Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 20: Under the nose of Governor N.N. Vohra and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Jammu University is shelling out lakhs of rupees as salary to several professors who are neither taking classes nor bother to visit the department they belong to even once in a year.
Students of Economics department were surprised when Prof. Rajinder Gupta was found strolling in the corridors of the department. They only know that Gupta is a professor of Economics department and is being paid salary by the University. Beyond this, they know nothing about Gupta. A student of Economics department told Early Times that a scholar of Gupta has been taking their class.
If the students are to be believed, Mohammed Qadeer, who is JRF and a scholar of Gupta has been taking classes from day one. Sources did inform Early Times that Rajinder Gupta is associated with UGC and is unable to find time to take classes. However, they failed to explain nature of assignments that UGC has given Gupta and which are preventing him from taking even a single class in the department which has been paying him hefty.
Closely behind him is Prof. Jasbir Singh. If the sources are to be believed, he too has put his scholar Chinki Sangral on job, who is taking classes on his behalf. Jasbir Singh does not take classes even he is in his room in the department, said a student. He maintained that Chinki is taking classes. Though he is JRF but no rule or statute allows a Professor to skip classes and put his scholar on job.
Dr. Nirmal Singh, who is a BJP leader and probable candidate from Basholi, has also not been visiting the department since the Lok Sabha elections. A student said that Nirmal is often on tour and the department is forced to make alternate arrangements. Curious is the case of Prof. Dhian Singh who is known in the University more as sports expert and less as a professor from the department of Economics. He was transferred and posted as Director Physical Education six years ago. Since then, according to students he has even forgotten the room allotted to him in the department.
Dhian Singh, according to students is no more a subject teacher but a Physical Education expert. After Dhian, Director Colleges Prof. Deshbandhu Gupta is another professor who too does not like taking classes. He is from the Commerce department and since the day he has joined the office of Director Colleges, students too confirmed that he has not been taking classes.
A known scientist Prof. Manoj Dhar who has been assigned the task of Registrar too has been missing the department, said the students. They said that even Manoj is not happy and wants to be shifted but none is listening to him. University sources informed Early Times that all the Vice-Chancellors preferred remaining mum over the issue and have been allowing them to miss their classes for trivial reasons.
No Vice-Chancellor has ever sought an explanation from them for missing their classes since none has ever bothered to find out how the departments are being run and what is happening in each department, said the sources. All the VC's have preferred sitting in their cosy room and dictating terms, said a scholar. He maintained that if a VC takes one round of the entire university any day in the afternoon, he would find half of the faculty members missing.
