25
colleges
sans principals FATEHABAD, Oct 15 — Because of official apathy, 25 of the 54 government run degree colleges in the state are functioning without regular Principals. Posts of principals in three more college will fall vacant soon following retirement of the present incumbents. Some more principals are due to retire in the next three months. According to knowledgeable sources, there are a total of sixty posts of Principals, Deputy Directors in the state. Of these 25 posts are lying vacant. In the absence of regular principals, these colleges are being managed by officiating heads , usually the senior most lecturer of the college. A survey of the area reveals that Government College Bhattu Kalan in this district, Government College Adampur; Mandi in Hisar district, Government College, Rattia in this district and Government College Nathusari Chopta in Sirsa are some of the colleges without principals. The principal of Government College for Girls, Fatehabad is due to retire in January 2000 while that of Government National College, Sirsa is due to retire in February 2000. In all the college functioning without regular principals, adhocism prevails, affecting discipline and education standard. The government, according to sources, had organised a five-day training camps for senior lecturers likely to be promoted in the near future. The training, held at Haryana Institute of Public Administration Training, was organised from December 28, 1998 to January 1,1999. In all 28 senior college teachers attended. But even ten months later, the authorities concerned have not taken steps to promote these teachers. Another common lament is that while teachers who have put in more than 30 years of service are cooling their heels, juniors with far less service are officiating as principals in many colleges. This causes heartburn among senior teachers. Meanwhile, the
government, it is learnt has initiated moves to promote
13 teachers out of the 28 who attended the course. Even
after these promotions more than half of the affected
colleges will remain without heads. Interestingly, the
promotion of these teachers, does not involve any
additional financial burden as the senior lecturers are
already getting-salaries according to selection grade
equivalent to the salary of a principal. If the
government fills the vacancies, it can satisfy teachers
and improve educational standards and discipline at no
extra expense to itself. |

ultimate aim of total computerisation in HAU was aimed at
taking benefits to the grassroot level like farmers, who
would be benefited from this programme. |
Lt Atul Kataria remembered GURGAON, Oct 15 — Leaders of various political parties and prominent residents of the city paid rich tributes to martyr Lt Atul Kataria on his first death anniversary yesterday. Speaking at a function organised here by the Atul Kataria Memorial Trust, a senior BJP leader and former minister of Haryana, Prof Ram Bilas Sharma, said Lieutenant Kataria had done the state proud by sacrificing his life in the interest of the country. Lieutenant Kataria, of 13 Punjab Regiment, lost his life in an ambush laid by Pak-trained militants in the Kashmir valley. Even while injured he killed four militants. Mr Gopi Chand Ghelot of the Indian National Lok Dal lauded the heroics of Lieutenant Kataria and said even though Haryana accounted for only 2 per cent of the country’s population the figure of martyrs from the state was 20 per cent. Mr Karan Dalal, a former minister from Haryana, expressed concern at the falling standards of morality and civic sense among youth. The Trust announced a
number of social welfare projects in the name of the
hero, including setting up of a school. The Panchayat has
already donated land for the proposed school. |
Plea to appoint new HPCC chief FARIDABAD, Oct 15 — Congress workers want the high command to appoint a new incumbent at the earliest to lead the party in Haryana in view of the possibility of the Vidhan Sabha elections being held soon in the state. Party sources who did not want to be identified said this had become all the more necessary after the Congress suffered a humiliating defeat in the just concluded Lok Sabha elections losing all the seats in Haryana. They felt Mr Bhupinder Singh Hooda, state party chief, had no moral right to continue in office after Mr Pranab Mukherjee, General Secretary of the AICC and observer for Haryana quit the office owning moral responsibility for the debacle. It was Mr Hooda who had wrongly advised the high command to bail out the Bansi Lal government. They claimed that Mr Hooda had failed to utilise the opportunity in favour of the Congress. If the decision was not taken at the earliest, the party would also be marginalised in the coming Vidhan Sabha elections. The partymen want
appointment of a president with a lot of experience and
proven loyalty to the Congress who could campaign
vigorously among the farming community which held the key
in Haryana and was also acceptable to others. |
Plea to abolish contract
system SONEPAT, Oct 15 — The Forest Department Mazdoor Union, Haryana, today urged the state government to abolish the contract system and end the exploitation of labourers in the Forest Department.

The union also demanded a CBI probe into the racket and stern action against the guilty. The union also alleged that the contractors had not been paying the amount to the labourers as shown in the bills prepared by the officials of the Forest Department and this had caused resentment among the labourers.
