The colleges of Kolhan University are running sans full strength of teachers. As a result of this the students are at the receiving end. Referring to the scenario of the Kolhan University, Congress State secretary Chabban said that all the 22 sanctioned post of professors and 44 of readers in the university are lying vacant for long. He said that the State Government is not taking steps to improve education scenario. He said that despite having well established universities, the State sees a huge exodus, with students preferring Delhi, Mumbai and other metro cities in North and West to their own.
The senior Congress leader said that a large number of posts of professors and lecturers as well as other grades were lying vacant in all five universities in Jharkhand, but not a single appointment was made since 2008 because of the bureaucrats. Chabban said Kolhan University has 14 constituent colleges under it, but none of the colleges, barring Singhbhum College in Chandil have a full-fledged principal. The scenario of other four universities—Ranchi University, Ranchi, Vinoba Bhave University, Hazaribagh, Sidhu-Kanhu University, Dumka and Nilambar-Pitambar University, Daltongunj, Palamau — was no different, he alleged.
