| Conflicting signals on appointment of JU VC giving rise to further uncertainties | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, July 19: National Secular Front has alleged that the government is delaying the appointment of the vice chancellor because of its prejudiced approach towards Jammu region.'
In the protest held today led by its president Vikas Sharma, NSF activists carried different types of placards in hands and raised slogans against the UPA-Govt.
NSF member regretted that out of 15 Central Universities approved by Government of India, it was only the Central University of Jammu which was being ignored and it’s launching overdue much to the bother and frustration of students, educated youth and common masses with no reason being given for the delay.
Addressing the gathering, Vikas Sharma said the mystifying and in-ordinate delay in start of university had thousands of students and scholars losing opportunity in seeking admission, pursuing other research courses and seeking employment in any premier educational institution.
He urged upon the government not to prepare pitch for another agitation by the people of Jammu.
Sharma said that the most ill-fated matter was the fact that the proposed site for Central University Campus at Samba included 3,000 kanals of Forest Land which had not even been acquired by the government.
He mentioned that the Forest Department had made a claim of around Rs. 20 crore as compensation for the said Forest Land use which had not been paid by the State Government.
He said non-acquisition of even the identified land speak volumes about the casual and unconcerned approach of State Government towards Jammu based issues.
He informed that while Kashmir Central University was functional despite adverse security scenario with post graduate courses in ITI, MBA, and English being conducted in full swing and several other post graduate courses like integrated law courses, convergent journalism and PG in Mathematics and Economics having been processed for introduction, the fate of Jammu Central University still hanged in balance.
He said that conflicting signals were emanating from different quarters regarding the appointment of Vice-Chancellor of the said Jammu Central University giving rise to further uncertainties and misgivings among the people of Jammu.
He further stressed that the local aspirations of the public for appointment of local Vice-Chancellor needed to be honored as Jammu had several eminent scholars and educationists of repute, who had established their credentials at national and even international level.
NSF warned State and Central Government if the Central University is not started this academic session then NSF will continues hold protest demonstration against government.
Among those who were present in the protest includes, Surjit Choudhary, Ravi Choudhary, Parshotam Singh, Zulfkar, Anil Kumar, Manjit Singh, Sunil, Ansari, Shafqat Malik, and others.
