Prakash Javadekar, HRD Minister assured that around 9,000 ad-hoc teaching posts in Delhi University will be regularised within one year and clarified that the central government does not have any policy with respect to part-time employment.
He indicated that the government is planning to make ad-hoc posts permanent. There will be no discrimination between Assistant Professors and temporary teachers and all the ad-hoc teachers will be paid the same salary at par with Assistant Professors.
Addressing the Question Hour of Lok Sabha, Javadekar assured that after one year, no ad-hoc post will be temporary, and will only be permanent. On the other hand, the government is taking steps to fill up all the vacancies and is continuously monitoring the teacher recruitment process for the same reason.

Earlier, Prakash Javadekar termed shortage of teachers in central universities as a serious problem and agreed that it has become difficult to mitigate the problem. He expressed that most of the students are not willing to opt for teaching as a career resulting in the decrease in the number of teachers. The only way to mitigate the shortage of teachers is to encourage more graduates to take up teaching as the profession, he added.
