| Hr Edu Minister assures to reconsider demands of GCET faculty | | GCET issue | | Sumit Sharma
JAMMU, Jan 11: Late but not the least, sensing the gravity of agony and resentment brewing among the teaching faculty in the Government College of Engineering and Technology (GCET), Jammu where 12 faculty members left job in absence of promotional rules and 6th pay commission, the state government reportedly is reconsidering their representation regarding their demands.
In the latest development, as per reports, Minister of Higher Education Abdul Gani Malik told a delegation of faculty members of GCET that their files containing grievances would be reprocessed. And the assurances came from the minister when a delegation of faculty members went to meet him in civil secretariat. However, some of faculty members foresee the 'assurance of minister' as old wine in new bottle.
Worthwhile to mention here that the same minister assured Chief Minister Omar Abdullah two years ago that the grievances of faculty members would be redressed by 2010.
It needs to mention here that in a charter of demands submitted to the Chief Secretary the charter stated that 12 faculty members had left job due to absence of rules for departmental promotion and implementation of 6th Pay Commission. Earlier, the strength of faculty was 71. Of 12 two faculty members were of Mechanical department who joined as Junior Engineer in the pay scale of Rs 4500 only. The shortage of staff would prove detrimental not to the students only but to the Jammuites, they said, adding the 6th Pay Commission which supposed to be implemented was deferred by government and clubbed it with the faculty members of AICTE approved polytechnics and MCI approved medical colleges.
Furthermore, the gross apathy on the part of government to GCET can be judged from the fact that for the last 15 years the post of GCET Principal was not advertised as per AICTE norms, the faculty members rued further adding that in absence of the permanent post of the Principal to GCET, the make shift arrangements has failed to serve the purpose to its expectations. |
