It has been a long standing demand of our association that the much humiliating & derogatory term "Part time Lecturer" should be thoroughly abolished, replacing it with a respectable designation like "Essential Professor". Unfortunately the Govt has turned a deaf ear to this meagre appeal of those teachers, who bear the maximum load in sustaining & nurturing the Higher Education Infrastructure of the State. It is shameful affair that in a civilized society teachers are discriminated against, both by their students & their full time colleagues, on grounds of their derogatory designation.
