**Headline:** Allegations of Misuse of Rs 3.5 Crore at Madhya Pradesh’s Veterinary University
Nanaji Deshmukh Veterinary Science University in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, is under investigation following allegations of a major scam involving the misuse of over Rs 3.5 crore in government funds. These funds were allocated in 2011 for research and training focused on utilizing cow dung and cow urine for cancer treatment. However, investigators now assert that the money was misappropriated for personal luxuries by university officials.
The state government had approved Rs 3.5 crore under the National Agricultural Science Scheme after the university requested Rs 8.74 crore to promote Panchagavya and explore remedies for serious diseases, including cancer. The intended purpose of these funds was to support research initiatives, encourage the use of cow products, and provide training to farmers. Unfortunately, investigators found that substantial research was not conducted, nor was the promised training delivered to farmers.
Jabalpur SDM Raghuveer Singh Maravi confirmed that the investigation revealed misuse of the funds received from the government between 2011 and 2018. Further inquiries indicated that a significant portion of the funds was diverted for non-research-related expenses, including the purchase of expensive vehicles and travel, which were not authorized under the project guidelines. Additionally, several crucial documents were either destroyed or withheld from the investigation team.
An inspection of the university’s laboratory, which was supposed to produce cow-dung-based products, showed only a few basic machines for making pots and lamps, contradicting claims of acquiring costly equipment. The lab’s condition was described as dilapidated, raising questions about the reported expenditures.
Financial records revealed that Rs 1.92 crore was spent on cow dung, cow urine, pots, raw materials, and machinery, with the actual market value of the machines estimated at only Rs 15–20 lakh, indicating a significant discrepancy. The investigation also uncovered expenditures for air travel to Goa and other cities, as well as the purchase of a car worth approximately Rs 7.38 lakh using project funds. Additional costs included petrol, vehicle maintenance, and drivers’ salaries, along with tables and electronic goods valued at Rs 15 lakh.
Despite the findings of the investigation, the university administration has denied any allegations of corruption. Registrar Mandeep Sharma stated that there have been no financial irregularities and that all requested records have been provided to the inquiry committee, which is currently awaiting the government’s report.
With missing documents, alleged misuse of substantial funds, and a lack of research outcomes, the situation raises serious concerns about accountability and transparency at the university.
