Ravenshaw University Wardens Resign Over Alleged MLA Interference

The Story in Brief

Wardens and deputy wardens at Odisha’s Ravenshaw University have resigned, protesting alleged interference by Kataka Sadar MLA Prakash Chandra Sethi. The University Teachers Association has asked the Vice-Chancellor to raise the matter with Chancellor Haribabu Kambhampati.

The dispute followed Mr Sethi’s visit to East Hostel during reported student unrest and an alleged hunger strike. Teachers said staff were insulted during an argument. Mr Sethi later sought action against Head of Department Sudarshan Mishra and the chief warden, alleging misconduct. Student groups plan protests over university autonomy.

The Indian Opinion

The allegations involve serious claims from university staff and the MLA, but the available account does not give a complete, independently verified chronology or responses from everyone named. It is therefore too early to assign sole blame. A formal inquiry and clear university statement could establish the facts and reduce the risk of further disruption to students and academic work.
