Monthly meeting of All J&K Plus Two Lecturers’ Forum was held through virtual mode under the chairmanship of its president Deepak Sharma wherein the forum demanded creation of Deputation/ Reserve Posts in School Education Department and discussed other burning issues pertaining to Plus Two community threadbare.
Deepak Sharma said that there is a great disparity between In-position strength and Sanctioned posts as considerable number of Joint Directors and equivalents, CEOs and equivalents, Principals and Lecturers have been deputed to JKBOSE, Samagra Shiksha and other offices on different assignments without actual creation of posts thereby leading to a loss of considerable period of sevice rendered in incharge capacity at the time of regularisation and demanded creation of 10 to 25 percent Deputation/Reserve posts in School Education Department on the analogy of other departments of UT of J&K to end the discrimination.
Deepak Sharma informed the house that Forum delegation has already apprised the Administrative Secretary BK Singh last fortnight about the hampering of smooth functioning of SED due to vacancies of Joint Directors, twenty plus vacancies of CEOs/DIET Principals, and more than 250 vacant positions of Principals of Higher Secondary Schools in J&K and sorry state of affairs about unadjustment of Joint Directors even after lapse of more than three months of their promotion order and non availability of even a single Regularised Principal for promotion as CEO and equivalent. Forum demanded Promotion lists/adjustments and Regularisation of all incharge incumbents/ retirees at all levels right from lecturer to Joint Director on fast track basis.
Referring to govt directive to all Administrative Secretaries/HoDs as sequel to Hon’ble Supreme Court judgment on automatic/ deemed vacation of interim court stay after expiry of six months, Deepak Sharma said that there should be no Administrative bottleneck/delay and demanded immediate release of regularisation of principals pending since Dec 2013 for facilitating promotion list of CEOs and equivalents and promotion list of Principals and Placement list of Senior Lecturers pending since December 2013 as per one-third cadre strength of Lecturers according to SRO 481.
Forum further hoped that practical shape will soon be given to ACP/ Time Bound Promotion which has been kept on back burner by the finance department on the pretext of economic crunch due to Corona and Induction Quota into KAS in favour of Plus Two Lecturers till the Education Administrative Service (EAS) as proposed is constituted from the academicians/Officers drawn exclusively from School Education Department , and other demands like Non vacational status to Principals/Head of Schools, restoration of 40% college quota, and Regularisation of physical education lecturers and removal of their pay anomaly , provision of earned leave in favour all teaching cadres of SED and charge allowance in respect of all placements will also be acceded to on priority.
