JAMMU: Previous PDP-BJP Government’s significant order sanctioning 14 new degree colleges in Jammu Kashmir and making them functional from the current session is likely to be kept in abeyance by the Governor’s administration as no concurrence was claimed to be sought from the Finance and Planning Departments before Cabinet approval for establishment of these institutions of higher learning.
Highly placed authoritative sources told the Excelsior that a decision in this regard has been taken and a formal order to keep in abeyance earlier orders of the Higher Education Department on sanctioning permanent establishment of 14 new Government Degree Colleges in Jammu Kashmir, is likely to be issued in next few days.
Decision in this regard has been taken in view of a number of queries raised by the State Finance Department in respect of sanctioning of these colleges and the staff to be engaged for making them operational from the session 2018-19, sources added.
