Most of the schools and colleges have recommended the names of the Heads of the Department of Sports Department to vote in the Vidarbha Hockey Association’s (VHA) elections. However, for reasons best known to the authorities of Hislop College, the name of the Head of the Sports Department Dr Kalpana Jadhav was replaced with that of the member of the Management Council of Hislop College Archana Singh.
Sources, on condition of anonymity, said that Dr Kalpana Jadhav is a very dynamic lady and has brought laurels for the city and the college on many occasions. She was the one who has brought up the sports department to this level from that of neglect. However, recommending the name of a member of the Management Council raises several eyebrows. Sources added that though the Management of Hislop College reserves the right to recommend anyone, why they not felt the need to recommend Dr Kalpana’s name is probably a result of internal politics. Rachana Singh is the Headmistress of St Ursula High School and Junior College. She is said to be sister of the former Principal of Hislop College Ashish Bhelwa. After one of the members of the management council passed away, Rachana Singh managed to get her appointed in his place.
