Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV)'s UTD Campus in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, lacks a proper drainage and sewage system despite housing 28 academic departments and institutes. The university initiated an open tender to construct a comprehensive drainage network, but only one private agency submitted a proposal. This has sparked controversy regarding the tender process, with members of the Executive Council objecting to the single-bidder approach and questioning the fairness of the pricing.
The university's finance department also raised concerns about the procedure. Some council members suggested involving public sector agencies like the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) or the Public Works Department (PWD) for the project, as these entities typically charge around 6% service charges, compared to the private bidder's offer of approximately 3%.
A three-member committee was formed to investigate the matter and submit its findings within 15 days.
