| **(a) & (b):**  Yes, Madam.  The Government is aware of such a report published in a newspaper.  It was found that duplication of names of faculty in the database has occurred due to movement of faculty from one institution to other and non-updation of the data of the outgoing/incoming faculty by the respective institutions; and also due to some institutions submitting false information to maintain zero deficiency to obtain approval/expansion in the existing courses and additional courses.  The data shows that the average percentage of duplicate faculty is 1.76%. The State wise details of duplicate faculty in the AICTE approved institutes are at Annexure.  **(c) & (d):**  In order to address this issue, AICTE has been taking the following steps:  - 1.1. Updating the faculty details on its web portal with the PAN/AADHAR card of the individuals. - 1.2. At the time of grant of approval for establishment of the new institutions, physical verification of the faculty is conducted by the Visiting Committee. - 1.3. From the 2 nd year onwards, the institutions are granted extension of approval on the basis of the mandatory self disclosure and an affidavit submitted to AICTE. - 1.4. In case, any institute fails to adhere to norms laid down for **“Faculty Requirements and Cadre Ratio”** , appropriate action is initiated against the defaulting institution as prescribed in the Approval Process Handbook, which includes withdrawal of approval.  ***** |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
