JAMMU, Oct 10: For the second consecutive day, members of Jammu University Teachers Association suspended the class work and held a dharna infront of the Administration Block on the campus in protest against the proposed implementation of UGC amended regulation 2013.
The protesting JUTA members raised slogans in support of the demand for deliberations on the amended regulation before its implementation, which they claimed would adversely affect the teaching fraternity.
Addressing the dharna, JUTA president Prof J P Singh Joorel accused the JU administration of showing exceptional interest for implementation of the amended guidelines without deliberating its effects on the teaching fraternity at any platform.
He stressed that the UGC guidelines on capping should have been discussed within the University and then taken to the Council for its adoption by giving sufficient time to the faculty members to get acquainted and accordingly pursue their teaching and research on the quality side.
The dharna was also addressed by other members of JUTA who alleged that the University was implementing only anti-teacher UGC guidelines without taking into consideration the provisions of providing incentives to teachers for raising their efficiency in teaching and research.
Those who addressed the dharna, included Prof S K Khosa, Prof Keshav Sharma, Prof Yash Pal Sharma, Dr K S Charak, Dr Virender Koundal, Dr Ramni Gupta, Prof Abha Chouhan, Dr Vishwa Raksha, Dr P B K S Baba, Prof Taj-ud-Din, Dr Jaspal Singh and office bearers of JUTA, including Dr Kavita Suri and Dr Vivek Sharma.
