As per a Dainik Bhaskar investigation published on 31 October 2026, serious irregularities are alleged in the staff records of Mahatma Gandhi College in Banswara, Rajasthan. The report claims that around 70% of the staff was kept on paper only for Rs 15,000-25,000, and that when a team visited, the staff list was not shown and only 11 members were found on the spot.
