A complaint of plagiarism by two college teachers pertaining to a book published by Prasaranga (publication wing) of Karnatak University has reached the office of the Governor, resulting in the Governor’s office writing to the Vice-Chancellor seeking a point-wise reply.
The complaint of plagiarism pertains to the book titled “Experiments in Chemistry” authored by Suresh M. Tuwar, Manjali S. Salunke and Rajesh G. Kalkhambkar and published by Prasaranga in July 2021.
The allegation is that the core content of the book has been copied from “Comprehensive B.Sc Chemistry Laboratory Manual” published in June 2018 by Karnatak Science College in Dharwad and Chem-Forum (Chemistry Teachers Forum) and edited by an 18-member editorial board.
