Bharathiar University has spent over ₹1.5 lakh on travel expenses under the Glue Grant scheme which was taken from the centrally-funded Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA), claimed teacher associations.
The State President of Association of University Teachers (AUT) P. Thirunavukarasu claimed that Bharathiar University misused government funds under RUSA and urged the Higher Education department to look into the issue.
Glue Grant is a Union government-proposed scheme under which research and development institutions across nine cities could encourage innovations among students and enterprises.
