DD Power Row: DHE Cracks Whip on College Principals

The Directorate of Higher Education (DHE) has issued a stern warning to principals and faculty of government colleges across the state. The warning comes in response to significant delays in crucial administrative functions.

The DHE cited a reluctance among college authorities to accept delegated drawing and disbursing (DD) powers as the primary cause of these delays. This has hampered essential college operations, impacting students and staff alike.

The directive emphasizes that the assumption of DD powers is mandatory. Failure to comply will invite disciplinary action, the DHE has clearly stated. The warning, issued on July 7, 2025, underscores the seriousness of the situation.

This administrative logjam highlights a critical issue within the state’s higher education system. The timely disbursement of funds is crucial for smooth functioning, and the DHE’s firm stance aims to ensure accountability and efficiency, ultimately benefiting students and the educational landscape.
