subject as only then, students can be more aware and point out any discrepancy that may
arise in grading.

Parliamentarian, Students’ Senate opines that the Agenda item "Questions and Remarks" is

discussion on the same, he/she should submit it as an agenda item for the next meeting.

Ankit Bhutani | Convener
The members for COSHA are the President, Student Gymkhana (Chair), Convener, COSHA
(Hostel-In-Charge), two senators as senate nominees, President + one mess secretary from each
hall of residence, SBRA convener and one SBRA representative.
”

A discussion on the closed-door nature of the COSHA meetings took place but the Senate could not
reach a decision on keeping it closed door or open door. This discussion was deferred to the next
Meeting due to lack of time.
Item No. 13
Presentation of the Revised Gymkhana Budget.
Owing to the reduction of the matching grant, a revised budget allocation was proposed by the
Finance Committee. The proposed budget as circulated with the agenda was accepted by the Senate.
Further, regarding the distribution of SSF among Senators, the Senate decided that:
1. Each Senator elected through Gymkhana General Elections, 2012 held in February, 2012,
referred to as old Senator in the submitted document and hereafter, shall have Rs. 15,500
and the maximum that he/she can contribute to a single Rs. 3875.
2. Each Senator, elected through Gymkhana By-elections, 2012 held in September, 2012,
referred to as new Senator in the submitted document and hereafter, shall have Rs. 8500 and
the maximum he/she can contribute to a single event is Rs. 2125.
As the above distribution is likely to cause a negative balance with some old senators due to the
contributions made earlier, it was decided that the same would be taken care of by using the Buffer
in the Gymkhana Budget as the total negative balance amounted to less than Rs. 5000.
Item No. 14

The item was deferred for consideration in the next meeting of the Senate.
Item No. 15

Gymkhana Golden Jubilee Project as communicated by him in the 4 th Meeting of the Students’
Senate 2012-13 held on 19 th August, 2012. The money had been allotted with the Dean, Students’
Affairs alone as the PI.
Item No. 17
Discussion on the proposal to reinstate the contingency grant allotted for Institute
Assistantship granted students for the sum assured annually.
The proposal was presented in detail by Senator, PhD, V. Srinivasan, for the consideration of the
Senate. He informed the Senate that the contingency grant in no longer allotted to the students. He
requested that the issue be taken up with the Administration to re-instate the contingency grant. The
President, Students’ Gymkhana was directed to pursue to the matter with the administration.
Item No. 18
Discussion on the proposal to revise travel grant.
The items were presented in detail for the consideration of the Senate. It was decided that the
President would take up the request to revise the travel grant given for attending conferences.
Senator, UG Y9, Pratik Moona requested that travel to competitions of a scholastic nature where
the students are representing the Institute also be included in the purview of the grant.
The President raised the issue of generation of the funds, asking the proposing Senators to provide
some avenues for fulfilling the requirement.
An ad-hoc subcommittee was set up to finalize the amount they feel the travel grant should be
increased to, work out other modalities related to allotment of funds (for example- different grants
based on region of conference) and suggest some avenues for generation of funds. The committee
consists of the following students:

Games and Sports Council and any subsequent action to be taken.
The Convener informed the Senate that he had received a complaint letter from a Senator who
requested anonymity for fear of revengeful action, pertaining to the behavior of Mr. Yuvraj Dhillon,

Ankit Bhutani | Convener
The complainant had accused Mr. Yuvraj Dhillon of bribery, indiscipline, causing disrespect to the
Senate and misuse of power as the General Secretary, Games and Sports and had proposed a noconfidence
motion against the General Secretary.
At the outset of the discussion, it was noted that a no-confidence motion required one senate
member to propose and two senate members to second. Further, it was noted that due to the
anonymity of the letter, the writer could not propose a no-confidence motion without revealing
his/her identity.
Based on the discussion that took place, the senate opined that:
The comments made by the General Secretary in the 2 nd Special Senate meeting, 2012-13
which were taken as basis for charges of bribery by the complainant were not intended to
bribe anyone but rather for humor. However, the senate opined that no matter in what
spirit, such comments should not be made on the floor of the Senate.
Further, the senate opined that indeed the behavior of the General Secretary on the floor of
the senate was condemnable and he had been responsible for creating indiscipline in senate
meetings.
As nobody in the Senate agreed to propose or second the no-confidence motion suggested in the
complaint letter, the no-confidence motion was dropped.
Senator, UG Y9, Aman Haji proposed a censure motion against Mr. Yuvraj Dhillon, which was
seconded by Senators, UG Y9 Jyoti Gupta and Pratik Moona and Senator UG Y12, Chirag Gupta.
A vote by secret ballot was held, following which, the censure motion was passed by simple
majority.
The Senate has censured the General Secretary, Games and Sports Council for:
The comments made by him in the 2 nd Special Senate Meeting, 2012-13 offering treat and
getting attendance marked present in PE.
His general behavior on the floor of the senate causing indiscipline and grave disorder in the
senate proceedings.
Discussion on the request to hold a senate meeting in the week following
Antaragni to finish the pending agenda items of the meeting
The Convener accepted the request from several Senators to hold a senate meeting in the week
following Antaragni to finish the pending agenda items of the meeting.
The meeting was adjourned by the Convener, Students’ Senate at 1:30 AM

Supporting documents for Agenda item no. 16: Questions asked by Senator, Ph. D – Mr.
Pawan Kumar Nagar and the answers provided by the Convener, Students’ Senate
Question A. The Lyndogh committee recommendations for age restriction is applicable only in
institutes where political parties/student union participate in Student body elections (like ABVP,
BCSO supported students). However, in IIT Kanpur no such political parties are involved in
Student body election.
Answer A. Lyngdoh Committee report – page 38, line 1 clearly mentions that “It is to be noted
here that the Recommendations No. 3 through 10 will apply to all modes of student elections.” The
eligibility criterion for candidates comes under recommendation number 5 and hence applies to all
modes of student elections. Further, no separate document or any guideline within the report has
been found mentioning that these recommendations shall be applicable only for institutes where
political parties/student union participate. However, if any such official document which supports
this claim can be brought to the notice of the senate, I am sure the senate shall be willing to reconsider.
Question B. It is very heartening to know that the institute has approved Rs.1.5 crores for
Gymkhana Golden Jubilee celebrations. Pls provide me the copy of the proposal which was
submitted to the institute and also provide me copy of all the official communication /letter/office
order through which the amount was sanctioned by the institute.
Answer B. A copy of the proposal that was submitted is available at
https://docs.google.com/viewer?pid=explorer&srcid=0B4G98M18QVgLX2lRZlozZG

uqc1&a=v&rel=rar;r42;Golden+Jubilee+Proposal.pdf
Further, a scanned copy of the 2 letters through which the amount was sanctioned has been
placed on AP-5 and AP-6
Question C The sanctioned budget for Golden Jubilee is *for gymkhana (50 years celebration)*
which should be spent by the various executive wings of the gymkhana and not by the
president alone which is similar to the expenditure process of annual budget of the gymkhana. So,
why this process is not followed. Kindly provide details of any office order which clearly mentions
that the president alone can decide the expenditure and allotments and also under which clause of
student gymkhana constitutions it has been mentioned that the students senate can form any such
committee like the golden jubilee executive committee.
Answer C A project has been setup under the Dean, R & D for Gymkhana Golden Jubilee with the
Dean, Students’ Affairs as the PI. The money is being spent by all the councils and not by the
Students’ Senate| IIT Kanpur
10 | P a g e

Students’ Senate

AP-3
President alone. However, being the Chief Executive of the Students’ Gymkhana, the President is
entrusted with the ultimate responsibility of execution of all activities under the name of Students’
Gymkhana. Further, the President has the right to provide his recommendation regarding the
distribution just as anyone else in the Senate, but the final allocation has to be approved by the
Senate. The same was carried out in the 2nd Special Senate Meeting.
The Golden Jubilee Committee has been setup under the Presidential Council to assist him in the
successful organization of Golden Jubilee Celebrations. Article 5.04 a) of the Gymkhana
Constitution states that “The aim of the Presidential Council shall be to help the President in
discharging his/her duties and any other duty assigned by the Senate.”
Question D: As per the following clause in the gymkhana constitution, *4.04 Finance Committee
(FC)
a. The Primary aim of the Finance Committee is to manage the finances of the Students’ Gymkhana,
and it shall control and supervise the expenditures incurred by the executive wings of the
Gymkhana. It shall report to the Senate of Finances and Accounts periodically, as prescribed by the
Senate.*
*14. Payments will normally be made if the executive concerned verifies a bill and it has been
examined by the FC and approved/accepted* *( as mentioned in Apendix II)*Does the current FC
supervise and approve the expenditures of the Golden Jubilee Fund as the president who is
spending it now is under student gymkhana and is an head of executive wing of gymkhana. Kindly
provide supporting documents with regards to your answer..
Answer: As of now, the Finance Committee has informed that they have not received any bills so
far. However, in principle, all bills have to be approved by the Finance Committee. The Finance
Committee has been requested to make sure that this procedure is strictly followed.
Question E: Who is responsible for any discrepancy in the expenditures and mismanagement of
events in the golden jubilee. Kindly provide supporting documents which clearly mentions the
responsibility
Answer: As in all matters of Gymkhana, the policy decisions are always taken by the senate and the
complete legislative responsibility associated with the decisions lies with the Students’ Senate. The
responsibility to control and supervise the finances lies with the Finance Committee. Also, it is the
Students’ Senate| IIT Kanpur
11 | P a g e

Students’ Senate
Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur
Ankit Bhutani | Convener
AP-4
responsibility of the Finance Committee to point out to the Senate any discrepancies that they find
out regarding the expenditures which are being approved by it. Finally, the responsibilities related to
all the executive work lies with Golden Jubilee Committee, President, Students’ Gymkhana and
concerned executive in case of work related to a particular council.
Question F: Why was the expenditure on the opening ceremony was not ratified and shared to the
general body members prior to the event. Kindly provide supporting documents which clearly
mentions that the president can spend on an event prior to ratification of the budget and upto what
amount.
Answer: As the allotment of Rs. 5.5 lakhs was made specifically for the opening ceremony of
Gymkhana Golden Jubilee (ref. letter at AP-5), hence this was allowed only for the opening
ceremony. All the rest of the distribution had to be approved by the Senate and this approval was
carried out in the 2nd Special Senate meeting.
