SKUAST-TAJ demands Special Package from Centre for sanction of much required faculties 8/9/2019 10:30:45 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Aug 9: While appreciating the Prime Minister's move for putting J&K under Central Law, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology - Teaching Association Jammu (SKUAST-TAJ) demands special package from Central Govt. for sanction of much required Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of Dairy Technology and Department of Seed Science Technology, as the proposal made hostage to the process of seeking repeated queries for the last 14 years by the State Government. According to the President SKUAST-TAJ Dr. Vikas Sharma, the university had vigorously pursued the matter and replied to all queries with regard to required staff strength and budget estimates for the response of concerned authorities, but there was zero progress on the matter. The persons at the helm of affairs in the State Government administration made mockery of this only farm and professional University of the Jammu Division as SKUAST Kashmir has added five more faculties to its strength viz., Faculty of Horticulture, Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of Dairy Technology, Faculty of Fisheries and Faculty of Forestry in the last fourteen years and this is a matter of glaring example of discrimination with Jammu.", said President SKUAST-TAJ Dr. Vikas Sharma in a press statement. He further informed that the above mentioned issue regarding the much needed additional faculties of SKUAST-Jammu has been highlighted many times in the leading newspapers of Jammu and Kashmir. Moreover, Teaching Association of SKUAST-Jammu (SKUAST-TAJ) deliberated the matter several times with concerned authorities. Despite of all these efforts, submissions, communications and representations, the State Govt. has not sanctioned these much required additional faculties of SKUAST -Jammu till date due to lack of funds The meeting was attended by Dr. P.K. Rai-Joint Secretary, Dr. Devinder Sharma-Publicity Secretary, Dr. Rajeev Bharat-Treasurer, Dr. Jai kumar, Dr Poonam Parihaar, Dr Amitesh Sharma and other executives of TAJ.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
