Key Points:

JAMSHEDPUR – Kolhan University’s affiliated colleges struggle with severe financial constraints as contingency and examination funds remain blocked.

The situation affects laboratory practicals severely. Colleges cannot purchase essential chemicals.

Moreover, student-paid fees remain unutilized. The university hasn’t allocated these collected amounts.

Meanwhile, administrative paralysis grips the institution. Regular operations face major hurdles.

Leadership Vacuum

The university lacks permanent leadership. This affects routine decision-making processes.

Furthermore, even basic administrative tasks remain pending. Officials await directions from Raj Bhavan.

“Simple fund allocation requires no special permission,” stated a university insider.

Financial Impact

Each college should receive contingency funds annually. The amount varies with student strength.

Moreover, examination funds show huge backlogs. Some colleges await up to Rs 8 lakh.

Operational Challenges

Practical sessions suffer immensely. Students face difficulties in laboratory work.

Meanwhile, teachers struggle to maintain quality. They lack essential teaching resources.

Furthermore, this crisis appears unprecedented. It affects both academic and administrative functions.
