DUTA holds protest to demand absorption of Delhi University ad-hoc teachers
Thousand of teachers staged a protest to demand absorption of ad-hoc or temporary teachers through one-time regulation, the DUTA claimed. The Delhi University Teachers' Association (DUTA) said the march was taken out from the SGTB Khalsa College to VC Office, Chhatra Marg via Miranda House among other places.
The march was conducted after the Annual General Body meeting (GBM) during which DUTA President AK Bhagi spoke to the members about the first year of his tenure. DUTA President also informed the gathering about the demands raised with the DU administration, Ministry of Education and the University Grants Commission (UGC) regarding 25 per cent EWS expansion seats and fund crisis in 12 colleges of DU fully funded by the Delhi Government.
"After the DUTA GBM, thousands of teachers participated in the march. Protesting teachers raised slogans for the absorption of ad-hoc/temporary teachers through one-time regulation," its statement read. They also raised slogans against the Delhi government for the fund cut and irregular grants to 12 DU colleges fully funded by it.
