Aspects of Corrution in KU and role of CIAA
Entry of Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) into KU was along expected lines. It is rather late that CIAA has taken upon itself an arduous task of investigating in KU because many have felt that CIAA should have been there in KU a long time back. Investigation in KU is not an easy task in that it represents a systematic corruption of Suresh Raj Sharma, Sitaram Adhikary and Bhadraman Tuladhar from the inception of KU itself. From toileteries to building construction, from nepotism to greasing the palm of Nepali politicians, Suresh Raj has managed to dent the system and accrue undue benefits for himself and powers that matters. Apart from these financial irregularities, another detestable corruption Suresh Raj is presiding over in KU is academic corruption. Many have said and spoken how Sitaram, Suresh Raj and Bhadraman have bent the rules and admitted their wards in KU system. Therefore, it is worthwhile to discuss different aspects of corruption in KU.
Academic corruption
Academia deserves valuation of virtue and talent. Academia can never succeed on celebration of mediocrity. However, in the name of self-sustainment, Suresh Raj has successfully turned KU into an institute where powerful ones of Nepal can easily admit and graduate their wards. When Suresh Raj and Sitaram saw the political class and bureaucrats lining upto them for admission, they,too, started admitting their wards. Sons of registrar, both Brijesh Adhikary and Sarad Adhikary, would have never made to KU both as a student and teachers except for bending the rules by Sitaram.
Regarding Bhadraman Tuladhar, less said is better. His son Daniel Tuladhar was unfit for entry into KU as he had less than 50% in I.Sc.. Then, Bhadraman used some connection and got his son admitted in one shoddy engineering college in Ukraine. After graduation in Road and Highway Engineering, Bhadraman imposed him in Mechanical Engineering department using all his force as a dean of Engineering. As a leading light of KU, Suresh Raj has, in this case also, the credit of the most blatant violation of academic honesty. He relaxed KU-created requirement just to admit his youngest daughter who has recently passed away.
Nepotism is not the only one academic corruption on the part of Suresh Raj, Sitaram and Bhadraman. They have played around with semester results, answer sheets submitted by teachers and even entrance results for KUMET. There are many non-deserving candidates in Medical and Engineering whose admission has been possible because their parents were in good book of Suresh Raj, Sitaram and Bhadraman. It has been contested very hotly in KU premises that Sitaram has even given an admission to a younger brother of an Asst. Professor of Electrical and Electronics department in violation of the requirement for entry into that branch of Engineering. The reason ascribed for this action of Sitaram relates with making his son Brijesh Adhikary comfortable in the department.
Thus, CIAA needs to investigate academic irregularity by checking the credentials of the wards of Suresh Raj, Sitaram and Bhadraman Tuladhar. Similarly, CIAA must seize all the archives in the exam section and find out anomalies in KUMET entrance examination. CIAA must investigate whether Sharad Adhikary and Daniel Tuladhar are given position in KU by breaching existing rules or not.
Financial irregularity
One of the commenters here in this blog has claimed that she/he has a proof of Prof. Dr. Pushpa Raj Adhikary claiming Prof. Dr. Sitaram Adhikary to be involved in a huge scale corruption in KU. Prof. Dr. Pushpa Raj Adhikary is one of the confidants of both Suresh Raj and Sitaram Adhikary. Still he is controller of examination and priorly he functioned as Dean of the School of Science. When someone,who is working so closely with both Suresh Raj and Sitaram, makes such a claim in black and white, CIAA should immidiately gather the proof and investigate it from that angle. We have managed to receive the e-mail correspondence of Prof. Dr. Pushpa Raj Adhikary and one former staff of KU, wherein Prof. Dr. Pushpa Raj has categorically said that Sitaram Adhikary is in massive corruption in KU. We do not believe that someone who is so close to Suresh Raj and Sitaram would speak such a thing without any evidence. We can forward that e-mail to CIAA provided the identity of the provider is kept secret to prevent possible physical and mental attack by Suresh Raj Sharma, Sitaram Adhikary and Pushpa Raj Adhikary. At the same time, we request CIAA to summon Prof. Dr. Pushpa Raj Adhikary and find out from him whether such e-mail exists or not.
Nepotism and favouritism
The strongest case of Nepotism of Suresh Raj lies in exponential rate of promotion of Mukunda Prasad Upadhyay. Qualificationwise, Mukunda Upadhyay with 2nd division M.A. is not an worthy person to decorate the top most managerial position which should have gone to the academics. There have been many academics with better qualifications than Mr. Mukunda. As regards managerial skill, Mr. Mukunda can not speak properly and he takes long time to complete his sentences. His stammering has always put KU in embarassment in front of foreign visitors. Foreginers were always in awkward position while talking with him. And some of the visitors expressed their surprise how could such a person with a speech disability has been able to decorate the top managerial position where he has to negotiate, talk, motivate and encourage subordinates, colleagues and dignitaries with his spoken words. When they were told that he is the youngest brother of Suresh Raj, many of them blushed. Suresh Raj never blushes from his nepotism but the visitors blush. This is the sorry reality of KU because of Nepotism of Suresh Raj Sharma.
If nepotism in the form of Mukunda is to run day to day affairs while milking the holy cow KU, another serious nepotism practiced by Suresh Raj lies in control of KU. Recently, Suresh Raj has passed from the senate where he himself is declared the chief patron of KU. With KUPA agitation, Suresh Raj has foreseen that his days are numbered and becuase of his siding with king Gyanendra he may not be continued after expiry of this term. Sensing that KU is going out of his grip, he has managed to cajole the senate and appoint himself as the chief trustee/patron of KU. How and why KU senate made such a decision is really baffling. No senate should ever appoint someone whom it recommends as the someone who can constitute it. Suresh Raj is appointed VC at the recommendation of the senate. And now the senate is making its own recomendee its own recommender. This has been done in KU with some machinations. And to give some kind of balance to the senate, Suresh Raj has managed to romp in Daman Dhungana and Ramesh Dhungel both.
Irrespective of the presence of high profile names, CIAA needs to investigate how the KU senate has bestowed such a position to an acting VC who was appointed on its own recommendation. In course of its investigation, we believe that, CIAA will look at the corruption in KU from all possible angles. In addition to academic and financial corruption, Nepotism and favouritism have remained prominent tools of Suresh Raj, Sitaram and Bhadra Man in KU. For cleaning KU, CIAA needs to dwelve into all these aspects of corruption.
