MUMBAI: The
three-member Local Inquiry Committee (LIC) had conducted inquiry into the
matter relating to MSS College of Commerce in Navi Mumbai. This college is run
by higher and technical education minister Rajesh Tope's family. The inquiry
committee found that the college lacked teachers approved by the university and
also necessary infrastructure. The college is run in a residential complex at
Vashi.
The college had come up in 2007-08 and
at that time Tope’s family had promised to shift the college to some other
place within five years. But the promise was not kept.
All these facts came to light only when Maharashtra
Navnirman Vidyarthi Sena's Santosh Gangurde filed the RTI application.
Tope said that he will rectify his
mistake by shutting down the college if he fails to shift it to a new location
soon. He tried to defend that although the teachers of his college were not
those approved by the university, they were well qualified. He admitted that
something was seriously wrong with the building where the college was being run
and that he had hopes of finding a solution to this problem.
The inquiry also led to the revelation
of the fact that the college did not have a proper library or a qualified
librarian or proper reference books. The college did not even have proper
sports ground and facilities. The students were far less in number than the
allotted strength. The infrastructures and other facilities provided in the
college were shockingly poor.
The university had first set up the
inquiry committee after a complaint by MNVS secretary Gajanan Kale.
