| FOR AZAD’S DREAM CAMPUS | | JU calls interviews, forgets about funds twice, then simply postpones | | Early Times report
Jammu, July 5: The second notification with in a span of six months to postpone the recruitments of the non-teaching staff for the Satellite campuses of the University of Jammu will no doubt result into vacant administrative chairs at the Bhaderwah campus but has once again uncovered the unplanned decisions of the University authorities related to these campuses on which the JU haven’t yet improved.
No doubt the much hyped Satellite campuses established by the University of Jammu to reach the people of Jammu region at their doorstep has suffered the government apathy and the University authorities have always been shifting the ball in the government’s court for the ineffectual condition of many of these campuses but in reality even the University authorities, who have been claiming much mileage on these campuses, themselves have been unable to provide the proper infrastructure for these campuses. And this time suffering the apathy of the University authorities is the dream campus of the former Chief Minister of the State Ghulam Nabi Azad, the Bhaderwah Campus, for which both the former Chief Minister and the University of Jammu gained a lot of mileage. The interview call for the 39 non-teaching posts, notified since July 2006, to be held on June 24-25 has once again been postponed to July 30-31, 2009. These 39 posts were notified in 2006 and a notification calling for applications was released by the Registrar of the University of Jammu in July 2006 but after that the interviews have not been conducted till now and this time it was for the fourth time that the interviews were postponed and surprisingly for the second time in the last six months.
The 39 posts include some important positions for the management and working of the campus like Assistant Programmer in Centre for IT enabled Services & Management, Assistant Programmers, Junior Assistants, Sanitary Inspector, Computer Assistants for which there have been number of strikes in the Bhaderwah campus but of no result as all the chairs still remain vacant. According to the sources, the delay in the recruitment is due to the lack of financial approval from the Finance Commissioner, who acts as the financial advisor to JU, for these posts but according to the Registrar, JU, G.S. Sambyal, the delay was unavoidable as the committee comprising of all the Rectors of the different campuses formulated to conduct the interviews could not congregate till now on the notified dates. “The Rector of Udhampur campus was away to Thailand to attend a conference and so the interviews could not take place in his absence” is the reason quoted by Sambyal for the latest postponement of the interviews.
Bhaderwah Campus which got the top priority among all the campuses opened by Jammu University for being in the constituency of the then Chief Minister of the State, Ghulam Nabi Azad is now seems to be suffering after his tenure is over. The University authorities are yet to admit that the inauguration of the remote campuses was an unplanned and a haphazard step by the University of Jammu which till date have not been improved upon by them and this is well reflected from the fact that the JU authorities till now have not even been able to fetch a financial approval for the posts created by them for these campuses three years back.
