The submitted report confirms this <BR/><BR/> At a time when the 6th Pay Commission has categorically stated that at least 3 assured promotions should be given to both the military and civilian govt employees the UGC through its G K Chadha PRC Commission is trying to deny this or put conditionalities such as peer review , student assessment , selective implementation in P G colleges which would make it unimplementable . See what they have done to the Reader’s grade/ The Rs 12000-420-18300 grade has been downgraded to PB – 3 whereas equivalent grades in Central govt which end at Rs18300 and surprisingly with Rs 400 as the increment annually have been without ado been upgraded to the Rs. 37400 - 67000 i.e ., PB -4 band. Are teachers so degraded that even existing scales should not be given the same upgradation as has been given to Central govt employess by the 6th CPC recently. It smacks of malafide intention.<BR/><BR/> UGC's past record in this regard speaks volumes in this regard. IT has withdrawn such 3rd promotion scheme after initiating its implementation in Ramjas college of Delhi Universityin 2000. <BR/> The FEDCUTA has also pointed out that the Professorship (promotion) which was introduced in 1998 in DU colleges was withdrawn unilaterally by the UGC in October 2000. <BR/>It is pertinent to mention that in the meeting between the HRD Minister and representatives of AIFUCTO, DUTA and FEDCUTA held on 16.8.1998, it was clarified “that a Reader with a minimum of eight years of service will be eligible for promotion as a Professor under the CAS. It was further clarified that professorship in colleges other than the autonomous colleges would also be introduced in accordance with the standards and norms to be determined by the UGC.” Accordingly, the UGC vide its 1998 Notification introduced Professorship (promotion) and laid down the method of promotion. A College teacher of Ramjas College in Delhi University got promotion to Professorship. However, despite the aforementioned agreement, the CAS for Professorship in colleges was unilaterally withdrawn by the UGC on 6th October 2000.<BR/>In the light of the above agreement with MHRD, the FEDCUTA had urged the UGC Pay Review Committee to recommend not only the promotion to Professorship / Professor grade in colleges, but also creation of Reader and Professor post (open) in the Colleges. The FEDCUTA states that is is opposed to the idea of instituting these posts only in the Posst graduate Colleges. <BR/>When merely graduates in the civil service and in defence forces will enjoy 3rd assured promotion teachers who have to have PHD degrees just to get into the service apart from regularly updating their qualifications through seminar / symposia attendance , publications etc throughout their career ( Tell me one case where with lesser qualifications you can be a Lecturer at the entry level for a permanent vacancy, I'd take back my statement ) are being made mendicants by being denied of this. <BR/><BR/> We have strong reasons to believe that the professorial lobby ( which has opposed the implementation of professors' grade in Delhi University colleges and elsewhere in the country in the past ) is in cahoots with higher education mandarins to deny the legitimate right of third promotion to college teachers.Chadha committee intends to follow this in letter and spirit. <BR/> Is.nt it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-103167069188827322008-10-06T01:07:00.000+05:302008-10-06T01:07:00.000+05:30I agree entirely with the above comment.

(who can just be an MSc/MA/MCom) idling his time in the dept with many side businesses(private tuition,stock market,owning shops etc.) WILL have the same salary as an IISc Prof!!! Disgusting, to say the least.<BR/><BR/>-KKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-44916502936223856682008-10-05T22:24:00.000+05:302008-10-05T22:24:00.000+05:30It is an encouraging step but i think they should ...It is an encouraging step but i think they should have inculded annual review for scientific capabilties and productivity and 5 yrs of external agency review. Promotions should be linked with student evaluation 10%, scientific productivity 35%, social service (like volunteer training of minority or less privelaged etc like in US) 5%, Grants 35% and awards etc 10%. <BR/><BR/>I cannot digest the fact that now a Bangalore University professor who is just wasting her/his time in dept will get same salary as a Prof from IISc who is running around and spending weekends in labs to carry on research.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
