## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (Dr. SATYA PAL SINGH)

- (a)  to (c): The Central Universities being autonomous bodies  created under Acts of Parliament, are competent to make appointments on various posts including teaching posts and the Government has no role in this regard. Occurring and filling up of vacancies in Central Universities (CUs) is a continuous process. Out of total number of 17092 sanctioned teaching posts in 40 CUs including Central  University  of  Tamil  Nadu,  as  on  1.4.2018,  5606  teaching  posts  are  lying  vacant.  The University wise details of sanctioned, filled up and vacant teaching posts are annexed.
- (d)  :  Vacancies  at  various  levels  occur  due  to  retirements,  resignations,  deaths,  deputations, expansion and opening of new institutions etc. The responsibility to fill up the vacant teaching posts lies  with  the  Universities.  Ministry  of  Human  Resource  Development  (MHRD)  and  UGC continuously monitor the filling up of the vacancies in CUs.   This issue is discussed regularly in meetings with Vice Chancellors chaired by Minister of Human Resource Development and also in the Conference of Vice-Chancellors held under the chairmanship of Hon'ble President of India.  The various steps taken by MHRD and UGC in this regard include:

.

- (i) Five  Visitor's  nominees  have  been  provided  to  all  CUs  for  Selection  Committees  of teachers in order to expedite the recruitment process,
- (ii) It is clearly mentioned in UGC (Minimum Qualifications for Appointment of Teachers and other Academic Staff in Universities and Colleges and Measures for the Maintenance of Standards in Higher Education) Regulations, 2010 that all the sanctioned / approved posts in the university system shall be filled up on an urgent basis.
- (iii) UGC has framed the guidelines for empanelment of Adjunct-Faculty in Universities and Colleges.  These  guidelines  enable  higher  educational  institutions  to  access  the  eminent teachers  and  researchers  who  have  completed  their  formal  association  with  University  / College,  to  participate  in  teaching,  to  collaborate  and  to  stimulate  research  activities  for quality research at M.Phil and Ph. D. levels, and to play mentoring and inspirational role.
- (iv) Further,  UGC  initiated  a  scheme  called  Operation  Faculty  Recharge  for  augmenting  the research  and  teaching  resources  of  universities  to  tackle  the  shortage  of  faculty  in university system.
- (v) In order to meet the situation arising out of shortage of teachers in universities and other teaching institutions and the consequent vacant positions therein, the age of superannuation for  teachers  in  Central  Educational  Institutions  has  already  been  enhanced  to  65  years w.e.f.  23.3.2007.
- (vi) Besides,  subject  to  availability  of  vacant  positions  and  fitness,  teachers  can  also  be  reemployed on contract appointment beyond the age of 65 years and upto the age of 70 years.

(e): The appointment of the teaching position is being done by the concerned Central University and not by MHRD/UGC. The Central University of Tamil Nadu has intimated that one Professor and two Associate Professors of the University had worked abroad prior to joining in Central University of Tamil Nadu.
