Vadodara: M S University’s biggest department – the Faculty of Commerce – is witnessing an unusual controversy these days. In-charge head of the Department of Banking and Insurance, Dr Dilip Chellani, on Friday alleged that all his research papers have been dumped in the open lobby by the faculty officials to carry out repairs works.In his complaint, Chellani said he got a shock when he saw all his research papers as well as books and reference materials that he had collected over the years were lying scattered in the open lobby at the Faculty of Commerce as the officials in his absence decided to carry out repair works of his cabin. “I was deeply hurt to see the way in which the faculty officials are behaving with me,” Chellani said, adding that he had indeed been demanding the university for repair works of his cabin which was in dilapidated condition.“Finally, they agreed to work on my long-pending this week, and so, I had handed over the keys to the peon. But when I returned, I saw that my materials were literally thrown outside the cabin in the open,” he alleged. The aggreived teacher said that the officials should learn to respect faculty.However, the dean of Faculty of Commerce refuted Chellani’s allegations.“It is for the first time in 50 years that we have undertaken the mammoth task of special repairs and renovation at our faculty,” said professor Dinkar Nayak. “All the lobbies are are locked. We have deputed a peon at each of the lobbies where renovation and repair works are going on,” he said, adding that the teacher should have taken up his grievances directly with the faculty instead of raking up an issue.
