Barkatullah students protest VC's prolonged ‘absence' from campus
Bhopal: Barkatullah University (BU) faces fresh controversy as organised an unusual demonstration by affixing "missing person" posters of vice-chancellor SK Jain throughout the campus. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to NSUI, vice-chancellor Jain was absent since the first week of May. Ashish Sharma, NSUI's university in-charge, said that while main examinations continued and admissions commenced statewide, BU's portal allegedly remained non-functional due to the vice-chancellor's 'unavailability'. Besides, exam paper evaluation remained pending, and administrative tasks, including payments, ceased, he alleged. NSUI announced a Rs 1,100 'reward' for locating vice-chancellor Jain. He further said the failure of the VC to resume duties within three days would result in filing a missing person's report at a police station. NSUI alleged that crucial tasks, including private college inspections and affiliations, were delayed, as the acting vice-chancellor 'lacked decision-making authority'. The demonstration brought attention to concerns regarding the university administration's functionality. VC Jain did not respond to calls or texts sent to him on the issue.
