? Secular Panel (SP) led by well-known educationist Dr Ved Prakash Mishra won 12 out of 32 seats in the recently concluded Nagpur University Elections (Senate and Academic Council) thereby defeating Baban Taywade’s Young Teacher’s Association (YTA), BJP-backed Shikshan Manch (SM) and Nagpur University Teachers Association (NUTA). YTA, SM and NUTA won 11, 7 and 2 seats respectively.

? The counting of votes, which started at 10 am on Monday, continued for more than 30 hours and was handled by the team of Puran Meshram (Chief Election Officer), Dr GS Khadekar, DR Shrikant Komawar and Dr CD Deshmukh.

? While, SP, which won the election in 2011 as well, consisted of leaders like MLC Prakash Gajbhiye and congress leader Abhijeet Wanjari, SM was led by Dr Kalpana Pande.

? Six candidates were elected unopposed. These candidates are Dr Varsha Dhurve, Dr Aasawari Durge, Sudhir Fulzele, Dr Sanjay Dudhe, Vasant Rathod and Chandan Singh Rotele.

? YTA is now likely to form an alliance with old allies SM and NUTA for the upcoming graduate constituency polls to be held on February 4 and SP too is expected to join hands with groups of similar interests.
