Daltonganj, March 28: Divisional Commissioner Bal Kishun Munda, who is the acting vice chancellor of the Nilamber Pitamber University and registrar, Dr Mritunjay Kumar, made a short trip to the model degree college at Kurka, which is within the Chainpur police station limits, late Wednesday evening.
Model degree college building
The duo took a tour of the campus and the building. It has been more than two years since this model degree college was ready to be handed over to the university, but the handover is hanging in the balance because of its boundary wall.
The Medininagar forest division has disallowed the construction of the boundary wall, citing that the land on which it is to be built is owned by the forest department. Hence, the NoC for the boundary wall is not permitted.
28 sanctioned posts
The college has 28 sanctioned posts, including principals, teachers and non-teaching personnel.
Subjects to be taught here, such as Hindi, English, Public Administration, Sociology, Commerce, BCA, Office Management, and IT, are sanctioned by the state higher education department for this college.

Two academic sessions lost
Two academic sessions have been lost following the non-handing over of the college for want of the boundary wall.
Munda said, “I am going to convene a meeting soon. I will ask the DFO Medininagar to find out ways and means.”
Acting registrar Dr Mritunjay Kumar said, “The acting VC Bal Kishun Munda took pains and made a trip to this degree college. I believe the issue of the boundary wall will be resolved amicably.”
The acting registrar added, “We are too keen to start our academic session from this June itself. Let’s see how things move on.”
Under the state government’s directive, the district administration has provided 10 acres of land for this college.
The Jharkhand State Building Construction Corporation Ltd built this college.
DFO assures to resolve the issue
When contacted, DFO Incharge Medininagar Kumar Ashish said, “I will look into this issue seriously.”
