The Delhi government today ordered a freeze on funding of 28 Delhi University colleges — that are either fully or partially funded by it — following the varsity’s failure to appoint governing bodies since months.
Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia said it in a series of tweets
Delhi University Registrar Tarun Das, who is authorised to speak to , remained unavailable for his comments on the issue.
The 28 colleges, of which 12 get 100 and 16 get 5 per cent funding from the government, have not had a full governing since October 2016, when their term ended.
In February, DU had sent a panel of names to Delhi Government following which the AAP dispensation had sent the Governing Body list in March, for approval by (EC).
However, no decision has been taken yet in this regard by DU.
The government had earlier this month threatened to stop the funding if DU failed to constitute Governing Bodies (GBs) by July 31.
