Sir,
I would like to draw attention of the Commissioner Secretary for Higher Education Department who is in deep slumber. ” Rules are for fools and not for influentially sound people”, and the same holds true as far as department of higher education is concerned. Many of the Assistant and Associate Professors working in Women College Gandhi Nagar and GGM Science College, Jammu are concerned, ample of faculty members are enjoying an overstay of more than 5,6,7,8,9,10,11, and up to 12 years even. In response to the RTI query filed by me, shocking disclosures were made by the principals of Women College Gandhi Nagar and GGM Science College. In Women College Gandhi Nagar, 07 number of faculty members in Botany stream have completed more than five years of stay. Similarly, 12 faculty members in chemistry, 01 in Economics, 03 in Education, 07 in English, 02 in EVS, 01 in Food Science, 01 in Geography, 02 in Hindi, 06 in Home Science, 04 in Mathematics, 01 in Physics, 01 in Political Science, 01 in Psychology, 01 in Punjabi, 02 in Sanskrit, 01 in Sociology, 01 in Statistics and 06 in Zoology stream have completed more than in between 5 to 12 years of stay. Another College of Jammu city, namely GGM Science College too has the same condition. 05 Number of faculty members in English stream are overstayed. Similarly, 13 in Physics stream, 14 in Chemistry stream, 03 in Mathematics, 07 in Botany, 07 in Zoology, 02 in Geology, 02 in Electronics, 02 in BCA have completed more than 5 to 12 years of stay. It shows that nobody who is in power has the guts to transfer these blue-eyed staff members. Such a horrible state of affairs in the higher education department shows that less influential people can be posted anywhere and the people who have strong backing manage to stay in the city colleges for as much long as they can. Now the question arises, whether the transfer policy norms are being implemented in fair manner or it’s just a mere eye wash. A high-level enquiry should be initiated regarding the fair implementation of transfer policy so that a common man should also get a chance to serve in these city colleges and not loose out to influential people.
