Whereas the Trustee (“Donee”) has already taken Physical possession and enjoyment of the property by the way of Lease Deed registered on 22.12.2005.

The SRC in its 243rd meeting held on 29th- 30th April 2013 reviewed the duly scrutinized above new application received by Southern Regional Office, NCTE for the Session 2013-14. Accordingly, the above application, which suffer from basic infirmities, is summarily rejected as per 7 (1–A (i)) of NCTE Regulations 2009.

• The institution has not paid the processing fee into a Nationalised Bank as per NCTE Regulations 2009. The institution has paid the fee into a non-Nationalised Bank.

As per NCTE 2009 regulations states as under for Processing fee: “For processing of an application for grant of recognition to an institution to conduct a teacher education programme or addition to programme or intake in the existing programme, the processing fee as prescribed under the Rule 9 of the National Council for Teacher Education Rules, 1997 as amended from time to time, shall be paid by the applicant, payable in the form of a demand draft of any Nationalised Bank drawn in favour of the Member Secretary, National Council for Teacher Education payable at the city where the office of the Regional Committee concerned is situated”.

So far as the second ground of rejection i.e., the subject land is not in the name of the institution may not be correct. Since the original lease agreement in respect of the subject t land which was under lease was duly cancelled by a cancellation deed dated 18.08.2011 Gift Deed has been executed gifting the said lands in favour of the petitioner’s trust and registered as document No. 7573 of 2011 in the SRO, Omalur. Whereas the online application is submitted on 27.12.2012 after the registration of the gift deed. Hence as on the date of the online application the petitioner was having ownership over the subject property. Hence in my opinion the said second ground may not be correct.

The Committee considered the Letter dated 07/12/2013 from Shri Ramakrishna Reddy, Advocate, decided and advised Southern Regional Office to reopen the case as advised by the Lawyer and process urgently.

and also the relevant documents of the institution and decided to withdraw recognition for the following reasons:-

• The Sy.No. 257/1 measuring 3 acres mentioned in the land document not reflected in any of the documents viz. Affidavit, Building plan , building completion certificate and encumbrance certificate.

• In the building plan submitted, Sy.Nos. are not mentioned, land area is building plan is not tallying with land area mentioned in affidavit. Land area in building plan is overwritten, without any attestation from competent authority.

• Original building completion certificate from competent Govt. engineer is not submitted. BCC submitted is in individual name.

• Encumbrance certificate is in individual name, notarized English version of encumbrance, and up-to-date encumbrance certificate not submitted, further submitted encumbrance is only up to 01.06.2011.

• Staff approval from affiliating university is not submitted.

• Lecturer in Fine Arts and Physical Education are not available/appointed.

Based on the above points the committee decides to withdraw the recognition of the B.Ed course run by the Siddartha College of Education, Kale Complex, Bus Stand Road, Jamkhandi, Bagalkot District, Karnataka, from the academic year 2012-13 in order to enable the ongoing batch of students in B.Ed, course, if any, to complete their course. It was made clear that the institution was debarred from making any further admission subsequent to the date of issue of this order. The Affiliating body / Examining board / body were informed accordingly. It was also decided to return Endowment funds and Reserve fund deposited with SRC NCTE, Bangalore. Accordingly, withdrawal order was issued to the institution vide No. APS03745-B.Ed./KA/ 2012-2013/43632 dated 09.07.2012. A letter was received from the Advocate Sri. Ashok Harnahalli on 1.11.2012 regarding W.P.No.43989 of 2012 filed by Siddartha College of Education, Jamkhandi, Karnataka. He has stated that the above writ petition came up for consideration before the Court today for preliminary hearing on 10.10.2012. The petition was heard at length. The court observed that recognition is withdrawn on technical grounds and without considering the documents produced by the petitioner. However, the court was pleased to observe that the SRC is at liberty to conduct inspection to find out whether there are any other deficiencies.

Further, on 19.11.2012, an order passed in W.P.No.43989/2012(EDN-RES) dated 30.10.2012 is received by this office from the Principal of the institution along with a certified copy of the Order dated 30.10.2012. A letter dated 17.11.2012 issued by the Special Officer, Govt. of Karnataka, Centralised Admission Cell, K.G. Road, Bangalore addressed to this office requesting permission to admit candidates to the B.Ed. course for the year 2012-13 is also enclosed along with the letter.

The order stated that

“6.Perused the various annexures produced by the petitioner in the petition with regard to infrastructure, availability of staff, completion of

the building certificate issued by the Corporation Engineer and extra land is also very much available. The collee has commenced since 205. Surprisingly, the respondent authority is shown to have withdrawn the recognition in an arbitrary manner without considering the documents which are produced by the institution- may be for the reason that without understanding the documents which do provide the details sought for by the first respondent in a different manner, the first respondent has passed the impugned order. It is also seen, the State Government has also allotted 35 students from the CET to be admitted to the institution of the petitioner. The first respondent ought to have taken care of the situation by way of correspondence before passing an order withdrawal of recognition. Prima facie it appears all the requirements are shown to have been complied with by the petitioner. However, mechanically, the first respondent proceeded to pass the impugned order at Annexure-J which cannot be sustained, as the major deficiency as pointed out by the first respondent appears to be not genuine as the infrastructure like building and extension area and qualified lecturers are shown to have been complied with. The first respondent can hold one more inspection for compliance of the deficiencyif any. It may not be appropriate to withdraw the recognition in the manner in which the first respondent has passed the order after having allowed the institution to run for seven years from its commencement only pointing out certain irregularities.

7. Hence, the order withdrawing granted to the petitioner institution

to run B.Ed. course is hereby quashed. Further, the first respondent is directed to accord recognition to the petitioner institution at the earliest. However, in the meanwhile, minor deficiencies, if any be complied by the petitioner.”

In the above W.P. No.43989/2012, SRC, NCTE is the first

respondent and NCTE, New Delhi is the 2nd respondent. In the meanwhile, aggrieved by the withdrawal order, the

institution had approached appellate authority and the original file has been sent to the appellate authority vide this office letter F. No.HQ/APS03745-B.Ed./KA/2012-13/46467 dated 28.9.2012.

The decision of appellate authority and the original file of the

institution has not been received by this office so far. Hence, the above matter along with the Court order dated

30.10.2012 and the request of the institution to accord recognition and to permit/direct the special officer Centralized Admission Cell, Bangalore to allot remaining 14 students who have been already admitted to the institution by virtue of the order passed by the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka was placed before 235th meeting of SRC held on 21st and 22nd November, 2012 wherein the SRC decided to apply for stay and file an appeal.

As per the decision of 235th meeting of SRC, letters were addressed to the advocate for filing appeal and apply for stay to the Court order dated 30.10.2012 vide this office letters dated 29.11.2012, 27.12.2012, 23.1.2013, 23.4.2013 and 1.6.2013.

Ramakrishna Reddy, Advocate in its letter dated 4.6.2011 stated that in the above matter by order dated 6.4.2011, the Hon’ble High Court has upheld the action of the NCTE. The only direction given to the petitioner is to submit fresh application after complying with the necessary requirements. The institution can submit fresh application by satisfying all the requirements as per the norms existing as on to-day. If such application is submitted and complied with all the requirements, you can consider and pass necessary orders or you can reject the application.

The date of application is immaterial only law existing on the date of disposal shall apply. The SRC in its 206th meeting held on 09-10 June 2011 noted the points and decided to inform the Head Quarters about the legal opinion of the Advocate; with a request for further direction in the matter.

At the time of my final practice teaching in the Chandra Public School, the principal asked me to sign on a paper while I was taking class. I have done a signature on a paper without reading the content as it was my final teaching class. Now they demand Rs. 20,000/- for taking marks card and I told them that my father is a railway hawker and it was impossible for me to

7.11.2013. This office has received court order in W.P.No. 26127 of 2013 filed by the above said institution. The Hon’ble court has ordered as follows “…..At the hearing, it has come out that the academic year 2012-13, for which the petitioners made application, has already expired and the new academic year 2013-14 is scheduled to commence in a month or two. The counter affidavit has referred to the judgment of the Apex Court in Maa Vaishno Devi Mahila Mahavidyalaya v. State of Uttar Pradesh & Others in support of the plea that no recognition for the year 2012-14 can be granted, as the cut off date, namely, 03.03.2013 for recognition has already been crossed. In my opinion, the said judgment applies to the cases where recognitions are to be granted in ordinary course of things. In the present case, on account of the highly unreasonable and arbitrary conduct of respondent no. 2, the petitioners have been deprived of one academic year. Had respondent no. 2 complied with the appellate order at the earliest the petitioners would have been granted recognition on or before the cut off date. The petitioners cannot be put to sufferance due to the reasons, which are solely attributable to respondent no 2. Therefore, in the facts and circumstances of the present case, it could be grave travesty of justice if the petitioners are not permitted to start the course during the academic year 2013-14. As there is still adequate time left for respondent no. 2 for completion of the formalities, this court is inclined to accept the plea of the petitioners for giving appropriate directions to respondent no. 2 to enable them to commence the course in the academic year 2013-14. In the result, the impugned order of respondent no. 2(SRC-NCTE) is quashed and the writ petition is accordingly allowed with costs of Rs. 10,000/- against respondent no. 2. Respondent no. 2 is directed to forthwith consider the application of petitioner no. 1 made for the academic year 2012-13 for grant of recognition for the academic year 2013-14 by ignoring the reasons on which its application was rejected. Respondent no. 2 shall depute an inspection team and, after completing all the formalities, it shall complete the process of granting recognition to the petitioners before the process of counseling is commenced for the academic year 2013-14. As a sequel, WPMP no. 32284 of 2013 filed by the petitioners for interim relief shall stand disposed of as infructuous”. A letter has been received from NCTE-Hqrs., on 16.12.2013 directed as follows; a) The petitioner has not exhausted the alternative remedy of appeal available u/s 18 of NCTE Act, 1993 and approached directly to the Hon’ble Court. b) The institution cannot be granted recognition for the academic session 2013-14 at this juncture under any circumstances, as directed by the Hon’ble Court, in the light of the time schedule fixed by the Apex Court in the matter of Maa Vaishno Devi Mahavidyalaya and ors.

c) The Hon’ble Court in the matter of Adarsh Shiksha Mahavidyalaya v. subbash Rahangdale, (2012) 2 SCC 425, in para 87 inter-alia held the following: “87(i) The Regional Committees established under section 20 of the 1993 Act are duly bound to ensure that no private institution offering or intending to offer a course of training in teacher education is granted recognition unless it satisfies the conditions specified in Section 14(3)(a) of the 1993 Act and Regulations 7 and 8 of the Regulations. Likewise, no recognized institution intending to start any new course or training in teacher education shall be granted permission unless it satisfied the conditions specified in Section 15(3)(a) of the Act and the relevant Regulations.” It is also requested Regional Director, SRC to file a Letter Patent Appeal(LPA)/Writ Appeal against the above order immediately. Accordingly, a letter was sent to the advocate on 17.12.2013. The Committee considered the matter, letter dated 16/12/2013 from NCTE (H'qrs) New Delhi and decided to remind the Lawyer to file an appeal and obtain stay. The matter to be pursued with the lawyer.

they have constrained to state that there is no useful purpose which might be served by our repeating and reiterating the firm stand which has already been taken by us in the replies which have hither to been submitted by us response to the repeated notice that have been already issued to us. Therefore, they hereby state that what has already been exhaustively stated in the earlier replies would hold good as reply to the notice cited at reference No. (I) as well. However what is additionally to be stated and is “Final Showcase Notice” notice dated 27.06.2011 has made an unjust inroad into and interference with the pendency to which has been well within your Knowledge. Therefore, without any kind of prejudice to our Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 read with Article 215 of the Constitution of India, bringing to the notice of the said court the chronology of events which have succeeded at your end during the pendency of the aforementioned writ petitions and requesting the Hon’ble High Court to initiate appropriate action under the said provision, suomotto we state that any further adverse action if any that might be resorted to against us under or in pursuance of the “Final Showcase Notice” under reference would be virtually to be a perpetuation of the gross criminal contempt of the Hon’ble High Court advisedly, they , therefore, refrain from commenting on the merits and contents of this reply, stating further that there is neither justification nor warrant nor even any basis for proceeding against us as has been threatened in the notice under reference.

Since the matter is directly and substantially in issue before the Hon’ble High Court, any precipitating adverse action against us they therefore, refrain from commenting on the merits and contents of the Final Show cause Notice dated 27.06.2011 in this reply, stating further that there is neither justification nor warrant nor even any basis for proceeding against us as has been threatened in the notice under reference.

Since the matter is directly and substantially in issue before the Hon’ble High Court, any precipitating adverse action against us would be a further into the high seized of the matter, in the aforementioned petitions.”

The SRC in its 210th meeting held on 22 and 23 August, 2011 has taken note of the reply of the institution dated 27.07.2011 to the Final show cause notice issued to the institution and considered the VT report and other relevant documents and in view of the specific deficiencies pointed out in the final show cause notice are found to be substantive and still remaining unrefuted/unanswered, it was decided that the recognition of the institution be withdrawn, on the following grounds:-



Library can accommodate only 10 students and has only 1500 books related to Education which is less than the required as per NCTE norms.

Equipment provided in the Science lab. is insufficient for two courses. The storage and display facilities are not available in the Science lab.

Equipment in ET lab. are inadequate

Class rooms and lab. facilities are inadequate for organizing two teacher education programmes(B.Ed. and D.Ed.)

The staff appointed for teaching B.Ed. methodology are not qualified as per NCTE norms.

It was also decided that a legal opinion be obtained on the alleged criminal contempt of Court, as being threatened by the institution.

As per the decision of SRC, a draft letter was addressed to the Advocate seeking for legal opinion before the issue of withdrawal order on 13.9.2011.

The file has been returned from the office of the advocate without legal opinion and without covering letter of the Advocate. Hence, a reminder letter was addressed seeking for legal opinion on 7.9.2012.

A Legal opinion is received from Sri. Ashok Haranahalli on 12.9.2012. The legal opinion is provided as under:- “In conclusion of the forgoing discussion, I opine that, the NCTE, SRC may not be liable to contempt for any orders if it is in accordance with the law. The direction in W.P.No.21133/2010 disposed of vide order dated 19.1.2011 in evidently directs the SRC, NCTE to consider the objections/explanations of the institute and to pass orders thereon. The solitary ground noted by the hon’ble Court in its order is that the institute was not given a chance to put forth its contentions hence, the impugned order suffers from vice of violation of principles of natural justice. The pendency of the W.P.No.16680-82/2011 before the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka, Bangalore, challenging the final show cause notice dated 25.3.2011 may not be a bar, as it appears that no interim relief of stay of final show cause notice is allowed by the court. In absence of stay, the NCTE-SRC has the authority to pass orders in accordance with the law.”

The SRC in its 233rd meeting held on 26th – 28th September, 2012 considered the matter and decided to confirm the withdrawal of recognition of B.Ed and D.Ed college of the said institutions decision taken in 210th meeting held on 22-23rd August, 2011, for the following reasons:-

Accordingly, a show cause notice was issued on 19.11.2012. Since there is no reply from the institution after a lapse of more than two months. The matter is placed before 238th meeting of SRC held on 5th –6th February 2013 which is defered to 239th meeting held on 26th – 27th February 2013.The institution has submitted its written representation on 15.02.2013, which is delayed for more than 63 days. The SRC in its 242nd Meeting held on 14th – 16th April, 2013 considered the written reply of the institution on the above matter and also the relevant documents of the institution and decided to withdraw recognition for the following reasons:- 1) The college has not submitted documentary proof of exclusive

facilities provided for M.Ed course. As per NCTE regulations, 2009 “The teacher education institution shall not be allowed to have any other institution within its demarcated area or building and shall not have any other course(s) in its building”.

2) No documentary proof has been submitted by the college in their reply

regarding the total number of students admitted to the M.Ed. programme is 34; out of them 16 are from Karnataka and the other 18 are from Kerala.

3) Ever since the start of M.Ed. programme in the year 2008, according

to the Principal, the college has not submitted the list of teaching staff to the University for approval. Hence, none of the M.Ed. staff are approved by the University till date. This is a serious lapse. No documentary proof is submitted by the institution in their reply.

4) The college has a common library for all the courses running in the

campus. Only 804 books are available for M.Ed. programme at the library. All these books were purchased only at the time of starting the M.Ed. programme i.e. on March 7, 2008. In addition to this, about ten Journals were there. The utilization of library from the staff and students is very less. As per the issue register, only 12 students have barrowed books from the library. No documentary proof is submitted by the institution in their reply.

5) Labs are not at all available either for the B.Ed. or for the M.Ed.

programme. No documentary proof is submitted by the institution in their reply.

6) Dissertation guidance has been given by the faculty who are not

qualified for teaching the M.Ed. course. Upon verification, it was found that B.Ed. faculty (Mr. M. C. Krishna Muni, Ms. Vidyavathi) and a guest faculty, Mr. Abdul Naveed A. of this college have guided the research work (dissertation) of M.Ed. students. This is a serious academic lapse. No documentary proof is submitted by the institution in their reply.

The interaction of the Task Force with the M.Ed. students of SJES COLLEGE OF EDUCATION on August 2, 2012 at the Education Department in the Jnana Bharathi Campus revealed that 1) Students who were present for this meeting told the Task Force that

they have seen majority of their M.Ed. classmates only during the examination time; most of the students join this college only to write their examination.

2) Attendance of the students was not insisted by the staff. 3) College management has demanded extra fee for dissertation

guidance from some of the students 4) Students were forced to pay additional amount by the college

management for getting internal assessment marks and those who did not pay were given with very less marks.

No documentary proof is submitted by the institution towards the above points. Based on the above points the Committee decided to withdraw the recognition of the M.Ed course run by S.J.E.S Tachers Education Institution, S.J.E.S Campus, Old Madras Road, Virgo Road Nagar post, Bangalore - 560049, Karnataka from the academic year 2013-14, in order to enable the ongoing batch of students in M.Ed, course, if any, to complete their course.

The Union of India, MHRD, New Delhi is the first respondent, 2. NCTE, New Delhi is the second respondent and 3. NCTE, SRC, Bangalore is the third respondent. The Court Order is as under:-

“The counsel for respondents 2 and 3 who were required to respond to this petition after having sought an adjournment, have sought to retire from the case. The memo of retirement is placed on record. An adverse inference is drawn against Respondents 2 and 3. The petition is considered for final disposal.

2. The petitioner is said to be an institution established in the year 1979 and had been imparting education to rural and semi-urban students who came from Maddur and other rural areas. It is classified as a semi-urban college which is running a school from I Standard onwards as also the Pre-University course and Bachelor's degree courses in education, M.Ed., M.B.A., Polytechnic, Nursing and other courses. It has a campus spread over five acres and has been providing all facilities including hostel facilit ies, canteen and other infrastructure to enable the students to prosecute their studies. Petitioner submits that the College has been running M.Ed course from the year 2008-09 and it has performed well, in that, the results have been exceptionally good and that in the examinations held in June 2009, a student from the College has secured the First rank and also in the examination held in the year 2011, two students had secured the Third and Fourth ranks, respectively in the State, from the petitioner's college. These are examples of the excellent education imparted at the College and the petitioner claims that the college is equipped with all facilities and has complied with all conditions imposed by the National Council for Teacher Education. However, it is the case of the petitioner that the Respondent No.3, without granting an opportunity of hearing, has sought to withdraw the recognition accorded to the petitioner - college vide order dated 16.05.2013 on the ground that there are defects in the petitioner - college for running the M.Ed. course and it is in that background that the present writ petition is filed.

3. No statement of objections are filed. However, the counsel for the respondent who was earlier appearing had opposed the petition and had sought to contend that the claim of the petitioner of not being afforded an opportunity of hearing is incorrect, as the petitioner was duly served with a notice of hearing. However, there is no indication and no material is produced to establish that there was any such service of notice on the petitioner. •Therefore, it is necessary to afford a hearing to the petitioner before any measures could be taken insofar as withdrawing the recognition granted to the college.

4. Accordingly, the impugned order is quashed. The respondent No.2 is directed to place the petitioner on notice, duly acknowledged of such service and thereafter afford a hearing to the petitioner as regards the proposal to withdraw the recognition and pass appropriate orders thereafter”.

have not obtained ‘B’ Grade by NAAC, not to admit students for B.Ed Additional Intake and M.Ed for the academic year 2012-2013. However, the colleges of education have approached Hon’ble High Court and obtained stay on the order of the University (List enclosed). The University has also filed vacate stay petition in respect of all the colleges in the list. The Hon’ble High Court on these batch petitions passed the following final orders on 22.01.2013. “…… 33. The learned counsels for the petitioners submitted that unless the approval for admission of students in M.Ed and Additional Intake in B.Ed course in the petitioners colleges is granted at the earliest, the students would be put to great difficulty, as they could not be sent for teacher training during the month of February 2013.

I would like to point out such state of affairs would infer non co-operation between the University and NCTE and lack of uniform administrative approach by NCTE and the University. I write this letter essentially for NCTE’s opinion as to how to proceed with the above colleges in continuing/granting affiliation for the academic year 2013-2014. I request the NCTE to take a firm stand as to how to proceed with these colleges which have not obtained ‘B’ Grade by NAAC in terms of permitting them to offer B.Ed Additional Intake and M.Ed Degree Courses for the year 2013-2014. Further, list of Colleges is enclosed which is submitted by the Tamilnadu Teachers Education University offering B.Ed (Additional Intake)M.Ed.

In this case, however, because of heavy back long in NAAC for inspection and clearance of cases, NCTE issued a circular on 13-07-2012 allowing some relaxations in this regard. The contents of this circular are self-contained and very clear. The High Court of Madras had taken cognizance of this circular and issued an order on 22-1-2013 which is also very clear. In the light of these developments, institutions that had applied to NAAC for inspection/certification or obtained IEQA on 1st April 2012 can not be proceeded against for want of NAAC-B certification until NAAC decides on their cases or until NCTE revises its relaxation whichever is earlier. That being so, the TNTEU can take action only strictly in accordance with the High Court order. In this backdrop, the TNTEU may have to review their decisions and decide on appropriate further action”.

Accordingly, a letter sent to the TNTEU on 02.12.2013. The SRC in its 255th Meeting held on 13th-15th November, 2013 considered the matter, letter vide dated 06-09-2013 from Registrar (I/c) of Pondicherry University ( A Central University) regarding disaffiliation of the “Arutperunchothi Ramalingasammy College of Education, Abisegapakkam Village, Ariankuppam – 605007, Pondicherry, from the Pondicherry University, and decided to write to the University: 1. Ascertain the reasons for withdrawal of affiliation. 2. Point out to the University that according to the Law they can not

withdraw affiliations as long as NCTE recognition is there. 3. After receipt of reasons from the University, we will have to issue Show Cause Notice to the Institution.

The institution submitted a letter dated 24.07.2012 states as follows:- “Our Seema Education Charitable Trust clarifies that, the land had already been registered for the premises in favour of Seema Education Charitable Trust and hence seema D.Ed college will shift its premises within 6 months to the Registered land, as the college humbly request to grant 6 months of time for shifting of the premises. Whereas collection of heavy donation for admission in our college is been fixed not more than Rs. 25000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand Only) for 2 years, hence the rumors are complete false and baseless.” The SRC in its 236th meeting held during 16-17 December, 2012 considered the matter, reply of the institution dt. 24.07.2012 and all the relevant documentary evidences and it was decided to serve Show cause Notice under NCTE Act, for the following:-

• The Institution was granted recognition in temporary premises to run D.Ed course on 14.04.2007 with a condition that it should shift to its own permanent premises in 3 years. i.e., on or before 14.04.2010.

As concerned to our college, it is the sixth batch completing the B.Ed course from our institution. The NCTE team visited our college on 2004, dated 04/12/2004 and conducted a detailed inspection for infrastructural and instructional facilities and they satisfied. As per the report, the NCTE grants the approval to Dr. Ambedkar College of Education for conducting B.Ed course from 2005-06,APS00621 /FKN /SEC /N/163 /SRO/NCTE/2004-05/909. On other hand expert committee deputed by the Government of Kerala as per the directions of the Hon’ble High Court on 2004 inspected all infrastructural and institutional facilities and granted 100 marks out of 100. Only few institutions got 100 out of 100 marks in the inspection. As per their recommendation, Government of Kerala granted NOC as per the decision of the Hon’ble High Court. The Kannur University team also visited and inspected all the facilities and satisfied with all the facilities. As per the report University granted affiliation in 2005-06. As considering the academic progress, we are keeping a good performance in the result as well as co-curricular activities since 2006. Our student got Kannur University’s First Rank in the B.Ed Degree Examination 2008. Our students participated all these years for University “Kalotsavam” and got many points. In addition to that, we conducted tour programmers, field trips, factory visit fot the students. And conducted Union day, festival day and different clubs inaugurations. Our Natural Science Club students cultivated vegetables and mushroom. We are conducting sports in every year. As concerned to the Lab, we have well equipped Psychological Lab, which we established in 2004 by purchasing the equipment’s from Agra Psychological Labs, Agra. Language Lab is established from ETNL Labs. As concerned to Technology Lab, we have 20 computers. Physical Science and Biological Lab is sharing with our own Higher Secondary School ( Ambedkar Vidyanikethan H.S.S, Periye). We have slide Projector, O.H.P, LCD Projector and Broad band internet facilities available. We have Broad band Internet Connection and now BSNL Officers are visited our institution for providing 30 internet connections as per the norms of U.G.C. all these facilities are clearly visible in our institution. As concerned to the teaching staff, we have University approved staff members. This year also some persons submitted the complaint by declaring as teacher trainee. They are submitting this complaint from unknown persons. The same complaint is they submitted to the Chief Minister of Kerala, Governor of Kerala Vice Chancellor of the Kannur University etc. But for all these letters we have submitted our reply saying the complaint is baseless. As concerned to our College, it is the sixth batch we are functioning after getting the approval from NCTE from 2005-06 onwards. As concerned to this complaint, we have a clear idea that this is a baseless complaint. In the academic year 2011-12 the person who elected as students union Chairman was terminated his course on 25/05/2011 by getting placement. We discussed this letter with the last batch students about this baseless complaint. They promised us that they never sent such a complaint. They were satisfied about the facilities. Now they completed their course with good academic result. In this year also some persons submitted the complaint in the name of teacher trainees, Dr. Ambedker College of Education for Chief Minister and University authorities with the same matters. After getting this, our students of this academic year jointly submitted a reply to the Chief Minister and University authorities saying that they never sent such a complaint. Some
