Move reportedly linked to allegations raised by AKGCT
The special grade principal of Maharaja’s College, Ernakulam, Mathew George, has been transferred to Government Victoria College in Palakkad, and the special grade principal of the Palakkad college, Mercy Joseph, has been transferred to Maharaja’s as the new principal.
The transfer of Dr. George is reportedly linked to the allegations raised against him by the Association of Kerala Government College Teachers (AKGCT), widely perceived as a pro-Communist Party of India (Marxist) organisation.
The Directorate of Collegiate Education had ordered an inquiry into the allegations made by the AKGCT. But, Dr. George denied any knowledge of the allegations and said his transfer order did not mention any allegations.
