The footage was taken BEFORE the discussions with the minister. I was sick of the jostling by the members of the delegation who were trying to get seats next to the minister so they could appear on TV etc. I was happy with the discussions that took place subsequently.iitmsriramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16063826764366606345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-5716567673219188932009-10-04T21:44:26.825+05:302009-10-04T21:44:26.825+05:30iitmsriram,

Prof. entry scale<br />and Assistant Prof. scale in IIX can get rectified if there is no notification on that..probably by reducing or eliminating the contract period for selected candidates...because that is a huge<br />jump in salary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-39743997312765407522009-10-04T18:59:32.047+05:302009-10-04T18:59:32.047+05:30I agree with iitmsriram that it was a reasonable s...I agree with iitmsriram that it was a reasonable settlement. I do not think the notification took away the flexibility but I am glad that the minister explicitly stated so.Giri@iischttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11819278945207995261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-6281604722854164162009-10-04T18:07:09.990+05:302009-10-04T18:07:09.990+05:30Let me reproduce what I have posted elsewhere.

People may feel that the agitations and the faculty federations have accomplished nothing. But I believe Thenmozhi correctly states that we were happy with the discussions. It is not only the faculty associations that needed an escape route, the ministry too! I believe what has been worked out is a reasonable settlement; we have got some of the things we wanted but not some others. There may not be any new notifications, but just wait and see how the notifications are implemented.<br /><br />iitmsriram<br /><br />ps: if you caught the "we were happy" phrase, yes, I was there.iitmsriramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16063826764366606345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-12425234508543231502009-10-04T08:42:09.503+05:302009-10-04T08:42:09.503+05:30Prof. Giri, thanks for bringing out the sarcasm in...Prof. Giri, thanks for bringing out the sarcasm in Prof. Abi's post. However, there may be some sense in calling this a "major victory."<br /><br />It's true that the IITs always had the flexibility in terms of recruitment and promotions. However, the new notification took away that flexibility. It has now been restored, and that, I believe, is the victory that Prof. Abi was talking about? Not that something new was achieved, but that at least the old system was put back in place. Things could have been worse without this "major victory."<br /><br />-- NPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-33156028938586419922009-10-03T19:37:25.530+05:302009-10-03T19:37:25.530+05:30Aha!
