00:00Let's turn to tonight's Get Real India story from empty fields where buffaloes graze to campuses
00:05that exist only on paper. An India Today investigation has now uncovered startling
00:11irregularities in Madhya Pradesh's B.Ed. colleges. Even after university inspections flagged serious
00:17deficiencies, 125 private colleges received conditional approval, but they are only on
00:24paper. Last week we told you about hospitals that exist only on paper in Madhya Pradesh.
00:28This time it's B.Ed. colleges. Ravishpaal Singh now reports.
00:42Where classrooms should stand, buffaloes graze. Madhya Pradesh's colleges approved on paper,
00:50but missing on the ground.
01:20Locals say they've heard the Shri Ram.
01:22B.Ed. College's name for years. But they've never seen students. The same land parcel is
01:29also linked to Pphal Millennium College and Bagla Mukhi College. In fact, locals told us Bagla Mukhi
01:36college shut down years ago.
01:38What is here?
01:40This is a farm.
01:41This is not the Shri Ram College.
01:43Did you not go to the college?
01:45Yes.
01:46No, the name is running, but it's not the college.
01:48Okay, only the name is running?
01:49Yes.
01:54When India today reached the campus, the building was locked. Inside, the ground floor was being
02:01used as a tailoring and embroidery training center.
02:05Now, what is the state of the college?
02:07Is it Chalu or is it closed?
02:08Yes, it's closed.
02:10It's closed.
02:11But now it's Mangalwar.
02:12I don't know.
02:13Yes.
02:14In the Baju Valley building.
02:15Is it here from the Baju Valley building?
02:16No, no, no.
02:17Do you say that someone took over?
02:18No, no, no.
02:18Someone took over?
02:21Before Bangla Mukhi, then the millennials took over.
02:25That's right.
02:26That's right.
02:26That's right.
02:30That's right.
02:31The foundation then reached Saviour College in Bawadiya Kalaan, where the BA College shares
02:36its campus with a school and a local society office.
02:40We had two times an inspection.
02:42The first time the inspection was done, there was a lot of difficulties.
02:46Then, we gave them to the difficulties.
02:50When we had the difficulties, the university organized a next inspection.
02:55Then, there was another inspection.
02:57And the other inspection, we had all the difficulties that came last time.
03:01We gave them all the difficulties.
03:05University inspection reports flagged serious irregularities.
03:10Colleges not found at registered addresses.
03:13Colleges operating elsewhere.
03:16Deficiencies in infrastructure.
03:19Yet 125 private colleges were granted conditional approval.
03:25After submitting notarized affidavits,
03:28the minister now promises another inquiry.
03:32We gave them all the information before,
03:34and then we will get all the bills together.
03:38And we have given them.
03:39They have given them and given them.
03:42They have given them, and we have given them.
03:43In our bills, we have given them.
03:45We have given them.
03:48As government promises action, the big question remains.
03:52If colleges exist only on paper, who is preparing the teachers who will shape the next generation?
