Six off-site campuses of JU on mercy of contractual staff, reveals RTI reply NSF flays University authorities 1/14/2016 11:14:30 PM Early Times Report JAMMU, Jan 14: The National Secular Forum (NSF) has flayed the Jammu University (JU) authorities for making mockery of its off-site campuses, six of which are being run on ad-hoc arrangements despite seven years of existence, as revealed in an RTI reply. Addressing a press conference here today, NSF senior vice president Surjit Choudhary said that an RTI reply bearing No. PIO-II/JU/15/1458 which was in their possession gives a clear account of the progress being made by off-site campuses of Jammu University. Choudhary also revealed that this year academic session commenced in the month of July but the University appointed the Contractual teachers in the month of September which shows that academics remain suspended for two months as none of the six campuses had permanent teachers. Citing RTI reply, he revealed that six out of seven off-site campuses were being run on pure contractual arrangements. All the teaching and non-teaching staff members in these campuses are hired on contractual arrangements which show seriousness of JU authorities on the functioning of off-site campuses, he said. RTI revealed that Kishtwar Campus running three courses MA Kashmiri, MSc (IT) and M.Sc Geology and have 13 contractual teachers and two non-teaching staff members on contractual arrangement; Kathua Campus was running just two courses i.e. MBA and MCA and had teaching staff strength of 13 including 12 contractual and 4 non-teaching staff members. The NSF urged the Chancellor of the University to take cognizance of this matter and ask the Vice Chancellor that why it so happened with the off-site campuses.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
