DAV engg institute told to appoint qualified principal
Jalandhar, March 15 The hearing committee of the council has warned the college to follow its norms in future and ensuring compliance within 15 days. While directing the college to appoint a qualified principal immediately, it has observed that the current position holder Sudhir Sharma was not eligible as per norms. The committee has also pointed out that Jasdeep Kaur was not eligible as a lecturer in the MCA department as per pre-revised norms or even as assistant professor as per the revised guidelines as she was not having the requisite qualification. It also observed that Sanjeev Saini having M.Tech degree and Anil Soni having MBA degree were eligible to continue as assistant professors in their respective departments in the revised pay scales but were not eligible for any other benefits by virtue of their recent recruitment. Raising yet another point, the council has directed the institute to maintain faculty cadre ratio of professors/ associate professors and assistant professors as 1:2:6 as per its prescribed norms. General secretary of the association Deepak Parmar, in a complaint, had alleged that the recruitment process was primarily aimed at giving appointments to certain under-qualified staff who would have deemed ineligible as per the new regulations. The new regulations were more stringent and quality-oriented. The association had also taken the matter to the Punjab and Haryana High Court which had asked the AICTE to take immediate cognizance of the representation and dispose of the same in accordance with the law within one month. CL Kochher, director, engineering colleges, DAV College Managing Committee, when asked for his comments, said that a reply in this regard had already been sent to the council. “We have told them that we have been striving hard to get the best of the faculty and have even been paying them off well”, he replied.

Protest against proposed Bills
Jalandhar, March 15 Speaking on the occasion, Parminer Singh of the Association of Democratic Rights said once framed, such Bills would scuttle the space for the common masses to protest over their just demands. “To give the right to its citizen to openly criticise against the government policies and protest against them is the basic element of any democratic system. Introduction of such laws make the fact evident that Indian state, especially Punjab, is eager to shun its democratic character,” he added. Quoting the struggles developed around the cases of Binayak Sen and Iron Sharmila of Manipur, he said scuttled space for protests would only lead to more unrest among the masses that were already facing corruption and inflation. Dr Raghbir Kaur, general secretary, DBYC; and Amolak Singh, convener of the cultural wing of the committee, also addressed the gathering. Vice-president of the committee Naunihal Singh passed a resolution condemning the proposed Bills. Later, the protest march was organised in the city that concluded at the district administrative complex. DC didn’t turn up
to accept memo
The protesters were scheduled to submit a memorandum against the Bills to the Deputy Commissioner, Jalandhar. However, the DC did not turn up to take the memorandum. He did not appear at the scene even after the representatives extended their protesting schedule twice. |
