Bihar Fake Pharmacy Colleges License Cancelled. Prateek Siwan and 5 Others in Trouble.

Bihar Health Sciences University has uncovered a significant scam and cancelled the registrations of six pharmacy colleges in the state. These colleges had allegedly submitted fake No Objection Certificates (NOC) from the Health Department to secure affiliation for B.Pharm and D.Pharm courses.

What is the Issue?

• Colleges like Indian Institute of Education, Dullhin Bazar, Patna, submitted forged NOCs to gain affiliation.
• Upon investigation, it was revealed that similar fake documents were submitted by five other colleges.
• The Health Department clarified that no such NOCs were issued to these institutions.
• Consequently, the university immediately cancelled their registrations.

List of Colleges Involved

1. Indian Institute of Education, Dullhin Bazar, Patna
2. Exalt College of Pharmacy, Patedhi Belsar, Vaishali
3. Prabhu Kailash College of Pharmacy, Sarathua Mod, Aurangabad
4. Lalti Devi College of Pharmacy, Gaurichak Kansari, Patna
5. Pratik College of Education, Ziradei, Siwan
6. Champaran Institute of Higher Education, Semra, East Champaran

Why is This Serious?

1. Impact on Students:
   • The future of students enrolled in these colleges is now uncertain, as the validity of their degrees is in question.
2. Credibility of the University:
   • Issuing affiliation based on fake documents tarnishes the reputation of the university and raises concerns about its operational integrity.
3. Exposure of Corruption in Education:
   • This incident highlights deep-rooted corruption in the education system, undermining trust in institutions.

Role of Officials Under Scrutiny

• The university registrar is under the spotlight for signing incomplete and dubious applications.
• Authorities have assured that a thorough investigation will be conducted, and those found guilty will face strict action.

This incident serves as a wake-up call for stricter oversight in the education sector. Students and parents must exercise caution when choosing institutions. It also underscores the need for greater transparency and accountability in the university’s administrative processes.
