Hence, the sudden release of funds is “intangible and a powder in the eyes.”

“The MHRD all crazy trying to maintain, in the cheque. It is well below what the IIM C would be necessary if the tax bar is implemented. The Institute is already taken by a lack of means. We have tried our cost of the body that we have put in place since 1991, a high-level Faculty said.

“Let the MHRD first version during the last year, the fund and its share for this year, through these RS 4 crore, before any claim,” said the panel members.
