The news in Anandabazar Patrika & our subsequent movement for Rights

Our friends & associates all over West Bengal are requested to note that the news published in Anandabazar Patrika(Page 10) on 10th March,12, declaring the Higher Education Committee's recommendation that the part-time teachers, the contractual teachers & guest lecturers be brought under the same category, may be seen as the victory of the Movements of our association on 30th January & 24th February, this current year. Only a few days back, a news published in Anandabazar Patrika had declared the Govt's decision to reduce part time teachers to Group C & Group D category staff in colleges, which was only a means of humiliating & insulting thousands of teachers of the State, who had rendered unquestionable service to the Govt. over a long period of time. Due to our movement, the Govt has finally decided to bring all the categories of teachers under the same roof. To sustain this wave of revolutionary movement, that has finally led the State Govt to think about our situation, all part time, guest & contractual teachers across the State are requested to assemble at Gariahat More, Kolkata, at 11 am, on 11th March,'12(Sunday). The rally will therefrom proceed towards the Chief Minister's residence.
