The sources said that these private colleges established huge infrastructure including hostels where hundreds of students could be adjusted added that due to opening of University Campuses like Kathua and Bhaderwah Campuses and Kishtwar B.Edcollege, the private colleges owners suffered massive losses in terms of profits. The sources said that in a well planned conspiracy hatched at top level, the private colleges and University official nexus started weakening these university campus and find Kishtwar University Campus and other campuses as a result of which all the campuses other than Kathua and Bhaderwah Campuses are facing closure problem added that Bhaderwah University and Kathua University campuses had been established after following proper procedure wherein all the posts were created through proper channel while all other Campuses are non plan Campuses subjected to availability of funds.
The sources said that funds of the tune of corers of rupees were released as well as spend on building infrastructure for these University campuses in previews government while at the same time the government fails to bring all these university Campuses in proper annual plan budgets.
The sources said that University Official and Private College nexus in order to sabotage the functioning of these University Campuses sanctioned lesser known courses who had no trackers for these campuses.
"It is strange that instead of sanctioning of those courses taught in Kishtwar schools and colleges-- Jammu University accorded sanction to those courses which lacks students interest" said social activist ShakirSaddiqui. He said that on one hand side State and central government claims that wants to bring revolutionary changes in eduction section by opening IIT,IIM, AIIMS, Medical Colleges, cluster universities while at the same time fails to strengthen the already existing institutions like Kishtwar University campus and urged upon the government to look into the issue before it snowballs into major controversy.
It is pertinent to mention that in a significant development, the members of civil society in Kishtwar cutting across party lines on Friday threatened mass agitation over the future plan of Jammu University to close all the University Campuses other than Bhaderwah University Campus and Kathua Campus due to callous attitude of Jammu University including its Vice Chancellor and also called on Director Kishtwar Campus Dr.ShoaibAnayat Malik Malik and showed its resentment towards the growing reports about the closing of Kishtwar University campus due to non providing of funds by the Uni ersity management.
Later the members of civil society unanimously resolved to fight for the permanent establishment of Kishtwar University Campus and to fight any move of Jammu University with regard to closure of Kishtwar University campus and nominated retired ADDC Kishtwar Raiz Ahmed Zarger as the Chairman of the front that lead the fight for "Save Kishtwar University Campus".
