TNN
Ludhiana: In a setback for the Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), the Punjab State Commission for Scheduled Castes issued an order on Wednesday, asking the state government not to release grants and funds to the varsity until it implements the state’s reservation policy.
Punjab State Commission for Scheduled Castes chairperson Tajinder Kaur said, “Dalveer Kumar and others of PAU SC / BC Employees’ Welfare Association had complained that the Punjab Agricultural University had not implemented the state government’s reservation policy since its inception. After the complaint, the commission had sought an action-taken report from the PAU and in an affidavit filed by PAU registrar RS Sidhu, it was said that PAU neither comes under Punjab state SC/BC reservation policy, 2006, nor clause 1.1.1. of the UGC Act.”

Tajinder Kaur added that the reservation policy should be implemented in the organisations, which receive grants, funds from the Punjab and the Central governments. Therefore, until the PAU implements the reservation policy executed by the state government, funds and grants should not be released to it, she said.
