Jammu, May 8: The prize
distribution function at Central University of Jammu (CUJ) has came under
scanner after the name of winner of a competition was found replaced by some
'blue-eyed' candidate at the eleventh hour.
CUJ administration on
Friday organized the prize distribution function, in which winners of Annual
Sports meet and Uddan festival, held nearly two months ago, were given prizes
by Vice Chancellor. "In the on the spot photography competition, according
to the results which were announced by the judges during a function organized
at the auditorium hall, Sushil Kumar, a student of Mass Communication and New
Media was declared third," sources said.
They said that students
were shocked when they noticed that the third prize was given to a student namely
Sushil Kumar Shivaji of Human Resource Management rather than Sushil Kumar of
MCNM, whose name was mentioned in the lists circulated in all the departments.
When the shocked students
enquired about the blunder committed by the managing committee, they were told
by a faculty member that she had only announced the name of the students,
according to the list given by the authorities.
"According to the
list in possession of the faculty member, who was comparing the event, the name
of Sushil Kumar of MCNM was struck off with red pen and name of Sushil Kumar
Shivaji of HRM branch was written," the sources said. "When some
students again took up the matter, the authorities tried to hush up the matter
and said that they would also give prize to Sushil Kumar of MCNM to avoid any
controversy," they said. "How it can be possible that name of the
student was deleted at the eleventh hour and that too when all the lists were
published and circulated among all the departments. It is a deliberate attempt
by some faculty member, with ulterior motives. Either the culprit tried to
defame the CUJ or indulged in favouritism," the sources said. They also
alleged that there were some departments in the university whose faculty
members were in the panel of judges and organizing committees for the events
and they deliberately ignore talent of students from other departments and help
their own department students.
Assistant Professor of
Mathematics Department Dr. Pavinder Singh, who was in-charge of event, told
Early Times that if there has been any mistake committed, it would be
rectified.
When asked if there was
any deliberate attempt, he put the blame on students indirectly and said that
students were also involved in the entire exercise of prize distribution
function and it could be an error. He refused to order an enquiry into the
matter.
