Lucknow, 06 July (HS): The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi

Parishad (ABVP), Lucknow, on Monday submitted a memorandum to the

Vice-Chancellor of Lucknow University, Prof. J. P. Saini, demanding stringent

action against the alleged illegal collection of money from students in the

name of viva voce and practical examinations at the university-affiliated Shree

Geet Law College, Itaunja. The memorandum also sought a fair and impartial

inquiry into various academic and administrative irregularities prevailing in

the institution.

Earlier, ABVP karyakartas visited the college and attempted

to hold discussions with the Principal regarding the complaints raised by

students. However, instead of engaging in constructive dialogue, the college

administration allegedly adopted an uncooperative and insensitive approach.

Subsequently, an ABVP delegation reached Lucknow University and submitted a

memorandum containing six key demands to the Vice-Chancellor.

The memorandum called for a comprehensive inquiry into the

alleged illegal collection of money in the name of viva and practical

examinations, an impartial investigation into the academic and administrative

irregularities in the college, and strict administrative as well as legal

action against those found responsible. It further highlighted that despite

several serious irregularities, the institution has continued to function for

years, adversely affecting the academic interests of students. Taking serious

note of the matter, Vice-Chancellor Prof. J. P. Saini assured the delegation

that the university would conduct a fair inquiry and ensure appropriate action

in accordance with the findings.

ABVP Bakshi Ka Talab Convenor Ankit Pandey said, Educational

institutions are meant to shape the future and character of students, not to

become centres of their economic exploitation. The alleged illegal collection

of money in the name of viva and practical examinations, along with the mental

pressure imposed upon students, is an extremely serious issue. ABVP will never

compromise on the interests of students. We expect the Lucknow University

administration to conduct a fair and time-bound inquiry into the entire matter

and ensure strict administrative as well as legal action against those

responsible. If any laxity is shown in delivering justice to the students, ABVP

will be compelled to launch a phased agitation, and the entire responsibility

for the same will rest with the concerned college administration and the

university administration.
