“Some believe there is nothing one man
or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills -- against
misery, against ignorance, or injustice and violence. Yet many of the world's
great movements, of thought and action, have flowed from the work of a single
man. A young monk began the Protestant reformation, a young general extended an
empire from Macedonia to the borders of the earth, and a young woman reclaimed
the territory of France. It was a young Italian explorer who discovered the New
World, and 32 year old Thomas Jefferson who proclaimed that all men are created
equal. ‘Give me a place to stand,’ said Archimedes, ‘and I will move the
world.’ These men moved the world, and so can we all.” — Robert F. Kennedy
It is unfortunate to bring it to the
notice of my beloved students and readers that cheating and blackmailing by a few
owners of some private colleges in Hyderabad. Some of the real estate brokers,
toddy traders and money lenders established private pharmacy, medical and
engineering colleges in Telangana State and especially in Hyderabad. Their main
intention is to make fast money by hook or crook. They collect fee from
students heavily. If the regulating bodies object, they collect money through
projects or for lack of attendance or through other means. They harass students
to pay huge money for lack of adequate attendance or ask students money for
joining courses either directly or indirectly. Usually some private companies
adopt unethical practices to collect money through hidden costs and the same
culture was started by these notorious toddy traders, real estate brokers or
money leaders whose sole intention is to make money unethically. They also
promise moon to students by getting their institutions ranked by paying bribes
or showing that they have the best faculty and infrastructure in the city. In
this way, they cheat students.
These notorious owners of private
colleges promise handsome salaries on time to faculties and intellectuals at
the time of recruitment. They promise that they pay salaries as per All India
Council for Technical Education (AICTE) norms but cheat faculty and also
regulating bodies like AICTE and the universities they are affiliated. They
hire faculty before inspections and fire them once the inspections are
over. They don’t pay summer vacation
salaries to their faculty. They terminate the services of faculty in the name
indiscipline or lack of good feedback from students. They are very sadistic to
keep the intellectuals waiting outside their offices. They stop the salaries of
servicing intellectuals to show their sadism and egotism. Their egos get satisfied when the
intellectuals wait outside their offices asking for salaries. Some of the
intellectuals compromise with the insults and some adjust to the realities of unhealthy
academic ambience in these private colleges. If intellectuals question such
insults and atrocities, they are fired without paying salaries. When they
question these private owners for non-payment of salaries, they are blackmailed
by the private owners with fake charges. Is there no end for such ill-treatment and irregularities?
Students often question the reasons
for lack of good faculty in private colleges. It is not basically the salary
but the poisonous culture in these private colleges that prevent the best
faculty from joining.
The owners or private colleges are
notorious in keeping the regulating bodies happy by inviting them to deliver
guest lectures or keynote speeches on college events and celebrations. They pay
a huge honorarium to these officials from regulating bodies. Hence, they don’t
take action against such rogue private owners when grievances are filed by
intellectuals and aggrieved individuals.
These notorious owners build their
brands by inviting some ordinary people on the public podium speak a few great
words about them in graduation-day ceremonies and events. Other spectators think
that these ordinary people speak from their hearts. The fact is that they have
been hired to speak a few good words on stage which is unknown to others. It is
a stage-managed event. They play lots of such gimmicks to build their college
brands by fooling people.
Having read the challenges for both
students and faculty in private colleges in Hyderabad, you might think that
there is no way out of this nuisance. I strongly believe in ideas for irritating
issues. One man like Mahatma Gandhi fought against British on the principles of
truth and non-violence to attain India’s independence. One man like Martin
Luther King Jr ended racial discrimination in America. One man like Nelson
Mandela ended apartheid in South Africa. Therefore, one man who can check the
irregularities and corruption in private pharmacy, medical and engineering
colleges may be Professor M. S. Rao or YOU. You may be a common man, or a
student or a teacher or a conscious citizen of India. It is your responsibility
to stand against injustice and fight to convert educational institutions into
temples of learning. Let us all strive hard to bring the change and transform
educational institutions because the best brains, citizens and leaders come
from these temples. Jai Hind!
“Your goodness is impediment in your
way, so let your eyes be red with anger, and try to fight the injustice with a
firm hand.” ― Sardar Vallabhai Patel

It is unfortunate that some cheats and rogues started establishing educational institutions. They preach great things in public places and practice unethical activities. I appreciate your boldness to fight irregularities and injustice and report the things on social media platforms.
ReplyDeleteLegal action should be initiated against such cheats so that it becomes a lesson for other notorious private managements. I request you to start a forum to fight for the rights of employees and intellectuals so that all are benefited.
Also I request you to name the institutions that involve in cheating and blackmailing intellectuals.
Bold article with thought provoking ideas. Some rogues have converted education into prostitution. It is time to clean the education system in India to keep it free from criminals.
