Maharashtra Government Takes Control of 32 Sinhgad Educational Institutions Amid Financial Issues
The Maharashtra government has taken control of 32 institutions run by the Sinhgad Technical Education Society (STES) amid financial mismanagement, unpaid salaries, and mounting loan liabilities. Two administrators have been appointed to oversee 25 technical institutes and seven colleges, following a Bombay High Court directive. The takeover aims to protect students' interests after years of financial distress, including allegations of fund diversion and loan defaults. Authorities urge parents not to transfer students, assuring continued management under government supervision.
