Non-teaching varsity employees oppose management system

Rohtak, January 18

Hundreds of non-teaching employees of government universities assembled at Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU) here today to resist the government directive about uploading of information about all university employees on the Human Resource Management System (HRMS) portal by January 31.

They threatened to launch a statewide agitation if the directive about uploading the information was not withdrawn. “We will not upload our information on the HRMS portal as it is an effort to attack the autonomy of universities. The government will misuse the information by transferring employees and creating monetary issues,” said Randhir Kataria, MDU Non-Teachers’ Association president.

He said the government could establish a separate portal for every university to upload information about non-teaching employees. The employees also raised other demands like regular membership of president and secretary of non-teaching employees’ association in executive council and finance council, cashless medical facility on the pattern of state government employees and regularisation of service of those working on contract. — TNS
