Student’s Grievances at Defence University (DIAT)

Dear Chancellor Sir and PM Modi Ji

We are the M Tech and PhD students of the defence university DIAT (DU), Pune. You are the Chancellor of the University and hence, we are writing this letter to solve PG students problems/grievances.

Problem 1: No Security for Terrorists attack: You already aware about terrorists attack at Peshawar school, Australia cafe and France magazine office. DIAT is also a potential and soft target for terrorists. There is No Security at DIAT (DU). Almost 200 military officers and 100 civilian officers are living in a very dangerous situation. Every week, one of the houses of Military officers or Civilian officers is robbed by local goons/thief’s. DIAT security is always sleeping because contractor is paying bribe to some administrative officers. It is a better that security should be handled by MILIT (Military Institute of Training, Pune) but DRDO Hqrs denied it. Who will be responsible if terrorist strikes DIAT? Please take care of this dangerous situation. There should be strict security for Defence organizations.

Problem 2: No Vice Chancellor: After 11st Aug 2014, there is no VC in the University. Dean is Officiating VC of the University. She is not fully fledged VC so she is unable to work properly. Registrar and Finance Officer are directing her and she is working under tremendous pressure. Both registrar and FO spoil the environment of the University. PG Students and faculties are unwanted element for them. Both can do every non-sense act to molest students.

Problem 3: No Scholarship:  M Tech Students are not getting scholarship from last 6 months and still Registrar Office is sleeping. They are spoiling our life but they are enjoying their life because of absence of VC. Even PhD students are not getting scholarship regularly. Now we are feeling that DIAT does not wanted GATE qualified students. Please take care of it. It is a loss of brain power of talented students and no one bothers about it.

Problem 4: No Food: Today onwards (w.e.f. 08^th Jan 2015) we are not getting food from POINTS Hostel because Dr K Bala and Dr H Panda (Chairman PHMC and Warden respectively) have asked Mess contractor to not make food for PG students. If any student die of starvation, then Dr Bala AND Registrar will be responsible. We students are very frustrated and now we will take the path of agitation or suicide. It is a shame for Defence Department that they can not provide good food to the students (future of India). Administration is not acting properly and even Registrar and Office Asistants are harassing girls and boys. Mess Contractor Bill is pending with Dr Bala from last month but he was enjoying LTC and TD to his home town. As a Chancellor you are requested to take strict action against them. The condition of accommodation is very poor. No cleanliness of bathrooms and corridors. Some students are making their food in open area of the hostel.

Problem 5: No Faculty: Recently some faculties have been terminated from several departments. M Tech Programs are going on without faculties. Registrar and FO are responsible for it. They humiliated the ladies and gents faculties and now they are doing everything to make their life hell and miserable. Who will responsible for students spoiled future? DRDO Hqrs are also responsible for this menace. Every Administrative Officer is busy in corruption (corruption in recruitment of OA/LA, security and maintenance contract, laptop purchase, MES contract etc).

Problem 6: No Academic Help: Registrar is always acting like dictator. All faculties and students are helpless. He is enjoying the facilities of DIAT like Transport (Car), medical, house but he not bothered about others. Some HoDs are acting like Registrar’s Bouncer (Bar boy) to molest M Tech and PhD students. Almost Rs 10 Lacs has been spent on Registrar house in the name of renovation which is the loss of Indian tax payers’ money.  You can check MES accounts for this loss. MES is also a corrupt body of Military services.

You are the Chancellor of this University and hence, we are hoping to do some corrective measures to help us. Please help the PG students otherwise there is no future of India. PM Narendra Modi ji is busy in Swachcha Bharat Abhiyan but there is a need of Bharastachar Mukt Abhiyan.

With best regards

Sincerely Yours

All PG Students
