Pvt colleges in a bind over fire NOC demand from Inter board for affiliation
1 2 3 Hyderabad: Despite the new academic year beginning, a majority of private Intermediate colleges have still did not received affiliation from the Telangana Board of Intermediate Education (TGBIE) due to their failure to produce the mandatory no-objection certificate (NOC) from the fire department. While there are about 1,200 private unaided junior colleges in the state, only 247 have been granted affiliation till now. Last year, 1165 such colleges were granted affiliation. "Until last year, only those colleges located in buildings above 15 metres were asked to produce a fire NOC. This year, however, they are asking buildings above six metres to produce it. To get an NOC, we need to comply with certain norms such as external staircases and open spaces around buildings to accommodate fire vehicles. How can we get it now?" asked a member of the Telangana State Private Junior Colleges Management Association (TPJMA) who has been running a college for the last 12 years. They said Intermediate board officials were asking for an NOC under the Telangana Fire Service Act, 1999, without taking GO 29 released in 2016 into account, which mandates a fire NOC only for buildings above 15 metres. Alternatively, managements said they were asked to produce a document proving GO 29 is in force. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Don't waste time.

Citizen Cafe Book Now Undo Questioning the logic behind such demands when more than 75% admissions have been done in a majority of Intermediate colleges in Telangana, they said that the board was playing with the lives students, staff and managements. "We got to know about this requirement only when our applications was rejected. How fair is this? Many students joined assuming we have the required affiliation as we have been running for years now. Will the govt be able to accommodate all our students if we don't get affiliation at a later stage?" asked another correspondent. Board officials, meanwhile, said they were going to wait till the end of June for colleges to submit the required documents. "Not just private colleges, but we are ensuring that even govt colleges have fire safety measures in place. We have been clearing about 60 to 70 applications daily. We will give colleges time till the month-end to comply with requirements to get affiliation," TGBIE secretary Krishna Aditya told TOI, adding that of the 3,200 junior colleges, including govt and those under various societies, about 1,500 have been granted affiliation till date.

Telugu not being given step-motherly treatment: TGBIE
Hyderabad: The Telangana Board of Intermediate Education (TGBIE) on Friday clarified that Telugu will not be treated as a step-motherly language, firmly denying the baseless rumours that Sanskrit is being introduced as a replacement for Telugu. Professors from the Central University submitted a representation to the Director of Intermediate Education, Krishna Aditya, and the Regional Joint Director, Jayaprada Bai, urging that the Telugu language be given its due importance as the second language at the intermediate level in government junior colleges. Regional Joint Director of Intermediate Education Jayaprada Bai clarified that as part of a recent recruitment conducted by the Telangana Public Service Commission, 10 posts for Sanskrit were filled. To identify which colleges have vacancies and to assess how many students are opting for the subject, the Director of Intermediate Education issued a memo to gather internal information from the principals. This memo was purely administrative in nature and should not be construed as an effort to promote Sanskrit in place of Telugu in Government Junior Colleges.
