The state Govt. has finally conceded to our long standing demand for membership/representation of part-time teachers & contractual teachers in the teachers' council of respective colleges. This clearly implies that part-time teachers of the state from now on can take part in all the functioning of their respective colleges, including participating & contesting in college teachers' council elections, quite like any other full time teacher. This may be considered as a great victory of our long standing movement for justice for part-time & contractual teachers. In this connection, it may may be further declared, that only a couple of days back all part-time teachers of Raja Narendra Lal Khan College(Gop College)of West Midnapore have been included in the teachers' council of that college, in the presence of the college Principal, who received the new members of the teachers' council with great applause. This inclusion of part-time & contractual teachers in the college administration may be seen as a big feather in the cap of our part-time teachers' movement.
