    SAC to increase retirement age of college faculty from 60 to 62 years

    In a significant decision, State Administrative Council (SAC) headed by Governor Satya Pal Malik, is all set to increase the age of retirement for faculty of 96 Government colleges in Jammu and Kashmir, from 60 to 62 years on Tuesday.

    According to the highly placed authoritative sources, the long pending demand of the teaching staff of around a hundred government colleges would be conceded most likely in the SAC meeting on January 29. In case this item doesn’t come up for consideration due to any reason on January 29, it could be approved in the following SAC meeting, most likely after Prime Minister’s visit, on February 4.

    University Grants Commission (UGC) had some years back recommended retirement age of all faculty members at college and university level as 65 years. Currently it is 62 years at University level and 60 years, like all other State government employees, at the college level and below.

    The faculty of 96 government colleges in Jammu and Kashmir would get the benefit, even as the UGC recommendation is being implemented partially raising the retirement age from 60 to 62 years and bringing the college faculty at par with the University faculty. It would be implemented with effect from January 1, 2019. Teachers of the rank of Assistant Professor and above would get benefit of this enhancement of the retirement age.

    While as in some States, the retirement age of teaching staff is 65 years, it is 62 in some States and 60 in some other States like Jammu and Kashmir.

    Mr Iqbal Raina Really a Gem among others in Rajouri He is an Asset of Peerpunjaal

    From the FB Wall of  Jnb Iqbal  Shawl

    District Rajouri has the distinction and previlige of having produced quite a number of outstanding personalities in all walks of life. Prof Iqbal Raina being one among of them.

    Being a contemporary , it becomes my obligation to acknowledge his capabilities that distinguish him as a mam of letters.

    Coming from a Science back ground Prof Raina has carved a niche in the discipline of physics and has become a name in the world of knowledge seekers who yearn for a better understanding of the subject with conceptual clarites.

    But, what is amazing is that this man of science has an equal space in his mind for Arts and literature too. Ask him a problem of science, he would begin with formuli from science and travel through literature to finish at theology. Unimaginable !!!!.

    Prof Raina possesses the marvels of stage craft. Anchoring for change of ideas , thoughts and beliefs is his biggest acumen.

    Wish him a grand future.

  • Centre moves SC seeking nod to return 67-acre land around disputed Ayodhya site to original owners_

    Centre moves SC seeking nod to return 67-acre land around disputed Ayodhya site to original owners_

    New Delhi: The Centre Tuesday moved the Supreme Court seeking its permission to return the 67-acre acquired land around the disputed Ram Janambhoomi Babri Masjid site to original owners.*

    _In a fresh plea, the Centre said it had acquired 67 acres of land around the 2.77 acre disputed Ram Janambhoomi-Babri Masjid site._

    The plea has said that the Ram Janambhoomi Nyas (a trust to promote construction of Ram Temple) had sought return of excess land acquired in 1991 to original owners.

    Earlier, the apex court had ordered that the status quo be maintained with regard to the acquired 67 acre of land around the disputed site.

    The central government in 1991 had acquired 67 acre land around the disputed site.

    Fourteen appeals have been filed in the apex court against the 2010 Allahabad High Court judgement, delivered in four civil suits, that the 2.77-acre land be partitioned equally among three parties — the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla.

    The Supreme Court had on Sunday cancelled the hearing scheduled for Tuesday in the title dispute case due to non-availability of Justice S A Bobde, one of the five judges of the Constitution bench.
