Recent Developments

Members of our association from nearly all the districts of West Bengal assembled for an emergency meeting in a convocation Hall at Moulali, Kolkata, on the 8th of July, 2010, to discuss in details about the various proposals to be placed in front of the State Government, on the face of its assurance that it is thinking seriously about solving our problems very soon. All  our members unanimously agreed that that no dishonourable clause in the ensuing G.O would be accepted. Members discussed in details about the various problems they were facing in their respective colleges and pleaded to the association for help.
Govt Colleges like Lady Brabourne, Hoogly Mohosin, or Krishnanagar Govt. & many others have already terminated the services of their part-time lecturers on 31st March, 2010. The Principals of these colleges rigidly stick to their points that on the face of an absence of a Govt.Order directing them to reinstate their part time teachers, they can't do anything about it. Some said that without such a G.O pertaining strictly to the Govt Colleges, (as issued on 29th June, for Govt-aided Colleges) they are not even ready to give ears, to the appeal of the terminated teachers.We hope to reach to a positive solution in this regard very soon. In the meanwhile we have come to know about the unsympathetic stand of WEBCUTA regarding our cause. The association is also greatly concerned about condition of the Guest & Contrctual lecturers in the State. The State Govt is trying to solve this problem soon, but any decision will have to be taken in consultation with our association. No one-sided & unjustified imposition of the Govt decision will be accepted. The HE Minister has given us an appointment again on the 19th July, 2010 at Bikash Bhavan. All the members of our association are requested to present themselves at the venue by 12 Noon without fail.
