February, 2001

Dear Sir/Madam,

This has reference to UGC's earlier correspondence / letters regarding appointment of substitute teacher under Faculty Development Programme (Teachers Fellowship) during IXth Plan Period.

In this connection, I am to say that the substitute teacher against the vacancy of teacher fellow, may be made from the candidates, who fulfil the qualifications prescribed by the UGC as per UGC Regulations - 2000. The college should first appoint the qualified teachers only, as per the guidelines of the Faculty Development Programme (Teacher Fellowship), and the teacher fellow should be allowed to join the research place thereafter. In case the qualified substitute teachers are not available within a period of one year, teacher fellowship should be withdrawn.

The above decision will be applicable on teacher fellow(s) to whom the approval / award letter(s) are yet to be issued. The teacher fellowship may not be withdrawn for those teachers fellows who have already joined the research place.

You are requested to comply with the above decision and also circulate the above decision to all the colleges under jurisdiction for immediate compliance.

Yours faithfully,

(Dr. (Mrs.) Pankaj Mittal)
Deputy Secretary
