Hyderabad: Eight teachers of the Maulana Azad National Urdu University, who were transferred in the past 20 days from the main campus in Hyderabad to the varsity’s off campus locations in Darbangha in Bihar and Bengaluru, have said that they will go on hunger strike against the move.
Claiming that the transfers were not as per rules, the teachers have written to Union HRD minister Prakash Javadekar seeking his intervention in the matter.
In the letter, the teachers said there is no transfer policy in the university. They cited the rules of JNU, New Delhi, regarding transfer of faculty which make it compulsory for taking written agreements from faculty being any transfers.
Shaheer Zaman, who is among the transferred teachers, said, “We have 15 days to join the campuses where we have been transferred. If there is no response by then, we will go on hunger strike. I had raised issues of improper functioning in the varsity.”
MANUU Registrar Dr Shakeel Ahmad however scoffed at the allegations: “There is no ‘vengeance’. During their recruitment itself, teachers are informed that the job is transferable. The V-C wants to focus on off campus institutions too, and we want to send some of our better faculty to these campuses.”
Such transfers have been done earlier too.”Hyderabad: The Telangana state government on Wednesday announced the timetable for the SSC public exams to be held in March 2016.
