GU students submit forged letter at JNPT


The letter was submitted by NSUI state spokesperson Hardik Dodia and Ajay Thaker, first year students of Port Management at B K Institute of Management.


The Gujarat University was pulled up by the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust after two students submitted a forged letter for summer training at the Mumbai port. JNPT has also filed an application with the Nhava Sheva police in Mumbai, seeking an inquiry into the forgery.

The letter was submitted by NSUI state spokesperson Hardik Dodia and Ajay Thaker, first year students of Port Management at B K Institute of Management.

Vice-Chancellor Parimal Trivedi said, “Our students have to undergo summer training for 33 days compulsorily. Usually we line up companies for the students. But if someone wants to be trained at a particular firm, we allow it. For this, the student has to submit a training or approval letter from the firm. Dodia and Thaker gave us a training letter from JNPT and we wrote a recommendation letter for them. Later, JNPT informed us that students had submitted a forged training letter.”

The V-C admitted that port trust authorities had ordered the varsity to bring the guilty to charge if they want GU students to continue training at the port. “We have formed a two-member committee. The team took down the statement of the two youths. But there are holes in their story. This incident has harmed the university’s reputation,” Trivedi added.
