NIT Hamirpur Director terminated from service with immediate effect
The director of NIT Hamirpur has been terminated from service with immediate effect.
The National Institute of Technology (NIT) Hamirpur director has been terminated from service with immediate effect after several complaints were received against him. Professor Vinod Yadava had assumed the charge of the office on March 23, 2018, for five years. However, following several complaints against him, a committee was constituted on July 13 to inquire into the state of affairs at the NIT.
The report of the committee, headed by the chairman of the National Council for Teacher Education, found that there is certainly a prima-facie case against Yadava under the provisions of the National Institutes of Technology, Science Education and Research Act, 2007.
The termination of Yadav with immediate effect has been approved by President Ram Nath Kovind, who is also the visitor of the institute.
The Ministry of Education has announced that Professor Lalit Awasthi, Director, Dr B R Ambedkar National Institute of Technology (NIT) Jalandhar, will continue to hold the additional charge of the post of the Director, NIT with immediate effect.
Yadava will be provided with a sum equivalent to the amount of his basic pay for three months.
The latest order of the Ministry of Higher Education has been hailed by teaching and non-teaching members of the institution. On other hand, there are indications that the axe may also fall on all those who were appointed in this institution after Yadava’s recommendations.
NIT Hamirpur offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD level programmes. For admission to BTech programmes, students are supposed to qualify the JEE Main entrance examination with 75 per cent aggregate in their 12th board exams.
