The Institute comes under the Human Resource Development Ministry and it is understood that Chouhan has been removed as he campaigned for Congress in Sidhi against the HRD Minister, Arjun Singh's daughter, Veena Singh.     

All attempts to contact Arjun Singh on phone from here for his comments on the removal went in vain.
