Order Issued By UP Board of Technical Education Secretary Rakesh Verma
College in your name, children in your name, fees in your name, and now expenses are also in your name… This is not a dialogue from Manoj Muntashir’s new film. This is the message of the government officials of Uttar Pradesh, which has been adopted by the Technical Education Board very well. This time the board had taken the examination of children studying in private institutions in government institutions. But the Directorate proved to be unsuccessful in making arrangements there on its own due to a shortage of finances. This is the reason why orders have been issued in the name of private institutions while lamenting the plight of government institutions. In which the secretary of the directorate has ordered private institutions to provide everything from furniture to stationery at government examination centres. Otherwise, it will be considered disobedience.
The full story is here…
D-Pharma education is provided in about one thousand institutions in Uttar Pradesh. Of these, the ownership of 995 colleges is in private hands. There were allegations against the private institutions that they allow unfair means such as cheating to take place during annual or semester exams. On the basis of such complaints, it was decided to conduct even semester/annual examinations this time in the campuses of government colleges and institutes instead of private institutions.

Examination fee charged by UP Technical Education Board but no arrangements made
About 50 to 70 thousand students are studying D-Pharma in all the institutes of the state. According to the management of a private institute, the Board of Technical Education takes Rs 570 from every student in the name of examination fees. When the examination was held in private institutions, the examination fee per student was given to the private institutions. In such a situation, when the government is setting up examination centers in its own institutions, then it becomes its responsibility to make the necessary arrangements at those centers itself.
Bureaucracy takes decisions here
You will be surprised to know that the Technical Education Board has taken the decision to conduct examinations in government institutions. But now a serious question is being raised on the functioning of the state government because of the same order. Board Secretary Rakesh Verma has issued an order on July 04, instructing the directors and principals of private institutions that they will have to provide facilities at government examination centers.
What all to be brought to government centers
Rakesh Verma, secretary of the Technical Education Board, has said in his order that private institutions will not only provide laser printers, photocopiers but also furniture at government centers as per the requirement. Along with this, instructions were also given that disobedience in this matter may also lead the institution into trouble. Earlier, the Principal of the Polytechnic College in Mankheda, Agra, had also written a letter to the private institutions, ordering them to provide stationery, printer, and furniture along with cloth and diesel at the examination centre.
Government is facing trouble
In the midst of welfare government schemes, this order from the bureaucracy is putting a stain on the impression of the government. According to a senior official, such decrees are trying to create an impression among the public that government colleges and institutions have become so dilapidated that there is no arrangement for students. The students cannot even sit in government institutions.
