SKUAST-K students flay press reports against VC


Students of SKUAST-K have termed the recent reports in a section of Kashmir press against Dr Tej Pal Singh, vice chancellor SKUAST-K  ‘as a part of smear campaign and malicious,’ which is being done to undermine his contribution to the university.

A group of students of SKUAST told Kashmir Dispatch that the Vice Chancellor is been unnecessarily dragged into controversies by university ‘insiders’ through active support of some newspapers.

The students said the VC saved precious time of students who due to summer unrest couldn’t finish their degrees on time. They claimed the admission of students in spring semester is contradictory as has been reported in the press.

“ The students of SKUAST-K who could not finish their degrees on time due to summer turmoil, were given fair chance by Vice Chancellor SKUAST-K by giving us admission in spring semester to save their precious year,” the student said.

They said the spring admissions in SKUAST-Jammu are a normal practice and for the first time these were introduced in SKUAST-K.

“The image of the honest and helping VC is being dented through a false media campaign by those who do not want him to continue and see the university benefit from his experience,” the students said.

“The VC has no personnel benefits for getting the needy students admission,” they argued.

The students of SKUAST-K said since his appointment, the university has seen some improvement in its functioning.
