Shillong: Meghalaya
Governor R.S. Mooshahary has directed the state government to
probe the private Mahatma Gandhi University after complaints were
received about its functioning.
His directive to the Congress-led Meghalaya United Alliance
government assumes significance after another private varsity -
the CMJ University - was allegedly selling fake PhD degrees.
"Though I am not the visitor of Mahatma Gandhi University, but I
have received complaints regarding the functioning of this
university. I have asked the government to look into these
complaints," Mooshahary said in a chat with IANS.
However, the governor did not divulge on the complaints that he
had received against the Mahatma Gandhi University.
The Mahatma Gandhi University was established through an act of
the Meghalaya legislature in 2011.
Stating that the intention of the government to facilitate the
setting up of private universities was done in good faith keeping
in mind the welfare of the students, Mooshahary said there was a
need to monitor the functioning of such universities.
"There should be autonomy is the academic pursuance of the
university, but the administration should be monitored closely,"
he said.
"We need quality universities, not quantity. We should not go by
numbers," the governor said.
Incidentally, the Delhi High Court on March this year had issued
notice to a fashion institute, the Fashionista, which has
technical collaboration with the Mahatma Gandhi University on a
plea by a student alleging that it was running illegally and
playing with the careers of innocent students.
The petition, filled by Mohammad Sajid, a student at the
institute, alleged that the institute claimed that it has
technical collaboration with the Meghalaya varsity, and is running
various degree and diploma courses without approval or affiliation
either from the University Grant Commission (UGC) or the Distance
Education Council (DEC) or the Delhi government.
