Dr Sravan Dasoju Demands for immediate appointment of 11 Vice Chancellors to the Telangana Universities
Telangana: Hyderabad: February 04, ( HS) AICC National Spokesperson Dr Sravan Dasoju on Thursday demanded KCR, Chief Minister of Telangana state, to immediately appoint 11 Vice Chancellors (VCs) to the respective Universities in the state. The senior Congress leader slammed KCR for making Universities ‘Headless Corpses’ with an arrogant attitude and deliberate intention to murder the higher education system in Telangana. He compared KCR with Emperor Nero who used to play fiddle while the city of Rome was gutted by fire.
“It is so pathetic and very unfortunate that 11 Universities in Telangana have been functioning without Vice Chancellors for several years. They are running like headless corpses. No person who has head on his neck will ever allow this to happen as every institution must be run by a leader, VC in this case. However, our Hon’ble Chief Minister has been destroying Universities in Telangana by not appointing full time Vice Chancellors and not providing sufficient funds to operate on themselves thereby making them die on their own for the benefit of private Universities” Dr Sravan fired.
The AICC leader humbled and thanked Tamilisai Soundarrajan, Hon’ble Governor for her kind intervention insisting immediate appointment of Vice Chancellors to the Universities in Telangana. He recalled that he has submitted multiple memoranda in this regard and finally the Hon’ble Governor has taken a lead to protect the interests of the student community and to save the Universities in the state.
“CM is irresponsible and scuttling the entire higher education by not appointing VCs for so long and also by not releasing adequate funds. Thousands of teaching and non teaching posts are being kept vacant due to non appointment of Vice Chancellor. On one hand CM is promoting private universities and destroying the Government Universities. Congress demands for the immediate appointment of VCs and protect higher education in Telangana. Also demand for release of funds to Universities and recruit all vacant positions”, Dr Sravan said.
Senior Congress party leader asked CM KCR to stop functioning from the fort like Pragathi Bhavan or Farm house instead give attention towards the Universities, the modern temples of society which can create future leaders and the best citizens of this state and also the country. “Can’t you give at least 1% of your time to address the issues of Universities and students when you are fully concentrating on your own agriculture? It is so sad that due to your arrogant attitude, today the Universities are unable to clean their toilets as there are no funds to do so.”, Dr Sravan criticized.
Dr Sravan further demands KCR for an enhancement of scholarships of the students and open the University Hostels to provide accommodation.
