Ramjas College

New Delhi:
Accusing acting Principal P C Tulsian of misusing students' fund, Ramjas College's staff association said it would start an indefinite sit-in near the admin block from Thursday to press his removal.

In its General Body Meeting today, the association also accused Tulsian of recruiting staff on contract without any specific work being assigned to them, according to PTI.

"While all non-teaching staff mark biometric attendance, two staffers attached to the principal mark theirs manually.

They are not employed by the college, but are paid salaries of Rs 15,800 and Rs 11,000 (respectively) per month from the students' fund," association president Surender Singh said, quoting a report of a committee appointed to look into the matter.

The fund is composed of money collected from students every year for college magazines, sports and other activities.

Singh said the college had "turned into a breeding ground of corruption".

"The principal has continued the employment of a large number of staff on a contract basis engaged with his office with no work, thereby wasting the students' fund," Singh said.

Ramjas College was in news in February last year after students of Left-affiliated All India Students Association (AISA) and the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), linked to the BJP, armed with hockey sticks rained blows on each other, injuring many.
