During a surprise inspection at Government College in Latifnagar, Sarojini Nagar, Lucknow, conducted by BL Sharma, the director of higher education, it was discovered that no students were present despite a scheduled reporting time of 10 AM. Only an assistant professor and three outsourced employees were on site. The acting principal and a chemistry teacher arrived later, while nine other faculty members were absent. The attendance register was also missing, prompting Sharma to recommend disciplinary action, including the withholding of one day's salary for absent staff. He instructed that all teachers must engage in outreach efforts to boost student enrollment and report back on these initiatives. The directorate is also gathering data on aided colleges with low enrollment, specifically those with fewer than 100 or between 100 and 250 students. This follows prior concerns raised by Governor Anandiben Patel regarding low enrollment figures in state-run colleges.
