Times of India: Kurukshetra: Friday, 05 September 2014.
Using information obtained under the RTI Act, teachers of National Institute of Technology (NIT), Kurukshetra have accused its director of appointing his son-in-law, in violation of eligibility norms.
Releasing a whitepaper in this regard on Thursday, they alleged that NIT director Prof Anand Mohan had appointed his son-in-law as an assistant professor, though he did not fulfill the minimum qualification.
They also sent the whitepaper to Union HRD minister, claiming that they had sufficient evidence to prove their allegation.
When contacted, NIT public relations officer P J Philip said they had not received the copy of whitepaper and that it would be passed on to the director, who was in Delhi.
