HRD ministry sets up panel to review IGNOU functioning

NEW DELHI:The HRD ministry has set up a committee under Gujarat University Vice-Chancellor Syed Bari to review the functioning of IGNOU.

The decision comes in wake of several complaints received against IGNOU VC and the parliamentary standing committee on HRD taking a grim view of how the varsity is being run. VC M Aslam has come under criticism for many of his decisions, including the scrapping of its community college scheme for the armed forces that left soldiers, airmen and sailors without certificates and diplomas.
