The bond between the Raj Bhavan and the Bihar Education Department reached to a red point on 28th January when the department ordered all vice-chancellors and other senior officials of the universities to not receive their salaries after not a single VC from the 13 state universities turned up to attend the review meeting which was also called by the department day before.
It was a problem to keep an excellent pace, concerning the delayed schedule of instruction. Eventually, exactly two universities proceeded to send their representatives to the meeting. Vaidyanath Yadav, the Education Secretary of Bihar, wrote a letter to almost all of VCs, registrars, and examiners of all universities except Kameshwar Singh Sanskrit University to make it very clear why they were absent at the review meeting that on delayed session. He then issued that their things will be not given to them till a further date.
Additionally, if a student knows that a university is not able to regularly conduct education sessions as required (what is according to the regulations), who should they pay for it, and why should the budget of a university not be reduced. In addition, a provision in the Bihar Conduct of Examination Act, 1981, clearly mentions that the official shall be penalised under the Act in case of non-cooperation with their responsibilities, also 166 and 167 of Indian Penal Code are attractive for the non-holding of examination on time…”, education secretary apprised.
The education minister, himself, wanted to know from the Vice-Chancellors and the other officials behind their refusal to go before the review committee on the 28th of February as they declined to submit their reports and give information to the education department.
