AIIMS acting chief bats for DD(A)
The Acting Director of AIIMS is making all efforts to ensure that his sponsored candidate, the institute's Deputy Director (Administration), procures his PhD degree. TD Dogra has personally written a letter to the Examination Section of the institute.
A copy has been sent to the Academic Committee meeting on Wednesday. In the letter, a copy of which is available with The Pioneer, Dogra not only defended DD(A) Shailesh Yadav and supported his candidature, but also pointed out bias in his interview procedure. He also mentioned that the attitude of two other interviewers Dr Sudhir Gupta and Dr RK Sharma was "biased, prejudiced and unfair" thereby also contending that Yadav's candidature was dismissed despite being able to perform "satisfactorily."
The Pioneer was the first to report that the issue involving institute's DD(A) Shailesh Yadav's selection for the aforementioned course has been referred to AC. The issue has now been finally put as Item No. 4 on the agenda of the committee. The comparison of Yadav's Masters Degree in "Ancient History Culture and Archeology" has been made to Forensic Archaeology. However, the two branches are not related. "Forensic Archeology is a different branch and more related to anthropology, which is a science. However, Ancient History Culture and Archeology is a branch of humanities and not science," a Delhi University history professor said.
Further, Yadav has also written a letter to Dogra in which he has asked the latter to examine the matter wherein he is being "defamed." Subsequently, Dogra had asked the Sub-Dean (Examination), Dr AK Dinda, to place the matter before next AC and initiate action. When contacted, Dr RK Sharma, Additional Professor of Forensic Medicine, said, "We are teachers of medicine in the premier institute of the country and uphold a high standard of ethics in medical practice. Dr Dogra is voluntarily making an attempt after almost a month of the incident to divert the primary issue of question paper leakage."
Dr Sudhir Gupta, Assistant Professor in the Department, added, "We have assessed Yadav from our department as an official duty assigned by Head of the Department, Dr Dogra. We cannot imagine ourselves to be biased or unfair as we have the responsibility to uphold the dignity of this institute." He also said that Dogra is manipulating things in order to satisfy his own selfish gains and ulterior motives.
