DU Principal's Association accuses AAP govt of delaying release of funds to state-funded colleges
The Delhi University Principals' Association has accused the Arvind Kejriwal dispensation of deliberately delaying the release of sanctioned grants to government-fund colleges.
During a meeting with Lt Governor VK Saxena, a delegation of the association raised issues affecting government-funded colleges, including curtailment of funds, non- or delayed payment of salaries to staff members and non-sanctioning of teaching and non-teaching posts. It also sought Saxena's intervention so that the colleges could focus on providing quality education.
The delegation also raised the issue of pending medical reimbursements and other dues of employees and said salaries were being delayed by one to five months. There was no immediate reaction available from the government.
The delegation included Delhi University Principals' Association President and Khalsa College Principal Jasvinder Singh, association Secretary and Aryabhatt College Principal Manoj Sinha and the principals of three other colleges.
There are 12 Delhi University colleges fully funded by the Kejriwal government. "The serious issues that are affecting the quality of education in these colleges include deliberate curtailment of funds, non/delayed payment of salaries to staff, non-sanctioning of teaching and non-teaching posts by the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government, and day to day interference and harassment by incapable and inexperienced persons appointed to the governing bodies of these colleges by the AAP government," the sources said, citing the association.
