| JU SC/ST Employees Association highlights grievances, raises demands | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 28: The Jammu University SC/ST Employees Association held its meeting here, today. The Association members said that the Registrar Professor Manoj K. Dhar has annoyed them as their meeting was fixed by him on 26.3.2014 at 2.30 p.m. in his office for listening to their grievances and accordingly, they reached there in time and remained standing outside his office for about two hours but the Registrar didn't turn up in the office.
Thereafter, the Association highlighted grievances of SC/ST employees working in various offices of the University and said that the reservation roster has, several times, been tampered by the Establishment Branch with an object to deprive the SC/ST employees to avail promotional benefits granted to them under the Constitution. They further stated that the University Grants Commission vide D.O. Letter No. 2-1/88 (SCT) dated 26.3.1988 suggested for appointment of Standing Committee by the Vice-Chancellors of the respective Universities under their chairmanship for ensuring effective implementation of the policies and programmes of the Govt. of India, the UGC and the State Govt. in respect of SCs & STs and to suggest measures to achieve the objectives and targets laid down by the Govt. of India, UGC and the State Govt. and accordingly, the then Vice-Chancellor, Prof. M.L. Lakhanpal too constituted a Standing Committee under his chairmanship which met on 10.8.1990 only once and outcome of the meeting was not made known to any SC/ST employee of the University. Again at the request of the Association, the Vice-Chancellor on 28.10.1992 constituted a new Standing Committee under his chairmanship alongwith other eleven members but this Committee held no sitting since its inception. Consequent upon recognition of Jammu University SC/ST Employees Association by the Government of J&K, the Association members passed a resolution to withdraw their primary membership and union fund from the Jammu University Non-Teaching Employees Union. However, they would provide their support to the later, if asked for, in its struggle for the general cause of the employees, they added. |
