JAMMU, Sept 22: Medical Teachers Association (MTA) has urged the Government to adopt ‘The Model of Dynamic Assured Career Progression’ to solve the promotion problem in the Department.
While welcoming the recent proposal of the Government to make the amendments in the Gazetted Recruitment Rules of 1979, thereby decreasing the promotional period to three years at each step, MTA members in a meeting held here hoped that when enforced these amendments shall solve the promotional problem in the Departments, where posts are available, but in case of routine promotions, they appealed the Government to consider an alternative method.
They alleged that all the faculty members do not get an equal chance of promotion due to limited available posts in superior hierarchy, and hence get stagnant at various levels for a longer period depriving them of getting a superior post as well as grade.
The MTA members demanded the Government to adopt ‘The Model of Dynamic Assured Career Progression’, as adopted by Rajasthan and other Central institutions, which assures a faculty to get promoted to next post and grade irrespective of availability of post. While the existing Time Bound Promotion Scheme enables a faculty member to reach the highest grade in 29 years as against the 13 years through routine promotions, that too is deprived of status of that grade, providing only monetary benefit, they added.meeting also urged the Government to give due weightage to their qualification, experience and nature of work. It also took up the issue of re-designation of lectures on the pattern of Degree Colleges and urged the Government to take necessary steps in this direction.
It was also informed to the members that the MTA delegation led by Dr Tariq Azad had approached the Vice Chancellor of Jammu University to seek timely payment of TA/DA to external examiners, who assured them to redress the issue.
Later, all the members paid homage to Dr Randeep Singh, a third year scholar of Pathology Department, who recently lost his life under mysterious circumstances.
