While addressing the meeting, Association General Secretary S.S. Heer said that the University Grants Commission vide D.O.

Accordingly, the then Vice Chancellor, University of Jammu Professor M.L. Lakhanpal too constituted a Standing Committee under his chairmanship which met on 10.08.1990 only once and the outcome of the meeting was not made known to any SC/ST employee of the University.

Association members said that their Association despite being the only Govt recognised body in the University has not been allotted accommodation despite their several requests, to establish its office on the campus as a result of which they had to sit in the open on the ground for holding their routine meetings.
