The vice president of Uttarakhand Congress Surya Kant Dhasmana has alleged that the State government is planning to close prominent aided educational institutes such as DAV PG College, DBS College and MKP College. Interacting with the media persons at the headquarters of the State Congress here on Monday, Dhasmana said that the government is deliberately creating a situation where these institutes are left with no option but to close down. He said that the BJP government has banned recruitment in these institutes from the year 2019 due to which a large number of posts in these colleges are vacant.
Dhasmana said that in DAV- PG college 56 out of 186 posts are vacant while 49 posts out of 63 posts are vacant in the MKP College.
He said that in absence of faculty many departments in these prestigious colleges are on the verge of closure. Dhasmana said that many prominent personalities such as Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna, former Prime Minister of Nepal Lokendra Bahadur Chand, first CM of Uttarakhand Nityanand Swami and others have studied in DAV college.
Dhasmana alleged that the State government is deliberately weakening these colleges to help the private colleges and universities. Giving an example, the Congress leader said that the fee in DAV college for LLB course is less Rs 15,000 while one has to spend a sum of Rs four to six lakhs to get this degree in a private university.
