Corruption in Education-India

This may be news to media.All affiliations are done for a consideration from the concerned authorities right from granting permission to start a school, colleges for normal courses or Engg. /medical colleges.The moment you file an application to start an educational institution, you are asked to pay an amount which varies from RS. 5 lakhs for a school to minimum 25 lakhs for a Teachers Training college and the amount for professional colleges is quite high.Either the clerk you submit application to directly demands or you get a call, in many cases from the Education Minister’s PA.AICTE also demands the same, despite their morlistic ads not to pay. Teachers Training colleges have dual control.AICTE rule says that if you do nor receive adverse communication from AICTE within 30 days you can go ahead and start the institution.The catch is the concerned state should give NOC to start the same .TN does not give the certificate stating that they are short of people to inspect the premises(!)( fact is the State has a tug of of war with AICTE as to who is bigger and the state has gone to court and some confusing judgmets,one stating AICTE is the sole authority;another the state can grant permission).If you start when you do not receive adverse report from AICTE, the state will immediately declare the instituion as as NOT Recognised.If you pay up both of them keep quiet. Why don’t you conduct a sting on this?You will find that what you have unearthed is not news at all in comparison.
