Engineering Minority Quota Admission Fraud Sparks Regulatory Probe in Nagpur Allegations of fraudulent use of forged documents to secure admissions under the minority quota in engineering colleges have prompted a regulatory investigation in Nagpur. The Maharashtra State Minorities Commission has ordered an inquiry into the matter, while the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) has called for strict action against those involved. The Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) has reportedly issued notices to students admitted through the minority quota at several institutions, citing suspicions of fake documentation during the admission process. Students from colleges including GH Raisoni Institute of Engineering and Technology (Wadi), GH Raisoni College of Engineering (Hingna), Priyadarshini College of Engineering (Hingna), Priyadarshini Bhagwati College of Engineering (Nandanvan), and JD College of Engineering (Kalmeshwar Road) are believed to be under scrutiny. The Admission Regulating Authority (ARA) has summoned these students for questioning as part of the probe. The DTE and ARA are required to provide detailed reports to the Maharashtra State Minorities Commission to assess the extent of misuse of the minority quota. Commission chairman Pyare Khan emphasized the gravity of the allegations, stating that they directly impact the rights of genuine minority students. The probe follows concerns that ineligible candidates may have exploited the quota system, undermining the integrity of admissions. The NSUI has demanded stringent measures to address the issue, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability in the recruitment process.#maharashtra_state_minorities_commission #national_students_union_of_india #gh_raisoni_college_of_engineering #directorate_of_technical_education #gh_raisoni_institute_of_engineering_and_technology
Metro to Launch Feeder Bus Service on Hingna Road Soon The Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MahaMetro) and the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) are set to introduce a dedicated feeder bus service that will connect Lokmanya Nagar Metro Station with key educational and medical institutions along Hingna Road. The initiative, which aims to enhance last-mile connectivity for students, patients, and daily commuters, will operate buses from the metro station to Lata Mangeshkar Hospital, with intermediate stops at GH Raisoni College of Engineering and Priyadarshini College of Engineering. The service is expected to begin operations shortly, marking a significant step toward improving urban mobility in Nagpur. Officials emphasized that the demand for this service stems from the needs of students and patients, who have long sought direct access to educational and medical facilities. To facilitate registration for the feeder bus, a two-day camp will be held at the premises of the affiliated colleges on April 7 and 8. During these camps, residents will be able to obtain Maha Card and NMC bus pass registrations, ensuring seamless access to the service. The buses will drop passengers directly onto campus grounds, offering a convenient, safe, and time-efficient alternative to private vehicles and auto-rickshaws for short-distance travel. The collaboration between MahaMetro and NMC underscores a shared commitment to reducing reliance on private transportation and promoting multimodal transit solutions. According to a MahaMetro spokesperson, the integrated initiative is designed to strengthen the existing metro network by addressing gaps in connectivity for key destinations.#nagpur_municipal_corporation #maha_metro #hingna_road #lata_mangeshkar_hospital #gh_raisoni_college_of_engineering
