Varsity salary

The higher education department will hold a meeting on September 20 with the finance officers of the universities over the introduction of Human Resource Management System (HRMS), which is a mechanism of salary disbursement. The teachers associations across the universities have protested the plan. Under the existing acts of the universities, the vice-chancellor, registrar or finance officer of a university acts as the drawing and disbursement officer (DDO). If the HRMS is introduced, an official of the higher education department will act as the DDO, the teachers said. This, the teachers said, will be an infringement on the university s autonomy.

About 400 people participated in Onam celebrations organised by the Confederation of Kolkata Malayalee Organisations at Behala s Sarat Sadan on Sunday. "Onam fell in the last week of August but many Malayalee organisations held their own celebrations on the following weekends," said K Nandakumar, general secretary of the confederation, an umbrella body of 13 Malayalee organisations in the city. Governor CV Ananda Bose was supposed to be felicitated but he could not make it to the programme. He sent a message. "We felicitated PR Hari, chairman and managing director of Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers, and GV Subramanian, director of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan," said Nandakumar
