funds for guarantee schemes
BJP Scheduled Castes Morcha has criticised the State government for diverting funds meant for Special Component Plan and Scheduled Tribe Sub-Plan (SCP/TSP) to the guarantee schemes. State vice-president of BJP SCs Morcha Ambaraya Ashtagi, addressing a press conference in Kalaburagi on Thursday, said that the SCP and TSP plans were introduced for the empowerment of the oppressed sections by allocating exclusive funds in addition to the regular expenditure on various welfare schemes. The SCP-TSP schemes have been designed to empower Scheduled Castes socially, economically and educationally by providing opportunities for skill development, access to quality education and promoting social justice. But diverting these funds for the guarantee schemes has hindered the core objectives of the SCP, TSP schemes, Mr. Ashtagi said. In all, the State government has diverted ₹39,000 crore for the guarantee schemes. It has diverted ₹11,114 crore in 2023-24, ₹14,282 crore in 2024-25 and ₹11,896.84 crore in 2025-26. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah came to power in the name of AHINDA (a coalition of minorities, backward classes and Dalits) by promising to empower these communities. But he has failed to implement any concrete programmes to uplift Dalits and his decisions are depriving the rights of Scheduled Castes, Mr. Ashtagi said.

The probe was handed over to CBI, following an order from the Madras High Court on July 21. The court directed CBI to take over the investigation from the Lawspet police, citing concerns over fairness and impartiality, particularly in light of allegations against two sitting legislators.
