Tewari, a professor in the agricultural & food engineering department at IIT Kharagpur, has been a controversial figure starting from his appointment as director in 2019.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
There’s not much I know about the issue but having spent three years in the institute as a student I can say with experience that the administration is a bullock cart with Prof VK Tewari’s corrupt ass as the head. From student bodies to Professor bodies he has affected the usual flow of activities in the campus for his propaganda and pocket filling. Contracts Tenders to security, land allotments everything has been inclined to serve him and not the institute. The irony being he does everything and then defends himself under the garb of him being proud on the first IIT of the world and having done nothing to propagate its glory he only sticks to an age old fact. The truth being that the research focus and academic orientation of the institute is in a complete state of decline.
I agree with the allegation of nepotism, one of the such appointment he made is in Agriculture Department of such a person who actually do not fullfill the minimum criteria. He has only two to three pappers not only that but he do not belong to the that department. He had studied Chemical engineering. I believe he has selected becouse he also belong to the dame community as Director Tiwari belong to.
As long as the UPA era appointments of individuals with explicit and open political connections with the Left-Congress eco-system continued, they did not come out and protest. Many of the current office bearers of IITTA were beneficiaries of such political favouritism.
Now that the tables have turned and Prof. Tewari has been appointing individuals with right-wing political connections, the IITTA is up in arms. The hypocrisy is not lost on anyone.
As far as the students anger is concerned, it is totally justified. After having spent months and years preparing for the JEE and after having successfully won the rat race, they deserve to party hard. Nobody should stop them from enjoying their lives.
