In email to students, Pratap Bhanu Mehta cites ‘prevailing circumstances’ being behind his decision to quit. Ashoka University calls The Edict article 'purely speculative' and 'factually inaccurate'.
In his letter, Arvind Subramanian says Pratap Bhanu Mehta's resignation devastated him, and notes that Ashoka University can no longer provide space for academic expression & freedom.
The report shows only 52.24% of applications were paid scholarships during 2015-19, while 37% were not paid, even though sanctioned amounts were drawn from the treasury.
The House panel recommended that adequate awareness be created so SC students avail benefits of the scheme and the target of 4 crore beneficiaries can be realised in 5 years.
When he stepped down as vice-chancellor of Ashoka University in 2019, Pratap Bhanu Mehta had cited 'academic reasons'. Reasons for his resignation this time are not known.
To begin with, AICTE allows 5 engineering disciplines such as mechanical, civil, electrical to be taught in regional languages. Study material for these disciplines being translated.
AICTE has given list of 14 subjects, apart from Physics, Chemistry & Maths, which students can opt for. These include computer science, electronics, IT, biology, entrepreneurship.
Vaccines have eliminated two diseases—smallpox in humans and rinderpest in cattle. If they were killing one in 50,000 people, we wouldn’t be rolling them out across the globe for decades.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
It is the same playbook everywhere. Create a ruckus, publish anti-gov (read anti-BJP) articles, get more funding from white people and promise of foreign univ positions, protest (award wapasi), resign, get your foreign friends to sign protest letters….repeat.
They never speak a word about the corruption that was so blatant in the congress regime purely because the congress paid off these journos and invited them to tea parties. Now that the gov refuses to do this, they are bad (and their white friends confirm this). Never speak a word about the brimming corruption in a state like Maharashtra but carry on nit-picking everywhere else. When the coin lands tails, all the intellectuals look the other way.
I know a number of liberals not only in India but abroad as well.In the name of liberal,many movements mostly anti govt ones have started and ended in the street .You may have debates and allowing two sides
to present their views .But constantly harping anti Govt writings tarnish the image of the education.
In this respect Hinduism unlike other religions have allowed debates and many reformers have a place in the history and we have a varied number of paths enriching Hinduism.
My question is how many leaders have Ashoka Univ
produced?
What attempts has the Univ made to do research on the failures of Nehru dynasty?
It is unfortunate Students have been brainwashed that liberals mean you can voice anti govt views without any responsibility.
This applies also to ignore totally Hinduism in the name of secular India and paved the way for conversion which was the hidden agenda of Nehru Dynasty.
Now Indian masses are aware how print media and Bollywood have systematically shown Hinduism in a negative using funds from India’s enemies
Bhanu Pratap a wise man has realised a bit late but do not want to face mass reaction against him as is the case with Khans and thought fit to resign
Get real. Ashoka university is a private university whose primary goal is the welfare of its students, teachers, employees and it’s future as a centre of higher learning capable of attracting even more students and faculty by expanding it’s facilities. It’s faculty are free to express their opinions just as the management is free to sack them if they become inconvenient. Conscience keepers and activists should continue to pursue what they deem fit but must not expect others to carry the can for them. Live independently and express your opinions freely or create a support system by attracting followers. Anyway the choice to move abroad and continue carping against the government always exists.
P b MEHTA is an intellectual of yesterday. He has to become a student again to clear his muddled brain and restore his blurred ideas based on fake propaganda and narratives.
It’s time a whole generation who believed in the lies of history and propaganda they generated for a few dollars more and some positions in foreign university is no longer trusted or is able to convince the present generation who have access to data which clearly show truth is far away as stated by this unholy nexus of undereducated jhollawallas and rent a journalist wanted us to believe.
