SHILLONG: The new executive body of the North Eastern Hill University Teachers’ Association (NEHUTA) has demanded faster completion of the Career Advancement Scheme (CAS), promotions and removal of pay anomalies, among other things.
The association, in a press statement, said it also demanded immediate filling up of the long-pending statutory and other vacancies so that the university can function “in a more harmonious and efficient manner, as per the act, statute, ordinances of the university”.
Neglect by officials has negative impact on the functioning of the statutory bodies of the university, as minutes are routinely not published on time and annual audit and accounts are passed without necessary approval from university court, it said.
The association is also concerned about works worth lakhs being carried out without following due process and flouting of MHRD directive on diverting funds to a new campus not approved by the ministry.
NEHUTA expressed shocked to observe that seniority of teachers is not respected in appointment to positions of Deans.
“Flouting and non-implementation of Executive Council resolutions too in matters like Construction and credit billing for medical facilities are of serious concern. Advertisement for the post of University Engineer was withdrawn citing anomalies between UGC rules and GoI rules. Meanwhile, the University and its infrastructural works are running ad-hoc by lower level officers,” the statement said.
The association elected its executive body for the year 2018-19 recently.
