On March 30 2012 DR. JANARDHAN WAGHMARE asked Minister of CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS whether serious allegations of corruption has been made on the website Blog “Biped against Corruption” on the financial and management lapses at National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER), Mohali and what action Govt. taken about it. Purebred by the issue, four members of BOG called a requisitioned meeting under the clause 3.1.3 (b) on 28th May, citing the Rajya Sabha question No 1912 and mentioning breakdown of system and procedure at NIPER Mohali. 25 plus specific questions of BOG members related to Financial and Administrative lapses of officiating director K. K. Bhutani were submitted to the Chairman BOG well in advance.However instead of answering the question officiating director K. K. Bhutani submitted six pages of emotional fib. The only defense he could put up "three tented faculty members defaming NIPER globally.

29 June 2012
Dear Dr. Katoch,
I am in receipt of your letter no. Secy(DHR)/BoG/NIPER/2012 dated 21.06.2012 informing the postponement of the Requisition Meeting under para 3.1.3(b) of the NIPER Statute requested on 28th May 2012. I can understand that due to pre-occupation, the Requisition Meeting is scheduled to be postponed and the new date fixed is 21st July, 2012.
The essence of requisition is not fulfilled as per the Act in case of delay and the purpose of extra ordinary meeting is lost. In continuation of my earlier letter dated 17.05.2012. I further emphasize that both writer of the blog should be called in the meeting to present and authenticate the articles published in the blog. Moreover both writer of the blog and responsible persons of Niper administration should be asked to make/reply to charges backed by affidavit along with pre- resignation letters, if any statement is found false, so that the exercise of the BOG becomes an authentic document for the disposal by the Board maintaining neutrality and objectivity.
Please ensure that the background papers, along with certified supporting documents by NIPER Administration are made available to the BOG Members at least seven days in advance before the schedule of Meeting on 21st July, 2012.
GUIDING FACTORS:
Administrative Allegations:
1. NIPER BOG has statutory powers to adjudicate upon grievances of the employees of the institute under clause 3.1.2.(j) reproduced below:
“3.1.2 Functional Powers of the Board: (j) to entertain, adjudicate upon and if thought fit, to redress any grievance of the employees of the institute.”
2. Para 19 of the judgment CIVIL APPEAL NO. 1272 OF 2011,
“Therefore, it is a settled legal proposition that no person can be appointed even on a temporary or ad hoc basis without inviting applications from all eligible candidate. If any appointment is made by merely inviting names from the Employment Exchange or putting a note on the Notice Board etc, that will not meet the requirement of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution. Such a course violates the mandates of Articles 14 & 16 of the Constitution of India as it deprives the candidates who are eligible for the post, from being considered. A person employed in violation of these provisions is not entitled to any relief including salary. For a valid and legal appointment mandatory compliance of the said Constitutional requirement is to be fulfilled. The equality clause enshrined in Article 16 requires that every such appointment be made by an open advertisement as to enable all eligible persons to compete on merit.”,
3. Clause no. 10 of NIPER act is the Guiding principle of teaching as reproduced bellow:
“All teaching at the institute shall be conducted by or in the name of the institute in accordance with the statutes and the Ordinance made in this behalf.”

Corrupt CVO, DoP initiated
inquiry of whistle blower based on anonymous letter
An
undated anonymous letter written by NIPER stuff members (read GANG OF FOUR)
written to "The Honorable President of India" New Delhi on the
subject: Detonation of academic environment at National Institute of
Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER), SAS Nagar (Mohali) Punjab
Corrupt IAS officer ordered inquiry based on anonymous letter. Despite of the
clear guide line fron CVC how to deal with anonymous pseudonymous letters and
Joint secretary Department of Pharmaceutical Arun Jha, IAS ordered inquiry
against whistle blower Dr. Nilanjan Roy, Associate professor of NIPER. Though
the undated anonymous letter written by NIPER staff complained about Mr.
Lalit Kumar Jain, Member NIPER Board of Governors as well as Finance
committee and officiating Director K. K. Bhutani, regarding funneling out
huge sums of money only Nilanjan Roy is singled out by Joint secretory
Department of Pharma-ceutical Arun Jha, IAS

Charges against Dr. Nilanjan
Roy based on which dismissal is ordered.
Based
on the fictitious inquiry report conducted by prejudiced inquiry officer,
current officiating director imposed penalty of dismissal from service vide
order no F.1-16(8)/2011/Estt./343 Dated 20/04/2012 and withdrawal of facility
by subsequent office order no F.1-16(8)/2011/Estt./323 Dated 20/04/2012 with
immediate effect.
Punishment
imposed by officiating director on Dr. Roy is ridiculous to the charges
fabricated. Dismissal generally ordered for gravest of the grave act like dowry
death, rape or disproportionate asset worth crores of rupees.

Laurels
of Officiating director @NIPER in 2011
Any
officiating Director cannot hold the office for more than one year, as per
“Not exceeding a total period of one year” provision of NIPER STATUTES.
Current officiating director started office on 01.01.2010 thus his term was
over on 01.01 2011. After that he is clinging to the chair illegally.
Though the present officiating director failed to get any order/direction
supporting his current status from BOG/Visitor he managed to get the
following six laurels for NIPER since April 2011 few more are in pipe line.

@NIPER Recruitment of Medical Officer without advertisement,
Medical
Officer recruited @NIPER without advertisement
A
gynecologist is recruited for approximately 550 male students and 100 female
students putting medical need of students in jeopardy. Officer recruited
without advertisement is wife of Officiating director’s friend, thus a clear
case of nepotism. Remuneration paid is Rs 10000 per month for five hour a week
which is substantially higher then what is paid to the previous doctor.

Registrar
NIPER illegal appointment challenged in High Court of Punjab & Haryana
High
Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh has taken cognizance of the
serious irregularities and illegalities relating to selection of a favored
candidate by the Officiating Director to post of Registrar, NIPER, results of
the selection committee for the same held on 9-6-2011 and issued notice of
motion. Wing Cdr PJP Singh Waraich (Retd.) does not meet the requisite
qualifications of eligibility for the post of Registrar at NIPER, Mohali.
Officiating Director made his selection deliberately though officiating
Director was not competent authority to approve the appointment of registrar.
This act of officiating Director amounts to ‘denial of opportunity’ to
genuinely deserving candidates besides leading to ‘nepotism’. (angle of
economics is also in rumors).

Bleak
placement record of NIPER Mohali raises many question
Enhance
availability of skilled man power? The placement record appended tells
a very different story. It is learnt that the following placement record
raised many eyebrows in the recent BOG meeting. Corruption in NIPER is wide
spread and gone beyond NIPER. CAG
warning fallen into deaf ear; CAG unearthed shoddy state of education @NIPER.
Money spent on construction of
many white elephants and unused facilities.
Laboratory space crunch deprive students to get hands on training for which
NIPER was famous once upon a time. In an average 30% is placed what
happened to majority? Per capita expenditure is much more compared to any
university (UIPS?) With this placement record do we really need more.................?

Adulterated
admission, wrong degree, where is Institute of national Importance heading ??
With
all established procedure and clause, NIPER S.A.S Nagar has fixed the NIPER
PhD SEATS for their students (working in the projects) who do not have their
category as sponsored candidate as they do not have experience of two years
as per clause # 4 at page 6 of information brochure. Apart from this, I can
say about the department of Pharmaceutics where NIPER has mentioned one seat
and fixed/reserved three seat so that they hire their desired candidate
ignoring the rules and regulation of their own examination as given below:
1.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX (Reg # 1000456; Joined in DST project on 10/05/2011 which is
sanctioned for 2006-2011, No extension/ sanction for further duration, Kindly

3.

Inbreeding
making NIPER Sick? Scam (NIPER PhD entrance 2011)
from
the result It seems that
1.
All the candidates qualified (Pharmaceutics) are from one center ie
Chandigarh
2.
No candidate (Pharmaceutics) from other centers (Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad)
3.
All the candidates appeared in Exam (Pharmaceutics) from NIPER have
qualified
for Interview.
4.
All candidates selected are in the serial of appearing candidates
list.(first
21 candidates of Pharmaceutical Sciences)
5.
There is no information regarding the number of sponsor seats (What
%
of seats are for sponsored candidates)
6.
There is no information regarding the reserved seats for NIPER candidates
Possibilities
of this
1.
Either the Examinations Question paper is known to NIPER students
2.
Mass cheating at the examination center.
3.
Favor by the exam department to NIPER students

Problem of Governance @NIPER
Take Three
More
agony of intellectual elites of this country,
Dear
Dr. Mashelkar
I
have just seen the news that you have resigned as Chairman, NIPER. What
happened to the Banerjee inquiry Report? If a plagiarist gets away due to
maladministration or a biased committee of experts, SSV will not keep quiet
and will hold all involved responsible for the miscarriage of justice. Please
help us to see that the guilty gets exposed.
Best
wishes
Prof.
K.L. Chopra Ex-Director, IIT, Kharagpur
On
Friday November 23 2007 16:31 Dr. Raghunath Anant Mashelkar, ex-DG CSIR
& Ex-Chairman BOG replied, with a cc to dstsec@nic.in
My
Dear Chopra Ji,
There
were some ethical issues that were bothering me.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Incidentally,
no one had raised a question, but I did this on my own.
The
bitter experience of the early part of the year has converted this ‘innocent
boy’ called Mashelkar into a ‘wise man’
I
am not happy with the committee absolving Banerjee despite the blatant
violation. I have sent the extra evidence also to them after the submission
of the report.
It is up to Director (NIPER)
and the new Chairman, Dr. Ramasami, to handle the matter.
His
successor, Chairman BOG, NIPER Dr. T. Ramasami, Secretary Covt. of
India, Ministry of science and Technology wrote,
Dear
Prof. Rama Rao,
I
enclosed a copy of the mails received from Dr. R. A. Masalkar. The matter is
self-explanatory. Kindly advice. Let us strategise. Our action and plans such
that the NIPER stayed out of controversy
Kindest
