Jalgaon: It takes rounds of trips to the education department and blessings from the politicians before a college management gets permission for an additional division. In Jalgaon however the Deputy Education officer sanctioned the permission for an additional division at a local Junior college in one single move.

The order though verbally came after the parents in a large number gheraoed the Anglo Urdu High School & Noor Mohd. Chacha Junior College in Jalgaon, the emerging industrial city in North Maharashtra and demanded from the management to give admission to their children who had cleared the SSC exams when the results were announced June this year.

“Trouble began when few local newspapers carried the reports that due to non-availability of enough seats in the existing junior colleges, about fifty percent of the students may not get the admission”, Abdul Gaffar Malik, Chairman Anglo Urdu High School & Noor Mohd Chacha Junior College informed ummid.com.

Having three divisions, two for Science and one for Arts, Anglo Urdu High School & Noor Mohd Chacha Junior College has strength of about 350 students and the College management had given the admissions for all the available seats. Yet more than hundred students were still in the waiting list.

“Worried parents hence turned to the college management. When we informed them that the college has already given the admission to its capacity and any further admission would only be possible if the administration gives the permission for additional division they turned violent”, said Gaffar Malik.

The parents were so furious that the management had to call the police who later requested the Dy. Education Officer Prakash Jadhav to come and pacify the mob. In a swift move Prakash Jadhav gave the orders for immediately starting an additional division.

"No student will be left without admission", he said and ordered his subordinates to take immediate steps.

Interestingly even after getting the permission for an additional division, the college management had to accommodate more than hundred students in one classroom.
