Madhya Pradesh silent on demand for inquiry into private college admissions

Even as the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board, or Vyapam as it is popularly known, asked the Madhya Pradesh government almost two years ago to conduct an inquiry into the admissions in private dental and medical colleges in 2012 and 2013, this never happened, a reply to an RTI query has revealed.
Had the inquiry been conducted, RTI activist Ajay Dubey says, it could have exposed the nexus between a few Vyapam officials, the Directorate of Medical Education and private colleges.
"The inquiry could have exposed the foul play in the admissions in the private medical and dental colleges, which was doubted by Vyapam. But the inquiry was never conducted," said Dubey.
The letter Vyapam wrote to the Madhya Pradesh government's Directorate of Medical Education was obtained by Dubey through an RTI application in November 2015 from the MP professional examination board.
In the letter dated July 8, 2014, Vyapam asked the Directorate of Medical Education to re-examine and verify admissions to the private medical colleges and dental colleges in 2012 and 2013.
