Good News
about faculties
are rare these days, and
every achievement of it should be
cherished and recorded.. hence
we came with our 11th issue…I
can do anything as long as I have
the passion, the drive, the focus,
and of course with your support.
Today the major issue in faculties
of self-financing institutions, are
no compensation; they are much
cheaper than any other profes-
sionals. The article, you read here
is all ours…, and Campus connect
sections continuously proves..
“the roots of true achievement lie
in the team and attitude of facul-
ties…” and becoming more color
full month after month. The pur-
pose of a vacation is to have the
time to rest. But many of our fac-
ulties, even when they have vaca-
tion, they have called for admis-
sion duties…many of them may
even come back more tired than
before they left. The 2018-19 aca-
demic year stands before us, like
a chapter in a book, waiting to be
written. We can help write that
story by setting goals.

Noble profession but No-bills paid yet…”
Mother of all profession…..
Behind every Doctor, Engineer, Nuclear
Physicist, Mathematician, Scientist,
Zoologist, Entomologist, Botanist,
Economist, Entrepreneur, Lawyer,
Political Scientist, Psychologist,
Musician, Architect, Astrologer,
Astronomer there is a Teacher
and I am one…It is a Nobel Pro-
fession…but for many of us, No-
bills could be paid on time.…
Pay (without) Scale
There Pay hardly have any scale, and
there is no fair increment for teachers in
self-financing colleges or for those in gov-
ernment and aided colleges handling self-
financing courses, so the attrition of teach-
ers in self-financing colleges has risen to
the level of 30 to 40 per cent in institutions
that usually pay the teachers in the range
of Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 15,000 per month. It is
a harsh reality that the most important
and respectable teaching profession which
deserve high salaries might be compen-
sated with low salaries. A teacher is sure
to be working sincerely and selflessly for
the good of the students, there is only
little monetary reward guaranteed.
Hiring and Firing
Many faculties mistakenly believe
that appointment is a guar-
antee of a job for life.
The simple truth is
that appointment
order only means
that a faculty gains
permanent employ-
ment status after suc-
cessfully completing a
probationary period but
no one knows how long is
the probationary period in a self
financing institution, there are faculties
who been fired by autocratic administra-
tors for speaking up, questioning educa-
tional practices, or merely of internal poli-
tics.
Recruitment processes
Today’s faculty recruitment norms made
our teachers from a knowledge accumula-
tor to a gatherer of pieces of paper such as:
Degrees, Certificates, Journal papers, letter
heads showing experience, etc. As usual,
this summer, almost every other arts and
science college have given advertisements
for faculty requirement, and the inter-
views are the competition won by those
who are accepting the least salary over
those who are qualified the most.
“It is not that the
self-financing
colleges cannot
pay decent salary
for the teachers,
but, they are not
prepared to
compromise on
the return on
investment”
Institutions should realize “Providing an opportunity to
a deserved teacher is the best form of social service, as it
serves the Institutions, Students, country, and our world
- the entire society”. It’s unfair to see institutions spend
lavishly for advertisement and marketing while they fix
the salaries of their teachers very low, but the most pa-
thetic scenario is, a 10th passed security or a school
dropout canteen helper in the same premises at times
earn as equal as or more than an M.Sc, M.Phil.
Institutional Dynamics
It is not that the self-financing colleges cannot pay de-
cent salary for the teachers, but, they are not prepared to
compromise on the return on investment. Today, only
few self-financing colleges pay incentives such as cash
bonuses, salary increases, or additional salary to reward
excellent teaching, which makes them free to eat what-
ever, wherever, however, because of their professional
pressure, they are not free to eat whenever…but still,
majority of self-financing colleges have bad HR prac-
tices. A salary does not make a Teacher rich, but only
gives them the opportunity to take care of their basic
needs. It is not a means of becoming wealthy. It is a
means of Survival. The static salaries force many men
faculties to move out in search for other alternatives and
female faculties force to sacrifice their teaching dream
for their personal and family commitments.
Responsibilities
We've often heard people say, "If I can't become any-
thing else, I'll become a teacher." Many think that teach-
ing is the simplest and the easiest job. But here are few
other duties other than class room teachings which
are: Admission Duty, Attendance record, Result
Analysis, Official work, Administrative work,
Social work, Aptitude tests, Group discus-
sions, Entrepreneurship cell, Revaluation,
Practical exams, Newsletters, IQAC, IIPC,
Placements, College Magazine, R & D cell,
NSS activities, NBA, NAAC, Autonomous,
UGC/AICTE, University Affiliation work, Intra
college events, Seminars, Presentations, Confer-
ences, Symposium, On Duty, Class committee,
Workshops, FDP, Exam duty, Govt exam duty, Floor
duty, Admission Round duty, Assignments, Term work,
Invigilation, Paper Checking, Paper setting, Counseling,
Remedial classes, Industrial visits, Planners, Discipline,
Website, Hospitality, Exhibitions, Student Clubs, Pam-
phlet design, Banner design, Guest lectures, Annual
sports, College day, etc.. With extracurricular activities,
institutions make their faculties for overtime.
Finally….
Beyond all these difficulties.. our happiness continues
when we see our students Growing, Succeeding and
boldly facing the World and its Challenges. It doesn't
matter how they look at us, It doesn't matter How much
more they Earn than we do. It doesn't matter that they
drive while we walk. On Salary days I do think about
those no-bills paid, somehow postponing my basic
needs, but by the next day I love to come with a Smile to
those that I Teach..... Because I am a Teacher....
“A salary does
not make a
Teacher rich,
but only gives
them the
opportunity to
take care of
their basic
needs”

This book provides an excellent platform and fundamental understanding on how
circuits interact within the system. The book insist on the fundamental concepts of
Digital Logic as, it is only the hardware that provides the platform for software
applications. I like this book very much because it has versatile features which
will help the students to understand in depth on the subject. The arrangement of
topics maintains our level of interest throughout the book. Unique picture repre-
sentations are used to explain the content. It is more user friendly from the begin-
ning until the end of the book. Topics such as Test yourself, Just B4 Exams, Further
Reading which was given at the end of each chapter are student centered. The practi-
cal programs along with the description and neat diagram will help the students to
understand lab exercises. It also consists of university QP’s which will help the stu-
dents to prepare for their exams with exam point of view.
