UGC is very poor and lazy in updating their web site. I wonder why are they
maintaining it because most of the information on it is outdated and of no
use. might be to please some foreign students and boost about their
mainstream programs they are having it. As I browsed it for the relevant
information, I saw 10th plan guidelines. even today when the 12th plan is
shortly going to start, they display 10th plan guidelines. they are lagging
10 years behind . in that guidelines, its written as 12 thousand per annum.
So, please update with the latest information if available from any other
sources.
yes, we have to confirm ourselves regarding points 1, 3 and 4.
if the statement made in item 1 is true, it is very ridiculous on the part
of UGC. it remembers me of an incident in Mahabharatha where some hundred
brothers of Shakuni were given the food that was sufficient for a single
person in a prison. certainly we have to fight it.
the second item is very genuine and it shows gross violation of right to
equality just because of the fact whether the person is working in a
recognized institute or not.
can you please elaborate on the significance of point 3?
I completely support item 4 not only because I would be a beneficiary, but
also it is the fact that we cannot get the reader for 1500 rupees per month,
leave about the other items mentioned in that circular. but we have to
develop some points to substantiate our argument along with figures.
one more thing to be added I think, UGC has no plans for providing assistive
technology to visually impaired like jaws and others. while it is pouring
crores of rupees on some aspects which are not contributing in a true sense
in various universities and projects, it is surprising to see that no
provision for spending some thousand rupees for this minority of deprived
individuals who are really contributing in their institutes.
I fully support this move.

Hello Mr. Krishnan,
Do you have any UGC circular to support your 1st, 3rd and 4th arguements?
I heard that financial assistance to the visually impaired college
teachers was enhanced from Rs. 18000 to 36000 from July 2011 onwards.
Hence it would be better if you could submit the requisition after
verifying the facts with the original circulars of UGC. However,
Financial asistance shall be granted to all the Visually impaired
College teachers working under the administrative control of the
State/Central Government. In other words, financial assistance should
not be linked with sections 2F and 12B of UGC Act.
All the best,

friends,
we visually challenged college teachers of kerala intended to give a
representation to U.G.C. with regard to financial assistance to college
teachers.we would like to get opinions on this matter by all college
teachers and you all have to forward this email to u.g.c
here i am pasting the matter.. With Regard to
Financial Assistance to Visually Handicapped College Teachers
Sir,
This is to bring to your kind notice certain anomalies being noticed in
the
scheme of providing financial assistance to visually impaired college and
university teachers in order to overcome their limitation to read
standard
print.
1.. As per the present rule, the financial assistance is provided as
part
of plan fund to colleges where the teacher is working. This is a
stipulated
amount of ninety thousand rupees for the plan period of five years which
all
the visually impaired teachers working in a particular college have to
share
among themselves. So when a college contains more than one teacher, the
amount of ninety thousand rupees gets divided. I propose that there be a
new
provision that ensures the receipt of the whole stipulated amount to
every
single visually challenged teacher of a particular college.
2. As per the current provision, the financial assistance is granted not
to
the individual teacher who is handicapped by visual impairment but to the
college that comes under U.G.C.'s 12B 2F category. Because of this reason
every deserving visually impaired college teacher does not get this
financial help to take forward his/her career successfully. For in some
states like Kerala, the college teachers' profession is a transferable
post
and therefore he/she will be transferred even to state government
colleges
which come under A.I.C.T.E. and to other colleges which have not yet come
under U.G.C.'S 12B 2F category. So I request that the financial
assistance
be granted to all visually impaired college teachers taking in to account
their handicap rather than the status of the college where they are
compelled to work.
3. Starting with the eleventh plan, the amount is being provided as part
of
plan fund to the college where the visually challenged teacher or
teachers
work. Earlier, before the current plan period, the amount was offered as
part of nonplan fund to the individual teacher rather than to the
institution.
I request the earlier manner of providing the amount to the individual
teacher as part of nonplan fund be reinstated.
4. I believe that the present amount Rs.18000 per annum is quite
insufficient to meet our needs in a period like ours when hiring a
reading
assistant is no longer cheap. I request that the amount be doubled at
least.
I request that you may kindly look in to the above-mentioned limitations
of
this scheme and make necessary qualitative changes when this scheme is
considered for the coming five year plan.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully Krishnan m. Moothimoola.
