Item 1: Vision BORI:
The recommendation of the EB (EBR/3a/13.01.2010) with regard to the
proposal received from Dr. Veena Mandrekar, for a museum, digitization of
manuscripts and a website was taken up. Deshpande, Patwardhan, Dhadphale,
Gadgil and Dhavlikar participated. The discussion of the RC meeting held on
December 15, 2009, was pointed out. It was explained that the proposal does not
speak of any money concern but only assistance in the form of expertise from the
Michigan State University. This issue is also linked to the proposal from RGSTC
which is only for the Museum of Ancient Indian Science and the digitization
proposal earlier submitted to the DIT which has the scope for a grant of Rs. 2
Crores which will not be approved by the govt of India till BORI gives the
clarification.
The following Resolution was passed:
i) A letter be sent to Dr. Mandrekar saying that “We are
interested in a museum, which among other things will exhibit
manuscripts. Let us know in what manner you are going to help us and
what will be the role of the BORI. Also, what will be the cost to BORI
for your help and the cost to BORI from implementing other aspects”
ii) In the meantime BORI should study requirements of
finance, technical support, space and staff, and issues like credit and
revenue gains from the project.
iii) website and digitization can be started early, but the
museum has to be integrated with all construction projects of BORI
iv) BORI should, also start dialogue with RGSTC and revive
the proposal with DIT
Item 2: Recommendations of the EB: Mrs. Dhadphale, Shri Patwardhan Shri.
Arun Barve Shri. B. G. Joshi
The Chairman: Chart of the recommendations of the EB is prepared. This
demonstrates that some important items are not brought before the RC in the
past, at the same time we appreciate that all items of EB need not be brought to
RC.
At present there is no method by which to ensure that authority of the RC is not
violated
Earlier a procedure was suggested that the resolutions of the EB be referred to
the RC Chair within 15 days or they become null and void. This is not to delay
implementation but for information only.
Members opined that this should be taken as a resolution. Dr More moved the
resolution as follows: All resolutions of the EB be informed to the Chairman of the
RC within 15 days and they should not be implemented before that. Financial
responsibility of resolutions that are not informed to the Chairman of the
Regulating Council will be that of the Hon. Secretary, Executive Board and the
Treasurer.
The resolution was put to vote. Except Prof. Nalini Dhadphale, Prof. M. K.
Dhavalikar and Shri. Arun Barve all members supported; and the above
resolution was passed:

Item 3: Deputy-Chief- Editorship of the Mahabharata: Cultural Index: Dr. Panse,
Prof. Dhadphale, Prof. Dhavalikar, Shri Patwardhan and Prof. Joshi participated.
The Chairman proposed that she is willing to work as the Deputy-Chief-
Editor of the Mahabharata: Cultural Index. She left the Chair and requested Pt. V.
A. Gadgil to assume it. Pt. Gadgil assumed the Chair and the business of the
meeting continued.
The related issue was that the EB had passed resolution dated .... to appoint
Smt. Bhate as Chief Editor, for Mahabharat project for which EB did not seek
approval of RC and the resolution became ultra-vires. In RC meeting of June
2009, a ref was made to such step and the action of EB was resolved as ultra-
vires and it was agreed that Dr Mehendale would continue as general-editor and
Dr Panse as superintendent. Accordingly a report was made to the GB
mentioning Dr Mehendale as Editor-general and Dr Panse as superintendent.
Thus as of this date there are only these two posts which are validly created and
filled.
Prof. Bhate stated that Dr. Mehendale informed his inability to work further and
thus the position was created. This plea was unacceptable as Dr Mehendale still
continues to work on the project of Mahabharata.
Prof. Joshi felt BORI should have two positions, the General Editor and a Joint
General Editor as in the Sanskrit Dictionary Project in the Deccan College. Dr.
Panse opined the same.
Other members urged that while this decision was pending Dr Panse should go
ahead with publication of the work done so far.
Prof. Dhadphale said that for such publication only the name of the scholar who
wrote the entry should be given under the entry.
Smt. Mehendale stated that the project needs support, both academic and
administrative, she was offering the administrative help while the aademic
assitance can be provided only by those whom Dr Mehendale approves as
academician.
Smt. Bhate said that she had done the work of the letter “A” in the Index of
Proper Names, while Dr Mehendale has been requested to work on “Aa”, and a
fascicule of the work of “A” will be ready by February.
Shri Patwardhan and Dr Panse again urged that the work cannot be accepted
unless approved by Dr mehendale. It was pointed out that the opinion of Prof. M.
A. Mehendale was not sought before appointing the Chief Editor.
Prof Bhate again claimed that Dr. Mehendale has desired that she should be in
that position and there shall be a setback if members did otherwise.
This remark was strongly resented and the chairman ruled that since meeting
was coming to end status quo as before the EB resolution be maintained till
further decision.
______________________
The Chair was again assumed by Smt. Leena Mehendale and the
business of the meeting continued.
The letter received from Pt. V. A. Gadgil regarding the articles published
one after the other in the Daily Loksatta was read.
Dr. Deshpande: Due action on the complaints expressed in the said articles was
already taken by the EB, and a statement on the same is decided to be brought
before the EB by Prof. Bhate.
Prof. M. G. Dhadphale and Shri. Shyam Satpute: No statements should be made
in the press, only improvement of the BORI should be done.
The Chairman: May information be given to the RC. Stock of bound books and
forms in the Press should be taken.
Pt. Gadgil: I and Shri. Patwardhan may be allowed to work for that.
Shri. Patwardhan: I would work only if allowed to work. It should not be the case
like the opposition faced in cleaning of the garbage in the campus.
Shri. B. G. Joshi: The institutional setup should not be disturbed even for a noble
cause.
The Chairman: May the Hon. Secretary prepare a report on the publications of
the BORI within a month, with the help of 2-3 members if she requires their help.
______________________
Prof. M. G. Dhadphale circulated a letter containing his police complaint
on the receipt of a letter of threat. The Chairman said that the police may do their
work.

Item 1: Condolence:
RCR/2/15.01.2010 (adjourned and held on 15.02.2010):
Resolved that this meeting of the Regulating Council puts on record its deep sense
of sorrow on the unfortunate death of victims of the bomb blast that took place in
German Bakery, Pune, on February 13, 2010.
______________________
Item 2: Deputy-Chief- Editorship of the Mahabharata: Cultural Index:
The Chairman proposed that Pt. V. A. Gadgil, Vice-Chairman should act as
Chairman and Smt. Maitreyi as secretary till this said item is under discussion.
Members agreed; Pt. Gadgil assumed Chair; and business of the meeting continued.
The Chairman appealed for observance of decorum and discussion without malice.
He praised the work of Prof. M. A. Mehendale as the General Editor of the
Mahabharata: Cultural Index and called for a durable policy with regard to the
Editorship and succession. Just as Prof. M. G. Dhadphale has volunteered to assist
in the edition of one volume of the Cultural Index, other scholars should come
forward to assist the editing of other volumes.
Dr. Sadanand More suggested that Academic persons who can devote their time for
this work should be appointed in responsible positions even if means taking them
from outside.
Smt. Leena Mehendale once again drew attention to the events that took place in
surreptios proposed appointment of Prof. Saroja Bhate as the Chief Editor and the
reversal of the same and continuation of Prof. M. A. Mehendale as the General
Editor. She appealed that Prof. Mehendale should be provided with assistance as
required by him, and any policy decision in this regard should be taken by the RC
and not the EB. The resolution of the EB appointing Prof. Bhate was made in
December 2008 and it came before the RC in June 2009. Moreover, there is no
clarity in the reasons why this resolution was made. Thus status quo should be
maintained in this regard.
Minutes of the Meeting of the Regulating Council: February 15, 2010
Page 2 of 4
The Chairman Supported the view of Smt. Leena Mehendale.
Shri. Arun Barve Prof. S. D. Joshi Prof. M. K. Dhavalikar Dr. R. M. Abhyankar
Shri. Patwardhan, Shri. G. T. Wategaonkar participated. It was agreed that we
work with consensus, propriety of affairs and also prepare for succession
management. Prof. Mehendale should continue the work and select his successors
with all freedom. The search should not end with just 1 or 2 names. Administration
should have dialogue with him and arrange for all the Administrative and academic
support plus involve him in selection of good academic successor.
Smt Bhate claimed that Prof. Mehendale had indicated her as his successor choice
in 2007 and hence EB appointed her in 2008 as Chief Editor. She put scholars to
work on the project whose contracts would continue till March 31, 2010.
RC members re-uttered their objection to EB usurping RC’s powers whereupon she
indicated that RC members would “face consequences” and the project work would
be stopped.
The Chairman asked for withdrawal of these remarks which she did. The Chairman
instructed that work of Prof. Mehendale should not be disturbed.
Smt. Leena Mehendale pointed out that Prof. Mehendale’s letter, that is referred to
by Prof. Bhate, is not on the record. Let it come on record and let some members of
RC speak to Prof. Mehendale. Only then RC can and should decide. It is also not
true to claim that the work has stopped since Prof. Mehendale is attending institute
and working. All major decisions like appointment of the Chief Editor should be made
by the RC and not by the EB.
Prof. Nalini Dhadphale supported that decision should be taken only by discussion
with Prof. Mehendale.
Prof. G. U. Thite and Prof. Sadanand More suggested that essential qualifications for
the various positions should be finalized. Criteria for any appointment should be
clear.
After some more discussion following resolution was passed:
RCR/3/15.01.2010 (adjourned and held on 15.02.2010):
Resolved that a Committee comprising the following members be and is hereby
appointed to review the working of the Mahabharata Project: (1) Prof. P. G. Lalye
(Chairman); (2) Prof. M. G. Dhadphale; (3) Prof. G. U. Thite; (4) Dr. G. T. Panse; (5)
