Imphal, June 25:
Asserting that all established rules have been flouted and many irregularities committed by the authorities of the Central Agricultural University, Imphal during appointment in 2 posts of Professors and 3 posts of Associate Professors, the DESAM has demanded a white paper about the appointment procedures followed and to inform the public about it.
A statement issued by DESAM also urged upon the Vice-Chancellor and the Registrar of the CAU to cancel the appointments made in total contravention of the rules and regulations prescribed by the UGC and the ICAR.
In case the CAU authorities refuse to cancel the appointments and to produce a white paper, DESAM will initiate strong actions against the VC and the Registrar, warned the student body.
Even as the Agricultural University is very much crucial for the economic development of the State which is predominantly agrarian, DESAM lamented that the high hopes of people expressed during its establishment have been reduced to nought because of its irregular functioning and lack of progress.
There has been no development in the infrastructure of the CAU after its establishment and the University is unable to open new faculties, noted desam.
While the VC is away from the University most of the time, the CAU authorities have been indulging in various irregularities and illegal practices, added the statement.
