Sub: seeking raise in the upper age limit of
DSRPFHSS
Dear Sir,
This is with reference to Dr. S. Radhakrishnan Postdoctoral
Fellowship in Humanities and Social Sciences (including languages), I am
praying to UGC to raise the upper age limit immediately on the pattern of ICSSR
and ICHR for the PDF. ICSSR has 45 upper age limit and ICHR has no upper age
limit for PDF. (See Annexure-1)
UGC upper age limit debars the potential
candidates from applying for the PDF. It is in the interest of the potential
candidates, UGC and our College and University education system to raise the
upper age limit at least five years to have better candidates to discharge
their academic duties in a manner that is most required and suited.
The
UGC had fixed the upper age limit at 35 at a time when the retirement age of a
college or university teacher was much lower than what it is today. In the
light of this also the upper age limit for the PDF may be raised.
I, therefore, request
you to consider my application sympathetically and favourably. For this kind
act I shall ever be grateful to you.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
(Dr. Jawaid Rahmani)
