(From The Economic Times) Byline: Arvind Singh Bisht LUCKNOW: Is CM Mayawati a social worker? That is the question doing the rounds in political circles here after she became the 'self-proclaimed' chancellor of Gautam Buddha University, to be set up by the newly created Gautam Buddha Education Society (GBES). The BSP leader will head the university, likely to start next July, as its patron in the capacity of a social worker and not as CM. What intrigues all and sundry is the new avtaar she has acquired as social worker primarily to become the society's patron. The society will be promoted by the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (Noida) and the Greater Noida. As patron she will be at the helm of affairs. The bylaws of the society have been framed to vest all powers in the patron. Accordingly, it is mandatory to seek her permission to affect changes in; (a) basic aims, objectives of the society, (b) structural change in its set up and (c) dissolution of society. Then, each amendment will have to be approved by one third of the members present in the society and they include, principal secretaries, finance, social welfare, higher education, electronics, technical education, science and technology and Noida CEO. All ex-officio posts. The CEO will also be the society secretary. The social worker status, is being seen as a ploy by Mayawati to remain chancellor forever. This is perhaps the only instance of its kind in which a governor is not the chancellor of a government university. A bill was adopted by both Houses of the state legislature recently. Reacting to all what has happened, Laxamikant Vajpayee, BJP MLA and chairman of the Vidhan Sabha estimate committee said in the House that the formation of the university was contrary to the UP state Universities Act, 1973 in which the governor is necessarily the chancellor.
The opposition shares the same opinion. Ashok Bajpayee, SP MLA and chairman, Public Accounts Committee said: "The university will be a private empire being raised at government expense by Mayawati to pursue her political agenda." While demanding immediate intervention by governor Shastri, he said there was no need to set up the university in Gautam Buddha Nagar, which has a number of universities close by in Meerut, Aligarh and Delhi, which is just 30 kms away. And reacting to it, CLP leader Pramod Tiwari said: "Mayawati was perhaps inspired by Vishwa Bharti University, where the chancellor is always the prime minister." The university will have reservations; 23 per cent for SC, 2 per cent for ST and 25 per cent for OBCs.
