Around 4,000 employees, teachers and pensioners of Visva-Bharati are yet to get paid for June, with varsity authorities not giving any reason for the delay.
Sources said employees of the central university usually get salary credited to bank accounts on the last working day of a month. However, though three days have elapsed in July, employees are yet to receive the June salaries.

There are around 2,200 employees, including 1,150 permanent staff, and 1,850 pensioners under Visva-Bharati. The Centre pays it Rs 23 crore towards salaries and pension every month.
Sources said during an online meeting in mid-June, officials of the varsity’s accounts department told vice-chancellor Bidyut Chakrabarty that to do their job they needed permission to open their office. The varsity is closed amid Covid curbs imposed by the state government on educational institutions.
T.N. Prathapan, the Congress MP of Kerala’s Thrissur and a member of the education ministry’s parliamentary standing committee, has written to Union education minister Ramesh Pokhriyal, asking for a fact-finding committee to probe alleged financial and administrative irregularities of Visva-Bharati vice-chancellor Bidyut Chakrabarty.
The letter on June 28 stated 12 allegations, ranging from fraudulent use of Santiniketan Trust funds to the VC’s many suspension orders.

The MP on Wednesday said allegations from Visva-Bharati teachers and students prompted him to write the letter. “I’ve been receiving allegations from teachers and students of Visva-Bharati on the VC’s malpractices and undemocratic actions. The Sangh Parivar (VC Chakrabarty is deemed close to the saffron camp) does the same in all premier institutions..It should be addressed and resisted.”
