The construction of new building is yet to start; the management has shown to the VT members the proposed land where the new building is proposed to be constructed; only fencing is put around the boundary of the land where work is yet to start. This is gross negligence on the part of the management that even after a lapse of 3 years (and after more than of 6 years and 9 months) that shifting has not been effected.

The Committee in its 211th meeting held on 23 considered the written reply of the institution dt. 02.08.2011 on the above matter and also the relevant documents of the institution and decided to withdraw recognition for the following reasons:-

The management is sharing the building used for running D.Ed & B.Ed programmes along with other courses namely. Pharmacy, Law, M.B.A & Nursing courses which is not permissible as per NCTE norms. No exclusive earmarked campus are available for the courses being run.

As per NCTE norms, earmarked land area and built up area is required. B.Ed and D.Ed courses are not in exclusive building, meant for the Teacher Education Programme only.

So, there was certain amount of ambiguity with regard to existence of exclusive building with all the requisite facilities.

The Council after taking into consideration the submission made by the appellant and reply of the institution to the Show Cause Notice as well as VT observations, came to the conclusion that there was adequate justification in remanding the case to SRC for causing re-inspection of the institution for ascertaining availability of exclusive infrastructure for B.Ed. and D.Ed. courses, after obtaining a payment of Rs.40,000/- from the institution and for taking further decision thereafter.

After perusal of documents, memorandum of appeal, affidavit, VT report and after considering oral arguments advanced during the hearing, the Council concluded that there was adequate justification in remanding the case to SRC to cause re-inspection of the institution to ascertain the availability of exclusive infrastructure for B.Ed. and D.Ed. course, after obtaining a payment of Rs.40,000/- from the institution and for taking further decision thereafter.

After submission of essential documents, inspection was conducted on 31.07.2008. The VT report and all other related documents were placed before 162nd meeting of SRC held on 20-21 August, 2008 and it was decided to issue Letter of Intent/Conditional recognition. The letter of intent was sent to the institution on 18.09.2008.

Even after the lapse of stipulated time, the institution has not submitted any reply and the matter was placed before 171st meeting of SRC held during 16-17 March 2009 and a Notice was served to the institution on 24.3.2009 to submit the documents before 10th April, 2009. The institution submitted reply on 28.4.2009.

The matter was placed before 174th meeting of SRC held during 1.5. 2009 wherein it was decided to send Notice. Again, a letter was sent on 9.6.2009 to submit the documents within 19.6.2009 and a reminder letter was sent on 2.7.2009 to submit the documents within 10th July, 2009. A letter was submitted on 22.7.2009 stating that the Vice-Chancellor of Karnatak University, Dharwad is making appointment of teaching staff as per norms.

The matter was placed before 179th meeting of SRC held on 23rd July, 2009 and it was decided to serve Notice and Notice was served on 24.7.2009. Since the institution did not submit any reply, the matter was once again placed before 180th meeting held on 29th July, 2009 wherein it was decided to permit the institution to submit the repy by 17.8.2009 and a final reminder was sent on 31.7.2009.

The institution submitted its representation on 30th July, 2009 and 11.8.2009. The reply was considered by SRC in its 181st meeting held during 20-21 August, 2009 and it was decided to serve Notice to submit reply by 28th August, 2009 and notice was issued to the institution on 24.8.2009.

The institution did not submit any reply even after expiry of stipulated period and hence the matter was placed before SRC in its 182nd meeting held on 31st August, 2009 which came to the conclusion to refuse the recognition/withdraw the Letter of Intent OR Conditional Recognition accorded to the institution for the proposed course as per Section 14(3)(b) of NCTE Act for the following reasons:-

The institution has not appointed requisite faculty/staff and also not submitted the staff list and affidavits as per regulations 7(9) of NCTE.

Accordingly, refusal order was issued to the institution vide Order No. F.SRO/NCTE/2008-2009/15844 dated 24.09.2009.

Aggrieved by the refusal order the institution preferred an appeal before the appellate authority on 13.09.2011.

The Appellate authority on 8-12-2011 noted that a) Karnataka University submitted an application to the SRC for grant of recognition of Kittur Rani Channamma P.G. Centre, Belgaum, Karnataka for M.Ed. course. SRC vide letter dated 18-09-2008 issued a letter of intent prior to grant of recognition under Clause 7(9) of NCTE Regulations. Thereafter it issued a notice, for which the administrator of Karnataka University submitted a reply on 28-07-2009 stating that the University is in the process of appointing qualified staff to teach M.Ed. students. Meanwhile, some qualified and permanent teaching staff has been transferred from Dharwad to Belgaum. Despite this reply, SRC decided to refuse recognition on the grounds as stated in Para 1 above. (b) The Council further noted Kittur Rani Channamma P.G. Centre, Belgaum was upgraded to the status of an independent University under the name Rani Channamma University, Belgaum from 2010 onwards. The Rani Channamma University, being the successor institute of the earlier P.G. Centre, pursued the matter of M.Ed. recognition and filed an appeal. The delay caused in filing the appeal was due to upgradation of PG centre into university, which was a valid reason for condoning the delay caused in preferring the appeal. (c) The university had taken steps to appoint full complement of the faculty for teaching M.Ed. students.

The Appellate authority therefore came to the conclusion that there was adequate justification in accepting the appeal with a direction to the SRC for considering the faculty profile of the institution and for taking further decision thereafter. The institution is advised to forward a complete set of faculty profile as required under NCTE Norms, for consideration of SRC.

After perusal of documents, memorandum of appeal, affidavit, VT report and after considering oral arguments advanced during the hearing, the Council reached the conclusion that there was adequate ground to accept the appeal and reverse the SRCs order dated 24-09-2009 vide appellate authority order No.89-361/2011 Appeal/8th Meeting/2011/A46189 dated 04/01/2012 with a direction to the SRC for considering the faculty profile of the institution and for taking further decision thereafter. The institution is advised to forward a complete set of faculty profile as required under NCTE Norms, for consideration of SRC.

The institution has not submitted Faculty profile to this office so far(as advised in the appeal order). The appeal committee advised the University to forward reply to the show cause notice of SRC for consideration vide its order dt. 04.01.2012.

The SRC in its 217th meeting held on 8-9 February, 2012 considered the Appellate authority order dt. 04.01.2012 and decided to await for the reply from the institution till 45 days and then process the reply of the institution to the show cause notice for further action.

But, so far, faculty profile is not received and no reply in this regard is received from the institution.

Hence, as per the decision of 217th meeting of SRC and since 45 days is over and faculty profile is not received from the institution, the matter is once again placed before SRC for its consideration and decision.

The institution, after the lapse of three years stipulated period, now gives a representation that it has purchased the land only now, and the plan for actual construction is yet to commence. As per the approved norms and regulations, the institution should have possessed the land at the time of original application itself; purchase of land only now, after a lapse of three years is a serious violation of norms, involving suppression of facts.

The institutions request for extension of time by another three years which only means that it is not serious in its efforts to move to a permanent premise, extension of time in this regard cannot be granted as per the regulations of NCTE.

The institution was given notice under Section 17 on a complaint made by the State Government regarding infrastructural deficiencies and violation of norms and standards, for which the institution did not care to respond.
