Principals of five colleges under Patna university picked by drawing lots
PATNA: Five colleges of Patna University (PU) on Wednesday got new principals, not on their merit or suitability but through a lucky draw. Nagendra Prasad Verma, a history teacher at Chapra's Jai Prakash University, was selected as principal of Magadh Mahila College in Patna through a lottery. The draw of lots extended to Patna College and Patna Science College, two of Bihar's oldest and most prestigious institutes, which will be now headed, respectively, by Anil Kumar, a chemistry teacher from a UP college, and Alaka Yadav of Hajipur's Mahila College. Suheli Mehta, a home science teacher at Magadh Mahila College, was 'picked' to head Vanijya Mahavidyalay while Yogendra Kr Varma of Patna Law College became the institution's principal. All the five incumbents were earlier selected as principals on the recommendations of Bihar State University Service Commission (BSUSC), based on their interviews and academic qualifications. It's after a gap of 15 years that the PU colleges will get principals recommended by the university service commission. Sr academics raise questions on appointments through lottery Usually, the appointment of a college principal is done by vice-chancellor of the university concerned. However, following allegations of foul play in appointment of principals in some universities, governor-cum-chancellor Arif Mohammed Khan ordered that the posting of BSUSC-recommended candidates would be done through a lottery system under the supervision of a three-member committee, headed by the VC of the university concerned. In the case of five PU colleges, the names were picked through a draw supervised by a committee consisting of VC Ajay Kumar Singh, registrar Shalini and the chancellor's representative, Rahmat Jahan. Some senior academics, however, raised questions over the appointments through lottery. How could a home science teacher manage an institution of commerce, or a chemistry teacher administer an institution specialising in humanities & social sciences, they asked.

PU colleges get five new principals through lucky draw
Patna: In an unprecedented move, five constituent colleges of Patna University (PU) on Wednesday got their new principals not on the basis of their merit or qualifications but through a lucky draw. The new incumbents posted in different colleges of PU through a lottery draw include Nagendra Prasad Verma, a history teacher of Jai Prakash University, Chapra at Magadh Mahila College; Anil Kumar, a chemistry teacher from a UP college at Patna College; Alaka Yadav of Mahila College, Hajipur at Patna Science College and Magadh Mahila College home science teacher Suheli Mehta at Vanijya Mahavidyalay. The fifth candidate, Yogendra Kumar Varma of Patna Law College was posted as principal of the same college. All the five incumbents were earlier selected as principals on the recommendation of the Bihar State University Service Commission (BSUSC) following consideration of their academic qualifications and interview. Ordinarily, the posting of a principal in a college is done by the vice-chancellor of the university concerned. However, on the complaints of alleged foul play in posting of principals in some universities, governor-cum-chancellor Arif Mohammed Khan, ordered that the posing of BSUSC-recommended candidates would be done through a lottery system under the supervision of a three-member committee, headed by the vice-chancellor of the university concerned and consisting of the chancellor's representative. A selected candidate had even challenged this order in the Patna high court, but withdrew the petition later. In case of posting of principals in PU colleges, it was finalised by a three-member committee consisting of PU vice-chancellor Ajay Kumar Singh , registrar Shalini and chancellor's representative Rahmat Jahan. The notification of these postings would be issued in a day or two, said PU sources. Some senior academics, however, maintained that the posting of principals in single faculty colleges should not have been done arbitrarily through lottery. Otherwise, a teacher of home science would certainly face difficulties in managing an institution of commerce and how would a chemistry teacher administer an institution specialising in humanities and social sciences, they asked. Notably, PU colleges will get principals recommended by the university service commission after a gap of about 15 years.
