Ministry of HRD clarified about action against, 80,000 bogus teachers

Clarification of Ministry of HRD regarding action taken on the issue of bogus teachers 

This is in response to some reports appearing in the online press that no action has been taken on the 80,000 bogus teachers who have been identified after introducing Aadhaar  number verification on the Gurujan portal of AISHE.

 

The HRD Ministry has clarified that the fact mentioned in the report that no action has been taken is incorrect and it is not reflecting the actual position in the matter.

 All the 80,000 names have been shared with both AICTE and UGC – the regulators, for taking up with the respective institutions and verify the reasons for incorrect entries. Both the regulators are still on the job since the number of cases is very high.

 It is also to be clarified that in this case an opportunity is being given to the institutions to rectify mistakes if any in showing entries in Aadhaar numbers. This facility has been opened in the AISHE portal for making the corrections.

earlier,
At the release of All India Survey on Higher Education 2016-17 report in New Delhi on January 5, 2018, Javadekar had claimed that 80,000 fake teachers have been found through use of Aadhar.
However, replying to an RTI filed on January 10, HRD ministry's Department of Higher Education has said that it does not have the details of the bogus teachers.
The RTI had asked for information on state-wise break up of bogus teachers, their names and the colleges or universities these teachers were employed in.
