Press Release
UGC lists 21 fake univs, one in
Maharashtra
University Grants Commission (UGC) on
Wednesday released a list of 21 fake universities, eight of them in Uttar
Pradesh.
Most of
these fake universities have been in the list for years but UGC and the HRD
ministry have not been able to shut them down. UGC says it has no power to
close any university. “Our job is to inform children and parents in the
admission session,“ one official said.
The
Commission said these universities flout section 22(1) of the UGC Act under
which a university should be established by a central, state act or have deemed
status under section 3 of the Act. Section 23 of the UGC Act prohibits use of
word `university' by any institution other than those set up under provisions
of section 22.
In the fake
list, seven are in Delhi with such names as Varanaseya Sanskrit
Vishwavidyalaya, Commercial University Ltd, United Nations University ,
Vocational University , ADR-Centric Juridical University, Indian Institution of
Science & Engineering.
In UP, names
of universities are equally imaginative, ranging from Gandhi Hindi Vidyapith
(Allahabad), National University of Electro Complex Homeopathy (Kanpur), Netaji
Subhash Chandra Bose (Open University), Aligarh and others. In case of one fake
university -Bhartiya Shiksha Parishad (Lucknow) -the matter is subjudice.
Bihar,
Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, MP and West Bengal have one fake uni
versity each. While Bihar has Maithili University (Darbhanga), Maharashtra has
Raja Arabic University (Nagpur) and MP has one called Keserwani Vidyapith,
Jabalpur.
