The contention PRADESH of the institution that variations in the land documents submitted by the institution initially and subsequently are essentially the typographical mistakes, has not been accepted by the NRC. The two land documents mention the name of the institution as SS college of Education in its Hindi version whereas the name written in English against this name in Hindi, varies in the two documents. In one document, photocopy of which is available with NRC, the English version has been written as SS College of Education whereas in the documents now submitted the English version has been mentioned as ESS ESS College of Education. The two photocopies bears the same serial no. i.e. A289243. In any case, if it was a case of typographical error, proper authenticated correction should have been carried out by the Registering Authority in the original document and its photocopy with proper certification should have been submitted by the institution to NRC. At present, the NRC is in possession of two sets of photocopies bearing same number eg. A289243 in one the name of the institution is written as S.S. College of Education and in another it is written as ESS ESS College of Education. The institution has failed to explain this discrepancy.

The submission in para 6 of the institution’s letter dated 20.01.2011 mentioning that Hon’ble High Court observed that it is a typographical mistake and has been rectified has not been properly understood as there is no such mention in the orders of the Hon’ble High Court.

The institution was asked to further clarify its position on the following:-  The institution claimed that it made the appointment of the faculty prior to issue of letter of intent prior to recognition u/s 7(9) of NCTE Regulations 2009 and issued advertisement in News Line and Kalam Yug in June 2010 and October 2010 respectively. However, since the photocopies of the advertisements submitted was not convincing as to whether the advertisement were actually published in the newspapers, the institution was asked to submit the photocopies of the advertisement in a manner that could establish that the advertisement was actually published.  The minutes of the selection committee were not properly drawn as it did not indicate the no. of applicants who appeared for the interview and no list of such applicants duly signed by the candidates was submitted.

4) The institution was asked to clarify its position on the reply to the Show- cause notice with all necessary documents within 21 days and a letter to this effect was issued to the institution on 19.11.2010 through speed post. The letter was addressed to the Principal Dr. Raghubir College of Education, Jundla, Haryana. This letter has been returned by the postal authority with a remark on the envelope from that in village Jundla, there is no school with the above said name. The return of the letter that could not be delivered on the said address caused serious apprehensions and needed to be seen in the light of the observations of the visiting team initially that the society is running a Pratap Public School at Village Jundla, Karnal and the building of this school is being extended and it is in the extended part “where the D.Ed. course is proposed.”

5) The NRC, therefore, felt at loss as 10 MINUTES OF 177th NRC MEETING HELD FROM JANUARY 27-29, 2010

S.No. File Code Name of the Name of Decision of NRC No. Institution the Course to whether it will be desirable to grant recognition to an institution about which the postal authorities of the area have made a categorical statement. The website of the institution was therefore perused and it was noted that it does not provide any details about the location of the institution. It does not give a building map or photographs of the building indicating its location in the website. Although, the institution was asked to launch its own website covering inter- alia the details of the institution, its location, name of the course applied for with intake availability of physical infrastructure, land building classrooms etc.

6) However, the reply of the institution dated 30.11.2010 and 13.01.2011, which were based on the minutes of the 172nd Meeting of held from November 12-13, 2010 have been carefully considered by the NRC and following observations are made:-

 The photocopy of the advertisement in Kalam Yug and News Line now submitted continues to suffer from the same deficiency and the photocopy fails to establish that the advertisements were actually published in the newspaper. The institution should have provided the copies of the newspaper, in case they were genuine and were interested to establish beyond doubt that they published the advertisement.  The institution could not provide the number of applications which were received in response to the said advertisement and vaguely replied that sufficient no. of applications were received and “suitable candidates were called for interview”. The institution could have at least given the signed list of candidates who appeared for the interview but they failed to do so.  The institution has vaguely claimed that more than 80 applications were received for interview, out of which 8 faculty members including Principal on contract basis were selected by 11 MINUTES OF 177th NRC MEETING HELD FROM JANUARY 27-29, 2010

S.No. File Code Name of the Name of Decision of NRC No. Institution the Course the selection committee.  The institution has issued a fresh advertisement for the post of Principal and other faculty members in Tribune English and Hindi Daily on 10.01.2011 wherein they have advertised requirement of Principal, lecturers, librarians etc. for Dr. Raghbir Singh College of Education (D.Ed.), Jundla, Karnal. It is not understood, as to how the applicants will respond when one of the letter of NRC on the same address through speed post has been returned with the remark of the postal authorities about non-existence of such an institution in Village Jundla, Karnal.  The college authorities have as identified one Mr. Shankar Narayan of Bokaro Steel City, Jharkhand, who is working in Chetana Primary Teacher Training Institute, Puruliaya, West Bengal. An unsigned photocopy of the curriculum vitae of Shri Shankar Narayan has been enclosed with the letter dated 13.01.2011. The institution has not yet conducted any selection committee and has not even appointed Shri Shankar Narayan as the Principal of the college. The website of the institution continues to show Smt. Devender Lamba as Principal of the college who is not eligible for appointment of Principal and whose appointment has already been disallowed by NRC

In view of above, NRC came to the following conclusion:-

 The appointments of the faculty made by the institution prior to issue of Letter of intent under clause 7(9) of NCTE Regulations 2009 has not been found in order. It had been made without following the due process of selection and the institution could not come out fairly to establish its claim that they did issue the advertisement, held the meeting of the selection committee and conducted proper interviews before making selection of the faculty. 12 MINUTES OF 177th NRC MEETING HELD FROM JANUARY 27-29, 2010

S.No. File Code Name of the Name of Decision of NRC No. Institution the Course  The return of the letter dated 19.11.2010 addressed to Dr. Raghbir College of Education, Jundla, Haryana by the postal authority with remarks that no school with the said name exists in the area creates serious doubts, in the context, that the same society is running Pratap Public School in the village Jundla, Karnal. The existence of a separate building for the D.Ed. course with the name Dr. Raghbir Singh College of Education needs to be verified afresh by NRC.

Hence, NRC decided to constitute a inspection team to verify the facts about the existence of the college building in the light of the remarks of the postal authorities that no such school exist in the Village Jundla. This is essential before the institution could complete its process of selection of Principal/faculty in response to the advertisement given by it now in Tribune dated 10.01.2011 and submit the same to NRC. 15. CH-29 INSTITUTE OF B.A. Hons. The letter of the Registrar, Punjab EDUCATIONAL (Edu.), University, Chandigarh received in the TECHNOLOGY AND B.Ed. office on 25.05.2010 has been VOCATIONAL Innovative considered in view of the opinion of COURSES, PUNJAB course Legal Counsel of the NCTE that UNIVERSITY, appropriate steps need to be taken on CHANDIGARH the application of the University while the review application of the NCTE is pending before the Hon’ble High Court.

The present arrangement made by the University is to share the facility of language lab in the Arts Block, for the proposed B.A. honors (Education) B.Ed. course. However, NRC feels that a language lab with all necessary equipments and related software 13 MINUTES OF 177th NRC MEETING HELD FROM JANUARY 27-29, 2010

S.No. File Code Name of the Name of Decision of NRC No. Institution the Course needs to be developed as part of the ICT resource centre of which the ET lab and computer lab will also be a part and it should be exclusively available for the proposed BA B.Ed. course. .  The institution proposes to utilize the University facilities of the main library for the students of the said course as well. While there is no harm to do so but the course itself needs to have a departmental library. The Registrar’s letter admits that they have a departmental library but it has not given any details about the dimension of the departmental library, availability of number of books in the library and the number of titles on education in this library, including seating capacity.  The University proposes to utilize the facility of University auditorium but this facility is in no way, a substitute to the requirement of Multipurpose Hall of adequate size, available exclusively for the B.A. B.Ed. course. The Registrar did mention the availability of one multipurpose room but in the absence of its dimensions and its furnishing, the reply cannot be accepted. Since the institution propose an intake capacity of 100 seats for the course, the department needs to have a multipurpose hall of adequate size to accommodate the course students. As such, the requirement of the multipurpose hall of appropriate size is essential.

The University may be asked to develop the above facilities and submit its details with documentary evidences about the facilities created within 30 days, before further action is taken for the recognition of the course 16.

5) After due consideration of the inspection report and relevant facts, a Show-cause notice was issued to the institution under section 14(3)(b) of the NCTE Act, 1993 for refusing recognition of the course due to lack of built up area, small size of hall, non-availability of demarcated map etc.

6) In response to the Show-cause notice, the institution sent a reply on 18.09.2008, wherein a map was submitted to show that the built up area available to the institution is 1680 sq.mt. Again this document was not approved by any civil authority but was only signed by the Secretary of the Society. No earmarking for the STC course and for the B.Ed. course was indicated and the institution again concealed the fact and did not reply to the question whether they were running a B.Ed. course in the premises as mentioned in the Show- cause notice.

7) Subsequent to the above Show- cause notice, a letter dated 26.09.2008 was also received wherein the institution mentioned that they are going to shift the premises to a newly constructed building at 655, Tonk Road, Bilwa, Sanganner, Jaipur, wherein a total land area of 12124 sq.mts. was available. The land documents with this letter were of the land allotted by the JDA and were already available on file. This letter included a building map of a seven storey building under the project “proposed college at Khasra No.655, Tonk Road, Bilwa, Sanganner, Jaipur”.

8) However, before a decision could be taken by the NRC on the basis of various documents submitted by the institution about recognition of the 16 MINUTES OF 177th NRC MEETING HELD FROM JANUARY 27-29, 2010

S.No. File Code Name of the Name of Decision of NRC No. Institution the Course STC course for which a Show-cause notice was already given, the institution moved to the Hon’ble High Court for seeking direction and thus matter became sub-judice. The opportunity for moving to the Hon’ble High Court came as NRC’s letter dated 17.03.2009 returned the pending applications on the basis of a policy decision taken by NCTE not to grant recognition for STC course in the state of Rajasthan for the academic session 2009-2010. The application of the institution was returned alongwith the processing fees. Although, the case of the institution was liable to be rejected on merit.

9) The application of the institution has been considered afresh in the light of the directions of the Hon’ble High Court and in continuation to the Show-cause notice issued to the institution on 18.09.2008, so as to decide the case independently on merit. The following observations in this regard are made after careful consideration of the various documents submitted by the institution after the issue of Show- cause notice on 18.09.2008 :-  The institution applied for STC course and an inspection for the purpose was made by the NRC in its premises at Siddharth College of Education Plot No.1, Mohana Road, Opposite VT Road, Mansarovar, Jaipur.  The Show-cause notice was issued to the institution before refusal for recognition of the said course to which institution responded with various documents. These documents relate to their campus at Khasra No.655, Tonk Road, Bilwa, Sanganner, Jaipur. Since, no inspection whatsoever was conducted on this premises, the institution is not eligible for recognition of a STC course in this building.  The building plan submitted by the institution for the proposed STC course in their campus at Khasra No.655, Tonk Road, Bilwa, Sanganner, Jaipur did not give any approved building plan for the proposed Siddharth College of Education. The building plan 17 MINUTES OF 177th NRC MEETING HELD FROM JANUARY 27-29, 2010

S.No. File Code Name of the Name of Decision of NRC No. Institution the Course submitted is for a seven storey building wherein there is no mention of the College of Education  The institution at the time of inspection and in essential data concealed the fact that they were also running a B.Ed. course. As such, there is no mention of B.Ed. course in the inspection conducted at Plot No.1, Mohana Road, Opposite VT Road, Mansarovar, Jaipur. Although NRC has been separately considering recognition of this B.Ed. course but the file/ documents do not mention about the B.Ed. course. It is evident that institution got inspection conducted at Plot No.1, Mohana Road, Opposite VT Road, Mansarovar, Jaipur for both B.Ed. course and STC course at different point of time without indicating that they were running a B.Ed. course at the time of inspection of STC course.  The 12124 sq.mts. land allotted by JDA was to the Shri Birbal Medical Society for certain specified courses. While submitting the allotment letter of this land, the society nowhere mentioned as to what are the courses being run by the society at this premises and in the seven storey building approved by the JDA on this premises. The assertion by the society that the land and building is on the ownership of the society to run the newly proposed STC course cannot be accepted as apparently neither the total land nor the building constructed thereon is for the STC course. As such, the institution is not even entitled for an inspection in its new premises.  The lease deed documents has a clear clause that any building constructed on this piece of land will have to have a prior approval of the JDA. Since, the society has not constructed any building in the name of Siddharth College of Education in this premises their application for STC course in a composite building for various other courses in addition to STC courses would not be in 18 MINUTES OF 177th NRC MEETING HELD FROM JANUARY 27-29, 2010

S.No. File Code Name of the Name of Decision of NRC No. Institution the Course accordance with the NCTE Regulations.

In view of above, NRC decided to refuse the recognition of the institution for the STC course. However, since the earlier Show- cause notice given to the institution dates back to 18.09.2008 and a considerable time has passed since then, a fresh Show-cause notice be issued to the institution before said refusal on the above grounds. The reply of the institution be submitted within 30 days 17. HR-1739 MAHENDRA COLLEGE B.ED. The application of the institution dated OF EDUCATION, 03.01.2011 was consequent upon the MAJRA ROAD, VILL- issue of the letter dated 04.12.2010 MAJRA KHURD, POST- by RD, NRC for giving fresh MAHENDER GARH, application in accordance with the TEHSIL/DISTRICT- orders of Hon’ble High Court of Punjab MAHENDER GARH, and Haryana dated 29.07.2010. The HARYANA. institution in its application reiterated its earlier documents which it felt meet the requirement of the fresh application and established that they had met the deficiencies pointed out in NRC’s earlier letter. The documents have been scrutinized afresh and following observations made:-  The initial building plan submitted by the institution with its application for B.Ed. course was not approved by any competent civil authority. The map submitted for B.Ed. course was the same which was submitted in a separate application for JBT course (File No. HR-1597). Although, the two maps are essentially the same, the one submitted for the B.Ed. course has been tampered with, to indicate the construction in the ground floor as 9252 sq.ft. instead of 7252. Similarly, the area of the first floor has been tampered with, to indicate it as 9050 sq.ft. instead of 405 sq.ft. Thus, the total area which is only 7657 sq.ft has been tampered to make it 1650 sq.mts.  The new building plan submitted with the approval of Sub- Divisional Engineer, P.W.D.

Mahendragarh on 15.07.2008 indicates the total covered area of 19 MINUTES OF 177th NRC MEETING HELD FROM JANUARY 27-29, 2010

S.No. File Code Name of the Name of Decision of NRC No. Institution the Course 1600 sq.mts. which, is apparently not a true document in the light of the documents available in the JBT file which gives the total area as 1050 sq.mts. (Here again it should be 7657 sq.ft. only)  The institution has not submitted a proper change in land use certificate. The CLU has not been issued by the competent authority supported by a letter from the Department of Town and Country Planning. The endorsement of Tehsildar, Mahindergarh giving permission for educational work on the land on an application by the President of the Society cannot be accepted as change in Land Use Certificate.  The institution applied for the B.Ed. course and it simultaneously applied for JBT course without any mention of the other course. The application for the B.Ed. course does not even give the date of submission of application.

2) As per clause 8(2) of NCTE Regulations 2009, an institution is eligible for one basic unit at one time. As such, an institution is not even eligible to apply for B.Ed. course when it had already applied for JBT course. The application for B.Ed. course was submitted on 29.07.2008 whereas the institution had already applied for JBT course on 16.04.2008. The application for B.Ed. course was therefore processed in default only.

In view of above, NRC decided to issue show cause notice to the institution for rejection of application for B.Ed. course under clause 8(2) of NCTE Regulations 2009 and NCTE Regulations 2007.

The original HAPUR, DISTRICT- building plan has no mention of GHAZIABAD,-245304, the land details, existing UTTAR PRADESH available building and total built up area proposed to be made available for B.Ed. course. It is not understood as to why the new building plan is different from the one submitted with the application.  The new building plan now submitted with the approval of Gram Panchayat Pilakhwa giving details of the built up area includes existing building and proposed building. Apparently, the D.El.Ed. course is proposed to be started in the proposed building. The details of existing built up area and area of proposed building has not been indicated.  It is apparent that the total plot area of 5010 is housing its existing building covering considerable portion of the plot. The remaining area is earmarked for proposed building/course. This leaves no land available for playground etc.  The application of the institution is silent about the existing courses run by the college and the manner in which existing building of the college is being used for these courses. This made the application incomplete and liable to be rejected on the above grounds.
