## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SMT. SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

- (a) : At present, there are 41 Central Universities under the administrative control of this Ministry and their details are at annexure - I .
- (b):  The  total  number  of  sanctioned  teaching  posts  in  various  Central  Universities  is 16,600  (2371  Professor,  4708  Associate  Professor,  9521  Assistant  Professor).  The details are given at annexure II.
- (c)  &    (d)  :  Occurring  of  vacancies and filling them up is a continuous process. MHRD and UGC continuously monitor it with Universities.  However,  the  onus of filling  up  the teaching posts lies on Central Universities which are autonomous bodies created under Acts of Parliament.

This  issue  has  been  discussed  in  the  Conference  of  Vice-Chancellors  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.
