Once again the debate regarding education and religion has intensified in the politics of Jammu and Kashmir. PDP President and former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has seriously accused the present government of discriminating against educational institutions on the basis of religion. He said that Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University (BGSBU) is being continuously and deliberately cut funds. Due to which the university is suffering serious losses.

Baba Ghulam Shah University, located in Rajouri district of Pir Panjal region, was established by the J&K government as a state university in 2002. It was registered by the University Grants Commission and more than 2500 students study in its different faculties. But Mehbooba Mufti warned that the institution was being systematically neglected and pushed towards managed decline. He said that due to systematic reduction in funds given by the UT administration in the last five years, its existence is under serious threat.

There is a worrying decline in the funding of BGSBU – Mehbooba Mufti

Mehbooba Mufti said that the one who was considered a light of higher education in Pir Panjal and a bringer of social and economic change, is now being abandoned institutionally. Official data on capital infusion into BGSBU shows that there has been an alarming decline in funding over the last few years.

The funding was Rs 562.50 lakh in 2019-20, which increased to Rs 848.43 lakh in 2020-21 and Rs 703.88 lakh in 2021-22. Then it dropped sharply to Rs 422.98 lakh in 2022-23, to Rs 183.11 lakh in 2023-24 and to a shockingly low Rs 44.00 lakh in 2024-25. He said the nominal increase of Rs 187.00 lakh in 2025-26 is too little to repair the damage caused by years of underfunding.

University infrastructure is becoming hollow due to lack of funds – Mehbooba Mufti

Mehbooba Mufti alleged that these figures show a shocking pattern of neglect. Capital infusion which had crossed Rs 700-800 lakh during 2020-22. It has been reduced to only Rs 44 lakh in 2024-25. This is not budget wise. This is a deliberate abandonment of the institutional.

Mehbooba Mufti reminded that BGSBU was established by former Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed to uplift the historically marginalized and strategically important sector through access to good quality higher education. He said that repeated cuts in funds are continuously hollowing out the academic capacity, research ecosystem and infrastructure of the university. Weakening institutions by ignoring them is as harmful as closing them.

BGSBU was established to uplift a backward area – Mehbooba Mufti

The PDP Chief appealed to the Jammu and Kashmir Government to immediately accept this persistent shortcoming and reverse this trend in the coming budget and warned that continued neglect could cause irreparable damage to one of the most important institutions of Pir Panjal. Mehbooba Mufti said in a post on X that BGSBU was established to uplift a backward area. Depriving it of funds is a betrayal of that vision and should be corrected immediately.

Instead of peace of mind after retirement, hundreds of employees in Jammu and Kashmir are facing waiting and uncertainty. Many government employees who retired in the last two years have not yet received their gratuity and General Provident Fund (GPF) amount. Which has been disclosed by the government itself in response to a legislative question.

In a written reply to Starred Assembly Question No. 651 asked by MLA Rameshwar Singh, the J&K government has confirmed that hundreds of employees have retired in the last two years and their gratuity, GPF and other claims are still pending payment. The total outstanding liability for outstanding gratuity and GPF claims as on January 31, 2026 is Rs 1,635 crore and Rs 3,471 crore, respectively. The total is more than Rs 5,106 crore.

Bills related to Gratuity and GPF are being cleared from time to time – Government

The government said that bills related to gratuity and GPF are being cleared from time to time as per the availability of resources. But no specific time limit was given to clear the entire backlog. When asked when the outstanding liabilities would be cleared, officials replied that the clearance of bills related to gratuity and GPF of employees depends on the overall liquidity position of the government.

Retired employees depend on gratuity and GPF for survival

The revelations also highlight the financial constraints faced by the Union Territory Administration and the hardship experienced by retired employees, who are dependent on these statutory benefits for their post-retirement living. Gratuity and GPF payments are legally mandated benefits meant to provide financial security to government employees retiring after decades of public service.

The government’s acceptance that clearance depends on liquidity. Raises serious concerns about J&K’s financial health and its ability to meet its basic legal obligations towards its former employees.
