Quality education goes for a toss under the present regime!
Jammu’s highly qualified engaged as contractual lecturers without wages for five months
3/3/2022 11:37:44 PM


Early Times Report

Jammu, Mar 3: For the past five months, the qualified youth of Jammu engaged as the academic arrangements are without wages for the past months, making one ponder over the dismal state of education the Jammu and Kashmir are reeling under at present.
Reports inform that highly qualified youth engaged as contractual lecturers in various degree colleges of Jammu are moving from pillar to post for the disbursement of their wages. However, their pleas are falling on the deaf ears with their livelihood getting severely affected by the administration’s indifferent attitude. “If the government especially the higher education department has no money to pay our wages, one wonders why it had to engage the highly qualified youth to serve in various degree colleges. This is the gross human rights abuse that a highly qualified youth is discharging the duties and is not being paid a single penny for the past five months. If this is not irony, one wonders what else is,?” says a contractual.
“The government does pomp and show by opening up a degree college at almost every place. It is the hard work of the contractual person who in spite of being extremely qualified works on meager pay. Now when the government is denying even those very wages, what else would be the scenario,” says another contractual lecturer.
Meanwhile, sources within the dispensation divulged that the persons engaged in various government degree colleges in Jammu have not been given any wages for the past five months and that the issue is under consideration at present.
The official who divulged the details didn’t come on record for the quote, however. As per the sources, the selection list of more than seven subjects duly forwarded to the administration by the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC) has been kept in limbo for more than a month. No forwarded movement vis-à-vis the posting of the selected candidates is being witnessed.
Sources divulged further that even when the selected candidates have submitted their verification rolls in the higher education department, same aren’t even forwarded to the concerned quarters for the scrutiny that could have paved way for the posting of the selected candidates. Though after several pleas made to the helmsmen, no concrete action to date has been taken. The dilatory mode of functioning in the government which calls shots at the present time was the main reason for such a worrisome trend.
