Nagpur: Tension has escalated at Bhausaheb Mulak Ayurved College in Nandanvan, Nagpur, following a dispute between the faculty and the administration. Professor Dr. Prafull Wadichar was removed from his post after repeatedly demanding pending salary, triggering widespread uproar. A concern in this regard was raised and the pertaining documents are in possession of Nagpur Today.
For the past two years, salary delays have been reportedly a serious concern for the faculty of the college. Around 67 professors are reportedly awaiting their dues. Against this backdrop, Dr. Wadichar said he had persistently followed up with the principal. However, he alleged that his biometric attendance ID was blocked, his entry into the campus was restricted, and eventually, he was terminated from service.

Talking to Nagpur Today, Dr. Wadichar stated, “I have been working sincerely and honestly, yet I was targeted just for demanding my rightful salary. The principal pressurized me to resign. This is harassment, and a similar incident had occurred with me earlier in December.”
Principal Kale’s clarification
Meanwhile, Principal Y.D. Kale while talking to Nagpur Today refuted the allegations, explaining, “The college has been facing financial constraints for the last few months. Due to the government’s order of not charging fees from backward class students, salary disbursements are delayed. We tried to explain this to Dr. Wadichar several times, but he repeatedly insulted me. I have accepted his resignation, and his pending salary has been credited to his account. However, salaries of 67 other professors are still pending as the government owes us ₹1.5 crore in scholarships. Once received, we will clear the dues.”
This incident has once again highlighted the ongoing issues of delayed salaries and job security faced by professors in private medical and Ayurved colleges.
