Imphal, March 02 2015:
State Education Minister M Okendro on Monday told Manipur Legislative Assembly that around Rs 83 lakh embezzled by Principal of Lilong Haoreibi College (LHC) would be asked to return under the Manipur Public Servants' Personal Liability Act, 2006 .
The minister stated this while replying to a call attention motion in the House.
He said the LHC Principal has been suspended in connection with the fund misappropriation case.
Okendro said that previously all colleges were authorised to draw fund directly from UGC.
He said the Government had found construction of unnecessary structures by college authorities in the past.
Since then the Government set up the State level UGC Project Scrutiny Committee in 2003 to oversee such activities.
He said construction of unwanted structures like hall for Government colleges is not allowed now.
