The Haryana Education Department has constituted a special committee to verify the degree and experience certificates of around 1,100 newly-appointed Post Graduate Teachers (PGTs).
Legal action would be taken against those whose documents are found fake during the probe, said state Haryana Education Minister Geeta Bhukkal while interacting with mediapersons after hearing out public grievances here today.
She said most of the questionable PG degrees had been issued by deemed universities that were not approved by the University Grant Commission (UGC).
“We have also identified some teachers who got promotion benefit on the basis of such degrees. These have been served show-cause notices,” said Bhukkal. Many applicants had also managed to get their selection done on the basis of fake experience certificates issued by unrecognised private schools, she said.
She said it was the state government’s responsibility to ensure only candidates with genuine degrees and experience certificates joined service. Hence, documents of all doubtful candidates were being
examined so no fake degree/ experience holder could join.
In reply to a question about the newly-selected PGTs who obtained the PG degree from four deemed universities, Bhukkal said, “How can they be given joining letters when a case pertaining to affiliations of such universities is already pending before court? Notices are also being sent to teachers who have been hired on the basis of degrees issued by these universities.”
A significant number of newly-selected PGTs have not received joining letters from the Education Department for several months.
The department said master's degrees obtained from Rajasthan Vidyapeeth University, Udaipur; IASE University, Sardarshahar (Rajasthan); Vinayaka Mission University, Salem (Tamil Nadu); and Bangalore University, Karnataka, were being examined.
