Information to Substitute Teachers/Lecturers working in Colleges in

India

I (a UGC-NET qualified faculty in Commerce subject) have been working as

a substitute Teacher/lecturer in an FIP Vacancy in a Govt. College affiliated
to University of Kerala in Trivandrum, Kerala and have been drawing the
prescribed salary since my date of appointment (16/10/2009) upto March,
2010. When I asked my salary of April 2009, the clerk told me that I will
receive it along with my salary in May on the first week of June. When I
asked it on 01/06/2010, he told me that I will get my salary of two months
(i.e., April and May) when the UGC fund is received and the salary of June
onwards will be given regularly. Therefore, I searched the rules regarding
payment of salary to a substitute Teacher/lecturer in net and I got the
following information. Moreover, I decided to ask this matter in University
of Kerala and the Directorate of Collegiate Education in Trivandrum, Kerala
State under the provisions of the Right to Information Act, 2005. The rules
which I got from net and the format of seeking information under RIT, 2005
(which I - myself prepared) are given below for the information of other
faculties working like me in colleges in India. If this information is useful
for you and if you know any other information in this regard please inform
me in order to update this page. My email ID is jrcsha@gmail.com
Thanking you all readers…………..Your friend……..Jenipher Carlos
