At present in the universities where dance and music are taught at MA
and Ph.D level, for the post of Readers and Professors the rules have
been so framed, that traditional teachers are unable to meet them. With
the result, if the lecturer has not acquired Ph. D, he cannot be
promoted to the post of a reader and a professor. Also those who have
received practical training in dance and have also cleared NET
examination, but have not obtained Ph. D cannot be appointed to the post
of a reader and a professor. An example of this conflict is seen at
Hyderabad University in dance department, where Ramalinga Sastri is not
being promoted as a Professor though his qualifications are above board.
But he remains a reader on account of these rules. I think it is
important that rules should be so framed which give enough space and
scope for traditional teachers to get the posts of readers and
professors. Today these posts have remained vacant in some universities.
