43 Professors from 1983 Batch Face Rs 2 Crore Loss Each Due to Delayed Benefits
Key Points:
- 43 out of 46 professors retire without receiving due promotions
- Each professor suffers estimated Rs 2 crore financial loss
- Supreme Court ruling in professors’ favor remains unimplemented
JAMSHEDPUR – Forty-three professors from Kolhan University’s 1983 batch have retired without receiving promotions, facing significant financial losses.
The affected professors should have been promoted from readers to professors by 1995. The issue stems from administrative complications.
“The situation remains unchanged despite numerous appeals,” said a retired professor from the university.
Administrative Deadlock
The Higher Education Department has denied responsibility for the delay. The matter lies with JPSC and the university.
Meanwhile, similar cases in Ranchi University were resolved positively. Those professors received their benefits after court intervention.
On the other hand, Kolhan University’s proposals to JPSC face continuous rejection. No progress has been made in two years.
Historical Context
The UGC introduced new rules in 1998. This created regulatory gaps between 1995 and 1997.
Moreover, the transition between Bihar and Jharkhand’s service conditions complicated matters further. The issue affects career progression.
Furthermore, Dr. Parshuram Siyat, the university in-charge, awaits instructions from higher authorities.
