Sub: Intervention in the matter of stoppage of funds to the 28 DU colleges partially or fully funded by Delhi Government
Dear Shri Kejriwal,
The employees of the 28 colleges partially or fully funded by the Delhi Government are constantly being subjected to delayed payments of salaries and other reimbursements due to the repeated stoppage of grants by the Delhi Government. You would agree that this action of denial of salaries to the teaching and non-teaching staff of these colleges amounts to a violation of basic human rights. Your reasons, whatsoever they may be, do not warrant such an assault on the living conditions of the employees. Further, the stoppage of grants is also affecting the students enrolled in these institutions as the academic and administrative day to day functioning of these units are affected in myriad ways.
We also wish to remind you once again that the Delhi Government must perform its duty to pay the mandatory 5% due from it in the case of the other partially funded 16 colleges. The Government must act responsibly and not shirk payment of its dues and arrears, if any.
The Government must also immediately release funds for the additional posts that are to be created for the teaching and non-teaching staff in the wake of the EWS Reservation. With the increase in the number of students across all disciplines under EWS Reservation, all colleges require additional funds for salaries and infrastructural development for smooth functioning of their day-to-day academic and administrative forces. Further, some of the new courses that were started after obtaining the necessary approvals are being starved of funds for appointing teachers required for running these courses.
We have already brought this to your notice in our earlier communications and any further delay will seriously undermine the teaching learning process and affect the quality of education imparted in these institutions.
We sincerely hope that the salaries, reimbursements and arrears due to employees on account of the 7th Pay Revision are paid without any further delay. We hope that you will urgently intervene to resolve the issue to prevent further escalation.
With regards
Rajib Ray
