Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 30 : A meeting of the Jammu University SC/ST Employees Association held its meeting here today.
Association members alleged that step motherly treatment is being meted out to them in the University.
They said that the University has provided accommodation to all Unions/Forums/Associations for establishing their offices on the campus but has denied the same to their Association which is the only Government recognized body in the University.
Members also alleged that their number of representations submitted to the authorities in the last thirteen years, have remained.
They stated that even Interim Orders passed by the High Court given in case of category employees are not considered by the authorities.
Members said that since 2008, the University Grants Commission has, several times, given instructions to the University authorities to provide membership to SCs & STs in the competent bodies like University Council, Syndicate, Academic Council, Establishment Committee, etc. but no step has ever been taken by them to comply with the instructions.
Members further said that it is quite apparent from the seniority lists of Library Professional Assistants issued by the administration, that the quota reserved for the SCs & STs in promotions, have not, till date, been filled up which is a sheer violation of reservation rules and the law declared by the Apex Court in this regard.
Association, as such, demanded that the backlog quota for the said categories be got calculated from the day the University started providing reservation and be filled up immediately. They appealed the Vice-Chancellor to pay attention towards their matters. |
