The transfer follows a up to date assembly of the universities with human resources building (HRD) minister Prakash Javadekar during which he was informed about the legalities of the problem as according to Delhi University Act 1922. According to resources, the topic has been deferred till further notice, with some speculating that UGC and the ministry now need to take time for felony session.
In Tuesday’s assembly with the stakeholders of Hindu College and the main of St Stephen’s, Javadekar was informed that as according to the DU Act, no constituent faculty can also be granted autonomy. A source stated the minister was now not aware of the complication. Javadekar has transform hesitant to push for the problem because the transfer requires a change in the legislation, the source added.
DU lecturers have been protesting in opposition to the ministry and UGC for forcing autonomy on the college’s colleges, stating that the transfer would flip these institutions into “instructing shops”.
DU instructional council member Pankaj Garg also raised questions on the Centre’s aim behind trying to create self reliant institutions out of DU colleges which can be run on tax-payers’ money. “The question isn't why create self reliant colleges, but why flip public-funded colleges into self reliant colleges,” he stated. “Why is the ministry now not establishing extra self reliant colleges on its own?”
Delhi University Teachers’ Association (DUTA), which was protesting out of doors the UGC place of business on the time of the assembly, stated senior officers informed us that the autonomy were dropped off the time table. “This last-minute alternate in the time table of the full- fee assembly is because of steady protests. This deferral is, alternatively, no guarantee in opposition to the central government’s plan to privatise its premier public-funded higher educational institutions,” stated DUTA president Rajib Ray.
