Jahangirnagar Univer-sity passed Tk 84.35 crore budget for 2011-12 fiscal year at its 30th annual senate meeting at the senate hall of the university in Dhaka on Tuesday.
JU Treasurer M Nasiruddin presented the proposed budget at the senate session chaired by vice-chancellor Shariff Enamul Kabir.
Earlier, JU authorities sent a proposal to the University Grants Commission to allocate Tk 110.63 crore, but the UGC approved only Tk 84.35 crore, the university sources said.
About Tk 38.16 crore was allocated for remuneration and pension for the teachers, officers and employees and only Tk 1.55 crore was allotted for educational equipment, research and students' fellowship purposes.
The treasurer said inadequate allocation from the UGC and university's subsidy to the transport sector would make serious the budget deficit.
Besides, Jahangirnagar University Teachers' Association strongly protested the proposed direct income tax on them.
