Administration controversy

Of late the institute has been in news for infamous reasons.Prof. P.S. Bisen who has earlier contributed significantly in providing new look and vision to the institute as a director(2000-2003)was reappointed as the director by Highcourt in February 2007 after winning a lawsuit. This was met with strong resistance from the governing body who snached all the financial and administrative powers from the director as well as sacked the secretary Mr. D.B.Singh.The matter is still subjudice.
****An era in the history of the Institute ended when Er.D.B.Singh passed away on 26.4.2008.
