30/01/2023
Jammu, Jan 29: The executive committee of SKUAST-Teaching Ass-ociation Jammu (SKUAST-TAJ) under the chairmanship of its President Dr. Vikas Sharma calls on VC SKUAST-J Dr. Nazir Ahmad Ganai in his office at Main Campus Chatha.
The association discussed the various burning and just issues of SKUAST-Jammu with the Hon'ble VC, who happened to be Vice Chancellor of SKUAST-K and recently got the charge for the post of VC SKUAST-J in addition to his own duties till the selection/appointment of new VC of SKUAST-J.
Dr. Vikas Sharma President TAJ put forth the major demand of teaching fraternity regarding the release of increased salary/ dues and arrears for teachers who got promotions under Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) for Teachers in June 2022.
Dr. Vikas informed the VC that the fact remains that the employee has been promoted and he/she is entitled for all promotional benefits on and from the date of promotion/ assu-mption of charge of higher post, but in SKUAST-J more than 150 teachers were promoted in June 2022 to the post of Associate Professor/ Senior Scientist and Professor/ Chief Scientist under CAS, but after the lapse of 07 months their promotional benefits in the form of increased salary/arrears are still awaited. The teaching association of SKUAST-Jammu also stressed for the abolition of contract system for the engagement of unskilled labourers in SKUAST-Jammu.
Dr. Vikas informed that the University is principal employer and paying wages for all the unskilled labourers engaged in SKUAST-J, but the contractor, so called thekedar, is unnecessarily minting money as a middleman that leads to the delay in release of wages for these poor labourers. So, "thek-edari system" must be stamped out for the welfare of unskilled labourers as these thekedars neither provide the laboreres nor release the salary and other benefits of labourers on time.
