Proposal : Change Of Use For Expenses Fund

Dear Friends,

A suggestion has come up from some Ludhiana petitioners. Please reply in comments section of this post in 5 days with your views. With no objections, proposal will be adopted.

The suggestion is as follows

• Use of expense fund be changed from "only court related travels" to "all travels undertaken for the benifit of cause of computer guest faculty"
• Transfer of fund from Mr.Harmaneet Singhs account to Ms.Maninder's account from Govt. College For Women, Ludhiana for purpose of fund management.

I invite all contributors of this fund to raise any objections or air views to this effect.

• It is best to post objections/views as comments under this post. So that everyone should read it openly.
• Views may also be sent to computerguestfaculty@gmail.com.

As a member myself, i have thought on the matter and came up with some points that I leave for your consideration

1. Who will take final decision about withdrawal of amount from account?
2. If I decide to take a travel initiative towards the common cause who will decide if spending is justifiable or not?
3. What is amount is right? Can I get AC train expense? or Bus only? Or Taxi?
4. Whats maximum number of travelers that our ComputerGuestFaculty can fund? If supposing 12 people decide to go from a college, thinking of "common good", then how many shall be paid?
5. Expense account is small. Nothing in comparison to high cost of today. It will not last very long. What/How will me manage after that?
6. I have no reason to choose either Mr.Harmaneet Singh or Ms.Maninder, one over the other. If change should be made , it has to be for reason.

As helping points towards discussion of  this proposal, you all can refer to a letter already posted on blog dated : MARCH 16, 2011, Title : Dear All 28 Petitioners

Letters from DPI 2005-06

An important document from DPI site has been added to side panel of important documents.
These letters are also available on DPI Colleges, Punjab website. I am providing a copy here only because the DPI link may or may not work sometimes.

The letter is of interest to every guest faculty (computers and others as well) who fear for security of their jobs. As is clear from the content of letters, the ruling of Honourable High Court is in our favour. Also, DPI's words are important where they say "ਇਨ ਬਿਨ ਪਾਲਣਾ ਕੀਤੀ ਜਾਵੇ" . Salient points are

•  Once guest faculty is employed, the same person should be re-employed as and when required according to the ruling of the Honourable High Court and also instructions of DPI.
• You are bound to work for 40 hours (Rs.175/hour X 40 hours = Rs. 7000.)  only. Any extra work you do is obligatory and not required by law.
•  Scheme of work is to be given by college to guest faculty in advance.

Any college threatening to terminate the services of guest faculty on session basis is going against the instructions and is not only a fit case of contempt of court but contempt of DPI also.
