Varsity teachers meet UGC pay panel

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Under the banner of the Federation of Central Universities Teachers’Associations (FEDCUTA), representatives of teachers’ organisations of Delhi University, Jamia Millia Islamia, Jawaharlal Nehru University and Aligarh Muslim University met the Pay Review Committee of the University Grants Commission this past Friday to demand early submission of its recommendations on pay revision of teachers.

The FEDCUTA delegation pointed out that higher education could face a “serious crisis” if working and service conditions were not created to attract and retain talent in the teaching profession.

“The Central Government has planned a quantum expansion in higher education by introducing quota for the Other Backward Classes and deciding to open 16 new Central universities, 14 world class universities, eight new Indian Institutes of Technology. However, the exercise on faculty planning is missing,” said Aditya Narayan Misra, president of FEDCUTA and Delhi University Teachers’ Association.
