Sub: - Request to reconsider the permission to attend seminars-reg
Ref: - Your letter No.Acad/-106/2008-09/234 of 19th February 2009

Sir,

With reference to the above I am to submit that, the circular was discussed in the office bearers meeting of MANUUTA held on 24-02-2009 and it was decided to submit the following;

1. The invitation for the seminars/workshops to present the papers are sent from the organizers, most of the time, in the last hours, just before the seminar due to postal/ administrative delays. Hence attendee himself is not informed of the programme well in advance, to say before six weeks.
2. Papers are not written well in advance without knowing the topic and themes of the seminars. Papers are written after the receipt of invitation.
3. Submission of papers six weeks before is not possible due to the problem of intellectual property rights/copy rights.
4. Six weeks in advance condition will lead to sycophancy and nepotism and adversely affect the academic culture of the university.
5. All faculty members should get similar and equal treatment in the grant of permission and funds to attend the seminars within the country and abroad.

Hence considering these aspects of the problem, you are requested to revise the circular making 10 days prior information and request for permission to attend the seminar/workshop.

Awaiting for your reply.

With best regards,

Dr. Abdul Quayum
General Secretary
