1. Professor A. Vaishampayan, UGC Career Awardee | October 8th, 2008 at 10:53 am

I appreciate Prof. Chaddha Commission’s Report to redress the anomaly of previous pay commission, by recommending to grant promotion under MPS/CAS (along with arrears) from date of eligibility and not from 27.07.1998 in view of the implementation of the whole 5th pay package from 01.01.1996, as the earlier arbitrary decision (to give promotion from 27.07.1998) spoiled the professional career of all those university teachers who were already eligible for promotion on or before 01.01.1996, as per UGC criteria, and faced tough screening and selection process but still got the promotion with effect from not earlier than 27.07.1998 without any rhyme and reason. This may please be clarified to be equally applicable for teachers being promoted both as a Reader and Professor under CAS/MPS to be uniformly effective from the date of eligibility. After the due justice to the sufferers, as above, their redressed salary arriving at on 01.01.2006 may please be considered for fixation under the new UGC pay scale, recommended by Prof. Chaddha.
Furtrher, Prof. Chaddha deserves hearty appreciation to recommend granting the designation of Senior Professor to the teachers in a university who have been consistently serving as a Professor for 10 years. It is, however, extremely important to please see that this well-deserved incentive is extended to all those who have been in position for 10 years as a Professor (or whenever they complete 10 years) without any pick and choose, if nothing is known against their character and conduct as a Professor. It would be nice if at least 4 advanced increments are permitted on completion of 10 years as a Professor while being re-designated as a Senior Professor (as has been recommended for Pro-V.C.s). This will be the minimum courtesy from the MHRD to honour this highest literate position under the Govt. of India who builds up and shapes the able human resources through this noble profession to carefully and graciously command different spheres of the whole nation.
Further, I do agree with Professor Chaddha that teachersâ€™ periodical appraisal and emphasis on the maintenance of discipline, morality and sense of integrity should be the part and parcel of the new pay package.
2. arun shandilya | October 17th, 2008 at 3:12 am

The UGC Pay Review Commission under the Chairmanship of Professor Chaddha submitted his report to the UGC on Oct 3rd 2008. The PRC considered a few suggestions of the university and college teachers of the country, but the recommendations lacks in various ways and could not succeed to fulfill the major demands of teachers for higher pay scales, better promotion scheme and suitable working conditions to attract and retain the talent in the teaching profession.

Chaddha Commission accepts and recommended some good things for the betterment of the teaching profession and higher education system, which are as follows:
â€¢ A uniform designation pattern for whole teaching community of higher education in India.
â€¢ Benefit of increments for Ph.D. M.Phil. etc. at entry level and on acquiring such degree for in service teachers after implementation of this report.
â€¢ Creation of post of Senior Professor, Professor of Eminence .

The teaching community of the country was expecting much more not only because of their sufferings of past many decades but because of fast changing global scenario, recommendations and acceptance of the sixth pay commission and competence of designated members of the Chaddha Commission. Their many lacunae and unjust recommendations in PRC 2008, some of which are as under:

â€¢ In different all India Services (IAS, IPS, IFS, etc), the officers get promotions at the interval of 4, 9, 13 and 16 years of service (and some more promotions above these scales). These promotions are given to them on basis of counting period from the date of entry in the service. These promotion levels considered (by past UGC PRCs) a little or more equivalent to Lecturer/Assistant Professor, Lecturer/Assistant Professor (Senior Scale), Lecturer/Assistant Professor (Selection Grade)/ Associate Professor, and Professor; but here:
(i) The time period for the promotions is not counted from the date of entry in service and
(ii) The time period for promotion is more, in comparison to various All India Services.

o From Lecturer to Lecturer (Senior Scale) 4yrs with Ph.D.(5 yrs to M.Phil and 7 yrs to non Ph. D.);
o From Lecturer(Senior Scale) to Lecturer (Selection Grade)/ Associate Professor, 5yrs with Ph.D.(6yrs to M.Phil and 8 yrs to non Ph. D.); and
o From Associate Professor to Professor 8yrs with Ph.D

(iii) Officers of All India Services are less educated (graduation is required education level), whereas in higher education PG plus NET or SET / MPhil/Ph,D. is minimum qualification. So, when the teachers in higher education are more educated, working most important job of nation building than why should they get less salary, discrimination in promotion and poor working conditions.

â€¢ In the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission all the scales are categorized in only in four Pay Bands. Many of the pay scales has been merged and are placed at one place and given the same grade pay. But in the case of teachers of higher education reverse phenomenon is recommended. The teachers working as Lecturer/Assistant Professor (Selection Grade), Associate Professor, Vice Principal and Principal (UG College) were working in 12000-18300 scale, has been divided and placed in Pay band 3 and 4. The teachers working in all these scales should have been placed in Pay Band 4, and if any difference was to be created than it should have been only in the form of higher grade pay and additional increments.

â€¢ Sixth Pay Commission recommendations ensure to give minimum three promotions to all the employees. The officers of All India Services usually get 5 to 6 promotions. But the Chaddha Commission explicitly downgraded university and college teachers by the recommendations which denied them promotion till professor’s grade,and he does not ensure to give even third promotion. The Chaddha Commission should have recommended to ensure the promotions of the teachers up to the level of professors. The teacher who performs better in teaching or in research must be given early promotion, but no teacher should be debarred to get promotion. The posts of Senior Professor, Professor of Eminence, Pro Vice Chancellor and Vice Chancellor should be the only selection posts.

â€¢ The Chaddha Commission recommended to sanction the post of Professor in PG departments of colleges. In this regard it is to submit that

(i) There must not be requirement of sanction of post for CAS candidates.
(ii) The post may be sanctioned for only open posts and for fresh appointments.
(iii) There shall be no restriction on number of posts; every eligible teacher must be given promotion on completion of required period.
(iv) There shall be no discrimination between a UG or PG College, with regard to the post of professor because:
o An individual teacher has no role in having UG or PG status of department. Every body in higher education know that UG or PG level of the department depends upon administration (including Govt.), Principal, need of the place and many other factors which are not under control of an individual teacher)
o A senior teacher (i.e. Reader / Professor) required not only to teach PG but to UG also.

â€¢ Similar to the post of Senior Professor thre should have been a post of Senior Principals scale for those principals who have already completed eight to 10 years of service.

â€¢ The Chaddha Commission recommendations disappointed by leaving the issue of recruitment of Lecturer at entry level. It is quite satisfactory that a Lecturer would get handsome initial salary with other allowances. But, how the youngsters would get entry when in appointment process at colleges and university is not impartial and provides chances of favoritism to their own candidates and outsiders faces negativism at departmental or local or regional level. In many states PSCs recruit Lecturers for Government colleges, which comparatively better than recruitment many universities. So, for an impartial and better recruitment process, it is felt that there must be an All India recruitment process through UPSC. There must be a centralized recruitment process for all central and state universities and colleges (receiving grants from UGC or Central/state governments); according to the merit candidates could be given priority of their choices.

â€¢ There were many anomalies after the implementation of UGC PRC 1996. Chaddha Commission has considered but still there are some grievances:
(i) Recommendations of the PRC 1996 were implemented from 1.1.96. The CAS was the part and parcel of the recommendations but the carrier advancement scheme was implanted from an arbitrary and unreasoned date of 27.07.98. Due to this reason many senior faculty members who were already eligible for promotion on or before 01.01.1996, or became eligible between the period from dt. 1.196 to 27. 07.98, as per UGC criteria 2008, could not get the promotion earlier than 27.07.1998 without any logical reason. This way the highest qualified community was befooled by the patron of highest education i.e. University Grants Commission.
(ii) Posts of Professor were recommended for colleges also but it was not done.
(iii) The arrears of the teachers were not given in time and most of the amount was deposited in the PF and restrictions were laid down to ban the withdrawal for 5 yrs. Etc.
3. Dr. T.SAVADAMUTHU | October 30th, 2008 at 10:13 pm

The qualification for the post of Lecturer in the College of Education (to teach B.Ed. & M.Ed.) is as follows:
(1) Master’s degree in any related school subject
(2) M.Ed. / M.A. (Education) with B.Ed.
The pass in two master’s degree is an essential qualification for the post of lecturer to be appointed in a college of education apart from NET/SLET/Ph.D in Education, Hence it is to suggest two addl increaments may be given.

TO,
MHRD, UGC AND HIGHER EDUCATION DEPARTMENTS OF ALL STATE GOVT.
Subject-Amendment of Clause XXII of paragraph 7 regarding Incentives for Ph.D/M.Phil.

Reference-

1) Government of Maharashtra Higher & Technical Education Department, Resolution No.NGC 2009/(243/09)-UNI-1, Mantralaya Annex, Mumbaiâ€“400032. Date: 12th August 2009.
2) Government of India Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development, New Delhi. Letter No.1-32/2006-U.II/U.I (i) dated 31.12.2008.

Respected Sir/Madam,

G.R. and Letter at 1 and 2 above variously extended the benefit of advance increments for possessing Ph.D./M.Phil and other higher qualifications.
Clause XXII of paragraph 7 regarding â€˜incentives for Ph.D/M.Phil and other qualificationsâ€™ in above reads as under.

â€œFor posts at the entry level where no such advance increments were admissible for possessing Ph.D/ M.Phil. under the earlier scheme, the benefits of 5 advance increments for possessing Ph.D./ M.Phil. shall be available to only those appointments which have been made on or after the coming into force of this Scheme.â€

The above clause is unjust, insufficient and ambiguous in the light of following. Persons on any post other than Assistant Professor who acquired Ph.D./M.Phil degree either before entry in service, or during service, are appointed either by nomination or promotion with due permission of UGC, on the post of Assistant Professor and the benefit of protection of pay is extended to them as per rules of State. But consequent upon protection in pay, no benefit of 5/2 advance increments for Ph.D/M.Phil. is accorded to them on the assumption that they are not freshers and therefore their pay is not fixed on lowest (initial) pay in the pay scale meant for the post due to limited coverage (shortfall) of clauses I and II of para-7 of G.R./Letter cited in reference.
Similarly they are not entitled for 3/1 advance increments as per clauses IV and VIII, as Ph.D/M.Phil.degrees are not acquired during their service career as Assistant Professor.
Though the clause XXII a little bit covers the interests of said class of persons, but it leaves so many things unexplained therefore it appears to be unjust, insufficient and ambiguous. In order to cover the said class of persons undoubtedly under the umbrella of clause XXII it is requested to amend the clause XXII to give it the following shape and sense.

â€œFor persons holding any post in previous (past) service cadre where the provision of award of advance increment for possessing Ph.D/M.Phil.was not available either at entry level or in-service career, under any earlier scheme i.e. Pay Commission, the benefit of 5/2 advance increments for possessing Ph.D/M.Phil respectively, shall be available to only those appointments either by nomination or promotion which have been made on or after the coming into force of this scheme.â€

If the clause XXII is amended to this effect as mentioned above, it would benefit all the concerned persons including the members of this Association who have been promoted from junior college lecturer to Assistant Professor after 01.01.2006.Further it would be crystal clear leaving no room for doubt in future.
Thanks.

Sir,

In Punjab Govt Colleges, NET/UGC qualified lecturers given only Rs.7000/- per month only for six months as guest faculty lectuers. On the other hand they work all the year.

We have read in various newspapers that NET/UGC qualified lectuers will be given Rs. 25,000/- month.

Sir, Please take action to give justice those fully qualified lecturers working in Punjab Govt. Colleges.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

(Ritika)

Anamoly in 1996 ugc pay revision:-
I joined govt degree colleges service ingovt of Andhra pradesh in the year 1968 as Asst lecturer.I was REDESIGNATED as READER in 1986 revision as I obtained Ph.d in 1981 and completed 18 years service by that time.I did not get any service weightage or Increments.By 1996 I completed 10 years service as READER.In 1996 ,UGC neglected senior readers working in Degree colleges and recommended Professor scale for University Readers who have completed 8 years service.Professor posts were restricted to Universities and Autonomous colleges only. As there are no Professor posts in degree colleges Govt of Andhra pradesh also neglected my 10 years service in the cadre of Reader. I was fixed at Rs.14940/-with out any weightages on par with juniors in service.As recommended by ugc,I was not sanctioned 2 Advance Increments for Ph.D obtained in 1981. After serving for 32 years I was promoted as Principal,but kept in the old selection grde lecturer scale.As per ugc recommendations ,I am fully qualified and eligible for Professor grade scale. But it was denied. due to which I reached STAGNATION in 2002.Again I was promoted to the post of REGIONAL JOINT DIRECTOR OF COLLEGES in 2004,in the stagnated pay.As A.P govt did not extend the retirement age to 62 years ,I retired in the age of 58 in October 2004.
I suffered a loss of nearly 10 increments for serving degree colleges for 36 years.THIS IS DUE TO THE ANOMALY IN 1996 ugc pay revision as Ugc forgot about Senior Readers like me in Degree colleges. For the last 10 years I have been appealing to UGC and Govt of A.P to fix my scale in Professor scale from 1/1/96 or give me Runnig scale with consequencial benifits and pay the arrears with interest. But neither ugc nor A.P. govt responded due to which I suffered great loss in pay and pensionary benifits. I pray UGC to do justice.
There is no discrimination in 1986 and 2006 pay revision.Then why disrimination in 1996 pay revision in between University Readers and Degree college Readers who are eligible for Professor scale .
I request elite to respond and help.
