An odd controversy has emerged these days at one of the most prestigious Indian educational institute, I.e., the University of Delhi. The matter is concerned with 28 colleges of the University of Delhi. These 28 colleges are the colleges funded by the Delhi government. So the governing body of these colleges comprises members nominated from the Delhi government. These 28 colleges alumni have been well-known intellectuals, celebrities, and several sports and arts persons.
But the list submitted by the Delhi government of nominated members for governing bodies includes people like property dealers, saloon runners, and electricians. Apart from all these names, there are names of a few professors who teach as guest teachers at the University. Kejriwal government named them as social workers. Lately, in a similar way, Kejriwal gave the place to a body of journalists who works for him.
The government was however enforcing pressure on Yogesh Tyagi, the Vice-chancellor of the University of Delhi. The VC in its response bestowed an objection and sent the list back to the Kejriwal government. Even after the objection, the Kejriwal government sent back the list with the same names. Due to this, these colleges have not yet formed their governing bodies.
