Jai Narayan Vyas University appears to be in a financial mess these days. Having faced trouble in paying salaries to the staff in November last year, the university has now expressed its inability to remit pension to its teaching and non-teaching staff.
On Tuesday, pension holders staged a demonstration at the central office of the university demanding the administration to release their pension by the end of this month.
The university has not remitted pension to the teaching and non-teaching staff for the months of May and June amounting to over Rs 10 crore.
Financial advisor of the university Abhimanyu Gehlot said the university had insufficient funds for pension and the administration had pleaded the government to provide assistance for the purpose.
“We don’t have sufficient funds for pension this year as the session has delayed due to the pandemic. We usually start receiving fees of students in June, which is used in paying the pension,” said Gehlot.
Keeping this crisis in view, the university administration has started the process of provision admission to students by promoting them to upper classes and has directed them to submit their fees.
On the other hand, the university administration donated Rs 60 lakh in the state’s Covid 19 fund by deducting amount from the pension fund, which has further deepened the crisis.
Inspite of the persistent financial crisis, the vice chancellor continued to divert funds for other amenities.
Recently vice chancellor P C Trivedi started the work to shift and renovate the offices of him and one of the former employees Mohan Singh Bhati raising the question that if there was no sufficient funds, why money was being wasted on such frivolous work.
