The owner of the institute, 'Dr.' Priya Ranjan Trivedi has been running a fake degree/certificate racket and arrested by cops.[1][2] Following are the reasons:
It claims to offer Master's programmes affiliated with
Global Open University. But, a private state university does not have the jurisdiction to offer distance education courses beyond the state territory.[3]
In 2003, an official complaint was raised against the the Employment news for publishing misleading/deceptive/strange/fraudulent advertisements of this institute among others. The
Press Council of India took the decision in favour of the complainant.[4]
It seems to be like a humble environmental organization, but as per their website they offer courses is 'astrology' , 'urine therapy' and 'sex therapy' and over 800 such bogus courses.[5]
Its physical address is non-existent as per recent google reviews.[6]
All references cited in this article are redirecting to a different/dead website.
It's claim that they are supported by Government of India is not backed with citation and the claim of approval by
AICTE, is most likely fake.
I think the reason that it is not listed among the UGC fake institute list as the owner seems to have strong political connections with the ruling party in India.[7]
As per another google review, one visitor was told that
New Delhi campus has been shifted to
Nagaland. Interestingly, the
Global Open University located Nagaland is also owned by the same 'Dr.' Priya Ranjan Trivedi. Now, he has started another institute in
Kolkata with the similar modus operandi.[8]
Conclusion: In my opinion, having an article on Wikipedia, give this so called 'institute' some sort of credibility. Hence, the article should be deleted as soon as possible.
User:Muhandes, hope you can help! Thank you.
Comment The pertinent questions are (a) Does the school exist? (b) Is any of the substantive information in the article true and verifiable (
WP:V)? (c) Does the school meet the notability guidelines (
WP:N)? While discussion of the school's legitimacy, if it's challenged in reliable sources, is relevant to the article's content (subject to
WP:RS and
WP:NPOV), it isn't relevant to the article's existence.

The school claims to exist in Paryavaran Complex,
New Delhi, but that is not true, as per 3 recent google reviews. It exists only on website, to fool people and give them online degree/certificate in 'sex therapy' etc. in $45 bucks. I am surprised why this article was not speedy deleted under spam.

The article claim of its physical location in Delhi is not true, as explained earlier.
The first line of the article, "The Indian Institute of Ecology and Environment (IIEE) is a Government of India sponsored, autonomous" is without any citation. It is in fact a hoax.
The article claim of publishing 'over 150 books and monographs' and 'conducted over 180 national and international congresses' also lack citations.
The article claims to offer "various master's degree courses, in affiliation with The Global Open University, Nagaland' is without citing any link of accreditation agency. It is illegal to provide any degree or diploma without approval of UGC or AICTE in India. The university is blacklisted and unrecognized to offer such courses.
Delete Institute website is not hosted on .res.in or .ac.in or .edu.in domains - which is mandatory for India-based educational institutes. -

Delete you could get a certificate from your cat! No legitimate institute offers this many courses particularly as few have anything to do with ecology. As a note it is weird they managed to get a .edu email. I googled the person who owns the domain I would check each of these entities. Apparently, the guy PR Trivedi, is a laproscopic surgeon at world laproscopy hospital, "Prof. Trivedi holds Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral qualifications in Engineering, Management, Human Rights and Environmental Laws. The three Encyclopaedias authored by him on Environment (30 Volumes), Disaster Management (20 Volumes) and Sustainable Development (50 Volumes) are used by all the important libraries of the world."
Speedy delete, for now: Falls under
CSD G3. If there is any significant coverage about how this "institute" is a hoax, then recreate the article and rewrite so it talks about the hoax.

By the way is that hospital real, I can't actually tell. Couldn't find it in pubmed, unlikely to be academic hospital.
I would hazard that any institute here is fake too.

It is completely fake too, all of the doctor's have licenses that don't match the official database and internally inconsistent profiles!

Exactly! I tagged it initially with
WP:SPEEDY under spam. The request was declined, then with
WP:PROD, again declined. Hope it gets it deleted soon under
WP:AfD. But, the question is why this hoax was created,
WP:PAID? and how it survived for 6 years?
