Early Times Report
BHADERWAH, Feb 22: The shortage of teaching staff in Government Degree College Bhaderwah from the last eight years is adversely affecting the studies of over 1200 students.
The college was established in the year 1954 and was one of the premier institutions of erstwhile Doda district. It would cater to the students of far-flung areas like, Bhaderwah , Bhalessa , Kishtwar, Ramban, Banihal , Marwah, Mahore, Gool, Thathri, Batote , Doda and other areas of erstwhile Doda district . Degree college Bhaderwah is grappling with the major problem of limited building infrastructure for conducting classes. College is facing daunting task of accommodating all admission seekers due to the lack of infrastructure. Unfortunately, the previous governments did not show an interest in the problems plaguing the college. The students have been representing their problems to the authorities and elected representatives from time to time, but of no use. Over 1200 students are pursuing their education in this college amid the poor infrastructure and educational facilities.
With the exception of some regular lecturers and a few non-teaching staff, the college is being run with contract lecturers and office staff from last ten years .The students complain that they have to bear the brunt due to lack of space, as they have to sometimes attend the classes under the open sky.
The students said that the Higher Education department should fill all the vacant posts in teaching and non teaching categories in the institution at an earliest. They added that no full- fledged library has been established in the college. "Though there are few books in a small almirah in the staff room, but there is no well established library where the students could go through newspapers and magazines and keep themselves updated about the latest happenings.""We are forced to teach the students in these temporary tin sheds. How can we accommodate hundreds of students there," asked a staff member pleading anonymity, adding, "How can you expect quality education when there is no space."Most of the streams are run by the teaching staff appointed by the government on the academic arrangement every year."Practical classes for Chemistry and Physics are seldom held. Just few classes were held during past months," claimed a group of students. "Key posts of Chief Librarian, Director Physical Education, Section officer and Accountant are lying vacant. Ironically, the teaching staff has to do the clerical job as well," rued a senior professor wishing not to be named. The college administration is also unable to introduce fresh subjects including Psychology, Public administration , Philosophy and other subjects due to the non-availability of staff in concerned disciplines.The students urged the Higher Education Department to fill all the vacant posts in the teaching and non-teaching categories on the permanent basis at an earliest. "Four professors of different streams were transferred at the beginning of the academic session last year by the authorities, but they failed to send any replacement for them as a result of which our two academic seasons got wasted," the students rued.The students also complained that there is no playground in the college due to which they are unable to undertake extra-curricular activities. "There are many students in the College who have performed well at the school level in various sports. But their talent is getting waste as no sports activity is being carried out in the College," said a student who has bagged many awards.Govt Degree College Bhaderwah lacks teaching staff, facilities and Students suffer, Chief Minister's intervention is must ."The college administration has sent numerous representations to the Higher Education department urging it to fill the vacant posts, but they have turned blind eye towards the issue," sources said adding the Department was hell bent upon marring the career of children studying in the college.
According to the students, the college also lacks lavatories and drinking water facility for the students. Unfortunately, the previous governments did not show an interest in the problems plaguing the college. It is notable to mention here that State Government, which is time and again beating drums of ensuring equitable and balanced development of all the areas , has actually not shed its habit of discriminating with the Bhaderwah in the allocation of funds.
State Higher Education Department allocated funds for re construction and development of all Govt degree colleges of state but only Govt Degree College Bhaderwah is being ignored from last seven years .
How strange that Bhaderwah leadership cannot forge unity on a common issue of allocation of funds to the area on the basis of justice and equity. They are unable to rise above party politics and personal likes and dislikes and speak in unison in favour of the people of the area .The see-saw game of discrimination between the Bhadarwah and the State Government is as old as the independence of India.
The so called representatives of common man in the Constituency have back stabbed the trust, faith and confidence from last seven years which common man had shown in them with the only belief that the Bhaderwah which is known as Kerala will not be discriminated again. |
