‘DU colleges facing financial crisis’
BJP urges Kejriwal to release grants to institutions
29/08/2019, STAFF REPORTER ,NEW DELHI
Delhi University-affiliated colleges under the Aam Aadmi Party government are facing a “deep financial crisis”, the Opposition BJP alleged here on Wednesday.
Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta sought to urge Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to take urgent measures to release the required grants and sanctions to colleges fully funded by the Delhi government.
“These colleges need immediate financial assistance for smooth and effective functioning... it is the Delhi government’s primary duty to protect the interests of students, teachers and employees alike,” Mr. Gupta said.
“The government must ensure that withheld grants should not hamper introduction of new academic programmes and courses... the Delhi government’s release of grants and sanctions to University colleges is inadequate and is causing deep concern amongst students, teachers and staff of these colleges,” he said further.
According to Mr. Gupta, the arrears of revised HRA with effect from July 1, 2017, of the 7th UGC pay package had not yet been paid to employees in Delhi government colleges.
Salary dues
If grants were not released in time in the coming months, Mr. Gupta alleged, it would be difficult even to pay salaries of teachers.
“These colleges had introduced some new academic programmes and courses. But the required additional teaching strength could not be obtained due to administrative reasons,” he said.
