I am writing this as an ordinary citizen of India, one of the honest taxpayers who live under the mercy of every columns- politician, bureaucracy, media, justice and what not. The media today is much more responsible than a few years back. But still today our reporters are too obsessed with the news about politicians and bureaucrats. I do not corroborate this obsessed accentuation on political figures in the columns. If our education system is cleansed we could produce ideal citizens who will take care of these nasty mughals of Indian democracy.
Today our education system is in the hands of some academic dons, more dangerous than Dayoods Ibrahims, Chhota Sakeels and Abu Salems. Why dont you investigate into their activities through investigative journalism and interviews? I believe this way you could do some noble jobs for the nation. Today I will give you example of one such person who is playing with the lives of thousands of our next generation citizens, teachers, scientists and above all floods of funds from the national treasury built by millions of poor people.
Dr. M. D. Tiwari was never a reputed teacher or scientist. But he is an expert in making connections. He served mostly in UGC and made many connections in Delhi and could become Vice Chancellor of a new university in UP, probably Bundelkhand. He had some charges there and had to leave. He was close to the the-then HRD Minister Murali Manohar Joshi who made him Officer on Special Duty and then Director of Indian Institute of Information Technology at Allahabad. He has no expertise in information technology, neither he is expert on computer science. These kinds of institutes such as IITs or IIITs must have a specialist as the leader and we have no dearth of such experts in India or abroad. People tell he used to supply briefcases to Dr. Joshi before and after elections. Most of the staff in 'HIS' institute is from his locality and from family members of ministers men. Examples now. His peons Sankar and Shambhu were nephew of Mr. Upadhyay the PA of Joshiji. His own nephew Kanchan Tiwari and son of his brother in law Brijesh hold two important posts. Jyoti Upadhyay daughter in law of Mr. Upadhyay, PA of Joshiji got RA post just after completing her M.Sc. He placed one lady Pallavi Dixit with a PhD in inorganic chemistry in the Indo Russian Center of Biotechnology. Is there any relation of her subject with biotechnology. She is daughter in law of Prof. Dixit a Joshi man again. He recruited Rahul Gupta in the institute. He is son of Prof. AK Gupta, a member of the Governing Body of IIITA. All the talented staff who joined at IIITA from India and abroad left due to his torture [Ranjan, Vyas, Manish etc.]. Only the yes-men are left. After the change of Ministry in Delhi he has recruited the daughter of Mr. Pramod Tiwari, local congress MP. Nobody understands why the son of Mr. Katju was recruited as a lecturer, it is only because his father was the Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court.
His most desperate act was to appoint Miss Anurika Vaish. She holds a PG degree in commerce and a diploma in business management. There was no such course in IIITA when she was recruited. Dr. Tiwari started management much later just to justify her appointment. When information technology courses were new, nobody could explain why management was needed in that institute. There are several vehicles from her family hired by IIITA. Even contract of the mess of the hostels was given to her father. Everybody in the institute know his relation with that girl! Vaish family is said to be an old family friend of Mr. Tiwari. Mr. Vinod Vaish owns the naini hostel (which is 30 km from the main campus).
Indo-Russian Center of Biotechnology was supposed to be established as a full-fledged center in New Delhi. Prof. MM Joshi took it to Allahabad. It was planned to be started in the space of Nehru Science Center rented by IIIT until its own building would come. Dr. Tiwari grabbed that center in IIIT and started it as a project. He could do this only due to his closeness to Mantriji and his Bhaiya. He even unceremoniously relieved its first Project Coordinator without any notice and reasons. That man was selected by a high level committee composed of secretary DBT, secretary DST, eminent scientists such as Prof. Asis Datta, Prof. Padmanavan etc. His fault was, he knew Russian language and biotechnology but did not support the corrupt views of Dr. Tiwari. Dr. Tiwari then placed his too-close lady Dr. Krisna Mishra in that post. In this way he killed the future of a new institute!
It can be seen that most of IIIT Allahabad Administration and some of the faculty are relatives and friends of Mr. M.D. Tiwari hence efforts must be made not to just remove the corrupt director but also his close yes-men (and women) and prevent the future of the students of IIIT Allahabad from doom.

I am surprised the GOI and the MHRD are playing mute spectators when the lives of thousands of students are at stake here. If the Government cannot stand up for the ideals on which this great nation as we proclaim was built, I am not sure what i can say about this, except that it is one of the numerous steps we are swiftly taking towards our own doom. A humble request to Mr. Kapil Sibal, to allocate some of his valuable time to this roaring issue which depicts the despotism of the rulers of old. Noway, the students of an institute of national pride and repute like IIIT-Allahabad, can be put through this trauma. Please, give us some hope and show us that we are not living in a democracy where our voices carry no importance even when we are fighting for our own existence.

Alumnus IIIT-Allahabad,
Class of 2009.
again and again i feel like m pissed off and y only me.. all of us pissed of by this indian govt. :X
ReplyDeleteMr.MD Tiwari was the vice chancellor in MJP Rohilkhand University in (spite of Bundelkhand). There was a regiment against him/Due to his unlawful activities , agitation against him was moved on roads too. Due to peoples agitation a convocation programme was cancelled at the elevent hour. Mr.Murli Manohar Joshi ,Shri Suraj Bhan,hon'ble governor and Higher education minister were the guest of that convocation.Local BJP workers raised voice against MD Tiwari's unlaw full activities.Issue was raised up with State Goverment as well as Parliament too.
ReplyDeleteAfter MD Tiwari, Prof. Nandi is known for his Tugalaki type decisions. He has made Dr. Vijay Chaurasia, Chief Proctor of the Institute on the day when he was posted in RGIIT Amethi. means, a person without being present at Jhalawa Campus is made Proctor of that campus.
ReplyDeleteAfter Him Prof. Biswas has done excellent work to close the Institute and closed many things like MSCLIS programme, Bio-medical engineering programme, canteen subsidy, RGIIT Amethi campus, Science conclave. It seems he has been appointed in the capacity of Director (Closure).
I want to ask this question to all the people from intelligentsia as why our media and government is only active I someone commits suicide? Why we have to wait till that moment? Almost 40 number of employees in IIITA is on the verge of committing suicide and there are many who are facing oppression but the MHRD and media, all are keeping mum and waiting for some unpleasant development.
Prof. Biswas's only agenda was to close whatever is running in the institute. It seems that he has been appointed by the ministry to close this institute. If this is true then his performance as Director (Closure) is remarkable in almost two year. In the last one and half year he has worked as the puppet of some of his coterie members and practiced only nepotism. He has shown that he not only lacks mind in running of administration but he does not has a good heart also.
All these can be verified by the decreasing number of enrollment of students in various programmes in the institute in the last two year.
I would like to ask it from all the faculty of IIT Kanpur that did they sent him to ruin the Institute so that IIIT Allahabad cannot be their competitor in future.
