HRD Minister said the Director was forced to resign under pressure, and that such a resignation was not acceptable.
27th Mar, 2010: Three days after Y V Rao, the Director of the National Intitute Of Technology (NIT), Warangal, resigned as a result of student agitations that began on Monday this week, the Minister of State for Human Resource Development (Higher Education) Daggubati Purandeswari refused to acknowledge the resignation.
Requesting Y V Rao to take a leave for a while, she said the Director was forced to resign under pressure, and that such a resignation was not acceptable. She also said that the government will take a stance on the matter after all records are analysed.
Y V Rao had been officiating as NIT Director for the past 4 years, and is facing several allegations, including those of corruption and of irregularities in the administration. He was also accused of filing ragging cases against students from the Telangana region.
Students then resorted to mass protests, demanding that Rao, along with in-charge registrar ASP Rao, resign.
