Sibal praises technical education council
May 20th, 2010 - 9:15 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, May 20 (IANS) Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal Thursday praised the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) for introducing transparency in its practices.
“AICTE has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. I was getting complaints against AICTE earlier, but during the past two months we have received no complaints,” Sibal said at a function here.
“The AICTE has brought transformation from inspector raj to a regime of self-disclosure,” he said.
AICTE is a statuary body which oversees technical education in the country. It was recently under the scanner after many of its officials, including chairman R.A. Yadav, were involved in corruption cases.
The Central Bureau of Investigation has so far registered 42 cases against engineering colleges for “illegally” obtaining permission from AICTE without having sufficient infrastructure.
