“Usage of Social Media by Students to Check Corruption and Irregularities in Private Colleges in Hyderabad” ―Professor M.S.Rao









“By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.” ― Adolph Hitler


Currently social media is playing a crucial role to spread news quickly and redress grievances immediately. Social media often spreads negative news more than positive news.  However, you can use social media to check corruption and irregularities in the society.  The television channels and print media are equally aggressive to bring news quickly to the knowledge of others due to cut-throat competition, and to increase their ratings and viewership. They are also eager to check corruption and irregularities to bring culprits to the book.

There are many ways the problems can be resolved in the global society currently. Students often use social media for their personal promotion to get noticed. They can use social media to redress their grievances against their educational institutions. They can help others by showing the direction. When you look at Nirbhaya case, it became famous globally due to social media. Everything comes to limelight quickly due to the usage of social media.

There are private colleges in Hyderabad and other parts of India that cheat students and faculty with their fake branding and false promises. Hence, students and faculty can approach the regulating bodies like All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the universities to which their colleges are affiliated to check irregularities and corruption. It requires is a little of bit research, and right guidance to proceed forward to voice against corruption and irregularities. Of course, you also need a legal expert.


Fate of Faculty in Private Colleges in Hyderabad

Most private colleges don’t pay salaries to their employees who submit their resignations. And some colleges fire their employees arbitrarily without giving salaries and relieving orders.  Such faculty can fight for their rights without any fear. Of course, some of the private colleges are run by goons, toddy traders, real estate brokers and money lenders in Hyderabad. In that case, the faculty can fight for their rights by taking support of social media and approaching the local media.

Press is the fourth estate in democracy. It plays a crucial role to bring irregularities and corruption, and to keep the democracy healthy and vibrant. Hence, faculty can utilize appropriate social media platforms to highlight their grievances. They should not suffer silently when they are humiliated. They can approach AICTE and the affiliated university to redress their grievances. They must not stereotype that all officials are corrupt. They must remember that there are always good officials everywhere to support their causes to redress their grievances. Here is the email id of AICTE aictevigilance@gmail.com for your assistance. Both students and faculty must know the right methods to approach AICTE to redress their grievances. If the problems are not resolved, they can make use of social media to spread the irregularities and corruption and go to media to draw attention. It helps citizens understand the ground realities and take appropriate precautions against corrupt colleges.


Conclusion

Students are the real force in educational institutions. They must make use of social media to spread irregularities and corruption in the society. They are much smarter than others, and are technology savvy. They can create mass movement through social media platforms quickly to check corruption.  

To summarize, be courageous to fight against injustice in the society. Come forward to raise your voice against corruption and irregularities whether it is in your college or in the society. Take the support of media including social media to alert people about the irregularities and corruption in educational institutions and the society to build a strong nation. Jai Hind!

“Don’t Trouble Trouble Till Trouble Troubles You” ―Professor M.S.Rao











“One who wins without problem”, it is just a VICTORY but “One who wins with lot of troubles” that is HISTORY ― Adolf Hitler


Everyone wants to avoid troubles because troubles cause dissatisfaction, and bring discomfort and agony to the individuals. Troubles have both merits and demerits. It all depends on how individuals take them.  If the individuals are strong, they can stand up and fight to the finish to come out with flying colors. If the individuals are weak, they collapse like house of cards. The fact is that you must welcome troubles occasionally as there are several advantages from troubles. Usually humans prefer to remain in their comfort zones. They are averse to risk but want amazing outcomes. They want pleasures without any pressures. It is hypocrisy on the part of humans indeed!


Fight against Odds to Achieve Success

Success doesn’t come to you easily. You must work hard and smart to prove yourself. You have to fight against odds during the course of your journey to achieve success. You must revise your strategies from time to time if you don’t reach your goals and objectives. When you are flexible to revise your strategies and adopt them as per the situation, you will be successful at the end. Similarly, whenever you encounter troubles, you must not surrender. On the other hand, you must fight to the finish to face the troubles. You must change your strategies from time to time to overcome the troubles.


Advantages of Troubles

There are several advantages with troubles. They keep you grounded and humble. You realize where you stand vis-à-vis others. You strive for improvement and excellence. You learn to empathize with others. You begin respecting others as humans. Hence, you must invite troubles occasionally to keep you grounded and humble. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam rightly remarked, “Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success.” 

Troubles help you understand your strengths and weakness. They help you widen your mind and broaden your skills, abilities and knowledge. You understand what works and what doesn’t work. As a result, you grow as a leader. You become flexible. Precisely, you become humble when you tumble with troubles. Upon facing the troubles, you must often take your feedback why troubles are approaching you and how to overcome them effectively. Additionally, troubles teach you when to hold and when to fold.

Troubles teach you to exercise restraint and be patient. Michael A. Schuler rightly remarked, “Sustainability isn't about the quick fix or the cheap solution. Generally it means making a commitment and trying, as best we can, to honor it. In any worthwhile enterprise, from protecting the environment to preserving a relationship, we are going to encounter difficulties. The good life is not a problem-free life. In point of fact, the process of overcoming adversity often produces some of the most rewarding experiences we will ever have. Human beings need to be challenged to 'test their mettle,' as it were. Throwing in the towel at the first sign of trouble or small inkling of distress may be the easy thing to do, but it doesn't help our self-concept. Most of life's troubles can be overcome if we are willing to work through them with patience.”


Conclusion

To tide over testing times, always look at the ideas and issues and don’t bother and talk about the individuals. When your eyes are set clearly on ideas, you will be able to resolve issues easily. Even if there are temporary setbacks, you don’t have to regret because life is all about peaks and valleys. Succinctly, life is a circus. You must learn to take it in your stride. Always thank God for giving you a beautiful life. Have an attitude of gratitude. Enjoy the journey, not the destination.  Remember the sage words of Isaac Asimov "Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome." Life is really great!


“If you are a troublemaker... it’s our job to politically destroy you... Everybody knows that in my bag I have a hatchet, and a very sharp one. You take me on, I take my hatchet, we meet in the cul-de-sac.” — Lee Kuan Yew

“‘Friends of Faculty’ ― Fight for Your Rights ― Satyamev Jayate” ―Professor M.S.Rao












"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." ― John Quincy Adams


Were you cheated by the management of your college where you served loyally for some years? Did your employer betray you after utilizing your services by not paying your last month salary? Were you terminated from your employment by your employer disgracefully?  Are you in financial hardships due to the non-receipt of payment from your employer? Do you want to understand the procedure to get your last month salary from private colleges or educational institutions in India? This article helps you redress your grievance.  

I served as a professor in various private colleges and I have my own bitter experiences with some notorious owners/managements who tried to cheat me by not paying my last month salary. But they failed miserably due to my ethical and legal fight. Here is a tentative procedure to get your last month salary in a fair, legal and ethical manner from private educational institutions in India.

First prepare a draft of your grievance furnishing the details of your association with your college with facts and figures from recruitment to termination. Enclose the scanned copies of all your certificates that serve as evidence. Send your grievance to ‘grievance cell’ to the university with which your college is affiliated currently. You can also send it to the Registrar and Vice Chancellor of the affiliated university. You send it to All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), Delhi which is a regulating body that will quickly check the irregularities. Here is their email: aictevigilance@gmail.com to assist you.  

You can also send your grievance to Human Rights Commission as your family in financial hardships due to non-receipt of your salary from your employer. You can send your grievance to Labour Commissioner to which the college belongs for speedy redressal. Keep the copies of all your complaints for future reference. If you have sent e-mails, keep a copy of each one in a separate folder to track it easily. Wait for two to three weeks for their positive response. If there is no response, you remind them by referring your previous letters and emails for their follow-up. If you send hard copies, make sure that you send them by courier or registered post from Indian postal department. I am sure you will get a positive response and salary from your employer. There is a probability that your unethical employer might have connections with some of the officials to influence them and bribe them.  But remember, most officials are really good. They empathize with you and fight for your right and instruct the erring educational institution to pay your salary. In the meanwhile, your employer might level false charges against you with higher officials to invent excuses for non-payment of your salary. They might blackmail you. Most of the officials are aware of such fictitious charges by these notorious owners and employers. They know that these are gimmicks to defend themselves and put you on further troubles. Don’t give up due to fictitious charges. You can approach media to highlight your issues. They are ready to fight your case due to the cut-throat competition in television channels and other media. Finally, you can file a case in court. You must fight to the finish. Remember, truth alone triumphs (Satyamev Jayate).  

After you receive your salary, thank the people who played crucial roles to get your salary. Have an attitude of gratitude. Also, help other employees who have been cheated like you by their employers. Provide them direction and offer them hope. People often think ‘what is in it for me’ which is wrong. We must help one another during problems to build a better world.


Conclusion

For every problem, there are multiple solutions. Don’t excessively brood over the problems. Always explore options and take immediate action to fight for your rights. Don’t suffer silently.

Be persistent with your approach. Don’t attack the individuals but attack only the issues during your ethical fight. Follow the procedure meticulously and be patient. You will definitely get your salary and overcome your financial hardships and depression. Once you come out with flying colors, you stand out as a leader and role model for others.


"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." — John C. Maxwell
