WB College Service Commission restores age relaxation benefit to PTTs

Following the successful movement of our association on 10th Sept, '15, the State Govt has directed the WB College Service Commission to restore the age relaxation benefit to all approved PTTs & CWTTs based on their experience, which they had withdrawn lately. This is indeed a great victory for our PTT movement. Thus, it has been further proved that the success of a movement does not always depend on quantity, but on its quality. Teachers across the state are requested to take note of this fact, that unique & qualitatively enriched movements led by experienced teachers, are sure to bear fruit.

The success of our Movement on 10th Sept

Part time teachers of colleges & universities marched in protest of the attitude of exploitation of the state Govt towards it, from College Square to Raja Subodh Mullick Squire on 10th Sept, '15. Led by Mrs Elora Biswas, the procession & its subsequent unique line of protest on the way, & also as it reached Wellington Squire, attracted the attention of the media, police personnel, administrative personalities, & onlookers alike. Teachers in an attempt at mock worship of the Education Minister, burned photocopies of their education certificates, amidst chanting of hymns & satirical melodies. Later, representatives led by Mrs Elora Biswas, escorted by Kolkata Police, went to Nabanna & submitted their deputation at CM's office.

Meeting at Barasat Press Club on 6th Sept

A meeting of all part time teachers of the state have been scheduled at Barasat Press Club (2nd Floor) on 6th Sept, '15 (Near Barasat Champadali More), at 2.30pm, to discuss various issues pertaining to the movement of PTTs on 10th Sept & the HE minister's threat to terminate the service of all part time teachers.
