Response from Dr. K D Prasad

Majority of us have contributed with our maximum input (including the pink of our youth and the best creative and productive years ) to build up and consolidate the biggest academic and support Division in the country by being in RSD.I am sure no one can dispute this important fact. As per one of the circulars from ACD, we the academics of the University are governed by the same Recruitment Rules, Career Advancement Scheme and Service Conditions, as that of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and Professor.This very fact has already been okayed in the past by the designated statutory bodies of university.Now, it is beyond our comprehension to find the reasons for delay in its implementation.If the letters from a very small section from our colleagues to MHRD is in the way ; we have to understand that in a democratic country like ours we would never get cent percent agreement to on any important issues.Moreover,today IGNOU(as an university) is known by the academic efforts made by the academics of RSD in the remote parts of the country.These efforts include all such works which facilitates the teaching learning activities of our learners.

We have already seen the fallout in the past.Let's resort to the democratic rights to resolve the rightful,bonafide long pending demands.

Regards

Dr. K. D. Prasad
