In response to criticisms of the IFC CPM student wing of the order called draconian, said Education Minister Bratya Basu on Thursday, "We have been through a series of acts in vogue elsewhere and shaped our result. It includes Jawaharlal Nehru University and the University of Delhi, the IFC has a strong presence. These organizations have never raised his voice against the lack of student representatives on governing bodies. Why Left prominent leaders Prakash Karat and Sitaram Yechury silent on the absence of representatives of students in JNU? This is because they are also aware that students have little role to play in university administration. "

New provisions on arms control of the university to seek removal of vice chancellors. The state government has already mapped out the decisions of the universities during the leftist government, and sent a report to the Chancellor against certain current and former vice-chancellors. Step was to keep the VC under leash.

"The government has already submitted an inspection report to the Governor MK Narayanan, who is also chancellor of the university. If irregularities are found, the reports will be forwarded to the previous V-Cs. We can also recommend the establishment of a commission to investigate the matter, "said Basu.

The new order was to eliminate Dalatantra (hegemony of the party) that have been prevalent on campus in 34 years. Calling it a historic decree, the Minister said: "We tried to stop Dalatantra in education. Accordance with Directive Chief Minister, we have developed an opinion. From now, academics have an impact on university management, "says Basu.

The ruling will have little opportunity to intervene in the daily management of universities. "The new law gives more power to the Vice Presidents. Previously, even the heads of departments were not aware of new appointments in their departments. It is not acceptable," said West Bengal higher education, the President of the Council, Sugata Marjit.
