Anomalies alleged in hiring

Karnal, February 18

Members of the Shri Lave Kush Mahatirath Trust, Kaithal, alleged discrepancies in the recruitment of professors, associate and assistant professors in Maharishi Valmiki Sanskrit University.

They have accused the VC of setting aside rules in the recruitment process. Suraj Keorak, Trust secretary, said interviews were conducted between January 27 and February 4 and the VC declared the result on February 5. He said recruitment was done as per the UGC Act, 2018, which was yet to be adopted by the state.

Refuting the allegations, VC Shreyansh Dwivedi, said proper procedure was adopted. “We’ve not violated any rule and the recruitment was done as per law.” — TNS
