Set up grievance redressal cells in colleges to curb student suicides: GIO

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: In view of soaring student suicides, the Girls Islamic Organisation (GIO) on Friday requested the establishment of grievance redressal cells within the campuses to curb the incidents.
A representation was submitted to the Telangana education minister Sabitha Indira Reddy by the GIO members who requested redressal cells in accordance with the guidelines of the University Grants Commission (UGC).
They also urged the minister to ensure existing cells be restructured to include elected student representatives, making them more approachable and student-friendly.
The representation suggested the expansion of the scope of redressal to include more student-related issues beyond the currently specified ones while highlighting the need for counseling units in colleges.
According to the UGC guidelines, every higher education institution in the country must establish a student’s grievances and redressal cell, as per the Student Redressal Regulation 2018, Section 4(A)(I).
These cells are tasked with investigating complaints and taking action in cases related to harassment in institutions.
While some colleges have initiated online redressal portals, the recent trend of student suicide cases has called into question the efficiency of these cells.
President of the National Federation of GIO, Sumaiya Roshan said, “The absence of a safe environment becomes a threat for students from taking advantage of these opportunities effectively.”

“The minister accepted the memorandum and confirmed an appointment to discuss the issue in detail while the GIO plans to include student representatives in the meeting to share their personal experiences,” she added.

[ad_1]
CPI (M) Leader MY Tarigami Also Raises Voice in Favour of Striking Patwaris
Waris Shah
Srinagar, Mar 7 (GNS): The Anantnag Patwar Association staged a sit-in protest at Achabal against the administration to press for an early redressal of their demands.
Talking to GNS, the Patwar Association said they have also been demanding a hike in pay scales for Patwaris, timely departmental promotion of Patwaris and Girdawars, a ban on direct recruitment of Tehsildars, construction of Patwar Khanas, creation of Patwar Halqas and Girdawar circles, timely conduct of DPCs, and an increase in their allowances.
“We are sitting here under the banner of All Jammu and Kashmir Patwari Association for the seventh consecutive day, to let the government know about our demands. We graduate patwaris have a grade pay issue which the government should consider.”
“Like other Education and Finance departments have handsome grade pay, and teachers have a grade pay of 2800, while account officers in the finance department have handsome grade pay. Similarly, we graduate Patwaris demand a genuine increase in our grade pay.”
“The other issue is that Girdawar circle and Pathwar Halqa are the same since the time of Maharaja Hari Singh. As we all are aware, so much development has been done since then we as such demand delimitation of Pathwar Halqa and Girdawar circle,” he said.
“We would also like to draw the keen interest of the administration towards the direct recruitment of Naib Tehsildars and we demand a 75:25 quota, like the one in vogue in the Union territory of Ladakh. Of the 75%, Girdawars and departmental Patwaris should be promoted to Naib Tehsildar”, he further said.

Meanwhile CPI (M) leader Mohamad Yousuf Tarigami has also urged the government to redress genuine demands of striking patwaris. “The strike of patwaris has paralysed the working in revenue department”, Tarigami said.
“The administration has been giving assurances and making promises that their genuine grievances would be redressed, but nothing seems to be happening on ground, forcing them to go on protest. The demands include increase in the grade pay of graduate patwaris, timely departmental promotion of patwaris,girdawaris, rent for Patwar Khanas (Private accommodation), construction of new Patwar Khanas, creation of new patwar halqas and Girdawar circles are all genuine demands, which the must be fulfilled without any further delay”, Tarigami in a statement issued here said.
He urged that the Government must talk to the representatives of the Association and take effective steps to settle their genuine demands. (GNS)
