The scam in imparting training to teachers is serious enough to attract the attention of the law. Prior to 2002 DIET had the sole permission to conduct the courses, then suddenly flood gates were opened for private institutions, ignoring every set guideline of National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) as well as state norms and standards. What transpired afterwards is an unbelievable scam to the extent that institutes had no infrastructure to conduct classes, no students, and no hostels, it was just a nexus of giving money and taking diplomas. How these institutes got NOCs, who issued the letters and under what set of rules, are still mysteries to be resolved. All this went on for years and no official objection is there on the record.
The report of the committee was just put in the dustbin, it just went on and on till some PIL was filed in HC and subsequently the case was handed over to Crime Branch Jammu. What followed up is another shocking shoddy investigation to the extent that Anti Corruption Judge has to put serious observations, declined to frame charges and returned the case for proper investigation. Crime Branch has failed to unravel the plot, selective investigation, total silence on institutes and officials nexus, no investigation on how these institutes got the NOC in the first itself, the role of Chairman and Ministers after the year 2002. It seems, in reality, a Ponzi education scam was going on and after years of investigation there are no accused. Crime Branch has been caught on the wrong foot in this case and as such a serious question mark on its handling of this case. LG Administration has already taken a serious view of the various court observations of the past and necessary instructions had been given as such after this Court Order corrective action is much required in this case also. Responsibility-accountability has to be fixed, all culprits must be booked and justice is delivered without further delay.
