An open letter to the Smriti Irani, Minister of HRD, by an NIT alumnus I am writing to you with great concern and hope. I am an alumnus of NIT, Hamirpur. Recent events in the NITs across the country have left me disheartened. The dignity and authority of these institutions have been diminished due to political interference with vested interests. Congress led UPA replaced all NITs Directors with their loyalists across the country In 2002, the MHRD, Shri Minister Murli Manohar Joshi, decided to upgrade the status of the Regional Engineering Colleges to National Institutes of Technology (NITs). When, in 2004, the Congress led UPA took over from BJP led NDA, they replaced all NITs Directors with their loyalists across the country. All the NITs are autonomous and their fee structure is too high for students. The democratic process has not been working at all in these institutions. Most of NITs became corruption hub during the Congress led UPA government. Congress loyalists are enjoying perks of being a Director at such institution. https://saddahaq/politics/smriti/an-open-letter-to-the-smriti-irani-minister-for-hrd-by-an-nit-alumnus
