Dr. R.P.S. Josh, Fellow Panjab University met Prof. R.C. Sobti, Vice-Chancellor, Panjab University, Chandigarh today and gave a memorandum to him. He demanded that
1. The CPF should be deducted as per The Panjab University calendar norms that is 10 per cent of the total salary in the affiliated colleges (aided/unaided) from the date of enforcement of this scheme, i.e., since 1986. The teachers are suffering due to this discrepancy.
2. The transfer and approval cases of the teachers of Punjab and Haryana should be cleared immediately. Due to delay in approval Honors Classes teaching suffers in colleges.
3. The teachers of unaided colleges of Panjab University are not getting salary according to U.G.C./Punjab Govt. norms. A fact finding committee should be constituted to do surprise checks in the colleges and the teachers must be paid salary as per U.G.C. norms as they are appointed following such norms.
4. The wards of teachers of affiliated colleges of Panjab University should be given reservation/Fee concession in Ankur Nursery School as given to the university employees.
5. The T.A./Local conveyance of teachers evaluating answer books at Ludhiana, Moga, Abohar, Khanna, Hoshiarpur, Dasuya, etc. should be enhanced as per Chandigarh teachers.
6. Teachers teaching Post Graduate classes should be paid for 7 sessions for practicals as the practicals are conducted in 21 hours and they are paid for one session. Similarly, in undergraduate classes the teachers should be paid for five sessions as they conduct practicals in 15 hours which comes out to be 5 sessions.
The meeting of Dr. R.P.S. Josh with the Vice-Chancellor was held in a cordial manner and Vice-Chancellor assured that he will study the memorandum and take appropriate steps.
He also informed that Punjab Govt. has given the letter indicating that they are following 2009 circular and he appealed to Chandigarh Administration to initiate long pending CAS promotions of Assistant Professors and Associate Professors working in Chandigarh.
