Uncertainty prevails over fate of contractual College lecturers: Dr Amar Chand
11/5/2019 8:20:24 PM
Early Times Report

Jammu, Nov 5: Uncertainty is prevailing in respect of college contractual lecturers in Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh (erstwhile state of J&K) and their future is hanging in balance, this was stated by Dr. Amar Chand Bhagat, Chairman, J&K Mission Lok Adhikaar in a statement today.
Elaborating further he told that in view of enormous vacant posts of college lecturers in various Govt. Degree Colleges and also consequent upon the opening of many new Govt. Degree Colleges across erstwhile state of Jammu & Kashmir, the then state government appointed contractual college lecturers on academic arrangement from time to time and as such, at present, there are approximately 2500 such contractual college lecturers throughout erstwhile state of Jammu & Kashmir (now two Union Territories).
The temporarily appointed class of educated rather highly educated class of youth are leaving no stone unturned in discharging their duties with utmost dedication and hard work in view of the huge accumulated un-employment among the educated youth of erstwhile state and the successive state governments have had outrightly failed in providing jobs to the educated youth.
These helpless educated people are working sincerely and thereby so many degree colleges have been made to function and the future of students falling under respective areas of these colleges is being protected and safeguarded particularly in the areas where such Govt. Degree Colleges have been opened newly.
Unfortunate part of the story is that often selfish and opportunist politicians to fetch votes make big announcements such as opening of new Govt. Degree College(s) in so and so areas but when their purpose of fetching votes is fulfilled, they even forget as to which area they had made the announcement of opening of a new Govt. Degree College and therefore question of creating posts of college lecturers, did not arise.
However, the then state government of Jammu & Kashmir coined a new policy of appointing contractual college lecturers and these highly educated people are exploited for a meager amount which is promised to be paid to them and unfortunately even in the appointment letter of such appointment there is no mention of this meager amount of salary proposed to be paid.
Again see the height of things that at one stage of time the Higher Education Department of the government of J&K state issued one order No. 472-HE of 2019 dated 23-08-2019 whereby re-designating college contractual lecturers as Need Based Teachers like daily wagers and consequently these hapless people were forced to resort to agitation and Dharnas particularly in Jammu Division.
"I appeal to the newly appointed Lieutenant Governor of J&K- Girish Chander Murmu to kindly take sympathetic consideration about the miserable plight of these college contractual lecturers", he added.
