DIRECTOR of the Institute of Technology (IT) in the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) Prof SN Upadhyay said the university administration failed to address the grievances of the people concerned — the stake holders — including the teachers and the students. He was delivering a lecture on ‘Nature and Structure of Grievances of Officials’ on the fourth day of the five-day workshop on ‘Management of University Administration’ at Bharat Kala Bhawan on the BHU campus.
“Now, it’s high time that we assimilate the successful models of management and administration in our own national life,” he said and recommended that the Indian moral principles and practices should be assimilated while designing the model of viable management of the university administration.
Former Dean of Law Faculty, Prof MP Singh delivered a lecture on ‘Perception of Grievances of Academic Administrators’ and said docile statesmen and bureaucrats used many wrong concepts. “It has happened because of the hegemony of the colonial tradition and model of management of university administration,” he said.
“Grievances of any cross-section in the universities are evidence of the failure of management system. Hence, we have to radically innovate the management model of university administration,” he said and added: “We as managers and administrators first learn the basic tenets of democratic polity.”.
He said politically appointed managers and administrators could not appreciate the open and transparent administration. Coordinator of the workshop Prof Harikesh Singh conducted the programme and director (research) of the Association of Indian University Prof RD Anand proposed vote of thanks.
