Jaipur : Major action has been taken against corruption in Maharani College, Jaipur. Maharani College Principal Nimali Singh has been suspended on Monday due to financial irregularities. The Registrar has issued orders on the orders of the Vice Chancellor. In her place, Payal Lodha has been appointed as the new Principal of Maharani College. Actually, under the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) 2.0, the Home Science Department had received Rs 1 crore 83 lakh in November 2021. With this amount, the department had organized an international conference in March last year. Professor Nimali Singh was its organizing secretary. Many questions were raised on the expenditure incurred in this programme.
15 lakhs were spent on the event. In these, questions were raised on the mementos and sarees given to the guests. There were allegations that the bills given were also half incomplete. It was said that Nimali Singh had spent this to oblige her close ones. Then he said that I have spent as per the rules. If any expense seems unreasonable, I am ready to pay. Now in the order issued by the university, it has been said that he will be suspended on charges of financial irregularities.
Nimali Singh said- a conspiracy was hatched against me
Professor Nimali Singh termed this action taken by the university administration as completely wrong. He said that a conspiracy has been hatched against me. He said that the bill in dispute has not been paid. How is the audit being conducted without payment and how is action being taken on the objections? He said- The university administration had sought an answer from me. I had replied to them. Vice Chancellor Alpana Kateja wants to remove me from my post. That’s why he has taken this action.
Vice Chancellor of the University said – No one is above the rules of the University
Rajasthan University Vice Chancellor Alpana Kateja said- The administration does not take action on the basis of personal hatred. Many investigations are going on against him. There are allegations of not attending classes, forging signatures, misusing his position and misappropriation in the amount of RUSA. No one is above the rules of the university. Whatever goes wrong, action will be taken.
