Barkatullah University (BU) Executive Council (EC) in its meeting held on Tuesday rejected State Government’s proposal demanding land for setting up a national-level educational institution on BU land.
Besides, the much hyped proposal for purchasing of Super Utility Vehicle (SUV) worth Rs16 lakh for the Vice-Chancellor has been postponed for the next EC meeting.
BU EC Member Amit Sharma said that EC has decreased the fees of biotechnology department.
Earlier, the fee was increased by 40 per cent. EC intervened in the matter and reduced it to level of 25 per cent increase for the welfare of the students.
Sharma further said that Arun Raghuwanshi, a lecturer in microbiology department of the university demanded permission for a foreign project which was rejected by EC on the ground that he did not submit report of his previous two foreign trips in the university yet.
The post of Director of Barkatullah University Institute of Technology (BUIT) has been changed to professor by the EC, in the next EC meeting an advertisement will be approved for the post.
It is worth mentioning that Rector DC Gupta presently holds the post, added Sharma.
