University teachers call on Sonia

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: A delegation of the Federation of Central Universities Teachers’ Associations (FEDCUTA) met the United Progressive Alliance chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Thursday and conveyed its “anguish over the existing working and service conditions of teachers”. The delegation expressed concern over “tardy” functioning of the Pay Review Committee appointed by the University Grants Commission to make recommendations for attracting and retaining talent in higher education.

The delegation met Mr. Arjun Singh also on Thursday.

“We urged Mrs. Gandhi and Mr. Singh for their urgent intervention so that the UGC takes an early decision on providing better facilities to faculty for academic advancement and research, ensuring an attractive initial higher pay at the entry level for lecturers,” said Aditya Narayan Misra, FEDCUTA president.
