Chennai:

Many state -run universities in Tamil Nadu are surrounded by money and are in a serious financial crisis and are unable to pay salaries to teachers, Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi said on Saturday.

The governor alleged that his autonomy has been severely eradicated that it was not a university syndicate, but the state’s secretariats that run the variations, “the Governor accused.

Ravi said, “Higher education scenario in Tamil Nadu is not better. About 25 lakh students are enrolled in our 20 state universities. Most universities are surrounded by money and are in strict financial crisis, even teachers’ salary They are also not able to pay, “Ravi said. His address on the eve of Republic Day.

He claimed that universities have claimed, for the last several years, the state government has not received its fixed shares of funds. And as a result, many people were working with less than 50 percent of the strength of teachers.

“Universities have no money to recruit teachers. At Madras University, which used to be proud of our country, 66 percent posts of teachers are vacant. Due to the continuous non-availability of government funds, some universities have their own Income tax returns have started to be filed. Reporting themselves non-state universities, “Ravi who is the Chancellor of Universities.

More than 10 universities were without registrar and controllers of the examination for many years and the posts were being run on an ad hoc basis. He said, “The autonomy of universities has been severely erased to such an extent that it is not the university’s syndicate, but the state secretariat runs them,” he said.

Regarding the creation of curriculum and syllabus, which were statutory under the domain of the university’s Educational Council, universities were forced to follow a general sub-standard course designed for higher education of the state government. He said that honest and honest university officials were implicated in false and fabricated cases and were subjected to humiliation of police harassment.

“The absence of the Vice Chancellor practically brings universities under the government’s direct control because the secretary acts as the Vice Chancellor. That is a devious way on the flimmy ground.

Pure results were a decline in the quality of education. Due to such a decline, more and more graduates were unemployed as the majority were non-employmentable. The general standard of research was very low. More than six thousand PhDs that our universities produce every year can also qualify for NET/JRF – minimal eligibility standard for research. “The future of millions of students is in danger,” Ravi alleged.

In terms of students’ learning results, especially in schools, Tamil Nadu was among some of the few states below. Citing the annual status of education reports for the last few years, he said that in the event of learning in government schools, ‘very disturbing truth’ was revealed. He said, “About 75 percent of our high school students in government schools cannot read other standard textbooks nor do they recognize the number of all two digits between 11 and 99,” he said.

Since government schools met the poor on a large scale, the decline in learning standards in the state -run schools threatened the future of the poor and pronounced them longer social and economic injustice.

He expressed concern over the increasing threats of illegal drugs, social discrimination, caste crimes, highest suicide rates in the state, and ‘many modules and sleeper cells of terrorist network working in various parts of our state.’

“This (module and sleeper cells of the terrorist network) is a very serious national security concern. It is reducing our social harmony and the ability to severely disrupt our economy. I urge people to be vigilant Hoon and enforcement agencies are aggressively to stop them from the root (“Terror Network),” Ravi said.

He warned the people that they should be cautious against the anti-national elements and are trying to peace, divide and fragment the society in the name of race, religion, language and caste to the vested interests.
