Nagpur university vice chancellor proposed to purchase a new Skoda car
Nagpur University, that is facing a financial crunch, doesn't mind spending on new luxury vehicles for its bosses even though present one is in good condition. The NU has proposed to purchase a new Skoda car for vice-chancellor Vilas Sapkal, sources disclosed.
Its purchase committee has already green signalled the purchase and the proposal would come up before Management Council meeting on April 17.
Though newly-appointed PRO Prashant Mohite couldn't be contacted, finance and accounts officer (FAO) Puran Meshram stated that though Skoda car was finalized by the purchase committee, he was not sure of its price. "The proposal is before the Management Council. Only after its approval, will the new vehicle be purchased," he clarified.
Though the agenda for Management Council's forthcoming meeting doesn't mentioned what NU would be doing with the Honda City that V-C uses at present, Meshram stated that car would be given over to registrar Mahesh Yenkie as his Ambassador was very old. "NU had to spent lot of money on maintenance of old vehicles. Those would be sold following due procedure," he said declining to comment further.
Sources said the Honda city was purchased in 2005 for Rs 8,59,590 along with an Ambassador for pro-VC for Rs 5,20,092. It had stirred up a controversy as NU had spent Rs 10,000 and Rs 4,000 respectively extra to get VIP numbers for the vehicles.
There was actually no proposal for even purchasing a vehicle for pro-VC. Citing audit reports, Prakash Bansod had filed a petition in High Court alleging several financial irregularities. He had claimed that NU failed to sell old vehicles and still purchased new ones, thus wasting money. When the issue again created furore in NU Senate, Pathan had offered to pay Rs 10,000 spent for the VIP number.
Sources said on the one hand NU had hiked the exam fees citing financial crunch while on the other, it was spending precious money on luxury vehicles. Sapkal has also sought permission from Management Council to visit Germany for an international conference from June 18 to 22. He is supposed to present a paper there and chancellor has already sanctioned his leave.
