| `Gold medals go to wrong persons at KU Convocation' | | |
Early Times Report
srinagar, Sept 16: The gold medals have not gone to right candidates in the University of Kashmir which observed its annual convocation last week. The students while leveling this allegation said the authorities have selected the gold medalists arbitrarily in totally violation of the statute.
A group of students said the university have selected first class first position holders of some courses by exercising their discretionary powers arbitrarily without assigning any reason thereof, a group of students said.
Moreover, the students claimed that in some courses, the authorities have recommended awarding of the gold medal to second position holders after bypassing first class first position holders without giving any reason under the provision of the statutes.
Students who have qualified the first class first position in courses B.A Fazil, Music and Fine Arts and MEMP in first attempt, have been exempted from receiving a gold medal in the upcoming convocation. "Question is not about the gold medal but about the honour which we deserve. Our parents have also supported us and are eagerly waiting for us to receive the awards", said a student requesting anonymity. "How can they (authorities) justify their ill motives, they want to award the students of their choice in clear disregard to the merit", he added.
Pertinently, in the notification published in various local news papers, Kashmir University had invited all first class first position holders to apply for receiving the honours. "Students had registered themselves after paying the required fee. All deserving students name was forwarded but some of them were unaware that their happiness would be short lived", said another student.
"Despite a Kashmir University notification nominating Sabira as gold medallist asking to fulfil formalities, she was not even intimated by the department about the new nomination. She was given the reason that she had cleared one of her subject in backlog. But the truth is that she qualified that very subject as a 'later on' case due to illness", said one of the students.
A student of BSc IT is also being denied the deserving award on discriminatory basis. "Kashmir University is governed by rule of arbitrariness not by the rule of law. They (Authorities) can change and amend rules for their own interest without following any procedure" said the aggrieved group of students.
Aggrieved students have requested the Governor of state and Chancellor of the University to intervene in the matter in the interest of justice. These students have also decided to make representation before other higher authorities against the discrimination by university authorities in and outside the state.
Repeated attempts to contact the University authorities failed. A senior official on condition of anonymity said "This all is apparent injustice to the aggrieved students and this all is done by the vested interests". |
