PEC staff may get extension to file options
Chandigarh, November 22 A delegation of the Group C and D Employees Union of Punjab Engineering College (PEC) deemed University today met the Home Secretary, Mr R.S. Gujral, regarding certain clarifications over the protection of their service conditions once they opted for permanent absorption in the deemed university. Mr Jiwan Singh, president of the association, said that earlier the deadline to give the option was November 30. The Home Secretary assured the delegation that the clarifications would be given soon. Earlier, the association had met the Adviser to the UT Administrator. It may be mentioned that in a recent communication to the college, the Administration had sought options from the employees on whether they wanted to be absorbed in the deemed university or reverted to the administration. The employees had pointed out certain contradictions in the notification and the memorandum of agreement. The Para 29 of the notification provides that all service conditions of the absorbed employees in the PEC society will remain the same as if they were government servants and no service conditions would be modified, which was detrimental to the employees. The employees wanted to know whether the benefit of enhancement in the retirement age from 58 to 60 years would be available to the employees who opted for permanent absorption in the PEC society and were due to retire in September, October, November and December this year.

Mr A.C. Vaid, Principal of the college, hoped that youth will realise their duty and responsibility. Mr Chander Mohan Gupta of Hind Motors was the chief guest. The winners of the contest included Anajy Singla first; Vasu Kumar second; and Rajdeep Sidhu third. Education fair
There was a demand for more than a million IT experts in the world by 2010 and to meet the requirement the Indian students need to acquire higher education abroad as it was easier to enroll with foreign universities through legal means. Mr Kamal Bhumbla, Chairman of BN Overseas Educational Trust, while addressing a seminar here said due to lack of awareness on the part of students and their parents, many were becoming victims of unscrupulous travel agents. The trust has organised similar seminars in different parts of Punjab to create awareness on the legal ways to go abroad for higher studies.
