DTU Vice-Chancellor faces protests

These are tough times for Delhi Technological University (DTU) Vice-Chancellor Prof PB Sharma. This time the teaching faculty and students have come up with a memorandum of demands, which have been unfulfilled since 2009 and allegations against the Vice-Chancellor (V-C) as being the hand behind the mess. A copy of the demand letter (Annexure A) submitted by the students is with MiD DAY.

The students are protesting against state university status being accorded to DTU (previously DCE) which was earlier a constituent college of Delhi University. The teaching faculty claims that their arrears and salary provisions as recruited by UPSC have not been revised until now since the conversion in 2009.

The Other Side
However, Prof P B Sharma denies all the allegations. "They are telling lies. It was only yesterday (March 23) that the last instalment grant has come. The teachers have received their arrears and their salaries have been revised. I don't understand the students protest against the conversion of DCE. None of this is true. It is surprising that they go to the media, but don't come to us," said Sharma.
