Summary:
New Delhi: ABPV and Delhi University Students' Union members will hold a protest outside the secretariat on Tuesday against the Delhi government's directive to 12 DU colleges fully funded by it to pay outstanding salaries to staffers from the Students Society Fund. Moreover, the guidelines imply that the deficit spending is to be financed exclusively by the Government of Delhi, DUSU president Akshit Dahiya said at a press conference. He said the DU statutes also require the colleges to be run in consonance with UGC regulations. Besides, the accumulated funds to the tune of several crores of rupees would be inadequate to remunerate the teaching and non-teaching staff of these 12 colleges beyond a period of two to three months, Dahiya pointed. The city govt on Friday directed 12 DU colleges fully funded by it to pay outstanding salaries to staffers from the Students Society Fund, a move criticised by DU's teachers' body and officials of the university..
