please share this: For the kind attention of the union HRD minister, New Delhi Dear Minister, The state of higher education in UP is bad, in fact very bad. Agra University, for past at least ten years has seen its lowest ebb. Founded in 1927, this mother university, one of the oldest in the country, has provided faculty for other universities, produced illustrious leaders like Choudhary Charan Singh, former president Sharma, Mulayam Singh Yadav and a long line of distinguished professionals in all fields. Today it cries for help. Being a state university, central intervention may not be possible, but there are ways to handle the situation. The governor, who is the chancellor, can be persuaded to monitor its working. In brief, the problems are as under: teachers have lost interest in teaching; its dinosaur-like size makes it unmanageable; campus spreads from Noida to Lucknow, with more than 500 affiliated colleges and enrolment of over seven lakh students; results are never announced in good time, examinations are neither fair, nor held within a specific time-frame; fake mark-sheets are available, anomalies in admissions to various courses included B Ed have been highlighted on a daily basis by the media, without any result; appointments are bogus; no promotion/transfer policy. The state government has to decide to split the university into three. The SN Medical College founded in 1850 should be a new university with the famous Agra Mental Hospital under it. The RBS College should become a new agricultural university. This college founded in 1850, is the biggest in the country in terms of land assets. It has provided faculty to Pant Nagar and Pusa ICAR and to so many agricultural colleges, but its demand for upgradation as a university, has been turned down. Also, colleges in Aligarh should be affiliated to local universities. Mathura colleges should be affiliated to the GLA University. We need a new university in Firozabad to take care of colleges in Mainpuri, Etah and neighbouring areas. May I take this opportunity to invite you to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and the Agra University. We have big hopes from you and people say you will prove a very worthy HRD minister. Look forward to hearing from you soon best regards Brij Khandelwal
