| In JK varsities, BAS fails to make its presence felt | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 26: Even as most of the government offices in J&K have adopted the Biometric Attendance System (BAS) to keep check on punctuality of the officials, there are many universities, including the Jammu University, where the administration is virtually sleeping on the adoption of BAS.
The authorities of the universities like JU, Kashmir University, Central University of Jammu, Central University of Kashmir, etc. have adopted dilly-dallying tactics to keep away the BAS, thus plunging the varsities into a kind of anarchy, where there is no check on the punctuality of teaching and non-teaching faculty in the campus. Sources said there is already a conflict among different lobbies of teaching as well as non-teaching staff of the universities in the state with regard to the adoption of BAS. "Voices of dissent have already started echoing in the campuses against the attempt by the university administration to implement BAS," said sources, adding that the administration of these universities was attempting to keep teaching faculty out of the BAS while bringing all the officers and subordinate administrative staff in its ambit.
A member of non-teaching staff of a university in Jammu, wishing not to be named, said that the university was hell-bent on discriminating against the non-teaching officials.
"They want some to be in the ambit of BAS but keeping others outside its ambit, which means the approach of the administration is not sincere towards its implementation," said sources. |
