| JU's human rights course fails to attract J&K Police, Army, CRPF | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Jan 27: After having been given-up by Kashmir University (KU), questions are being raised on the continuation of Human Rights course in Jammu University, which is witnessing little or no interest from police officials, paramilitary personnel and Army.
None wants to have a diploma in Human Rights and Duties Education from Jammu University. And if at someone is interested, it is the ex-student leaders or scholars of the university. Law School which continues to be part of Jammu University (JU) offers post-graduate diploma course in Human Rights and Duties Education. Initially, a total of 30 seats were allotted in the Post-graduate Diploma Course in the Human Rights and Duties Education in the law school.
Out of these 30 seats, 5 were kept reserved for persons belonging to persons belonging to police and paramilitary forces as well as Army. But with virtually no admission or few admissions in the course during the initial years, university decided to reduce the number of seats. From 30 seats, the number was brought down to 15. Of this, 8 seats were kept for general category students, 1 each for SC and ST categories while 5 seats were kept reserved for armed forces, police, media and NGOs dealing with Human Rights and Duties Education.
However, even this did not work for two reasons. One was that the university preferred to give advertisements in select newspapers and secondly, the process of admission being cumbersome attracted few or no individuals to the course in the University. During the academic session 2014-15, only two army officers applied for admission in the post-graduate diploma course in Human Rights and Duties Education with proper No Objection Certificate (NOC) from Army against 5 seats reserved for this category of applicants.
The University failed to attract police officers and other individuals from the paramilitary police for the reasons best known to it. The course continued to remain a non-starter. But the Director of Law School vide note no. TLS/JU/14/147 Dated 18-08-2014 through Dean Academic Affairs requested the vice-chancellor for converting the remaining 3 seats under security forces quota into open category for the benefit of the students.
The Director further proposed that without wasting any further time, admission should be given to students desirous of joining this course in the law school. He proposed this despite knowing well that last date for admission had already passed and only special permission from the VC would pave way for the admission of the students. VC agreed and three students were admitted in the category meant for the armed forces, police and paramilitary forces alongwith media and NGOs. Despite these admissions which continue to be under scrutiny, the course has failed to attract people from the police, army and paramilitary background. |
