Gujarat University relieves retired admin staff on extension
TIMES NEWS NETWORK 26.09.2024
Ahmedabad : The Gujarat University has decided to terminate the services of all retired varsity administrative employees on extension with immediate effect. The vice-chancellor’s order has raised eyebrows, as about seven retired employees from various govt organizations who draw hefty salaries from GU apart from their govt pensions, have not been removed from departments such as accounts, estate, and examination.
Sources said that GU had hired several administrative and other employees after their retirement. The abrupt termination of their services has left many questioning the university’s motives. Terminated contractual employees argued that most of those hired after retirement do not have pensions and were working out of necessity. In contrast, retired officials from central and state govt jobs, including ONGC and SBI, have been hired at high salaries for senior positions in departments like estate, GUSEC, and accounts. These officials, already getting hefty pensions, have been offered salaries ranging from Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 5 lakh by GU authorities.
This has led to speculation about the double standards of the university authorities, as fresh appointments could have provided numerous job opportunities for young candidates
