ALLAHABAD: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has approved as many as 80 non-teaching (technical) posts for Allahabad University under OBC grant. Approval of these posts follows the request of AU authorities where it had submitted a proposal to the UGC asking for large number of non-teaching posts needed in view of additional workload following the implementation of OBC reservation after which AU had increased 54 % of student intake.
Of these 80 posts, 76 are new posts while four others have been approved against vacant positions. It is pertinent to mention that UGC, in June 2008, had approved a total amount of Rs 232 crore for AU, of which an amount of Rs 52 crore was allocated for financial year 200-09. For implementing the OBC reservation, AU was asked to enhance the number of students intake by 54%, which was to be implemented in three phases. UGC, apart from sanctioning an amount of Rs 232 crore, had also sanctioned 270 teaching positions, advertisement for the same has recently been issued by the varsity authorities.
