A very sensational and big news is coming out from the higher education world and administrative department of Bihar at this time. A huge controversy has arisen for some time regarding the ongoing appointments in Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, located in Bhagalpur. After a very serious and written complaint made by the local MP, the Raj Bhavan of Bihar has come into full action. Considering the sensitivity of the matter, the Chancellor-cum-Governor Secretariat has taken a strong stand at both the level of the university management and the complainant. Raj Bhavan has sought concrete evidence and documents to uncover the layers of this entire alleged recruitment scam, after which there has been a stir among the university officials and selection committee members.

University administration shaken by MP’s sharp allegations, fear of backdoor entry

The whole matter is related to the recent recruitments done on various academic and non-academic posts in Sabour Agricultural University. The local MP, in his complaint letter submitted to the Governor, has alleged that the rules and qualifications were completely ignored in these appointments. Backdoor entry has been done to benefit the favored and influential people and there is also a possibility of financial misappropriation on a large scale. The MP claims that qualified and talented candidates were deliberately excluded from the selection process, which has caused a deep blow to the credibility of the university. After this direct attack, there is panic in the administrative corridors of the university.

Raj Bhavan opened a tough front, ultimatum to present evidence within three days

Taking this high-profile complaint of the MP very seriously, Raj Bhavan has taken immediate action. In the official letter issued by the Principal Secretary to the Governor, the complaining MP has been asked to immediately provide all the necessary documents, audio-video recordings or any other concrete evidence in support of these serious allegations. Along with this, Raj Bhavan has also summoned the detailed timeline of the entire recruitment process, copies of advertisements and minutes of the selection committee meeting from the Vice Chancellor (VC) of the university. Raj Bhavan’s clear stand is that if even the slightest truth is found in the allegations, strict legal action will be taken against the guilty officials along with cancellation of the entire selection process.

Memories of old scams become fresh, heat of investigation likely to reach big faces

This is not the first case of appointment dispute in Sabour Agricultural University. Even before this, this prestigious institute has been under the shadow of controversies and court actions for a long time due to alleged irregularities in the recruitment processes. Now once again this swift and strong activism by Raj Bhavan has let the old genie out of the bottle. Experts in the education world believe that if this matter is investigated in depth, the heat of the investigation can reach politicians, influential middlemen and many senior officials of the university. At present, after this big action of Raj Bhavan, clouds of doubt have started looming over other upcoming examinations and interviews going on in the university.
