A DUTA delegation comprising its office-bearers and the two elected teacher representatives on the DU Executive Council met the Chairman UGC, Prof. Ved Prakash, yesterday at 11:30 in his office. At the meeting, which continued for over one and a half hour, DUTA had a thorough discussion with the Chairman on pending anomalies arising out of the 6th Pay Revision Notification as well as the UGC Regulations 2010. These anomalies, among others, included stepping up of pay where juniors with similar, qualifications and experience draw more salary, minimum starting pay at AGP of Rs. 7000/-, dual emoluments in the rank of Professors, fixation of pay of teachers on leave as on 01.01.2006, counting of teaching experience of self-financing courses, disputed date of eligibility for promotion in Reassessed cases, etc. The DUTA delegation categorically stated that the concept of accumulating points for career advancement is something that at once runs counter to the very vision of excellence
