News India Live, Digital Desk: Strict Action by Education Ministry: Recently there has been a case of absence without permission from the important conferences of the Vice Chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru University. Taking cognizance of this serious violation, the Ministry of Education has demanded a detailed explanation from the Vice Chancellor of JNU. According to sources, the JNU Vice Chancellor was to participate in several important meetings and conferences organized by the Ministry of Education, which were related to policy making and implementation of higher education. However, according to the information, the Vice Chancellor did not participate in some of these meetings without the forecast of the ministry. This is considered to be a clear violation of the central government’s instructions, especially when the heads of the Central University are expected to be present in such events. The Education Ministry has taken the matter seriously, as the absence of representatives of major universities on such important forums can affect the process of policy discussions and decision making. The Ministry has asked the Vice Chancellor to inform the reason for this lapse and inform about the steps taken to prevent such incidents in future. The development feared tension in the relationship between JNU and the Ministry of Education. Apart from this, the functioning of the Vice Chancellor has also been questioned. It will be important to see what JNU Vice Chancellor responds to this explanation and what action the Ministry takes further on it. The case also highlights the importance of accountability and central instructions to lead the leadership of educational institutions.
