Kakinada: The Teachers’ Association of JNTU College of Engineering, Kakinada staged a demonstration in front of the University’s Central Administrative Building here on Saturday protesting against the delay in releasing the quarterly block grants and demanded unconditional option for all employees to choose the place of postings, transfer of budgeted posts to the college and additional funds for development.
In a memorandum submitted to the registrar, association president P. Subba Rao and secretary R. Srinivasa Rao stated that the JNTU, Kakinada was given block grant only for the first quarter of this year against the norm of releasing it in four quarterly instalments.
This inordinate delay was hampering the development and maintenance of University and it might cause late payment of salaries and pensions.
