Why does DUTA condemn this merge?
The Delhi University Teachers’ Union (DUTA) considers this as a violation of Delhi University’s statutory provisions. Hence, this act of the Delhi Government is considered as yet another violation. Rajab Ray, the president of DUTA says, “ This reveals the attitude of Delhi Government in solving issues of funded colleges.” Hence, he highlights how the government is unable to tackle issues related to college fundings.
The actual reason highlighted by DUTA:
As per DUTA, 12 of the Delhi University colleges get directly funded by Delhi Government. Hence, all the teachers, staff, students, and administration are looked after by them. However, these 12 colleges are suffering a lot.
These colleges don’t get any financial aid from the government on time. Hence, the delay leads to untimely payments to staff and faculty. All this is adversely affecting the educational, financial, and administrative functioning. The employees are rendered penniless for months all because of the government’s issues.
