A nominal & partial increase of Remuneration

The State Govt has declared a nominal & partial increase of remuneration for a section of part time teachers of the state, which may be said to be far from being satisfactory. It is certainly not what the part time teachers have been demanding for a long period of time. Under the present circumstances all the part time teachers are requested to join hands, unitedly to fight for our primary demand for pay scale for all existing part time teachers. Once the demand for our pay scale is adhered to, we would achieve everything, we had been fighting for, till date.

Enhancement of Remuneration for all part time lecturers

Reliable sources have reported that the remuneration of existing part time lecturers of the State, is going to be enhanced shortly by a Govt. Order to that effect. Our members across the State are requested to keep close track of all forthcoming events & developments, to this effect.

State Level Meeting at Barasat

A State Level Meeting of the Association has been scheduled at Barasat Press Club on 25th May,'13(Saturday) at 11 am. Members across the State are requested to attend the meeting.

State Level Meeting at Barasat a big success

Members from various colleges assembled at Barasat Press Club, near Champadali More on 27th April, to decide future course of action. Members presented valuable suggestions, followed by an elaborate & encouraging address by Elora Biswas, who enlivened the situation by making others believe in the need for a struggle for our further prospects.The meeting turned out to be a big success, with the firm assurance from Elora Biswas that in staying & moving together unitedly, we can definitely make the govt think in positive terms about us.

Monthly Remuneration for all PTTs from 01.04.2013 onwards

In a historic & benevolent move, the State Govt as a result of constant discussion at various levels with Elora Biswas, during the past few months, with State Govt's higher officials, has finally issued a GO on 10th April,'13 declaring that from 01.04.13 onwards all existing PTTs will receive monthly remuneration quite like full time teachers of colleges. This is indeed a big feather in the cap of our association. The movement will now continue for our equal rights, at par with full time teachers, like pay scale, five days' work & other benefits. We will have to struggle till our ultimate goal is achieved. This is quite a big victory for our association but let us pledge not to stop here but proceed even further until we are receive our honour & privileges like the full time teachers.(Link given below)
