March to acquire Rights on 19th August, '13

All part time teacher of the State are requested to assemble at Raja Subodh Mullick Square (Wellington Square/Crossing) Kolkata on 19th August, 2013, at 10 am, to march for acquiring our rights, in a procession towards Writers Building, Kolkata to submit a deputation to the Hon'ble Chief Minister. It is a march to make it clear to the State Govt that the part time teachers, of the State claim all rights of a full time college teacher, because they skillfully serve the Govt & their respective colleges in every possible way, performing  admission, invigilation, & even election duties & all other administrative jobs in many colleges quite like any full time teacher. In some cases the earnest services rendered by part time teachers in many colleges are simply no match to that rendered by many full time teachers, enjoying wide financial benefits. Govt orders regarding part time teachers are not executed in time & colleges move in perpetual sloth regarding sending monthly remuneration bills for part time teachers, as declared by the govt only a few days back. Teachers are paid once in a year in present times of utter financial crisis. The motto of the higher education authorities seem to be: MAKE PART TIME TEACHERS WORK HARDER, PAYING THEM LESS. In protest of such age old injustice & exploitation we appeal to all sections of people to support the lawful cause of these hapless teachers, & walk hand in hand along with us on the 19th of August, in our march towards acquiring our rights as full time teachers. Keeping in mind the services of the part time teachers in sustaining the Higher Education infrastructure of the State, their unflinching dedication towards their students, alongside with their deprivations by the Govt, people from everyday walks of life are requested to join hands with us on the 19th of this month, raise their voices of protest against such inhuman attitude,to make the govt feel how society cries for justice.
