PUNE, Nov 16: Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad has threatened to intensify its stir against the State's controversial decision of granting permission to start Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS) course to certain city colleges.Addressing a press conferece here today, the ABVP office-bearers lambasted the state for deliberately delaying a final decision over the matter.It may be recalled that following strong protest by ABVP two weeks ago, the State Higher and Technical Education Minister Datta Rane had appointed a one-man committee headed by higher education director to probe into the various aspects of the colleges under dispute.The committee which was to submit its report within a week's time has so far not completed its enquiry.``The undue delay in submitting the committee report only reflects the government apathy in looking towards the grave issue,'' remarked Dhananjay Kulkarni of ABVP.Expressing strong discontent over the delay, Kulkarni said that the Parishad, however, wanted to give full opportunity to the government to intiate a suitable action. ``We are giving one more week to the committee to complete its enquiry and submit the report. If this is not done we will begin with a massive agitation in the city,'' he remarked. The ABVP office-bearer stated that the students' organisation will file a writ petition in the Bombay High Court if the State Government failed to take any action against the colleges. ``The final draft is ready and the petition will be filed if government puts cover on the possibilities to correct its wrong decision,'' said Kulkarni.About the recent meeting of the University of Pune's Management Council in which the decision over 16 proposals of starting new BCS course was deferred, Kulkarni said that the ABVP has appealed to the Vice-Chancellor to keep the issue of permission in suspended animation. ``As long the university has not taken any decision about granting permission to 16 new BCS courses, the government will not be able to interfere in the matter." said Kulkarni.
