C. V. Raman Global University

The University status is highly controversial and largely opposed by Students & intellectual mass of india.Students and alumni demanded to refund their more 100 cores illegal capitation fees collected by College authority from them.They alleged that college has been collecting excess fees from nearly 4000 students ,in blatant violation of FSC(Fee Structure Committee)guidelines,much beyond it's prescribed limits.The government post receiving grievance petitions had directed the college to refund the excess fees to all students expeditiously but college management is not refunding them their refund irrespective of FSC & Court Orders. Sensing the gravity of the issue, the SDTE Department had referred the matter to PPB (Policy Planning Body)appointed by Hon'ble Supreme court of India,to examine the affidavits and ensure Swift resolution.The PPB board after thorough examination,found substance in the facts and issued show cause notice to the concerned college as per it's delegated powers. Meanwhile,the college in order to escape the operation of Relevant sections of OPEI Act,4(10), had applied to Govt. for upgradation to university status adopting a back door Policy. Ironically, the State Law department had made a blunt observation, against upgradation to University in violation of university Guidelines 3.4. The department has unequivocally seconded the opinion on legal merit to SDTE Department that the college escapes from operation of OPEI Act,4(10),if upgraded to University. Crucially enough,the OPEI act 4.(10) strictly prohibits all college within it's purview from collection of capitation fees,/ Course Fees beyound the limit prescribed by the FSC,in any form. Violation of this clause attracts cancellation the, Affiliation of the institution concerned, with other Punishments as fit under penal criminal code. In meanwhile the Institution authority informed SDTE Department's constituted HPC that they had refunded the excess amount to students those had paid excess fees by several random cheque numbers. But Students/ petitioners have strongly and unequivocally rejected the such false claims made by the college,submitted valid representations to Department regarding the non-recepit and fake cheque numbers,for a necessary,swift and decisive action. This was ignored by the SDTE officials and bill placed before Odisha Legislative Assembly following due procedure but when the C. V. Raman Global University Bill placed before Odisha State Legislative Assembly it was strongly opposed by the Opposition members and they demanded instead of passing this bill send it to the Select Committee. The Opposition Chief Whip MLa Mohan Majhi gave a Statement in the floor of the Assembly that this is the scam of the century and a coterie of back channel managers, willfully manoeuvring the existing loopholes of legal Governmental procedures, routed through the power Center and a powerful lobby is working For this a CA firm managed and operated by college and the CA of one trader form Tamilnadu having mysterious relation between the college admistration,one Erstwhile Minister of SDTE from Puri District,coterie of corrupt officials are operating in this Scam and a deal of550 Cores Ruppes happened for giving university status. The Congress Lesgislative party Chief Whip Said that it seems to be with reasonable clarity the invisible culprit areorchastrating this grossly illegal violations and if the rulling party will pass this bill then he will go for a Hunger Strike and other opposition leader seconded him. After this matter came widely in Media the office of Honorable Governor of Odisha has sought a detailed report on undue favors shown to CVRCE before giving accent to the bill but for 3 months SDTE Department didnot give any report to His Excellency Governor of Odisha. Students/Petitioner/Alumni filed their petition before PPB MHRD All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Univesiry Grant Commsion(UGC) against this controversial University Status and matter is still pending with those statutory authority till date
