APJ Abdul Kalam Vice -President Kalam Technological University K. Sivaprasad turned to the High Court in Kerala and was looking for a directive to resolve the “administrative heel” at the university.
In his application, he sought a directive on the Ministry of Finance and Minister, Higher Education and Director of Technical Education to attend the 66th meeting of the Syndicate 13th August.
He claimed that there were nine members of the Syndicate. According to the records, three members abstained all meetings of syndicates, resulting in distraction of her meetings, due to lack of quorum. The petitioner stated that they had refrained the meeting of the Syndicate for political reasons.
In addition, employees have not been paid for wages in the last month because the university’s budget was not handed over due to the “unspoiled” government. Similarly, the pension has not been paid to pensioners in the last two months. Despite the fact that the university had funds.
Due to the absence of legal sanctions, the university authorities were not able to pay a salary and pension.
A meeting of Syndicates on Wednesday was essential because the delay in handing over the annual budget shifted the university to a desperate financial crisis.
The budget, if approved at a syndicate meeting, would also have to be presented before the implementation of the University Governor Council.
