HYDERABAD: A postgraduate student of Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences has said she managed to clear her PG exam only because former vice-chancellor Dr PVN Nanda Kumar Reddy intervened and ordered an inquiry into her grievance.
The student, who pursued her PG course at a private college in Narketpally, said she had appealed to the university after discovering that her answer sheet had been deliberately marked with an ‘X’, which led to her initial disqualification.
Reacting to the VC’s resignation over alleged irregularities in the revaluation process, she said she was relieved that an inquiry committee had been set up following her complaint. “If the VC had not responded, I would never have secured pass marks.
I had even decided to take an extreme step,” she said. “After my representation, he formed an inquiry committee and ensured justice. It is unfortunate that he had to resign. I am deeply depressed by the development.”
Speaking to media, Nanda Kumar said that even the CM was being targeted and so he chose to step down to avoid further controversy. “I do not want the government to suffer,” he said. Denying allegations made by ex-minister T Harish Rao, he insisted that he was appointed through a search committee and was not a political appointee.
