So this is the new joke on #HigherEducation by the professionals ...
So taking it little seriously for a while...
1/n

Word 1: Kerala Academic ( Prof. of
Central University) resigns ...

: said 'notification' is for Prime Minister Research Fellowship

Eligibility : Final yr students ONLY for IISc/IIT/IISER/NIT/IIIT.

most likely NOT even valid for Central University

Faculty Resigns : 🤔

Reason quoted :
HRD ministry says Research Project can ONLY be of National Interest ...

Notification 2(c) :
Topic chosen should be in frontier areas of S&T... PREFERABLY focussing on national priorities

What's wrong ? 🙄

Look at the Designation of people in National Coordination Committee ...to implement this AWESOME Scheme ...

Can there be any body more responsible for #HigherEducation Research than these ...

Still a Prof who is not even eligible.. resigns ..and Media wines ..

1650 Crores allocated for 7 yrs ...

for 3000 most meritorious PhDs ..

to pursue prestigious PhD in frontier area of science & Technology

With fellowship of 80k more than most faculty across India !! @shaileshkpandey

Look at the *Transparency* and Efficient method of evaluation 4(a)
A central portal of all projects ...

Prof who is Non eligible for scheme in a university resigns ...citing efficient & transparent system as reason and

Ex HRD Minister of State goes nuts !

Not just creating 3000 most meritorious ..richly paid PhDs..these fellows will get 2 lac per year ...8 lac through out PhD for research and presenting research overseas ...
More than faculty at IITs 😐

Not just PhDs in Frontier areas of S&T ..objecting these areas this one solitary Prof resigns and Media calls it 'suicide'

...Govt is also establishing Centers of Excellence in these Frontier areas ...

Now ??

So what are these areas of 'National Priorities'...Opposing which this faculty has resigned ...

These areas are :
Energy, Water, Clean Environment , Smart Materials for sustainable development..

Now Highlights of the 'serious Joke' :

*Scheme is for Exceptionally meritorious PhD students from IISc/IIT/NIT/IISER/IIIT ONLY in ANY frontier areas of Science & Tech

Protesting which Faculty from *University* (non eligible) in dept. *English and Culture* resigns
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Scheme is for proposal in ANY frontier areas of S&T

Preferably Water Energy Environment..

Media : ONLY for areas of national priority

Non eligible Faculty in a English dept : **Suicidal** .. I resign !!

Ex HRD min : bla..bla..bloo..bloo ...Carnage ..bhago bhago !!

Scheme: 3000 most meritorious Students in 7 yrs from IITs etc in Science and Tech ..

Media: Rule for ALL PhDs

Prof of English in a university : I Resign because "irrelevant areas" are not allowed for such distinguished fellowship of 80,000/- !

Ex MoS HRD : bla bla bloo bloo

Scheme: Proposal focussing on Frontier areas of Research has to be submitted by Central Online portal ..database of imp proposals will be created

Non eligible Faculty in English: Govt asking to create a database of Proposals in S&T ..**I resign**
Ex MoS HRD: bla bla bloo bloo

Believe it or Not !!
These are three objections of the non eligible Faculty from English dept in Kerala univ. who resigned protesting against meritorious PM fellowship for Research in areas of Energy, Environment Water for students of IITs etc
Too many jokes in that statement !
