The proposal for granting autonomous status to Nagpur’s Institute of Science, the oldest and best educational institute in Central India, which has produced hundreds of scholars, is not only gathering dust but has become termite-eaten. And thus the dream of the Institute of Science to gain autonomous status has been shattered and lay in pieces in the stinking corners of the Rashtrasant Tukdoji Maharaj Nagpur University corridors.

The oldest and best educational institute in Central India, the Institute of Science in Nagpur, has become victim of RTMNU’s slipshod style of working, and is being denied the most deservingly autonomous status. The proposal for granting autonomous status to Institute of Science, which has produced hundreds of scholars, is not only gathering dust but has become termite-eaten. And thus the dream of the Institute of Science to gain autonomous status has been shattered and lay in pieces in the stinking corners of the Rashtrasant Tukdoji Maharaj Nagpur University corridors.

The proposal has been lying with RTMNU for the past 8 years, neglected and dusted. Ironically, three Engineering Colleges were bestowed with autonomous status without a drop of sweat within short period. The Institute of Science has produced the best students, who are shining the name of the Institute, not only in India but in the world as well.

The Institute of Science had sent the proposal to RTMNU that saw the every table of different important committees but nobody touched the proposal except the Management Council. The Management Council has granted the sanction to the proposal after the Institute of Science completed all the necessary formalities required for the autonomous status. Earlier, the concerned committees of University Grants Commission (UGC) had carried out inspection of the oldest and best Institute of Science for the purpose but the shabby affairs of RTMNU has been working like a nightmare for the prestigious Institute that is looking forward for a dream come true.

THE BENEFITS:

The RTMNU had sent the proposals of three engineering colleges along with the Institute of Science. The three engineering colleges were granted the autonomous status without any hassles, but despite being the Government educational institute, the Number 1 Institute of Science in Central India, it is being denied of the status. The Institute of Science, even today, is the most prestigious name in Statistics and Science education. Every year students have been researching and many got PhDs. If the autonomous status is granted to the Institute of Science, a separate and crucial facility would be created and additional funds would be provided for significant researches and other related works.

However, the million dollar question, no, the RTMNU question is: Will the Nagpur University stand tall amidst ruins, at least, now?
