## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) to (d) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 226 FOR 14.03.2016  ASKED BY SHRI DHARMENDRA YADAV AND DR. RAMESH POKHRIYAL "NISHANK" HON'BLE MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT REGARDING SHORTAGE OF FACULTY

(a) & (b): At present, out of 41 Central Universities (CUs) under the purview of Ministry of Human Resource Development  (MHRD),  39  Central  Universities  have  regular  Vice  Chancellors  (VC).  Of  the  remaining  2  Central Universities, VC of Assam University has resigned on 13.11.2015 and VC of Visva Bharati has been dismissed on 16.2.2016.

(c) & (d): No, Madam. Central Universities are adopting different methods/process to address faculty shortages in order to ensure that studies of students are not affected.  These include hiring ad-hoc faculty, appointing temporary faculty, engaging services of retired teachers and engaging visiting faculty etc.

The incidence and filling up of vacancies in CUs is an ongoing and continuous process.  Vacancies at various levels are caused by dynamic processes attributable, inter-alia, to retirements, resignations, deaths, deputations, expansions and  opening  up  of  new  institutions,  such  data  of  occurrence  of    vacancy  of  each  post,  category/post-wise  and University-wise,  is not centrally maintained. However, consolidated details of sanctioned and vacant teaching posts, university-wise and post-wise,   in 40 Central Universities under University Grants Commission (UGC) and in Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), as on 31.12.2015, are at Annexure-I and Annexure-II respectively.

The vacant posts of teachers are related to all categories and faculty shortage is due to establishment of new Centrally Funded  Educational  Institutions  (CFEIs),  increase  in  student's  intake  on  account  of  OBC  reservation  policy,  nonavailability of qualified candidates and Immobility of the senior level faculty members.

The onus of filling up the teaching posts lies on Central Universities which are autonomous bodies created under the Acts  of  Parliament.  MHRD  and  UGC  have  written  many  times  to  the  CUs  to  fill  up  the  vacancies  and  also continuously monitor it  with  them.  Filling  up  of  teaching  positions  has  been  discussed  in  the  Conference  of  ViceChancellors  of  the  Central  Universities  held  on  4th  -  5 th February,  2015  and  Visitor's  Conference  on  4 th -6 th November, 2015 which were chaired by the Hon'ble President. In the Vice Chancellors' Conference and Visitor's Conference, the Vice Chancellors were exhorted to fill up the vacant position of teachers in a time bound manner. Further, it was also discussed in a meeting with Vice Chancellors of Central Universities on 18 th February, 2016.  With the  appointment  of  regular  Vice  Chancellors  and  providing  of  Visitor's  nominees  to  all  Central  Universities  for Selection Committees for teachers, the process of filling up of vacant teaching posts has gathered momentum.

Besides above, the following steps have also been taken to fill up the vacancies:

- (i) There  is  no  ban  on  filling  up  of  vacant  teaching  posts.  UGC  Regulations  on  Minimum  Qualifications  for Appointment  of  Teachers  and  Other  Academic  Staff  in  Universities  and  Colleges  and  Measures  for  the maintenance of standards in Higher Education 2010 envisages that all the sanctioned / approved posts in the university system shall be filled up on an urgent basis.
- (ii) In  order  to  meet  the  situation  arising  out  of  shortage  of  teachers  in  universities  and  the  consequent  vacant positions, the age of superannuation for teachers in Central Educational Institution has already been enhanced to sixty five years.
- (iii) Teachers can also be re-employed on contract appointment beyond the age of sixty five years upto the age of seventy years, subject to availability of vacant positions and fitness.
- (iv) 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) UGC also  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 the 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.
