The tragic death of a part-time teacher

The association is struck with grief at the tragic & untimely demise of Prof. Agnibina Deb, a part-time lecturer at Sammilani Mahavidyalaya, Garia, Kolkata, who committed suicide for not getting her salary from the govt for nearly a year.It is a shame for the entire elite & educated section of our enlightened society. This incident once more blatantly exposes the inhuman exploitation of part-time lecturers of the colleges of West Bengal by the State Govt.Thousands of lecturers across Bengal suffer like Prof. Deb every hour, but they are forced to stand & fight their perilous situations at their workplace everyday. Our association pays homage to our deceased friend & deeply sympathizes with her family members.
