The College of Art (COA) of Delhi is a prestigious institution is the one that has been in news for all the wrong reasons. It is unbelievable that folks who tom-tom a lot on their approach towards education can do such things to a premier institute. Students of COA have been protesting against Delhi Cabinet’s decision to disaffiliate this prestigious institute from Delhi University (DU) and merge it with B.R. Ambedkar University, Delhi.
And COA, however, is not an aberration when it comes to higher education under the Delhi government. There are those 12 colleges run by the Delhi Government where salaries of the staff run up six months in arrears. What makes all this look kooky is that our man AK prides himself to be one politician who focuses on education! This and more in this piece under Delhi Musings in National Herald.
