HRD not satisfied with DU VC reply
10 April 2015 5:12 AM IST
The HRD Ministry is believed to be dissatisfied with Delhi University (DU) Vice-Chancellor Dinesh Singh’s reply to a showcause notice on the roll-out of the controversial FYUP programme.
While the VC has strongly defended his position on the Four year Undergraduate Programme, sources said the ministry has flagged the issue of the validity of such courses, saying no "notification" was issued neither any "preparations" made for its implementation.
The FYUP was scrapped in June last year after the NDA government came to office and following pressure from UGC that it be done away.
Indicating that the VC could be held guilty on this count, the sources also dismissed his contention that the four year B.Tech programme does not require AICTE approval as it was being offered by the university itself.
The ministry in particular is "peeved" over the fact that the varsity has repeatedly ignored its directive to seek AICTE affiliation and undermined the protest of the students who are seeking the
same, they said.
