3. / RJ-1256 / A.P.S. Shikshan Prashikshan Mahavidyalaya, B-173-174, Vinobha Bhave Nagar, Nursery Circle, Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur, Rajasthan / B.Ed. / This institution vide its letter dated 15.6.11 replied to the Show Cause Notice dated 3.6.2011. The institution termed the issue of Show Cause Notice as contemptuous inter alia on following grounds.
i. The application was rejected only on the ground of land being on lease for less than 30 years and hence no other ground can be taken at this stage.
2.The contention of the institution that the application of the institution was refused only on one ground, and therefore no other reason can be cited in the Show Cause Notice now cannot be accepted; as the NRC was entitled to issue Show Cause Notice, even after formal recognition, in case it was found that the institution was violating any of the Regulation/Norms of NCTE. In this case the NRC did not go into merits of the case, once it found that the institution was not even eligible to apply . The Appellate Authority, in its order, however did mention many other discrepancies in the institution’s application, which were not in accordance with the Regulation. As such, NRC was totally under its jurisdiction to issue the Show Cause Notice and the action was in accordance with the orders of the Hon’ble High Court of Jaipur which directed that the ‘application be examined afresh; in accordance with the law.
As such, the reply of the institution to the Show Cause Notice be submitted to the Appellate Authority for further consideration, as per decision taken in the NRC’s Meeting dated April 20-22, 2011.
4. / RJ-763 / Seth Moti Lal Teachers Education College, Jhunjhunu, In front of Rani Sati Mandir, Jhunjhunu-330001, Rajasthan / B.Ed. / The reply of the institution dated 4.7.2011 w.r.to the Show Cause Notice dated 7.6.2011 has been considered, and has not been found satisfactory on the following grounds:
i. The institution’s recognition was withdrawn on 8.2.2010 on the basis of a complaint forwarded by NCTE Hqrs. on 26.11.2007. Another complaint was forwarded by Central Vigilance Commission on 2.11.2007. The complaints were essentially about conducting the course in violation of the NCTE Regulations/Norms. The inspection of the institution was considered on 10.06.2009 under section 17 of the NCTE Act 1993 and it was on the basis of the inspection that recognition of the institution was withdrawn on 8.2.2010. The Hon’ble High Court of Delhi, however, set aside the order, on the consideration that the withdrawal order was not speaking. Hence, fresh Show Cause Notice was issued.
ii. In its reply to the Show Cause Notice institution has tried to assure that its laboratories, library are as per NCTE Norms. However, the documents submitted regarding purchase of equipments are for ET labs. dated 11.11.2009, 10.6.2010, 23.6.2011. Similarly, purchase for psychology lab are dated 20.6.2011, 28.7.09 and for language lab are totally undated. The corresponding entries in the Stock Register for these equipment were also totally undated.
iii. Bulk of purchases in the library are on 2.6.2011, 25.7.2009. The institution did produce photocopies of the Accession Register but then it does not convey anything about the books available in the library, as purchased from time to time with details of entry in the Accession Register.
iv. The reply of the institution regarding appointment of Faculty/Staff is thoroughly unsatisfactory, as it failed to clearly establish that it continued to have required staff as per norms, ever since recognition was given to the course. The fresh Selection Committee held in June 2011 and initiation of process of obtaining approval of the University at this stage is not relevant to the case. Rather it , establishes the fact that the institution has been conducting its B.Ed. and B.S.T.C Courses, without adequate Faculty and their proper appointment with the approval of the University. Approval of the University for the fresh appointments in June 2011 is yet to be received.
As such NRC decided that a show cause notice be issued to the institution under section 17 of the NCTE Act 1993 as to why recognition, to the institution for the B.Ed. and B.S.T.C course may not be withdrawn from the forthcoming academic session, on the above grounds.
5. / RJ-1705 / Kanhaiya Lal Agarwal Memorial College, Near RAC Line, Sarmathura, Beseri, Dholpur-328026, Rajasthan / B.Ed. / The institution on 15.06.2011, submitted a fresh application on the ground that its earlier application dated 31.12.2007 was refused and its application needs to be considered in the light of the judgment made by Hon’ble Court on 30.5.2011.
2.The matter has been examined, the case of the institution is not similar to other cases on the following grounds:
i. The institution has not given any details about its earlier application, particularly a copy of the letter through which its application was returned by NRC, as in case of other institution.
ii. The institution has not given any document to establish that it at all submitted an application for B.Ed. course earlier.
iii. The relevance of many documents related to appointment of Faculty has not been understood, as there is no paper to suggest that any letter was issued by NRC to this institution .
iv. The institution did not submit the required fee and other relevant documents related to built up area, CLU etc.
Hence, the application was liable to be summarily rejected. However NRC decided a Show Cause Notice to the institution be issued on the the above grounds.
6. / RJ-2206 / Rao Sandeep T. T. College, Plot No.578/58, Near Govt. Sr. Sec. School, College Road, Village-Ekrotia, Tehsil-Kotkasim, Alwar-301702, Rajasthan / B.Ed. / 1.

2. The matter has been examined, the case of the institution is similar to those covered under the Hon’ble Court in Dau Baba T. T. College. V.S. NCTE (D.B. Civil Spl. Appeal 890/2009).
