Students’ future in stake due to erroneous mark sheets

Raipur, December 13, 2010

Scores of students in Pt Ravishankar Shukla University (RSU) are enraged due to varsity’s recklessness that eventually has put their future in stake. These students are shocked because the RSU has provided them erroneous mark sheets. Some of the students who have completed their final year and were planning to move elsewhere in search of jobs are now perplexed and uncertain whether to obtain a handwritten provisional mark from the varsity administration or wait for the arrival of reprinted corrected copy of their result.
The RSU although assures the students that they would soon get their mark sheets, the students say, “Usually, when you apply for any multinational company, it would not accept the provisional mark sheet. We do not know how long we would have to wait for the reprinted copy of our results and the delayed time would only affect out career opportunities.”
Some of the students who had earlier applied for revaluation and received better marks complain that their mark sheets still show same marks that were printed before revaluation.
“Erroneous mark sheets have not been provided for the first time to the students. The varsity is committing the same mistake for years and causing inconvenience to the students. It the RSU administration not playing with our future deliberately?” asked the disgruntled students.
They further said that the varsity should also curtail the payment of the contracting agency that prints the mark sheets. Besides, they said responsibility should be fixed on the relevant varsity staffers who are engaged in preparation of mark sheets every year.

KK Chandrakar - Registrar, Pt RSU
We concede that some mark sheets contain printing error due to which the students are facing inconvenience. But we are taking back all those erroneous mark sheets to reprint and issue the correct ones to the students. Usually, we easily figure out major errors in the mark sheets and promptly send them back to the printing company for reprinting, but when there is minor mistake like spelling of the student’s name then it only surfaces when we receive complain from the particular candidate.




Reprint faulty mark sheets quickly: NSUI

Raipur, December 13, 2010

The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) has demanded from Pt Ravishankar Shukla University (RSU) administration to quickly reprint the faulty mark sheets of the students.
“The varsity provided several mark sheets to the students on Monday but about ten were erroneous,” said the NSUI district vice president Akash Sharma. A delegation of NSUI led by Sharma reached the varsity administration office to meet vice chancellor Professor SK Pandey but in his absence met the head of examination department AK Chourey and apprised him pertaining to the problems of the students owing to the erroneous mark sheets.
Chourey said that the varsity would inquire into the faulty mark sheet issue and revoke the contract done with the Delhi-based printing company that had printed many erroneous mark sheets.
The NSUI delegation was comprised of Bhavesh Shukla, Karan Sharma, Abhay Thakur, Amit Sharma, Dilip Singh, Dinesh Mishra, Ravindra Singh, Vishnu Sharma, Mayank Thakur, Piyush Thakur, Alok Sharma, Prateek Bhattar, Jittu and Dhananjay.



RSU teaching staffers still devoid of promotions, arrears

Teachers’ association meets VC with its 5-point demands

Raipur, December 13, 2010

Complaints and grievances continue to be the bane for Pt Ravishankar Shukla University (RSU) administration as besides students, the teaching staffers too are angry from the system for not fulfilling their genuine demands. The RSU teachers association on Monday met vice chancellor Professor SK Pandey again with its five-point demands and sought prompt reciprocity from his side.
“We have frequently put our demands to the varsity administration like provision of arrears, promotions and filling of vacant posts of teaching faculty, but no initiative has been taken so far,” said Professor Ashok Pradhan, varsity’s senior lecturer School of Studies in Anthropology and association’s general secretary. 
When the association asked when they would get the arrears according to VIth payscale, the vice chancellor replied that the tentative list had been already sent to the state government approval. When the association indicated that the list for arrears need precision, the Finance Controller NS Thakur admitted that final list was yet to be prepared. The association regretted that the varsity administration was deliberately delaying the final list for arrears and trying to mislead the teaching staffers.
The association further demanded promotion of two lecturers to reader and three readers to professors. “The promotion of these teaching faculties was long overdue but the varsity never took interest in our demand,” Pradhan said.
The association also sought permanent status to the 12 teaching staffers who in spite of completing their two years of probation have not been regularised. “These staffers have completed five years of their service, but the vice chancellor says that the regularisation was stalled because the case is pending in the court,” informed Pradhan.
The association said the varsity should quickly fill the 50 vacant posts of the teaching faculties. “Since we do not have sufficient teaching staffers, we are not fulfilling the University Grant Commission (UGC) norms and hence we fail the eligibility criteria to receive funds and aids from the commission,” said Pradhan. The association asked why the varsity was delaying in filling the vacant posts when the PSC too had started to conduct examinations for the vacant seats.
The issue of increment was also raised in the meeting. The association said about 14 lecturers (with PhD) before 2006 had not received four increments according to UGC. When the vice chancellor assured the varsity administration would write a letter to the commission, the association said it had already received an order from it regarding provision of increment. The vice chancellor further said that the matter would soon put before the state government but the association said such dillydallying attitude of the varsity was depriving the deserving ones from their benefits.


Cake did not had tricolour: Cong

Submits memorandum to SP

Raipur, December 13, 2010

The Congress leaders have clarified that the allegation pertaining to ‘tricolour cake cutting episode’ that involved PCC general secretary incharge Subhash Sharma and DCC president Inderchand Dhariwal were false and the FIR lodged Rashtravadi Manch with City Kotwali was baseless. In this regard, the Congress leaders submitted a memorandum to the SP Dipanshu Kabra at his office on Monday.
“We strongly object that the police registered a case of national insult against our party without investigating into the matter. In fact, the ulterior motive of the complainant was to drag Congress into controversy,” they said.
“The cake did not resemble the country’s tricolour but had multiple colours. Even the spherical shape in the middle of the cake did not have any resemblance with the Ashok Chakra,” added Congress leaders.
They alleged that the case was registered on ruling BJP’s pressure and a politically revengeful act. They requested from the SP to cancel the FIR and regretted if anyone got hurt due to negative propaganda done by certain elements against Congress.
The leaders who met the SP were PCC general secretary and spokesperson Ramesh Varlyani, PCC spokesperson and legal advisor Ambar Shukla, PCC vice president Haji Sheikh Najimuddin, president PCC legal cell Faisal Rizvi, DCC president Inderchand Dhariwal, DCC general secretary Dr Niranjan Haritwal and RMC MiC member Pramod Dubey.
