MLA Datke Seeks NEP-Focused VC, Pro-VC Postings Nagpur: BJP MLA Pravin Datke emphasized the need for Vice-Chancellors and Pro Vice-Chancellors in Maharashtra to prioritize the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 during a state assembly debate on education policy. Speaking on Thursday, Datke argued that appointments should not solely depend on academic credentials but also on candidates’ understanding of the NEP and their ability to promote multidisciplinary training. His remarks were part of a discussion on reforms for primary, secondary, and higher education. Datke highlighted a report prepared by the ABVP (Akhil Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan) following surveys and consultations on NEP implementation. The report, he stated, had been submitted to the governor and the higher and technical education minister. He urged the government to adopt measures to strengthen NEP execution, including a uniform academic calendar across all universities in Maharashtra. Additionally, he called for clear guidelines on implementing the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC), credit transfer systems, credit equivalence, and the National Credit Framework (NCrF). The MLA also demanded a state-wide policy to standardize faculty workload, address vacancies in teaching and non-teaching positions, and align credit systems across regulatory bodies such as the UGC, AICTE, and universities. He advocated for greater industry involvement in curriculum design to ensure practical relevance. Datke raised concerns about access to competitive exams, noting that Nagpur hosts one of Maharashtra’s six examination centers. He proposed establishing an additional center in Vidarbha to benefit students from rural areas.#nagpur #nagpur_university #abvp #mla_pravin_datke #nep_2020
Chakai Munger University Students Protest Exam Results Irregularity Students at Chakai Munger University’s affiliated Chakai P.P.V.I. College staged a protest on Monday, demanding accountability over irregularities in semester-1 and semester-2 exam results. The demonstration, led by the ABVP (Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad) district coordinator Deepak Chaudhary, highlighted concerns that hundreds of students were wrongly marked as absent in their results, causing academic disruptions. According to the students, the 2023-27 academic session’s results for semester-1 and semester-2 contained errors where students were listed as absent despite attending classes. This has created a backlog, preventing them from enrolling in semester-5 courses. The protest followed months of unresolved issues, with students alleging that both college and university authorities have failed to address their grievances. Deepak Chaudhary accused the university administration of bureaucratic delays, stating that colleges submit required documents but the university often rejects them without proper justification. He criticized the lack of accountability, warning that the negligence of officials is jeopardizing students’ futures. During the protest, students handed over a memorandum to the university registrar, Dr. Ghanshyam Rai. In response, Rai acknowledged the systemic flaws, admitting that many faculty members failed to upload internal exam results on time after the implementation of the new semester system in 2023-27 and 2024-28. He revealed that five district-level extension counters have been established to address student complaints. Rai also announced stricter measures to prevent future errors, including a penalty of ₹10,000 for colleges that fail to submit internal exam results promptly.#chakai_munger_university #chakai_ppvi_college #abvp #deepak_chaudhary #dr_ghanshyam_rai
