Allahabad University Issues!!

Allahabad University is a premier Central University located in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. The University is having many academic departments from which the headship of eight departments has been changed and giving prior to the most experienced faculty member with the rotational headship policy. The following departments headship had changed, Prof Manorama Sinha had taken the charge of Geography department, Prof Usha Mishra had taken the charge of Education department, Prof S K Nahar had taken the charge of Music and Performing Arts department, Prof P L Vishwarkarma had taken the charge of Medieval and Modern History department, Prof Jata Shankar had taken the charge of Philosophy department, Prof K K Azad had taken the charge of Mathematics, Prof Jagadesh Narayan had taken the charge of Electronics department, Prof M F U Kazami had taken the charge of Political Science department. Actually the headship of Biotechnology and Sanskrit departments are also had to take charge but it was postponed due to some reasons.

Allahabad University authorities have decided to make the exanimate parking areas of science faculty functional in the future. When the parking areas are came into structural, the teachers, employees and the students of science faculty and non teaching staff would not be allowed to take their vehicles, be it car or two-wheeler inside the main gate of   the campus. Actually there are two gates one is from the Katra market side and the other is Company garden side. Because of opening of the two gates, the Science campus outsiders used the short cut in order to get away from hefty traffic. Apart from this, the girl students of the faculty were susceptible of eve-teasing as outsiders have an open and uninterrupted access to the faculty.

Political issues are also raised in the University between Anugrah Narain Singh is the Congress candidate and  Students Union president and Vivek Singh, is the Congress candidate in Banda. Both are sitting Congress MLAs and working for a re-election this time. Vivek Singh says, “Student unions are like nurseries for politics and it is natural for student leaders to graduate to state level politics. Since politics on the campus is essentially between peers, one learns how to remain an equal between equals — instead of becoming a first between equals — and this helps in politics if one sticks to the principle.”
