Wifi Internet Facility in IIT Roorkee

Ret. Lt. col. A.K. Shrivastava Registrar, IIT Roorkee. Roorkee-247667 Uttrakhand

There’s a rampant corruption in IIT Roorkee at all top level projects. This is one of the projects, where a lot of public money has been swallowed/ eaten up by Corrupt Administration/Professors .

During 2006-07 internet facility was provided in the hostels for the first time. But all in vain. They have installed very sub standard and poor quality Routers and Servers, resulting into poor internet Facilities. The students suffer a lot due to this, till date.
Please file an RTI for the same, and do not file it in my name.
Thanks in advance.

    There is a very interesting story in my University.
    Towers have been installed in the hostel premises for the Wi-Fi some a year ago. But there is no any connectivity to students at the hostels. Perhaps there is no any network.
    Whether it is possible to check them and digg the whole story. There in a hostel meant for Engineering College students, students have to install repeaters on their own cost to use the facility of wifi routers.
    Also please look at the tenders invited by the computer center director:
    http://www.amu.ac.in/tender.jsp?did=05

    It is strange that despite having the facilities students are not being provided.
    Please help us out.

    BTW the success story of IITR is motivating.
