Ghurdauri Engg. College : The picture is as grand, the effect is as bad. Suicide by an assistant professor is enough to expose what nefarious is going on there ?

BY AJAY RAWAT AJEY

During the time of undivided UP, the Ghurdauri Engg. College was established in the name of Govind Ballabh Pant in Ghurdauri as a regional engineering college near the divisional headquarters Pauri, not only with the primary aim to attract local talented youth giving them the opportunity of higher technical education in the near future, but there was also a feeling that alongwith this – the name of Pauri headquarters will also be brought into limelight.

Of course, the more picturesque the land was found for this college, the grander its building infrastructure was also established.

But gradually the effect of this college started deteriorating, perhaps had Uttarakhand would not have been formed and if it was a college of UP, it would have been in the list of top most engineering colleges in the state. However, unfortunately, now it has now been given the status of Autonomous Institution by the Government of Uttarakhand, which instead of being autonomous has become independent.

Not a day passes when there is no tension in this college regarding administrative, faculty, outsourced personnel, canteen, hostel. This big platform for mutual exchange between students and teachers has become separate. It has rather become a centre of squabbles and heated exchanges. Many a times, it seems that many teachers and students who were studying here should have been in Khandyu Sain’s jail next to them instead of being in Ghurdauri Engineering college. .

Two days ago a promising assistant professor ended his life at this age, enough to expose the nefarious activities going on behind the scenes in the college.
