Currently, I came to know that current officiating director has issued an order vide F-1-15(13)/2011/RGO/4578-99 dated 06.09.2011 to form new senate (Annexure-1) which is a violation of the NIPER act and statute with the following reasons:

1.  The first information of Senate NIPER (March 2009- March 2012) to its members was given in March followed by the 12^th Senate meeting in April 2009. 

2.  Officiating Director has terminated the existing senate before completion of its tenure of three years (March 2009 – March 2012), which is a violation of NIPER Act and Statutes as Senate is also a statutory body like BoG, Finance Committee etc. 

3.   As per NIPER Act section 13 and NIPER statute clause 3, there should be three persons from outside in Science, engineering and humanities and new senate will have 4 persons outside and one of them, Prof. H. S. Nigah is the previous member and also the yes man of current officiating director. 

4.  In the new senate, the representation of departments is not given rationally for example a) three faculties are from medicinal chemistry b) No faculty is from biotechnology department.

5.  While selecting associate and assistant professor, seniority has not been taken in consideration. For example, there is senior assistant professor than the selected assistant professor.

6. The senior professor from department of Pharmacology and toxicology has not been given the chance in the new senate who has not represented the senate; however there are few professors who are getting frequent chance for the same.

Thus, as a responsible employee of NIPER and responsible law abiding citizen of India, I humbly request you to look into the matter and enforce the conditions so that Institute should be run as per NIPER Act, Statute and ordinances.

How Senate was made when NIPER was not Sick!!

MINUTES OF 31ST MEETING OF BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF NIPER HELD ON 24/10/2000 AT 11.30 HOURS UNDER THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF DR R.A.ASHELKAR, DIRECTOR-GENERAL, NEW DELHI.

The 31st meeting of Board of Governors of NIPER was held on 24th October, 2000 at 11.30 hours in the Conference Room of NIPER, S.A.S.Nagar (Mohali) under the Chairmanship of Dr R.A.Mashelkar, Director-General, Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, New Delhi.

This list of participants is enclosed.

Dr R.A.Mashelkar, Chairman, Board of Governors while welcoming all the members to the 31st meeting observed that the attendance for this meeting was rather thin. He felt that there was a need for the participation of members not only from the field of Education, Research but also from industries, as their guidance will be very useful for the Institute. It was also felt that the date for the next meeting may be finalized immediately so that sufficient notice for the meeting can be given to all the members sufficiently in advance.

Sh. N.Sundaram, Secretary of the BOG circulated copies of Govt. of India,Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, Department of Chemicals & Petrochemicals (Finance Division) letter No.23(14)99-Fin. dated 20th October, 2000 which contained comments of the Finance Division on the agenda papers for the 31st meeting of Board of Governors of NIPER. The BOG took note of the same. Thereafter, the agenda items were considered in seriatim and the deliberations on the same are detailed.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

AGENDA ITEM NO.3 THE NOMINATION FOR THE SENATE AND VARIOUS COMMITTEE AS PER NIPER ACTS AND STATUS.

This agenda item as presented has been considered in the light of the fact that the draft statutes have already been perused by the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers and returned to the Institute. The Board approved the following nominations:

Senate

Clause (c) of Section 12(b) of NIPER Act.

1)            Prof. K.K.Bhutani

2)            Prof. P.Rama Rao

3)            Prof. Ramesh Panchagnula

4)           Prof. U.C.Banerjee

5)           Prof. Saranjit Singh

Under Clause (d) of Section 12(b) of NIPER Act.

1)          Prof. S.N.Sharma (Education)

2)         Prof. B.N.Goswami (Humanities)

3)        Prof. Kewal Singh (Engineering)

Under Clause (e) of Section 3.2.1 of Statutes:

1)       Dr A.K.Chakraborty

Under Clause (f) of Section 3.2.1 of Statutes:

1)       Dr B.Gopalakrishnan

The tenure of the Senate will be for a period of three years.


Thus constitution of current senate without board discussion/nod is highly questionable
