NEW DELHI: Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has, for the first time, not paid its teachers the monthly salary. This was revealed on Monday as the teachers released a report on the five-year term of vice-chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar.
Kumar’s term was to end on January 26, but he has been given an extension by the Union education ministry till the appointment of his successor. Teachers alleged that after the extension, Kumar had changed the rules for appointing members of the search committee for the new VC to delay the process.

The online lecture was organised by the varsity’s Department of Geography and Disaster Management (DGDM) in memory of late Professor Husain, who headed the Department (then Department of Geography and Regional Management) from 1981 to 1987.
