Sprouts Exclusive

 While the clandestine business of selling bogus honorary PhDs is rampant in Maharashtra, some of the universities are roping in retired judges to give legitimacy to this illegal business, the Special Investigation Team of Sprouts has reliably learnt.

 The universities claim that the University of Macaria is based in Russia. But this university is bogus and some other university is being run at the address given by this university.  The contact number given by the said University of Macaria is in the United States of America. Far from being recognised in India, this university has not been recognised even in Russia, Special Investigation Team of Sprouts has received this startling information.

 The University of Macaria organized a program to award fake PhDs at the Delhi-based India Habitat Centre on October 16, 2022. Surprisingly, a retired judge from Madhya Pradesh Aman Malik and Advocate Rohit Pandey were present on the dais and the fake PhDs were awarded at their hands. The recipients included Shridhant Joshi of Indore-based (Madhya Pradesh) Kautilya Academy.

 Rohit Pandey is said to be a Joint Secretary of the Supreme Court Bar Association and has been involved in the connection of honoring fake Ph.D. of the University of Macaria. A demand to cancel his “Sanad” is rising.

 Sprouts has decided to register a complaint with University Grants Commission 

(UGC) Chairman M. Jagadesh Kumar about these irregularities. Besides, the complaints will be lodged with Russian Embassy in New Delhi and the Russian Education Ministry.

 The functions to award fake honorary PhDs are usually organised in five star hotels and the PhDs are given at the hands of a minister or an elected representative. Some time back the bogus Phds were distributed at the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s brother Pralhad Modi at a function organised by the Shri Dadasaheb Phalke International Award Film Foundation. The Sprouts was the first to expose this clandestine deal.

 The fake PhDs are sold in wholesale in Maharashtra Raj Bhavan. The gang is led by Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari’s bogus secretary Ulhas Munagekar. The doors of the Raj Bhavan are always open to those selling bogus PhDs. Those involved in this deal are giving legitimacy to this illegal business through all these modes.
