History prof finally quits
Srivastav had earlier stepped down from his post following opposition by other senior professors of the department, who passed a no-confidence motion against him and objected to his ways of functioning in the department.
The no-trust move was initiated last year when senior professors of the department had raised objections about the way he had handled several important seminars organised, under the aegis of the campus diversity programme, in the department. The professors alleged that though it was a departmental programme, Srivastav never bothered to consult anyone.
The other allegation levelled against Srivastav was that he was unable to guide the students doing PhD under his supervision. The professors had also cited several instances to claim that he was unable to discharge his duties even as a professor of the department.
Talking to Express Newsline Srivastav said, ``Ever since I joined the department I have not been able to do any work of my own. Though earlier I wrote book, I was unable to do it after becoming the head of the department.'' He, however, refused to comment on the allegations levelled against him and said reasons for his quitting were totally personal.
