Chandigarh: Panjab University awaits Centre’s nod for OBC reservation in recruitments
It has been almost a year since Panjab University sent a proposal for 27% reservation for the other backward class in faculty recruitments, but the Centre is yet to take action in this direction. Panjab University V-C Renu Vig said the proposal has been pending with the Union ministry of education. Officials say the 27% OBC reservation was implemented nationwide over three decades ago, but it was not implemented in PU as the university was sceptical over which policy to implement — the Punjab policy or the central one. Meanwhile, an OBC Reservation Implementation Forum comprising faculty members and research scholars staged a protest outside the V-C’s office on Monday, seeking cancellation of the ongoing recruitment till the OBC reservation policy is implemented.
