JAMMU, Sept 16: Fulfilling the long pending demand of the College teachers, the Jammu University has revised the remuneration rates of various assignments of examinations.
JU has issued a formal notification in this regard following approval by the University Council.
The remuneration rates were revised earlier in the year 2004. Since then the rates were revised only for evaluation of Answer scripts while the revised rates for the conduct of Practical and Theory examinations were kept in abeyance because of various discrepancies in the rates.
The matter with regard to enhancement and rationalization of remuneration rates was vigorously taken up by then president of College Teachers Association, Dr Avinash Gupta along with his presidium members.
The issue was placed in the 73rd University Council meeting held on October 18, 2012 but on the intervention of Dr Avinash Gupta as member of the University Council, who pointed out discrepancies and shortcomings in the rates, the Chancellor directed the VC to constitute a Revisit Committee in consultation with the Kashmir University and workout rationalized enhanced rates for both the universities before its final approval.
The committee deliberated the issue and after recommendation by the Coordination Committee of Jammu and Kashmir Universities, the matter was endorsed to the University Council by 103rd University Syndicate held on March 3, 2014 thereby fulfilling the long pending demand of the College teaching fraternity.
