DU threatens to evict disabled teacher

NEW DELHI: Delhi University's move to evict one of its teachers suffering from 90% disability, due to childhood polio, has come under severe criticism. While teachers have condemned the administration for "attempting to forcibly evict a colleague suffering from orthopaedic disability," Sambhavana, an NGO working on persons with disability, termed this a disturbing development.

G N Saibaba, an assistant professor of English in Ram Lal Anand College has been bound to a wheelchair due to polio. According to DUTA, Saibaba had been temporarily accommodated at the Warden's Residence in Gwyer Hall (a PG hostel in DU) in April 2008, with the promise of a permanent accommodation in the future. But the university failed to deliver.

The teachers' body alleged the current administration had begun eviction proceedings and that notices served to Saibaba have asked him to vacate his premises within two weeks."Terming this as violation of the Person with Disabilities Act of 1995, DUTA is demanding that till an alternate accommodation is not provided, Saibaba should not be forcefully removed from his present place of stay.

However, DU officials say there is no policy of providing accommodation to college teachers, including those with disabilities.

According to deputy dean (PH category), Bipin Tiwari, "G N Saibaba was given the accommodation when he was pursuing his PhD and teaching till the time he completed his PhD. His stay had been extended so far, but now since the warden needs to be accommodated, the university can't extend his stay."
