The maverick director of the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Warangal, Mr YV Rao who signed his signature on a blank paper yesterday and handed it over to the students saying that it is his resignation letter has changed his tune.
Yesterday night he got admitted to a hospital in Hanmakonda with high BP. Then speaking to the media from his bed he said that he didn't resign from his post and signed on his resignation letter because the students refused to let him go outside the auditorium when the discussion was taking place of his irregularities.
The students have been complaining about the steep and unilateral increase in fees, absence of toilets for girl students on the campus, poor quality of food being served at the hostels and severe shortage of drinking water.
The internal bickering has been brewing for a long time with teaching, non-teaching and students frustrated with themanagement of the Director and Registrar. The present state of affairs is unprecedented in the institution, acclaimed all over the country for being the first Regional Engineering College known for its quality of education. Senior facultymembers feared that reputed companies would back out from campus recruitment because of the alleged financial scandal.
