They marched to the home of Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to raise their concerns, on Monday. The conflict stems from 12 Delhi University colleges, which are fully funded by the Delhi government. But the funds have not been coming in as promised lately. According to the <keyword id="165568" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Delhi-University-Teachers-Association">Delhi University Teachers Association</keyword> (DUTA), the problem goes beyond just the payment of salaries — it’s about control. The latest stone on the mountain of controversy The Delhi University Teachers Association (DUTA) announced an action plan, which included a university-wide shut down, against the delay in release of grands on March 11. Within a day, the Delhi government released ₹82.79 crore under salary heads and ₹9.5 crore as the fourth quarter installment. However, this was not enough to appease the frustrated faculty. According to them, they <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/duta-protest-arvind-kejriwal-7230004/">should not have to beg</a> for their salaries using threats and other means. The release of funds does not solve the sphere of problems that the colleges now have with the government. The protestors who marched towards Kejriwal’s home weren’t able to reach the gates, but did hand over a memorandum addressed to him at the barricades where they were stopped. The Delhi government’s move to divest While these 12 colleges — which includes Maharaja Agrasen College, Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies, and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College — get their funding from the Delhi government, they are still governed by the rules of the University Grants Commission (UGC). And, the Delhi government is asking these colleges to adopt the ‘Pattern of Assistance’. The document refers to these colleges as ‘affiliated’ to Delhi University even though they are constituent colleges. “The change in manner of referencing clearly strengthens the apprehension that the Delhi government, earlier tasked with maintaining these educational institutions, is now redefining itself as the sponsor of edu-business units to find ways of disaffiliating them from Delhi University,” said the <a href="http://www.duta-du.info/2021/03/duta-letter-to-vc-reg-12-colleges-100.html">letter from DUTA</a> to the Delhi University Vice Chancellor. <div type="image" title="delhi university VC_edited" msid="81529871" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Delhi University Vice Chancellor PC Joshi&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> According to DUTA, the ‘Draconian’ document is designed to redefine the association of the colleges in question. The organisation asserts that the Delhi government is trying to divest its funding responsibilities, but coercing colleges to gradually become self-sufficient.

Their concern is that the most-sold vaccine globally may be causing blood clots in some patients. India is looking into the matter as well but has no immediate plans to ban the vaccine since no incidents of blood clotting have been reported locally yet. Moreover, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the clotting of blood has only been reported in people who received the vaccine from two batches of doses produced in Europe, not India. <div type="image" title="Copy of kalyan rev(2)" msid="81528187" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Orders of vaccine doses placed globally&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> What is the controversy? Denmark was the first country to suspend the use of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine after reports of patients with blood clotting increase. Ireland was next, followed by Norway where three health workers who had recently received the vaccine were admitted to the hospital for bleeding, blood clots and low platelet count. So far, there have been <a href="https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/astrazeneca-vaccine-safe/106164/">30 reports</a> of blood clots across five million doses of the vaccine. What do the experts say? The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) assert that there is no link between the two. However, they are still reviewing the data as it comes in to verify whether or not blood clotting is a result of the vaccine. “This does not necessarily mean that these events are linked to vaccination. But, it’s routine practice to investigate them — it shows that the surveillance system works and that effective controls are in place,” said the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Director-General <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/health/news/astrazeneca-vaccine-is-still-on-whos-radar/articleshow/81524168.cms">Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus</a> during a press briefing on March 15. Where does India stand? India, where the AstraZeneca vaccine is being manufactured by the Serum Institute of India (SII), is also conducting its own in-depth review to look into the possibility of blood clots. The Indian version of the vaccine, called Covishield, has not just been used locally but been sent to other countries as well. The government has either gifted or exported millions of doses of SII’s vaccine to around 70 countries since January. “We are looking at all the adverse events, particularly serious adverse events like deaths and hospitalisation. We will come back if we find anything of concern,” NK Arora, a member of India’s national task force on COVID-19, told <a href="https://www.arabnews.com/node/1824731/world">AFP</a>. India has doled at least <a href="https://www.mygov.in/covid-19/">32 million shots</a> as of 8:00am on March 16. Most of these doses — the other candidate being Biotech’s <keyword id="9485939" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="covaxin">Covaxin</keyword> — consist of AstraZeneca doses produced at SII, the world’s largest manufacturer of vaccines.

AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine controversy explained — from suspension in Europe to India’s stance

<ul><li>India's new labour codes, which include a revised definition of wages, are supposed to kick in starting April 1.</li><li>The new definition is expected to shrink your cash-in-hand salary at the end of the month but boost long term benefits like gratuity and leave encashment.</li><li>Indian companies are hoping that the implementation of these rules will get delayed as businesses are still reeling from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.</li></ul>Indian companies are hoping that the government will delay the rollout of the country’s new labour codes or at least provide some clarity ahead of the April 1 deadline. If that doesn’t happen, it could mean a sharp cut in the cash-in-hand salary that you get to take home once the new financial year kicks off. “Ideal would be if the rules get notified and everybody gets a little bit of a breather. The new legislation applies and only kicks in let us say after x,y, z days. That would be ideal but that's wishful thinking at this point,” said Shambhavi Solanki, vice president of corporate human resources (HR) at Policy Bazaar during The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE) webinar on March 18. Timing is a concern for most companies. Businesses are still reeling from the impact of COVID-19 and the pandemic is not yet over. “It’s going to be a crazy implementation and I have huge questions. And, I am worried, I am anxious, to be honest,” said Sagar Daryani, the co-founder and chief executive of Wow! Momos. The National Association of Software and Service Companies’ (NASSCOM) Ashish Aggarwal believes that the rules are most likely to kick in May or June, as per his discussions with the government and the industry. “Overall, the labour codes are quite welcome. But, as with any new law, there are these initial stages where there is a lot of uncertainty,” he said. India’s new definition of wages The issue at the heart of the matter is the Indian government’s new definition of wages. It includes all remuneration, whether by way of salaries, allowance or otherwise. Exclusions — like house rent allowance (HRA), provident fund (PF) contribution and others — still exist but can’t be more than 50% of your basic salary. This means that even though companies have not been explicitly asked to redefine their compensation structure for employees, they may not have a choice but to take a second look. According to Vishal Grover, a senior consultant at professional services firm Aon Hewitt, companies in India are currently considering three options: <ul><li>A large part of the salary gets technically defined as basic pay, and the balance moves to exclusions.</li><li>They don’t change anything. They keep the structure as it is. But use the new definition of wages for all social security programmes.</li><li>A sort of a middle ground, where the basic is close to 50% and the balance of 50% is made up of exclusions.</li></ul>

keywordseo="take-home-salary">Take home salary</keyword> most likely to take a hit under the new definition of wages Under the cost to company (CTC) model, companies are likely to increase the share of salary that goes towards your PF. And, it will be at the expense of other allowances leading to lower take-home salary. Depending on the ratio between basic pay and gross pay, the reduction in cash-in-hand salary to take home would range from 3% to 8% if PF contributions are increased, according to Grover. This means that even if you get a wage hike in 2021, it's unlikely that there will be any major increase in the amount of money that actually gets deposited into your bank account.
