Dear Mr. Francis, The latest information I have on this matter is: As per the letter dated 9th May, 2005 of ministry of HRD, Deptt. of secondary and higher education to The Secretary, U.G.C in reply to letter No. F 3-1/94 (PS) - 7 dated 5th feb, 2001 regarding CAS for Assistant Librarians/College Librarians, Astt. Director of Physical Education, College DPEs and Astt. Registrars, the ministry has clearly denied to agree to a revised CAS to the above mentioned categories citing following reasons: 1. No absolute parity of these categories of personnel involved in the subject case with teachers in universities and colleges has been conceded. 2. The Rastogi committee has recommended different treatment to categories of teachers on the one hand and categories like Astt. Registrars, Librarians, physical education instructors on the other in Universities and colleges, in whose cases the committee had recommended only for the continuance of the existing CAS / existing path of carrier advancement including the continuance of existing residency period; there is no case/scope for considering benefits over and above these recommendations. If you need a copy of the aforesaid letter, please mail me your postal address. Some of the professional associations in the North India are gearing up to fight this matter for details you can contact Mr I B Verma General Secreatary, Chandigarh Librarians Association (CLA) Mobile – 0-9814721417 e-mail vermaib@yahoo.co.in With regards, Gautam Bahl Librarian T.S Central State Library, Sec 17, Chandigarh. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
