Sub: Request to notify Report of the Anomaly Committee on UGC Regulations 2018.

Dear Shri Pokhriyal,

Teachers across the country and in DU are awaiting the Report of the Anomaly Committee of the UGC hoping for relief on unresolved issues in every section of the UGC Regulations 2018, namely, for pending cases of promotion, direct recruitment of teachers, Career Advancement Scheme notified in the revised regulations, issues of leave, MPhil/ PhD increments, parity of Librarians and other Academic Staff with teachers, among others.

We understand that the Report has been finalized by the UGC and submitted to the Ministry for approval and hence, seek your intervention for the notification of the said Report.

Further, we wish to bring to your notice that the Promotion Proforma as per CAS 2018 is yet to be notified by the University despite repeated representations and protests. A large number of teachers whose promotions are pending for a decade or more are waiting for the University so that they can exercise options under than Clause 6.3 of the UGC Regulations 2018. However, the same clause stipulates that “This option can be exercised only within three years from the date of notification of these Regulations” i.e. 17.7.2021.  This would mean that many teachers would be denied the opportunity before the deadline. Hence, we request that the deadline be sufficiently extended so that teachers are not denied promotions because of the misgovernance and inaction of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Yogesh Kumar Tyagi.

We request your intervention and necessary action in this regard also urge you to notify the report of the Anomaly Committee without any further delay.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
