Balasaheb Ovhal, assistant deputy director of education, Pune division, said that this year, there were no applications requesting shutting down of college divisions. “Last year, 5-10 colleges had less students in the Arts faculty. The colleges had only five or so students in the Arts division and they found it was not viable to teach such a low number of students. So, they requested us to be allowed to close down the classes. We had to shift these students to other colleges,” said Ovhal. “This time, we have asked the colleges to give an undertaking that whatever the number of students, they will not request to shut down divisions later,” he added.
