A parliamentary panel has observed “discrepancies” in the reservation roster of the Delhi University and “deliberate” denial of appointment to SC and ST candidates in various teaching posts.
It sought the government to fix responsibility of those involved and take action against them. Taking note of the complaints of “gross injustice” being meted out to members of reserved categories also in appointment of non-teaching posts at Delhi University, the panel sought for a fact-finding committee and submit an action taken report with it in three months.
Out of a total strength of 264 posts of professors in Delhi University as on April 2015, only three have been filled up with SC candidates. Not a single professor appointed to the post belongs to the SC, the committee, headed by BJP MP and former Union minister Faggan Singh Kulaste, noted in its report. While only seven candidates belonging to SC have been appointed as assistant professor in Delhi colleges out of a total strength of 271 posts for all categories, the number of those appointed under the reserved category of ST is just one.
