AURO University was founded with the noble vision of integral education inspired by Sir Aurobindo and the Mother. However, since the appointment of the new Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Parimal Vyas, there has been a noticeable shift in the university's direction. The institution, once aspiring to be a premier university, now appears to be narrowly focused on cost-cutting measures, which has adversely affected the quality of education provided. A significant number of graduates are struggling to clear the CUET due to a curriculum that lacks core subjects. Since Dr. Vyas's tenure began, over 40 faculty members have resigned, and the university is facing challenges in recruiting new staff. The number of regular faculty members has decreased from 75 to 45. There is a growing perception that the Vice-Chancellor prefers hiring individuals primarily from Maharaja Sayaji Rao University Baroda, with 8 out of 10 new hires being from this institution. This has led to a sentiment among the university community that one must be "MSU certified" to work at AURO. Furthermore, there are concerns about the Vice-Chancellor's treatment of faculty from other states, who reportedly face discrimination in promotions and increments despite their potential and proven track records. The Registrar, despite lacking the necessary caliber, is favored by the management and implements policies that are perceived to harass faculty members while pleasing the administration. The university's financial decisions also raise questions. Significant funds are allocated to events related to Integral Education, which do not yield the desired outcomes, while proposals for conferences or workshops by faculty members are often denied due to budget constraints. Additionally, there are allegations of unjust financial deductions from outgoing faculty members based on false claims. As the management has zero experience in academics they blindly believe what the VC says. The VC is nothing less of a stand up commedian, he doesn't know what to speak, how to speak, howlong to speak. If he is invited to speak for 10 min then he will go on talking for 50 mins out of which 40 minutes will be worthless. He himself agree that he is whimsical, and in all private meetings he will speak I'll about management or other faculties and will don't quote me out side this room. He is self-contradictory, at first he said in an open meeting I want people to criticise me, argue with me and come up with better policies for the University. And if any faculty brought and any good policy he threw it in dustbin when a senior faculty showed him his faults and highlighted his wrong doings he sought to it that the concerned faculty leaves the University within 20 days. He wants spine less toothless yes men as HoD who will always praise him for nothing. If you have a submissive attitude and say Jahapan Tussi Great Ho Tofa Kabul Karo, then the VC will give you quick promotion and good increment. He has all the qualities that a leader should not. Now AURO University under his leadership is going downwards. The only thing he is here is to get NAAC accreditation and for that also he has changed atleast three times the system of data collection with no proper established SOPs. Being in academics for more than 10 years I can do a better job then him. This review is in public interest if you don't believe me join the University and experience yourself. 🤣...Read More
