A two-day residential workshop for Mumbai University staff on administration skills jointly organised by varsity along with Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini (RMP) was called off abruptly after just one session on Saturday morning. While participants were given technical glitch as a reason, it has started a new political controversy in varsity as Students organisations such as Yuva Sena and National Students Union of India (NSUI) have strongly opposed the workshop in collaboration with RMP which is RSS think-tank. The students'' organisations have also demanded the resignation of Vice-Chancellor of Mumbai University Dr Suhas Pednekar for collaborating with RMP even as it does not have any expertise in administrative skills training or education acts which were the objectives of the workshop.

The workshop was targetted at University's administration staff at assistant/deputy registrar or equivalent levels for training in administrative skills. The objectives included various sectors such as learning to write letters in government language, understanding the law and regulations governing university, general administrative and interpersonal communication skills among all. It was organised in RMP's campus in Uttan village in Bhayandar for a batch of 30 officers.
