Ludhiana, September 10 Addressing a meeting of the representatives of non-govt colleges here today, Mr Satish Chander Sanwalka, President of the Federation of Non-Govt Colleges Managements said the members have condemned the DPI’s move
regarding audit of all accounts of the colleges. He said, “We are against it. The federation had filed a writ in the High Court regarding the release of grant-in-aid arrears and the state government had been asked to issue the same till September 19, 2006. If we do not receive any communication till that date, we will again approach the courts for necessary action”. Mr Rajinder Singh Chinna, the vice-president of the federation, while speaking on the issue said the proposal for audit of all accounts , including that of self-financed courses was not acceptable to them. “We will fight against the move but at the same time we are committed to our own cause of providing quality education alongwith our social and religious objectives. We will fight for our demands. We have been facing several problems in the absence of sanction of new posts by the DPI for the past many years”. The representatives of 40 non-government colleges were of the view that their colleges should be permitted to hire new teachers on contract basis. So that the working of the colleges did not suffer.
