Urgent Issues concerning Teachers and Higher Education                                                                    To Shri Prakash Javadekar Hon’ble Minister MHRD,                                              ShastriBhawan New Delhi-110001                                                      27November 2018 Sub: Urgent Issues concerning Teachers and Higher Education Dear Shri Javadekar, The teachers of Delhi University have gathered today to protest against the inaction on a host of issues that should have been repeatedly taken up.It is extremely unfortunate that despite promises to address these issues, there is no movement whatsoever towards resolution of any of these. We once again bring to your notice the following with the hope that this time you will not fail the teachers of the country. 1. The demand for the notification for implementation of revised allowances and pensions, consequent to the VII Pay Revision, and disbursal of the required funds f

Teachers protest against Government’s silence and inaction                                                                    Teachers of Delhi University gathered at Parliament Street today under the banner of DUTA to protest against the complete lack of apathy of the MHRD towards the issues concerning teachers not only of DU but affecting universities across the country. The DUTA has been repeatedly raising these issues through representations to the UGC and MHRD but it has fell on deaf ears. Teachers are particularly exercised over the failure of the MHRD to implement revised allowances and pensions, consequent to the VII Pay Revision, and disbursal of the required funds for its implementation. The appointment process is at a halt and the regularisation of thousands of ad-hoc teachers is dependent on the withdrawal of the 5 March 2018 UGC letter asking for implementation of department/subject wise reservation roster and the subsequent freeze on appointments.

DUTA slams University Administration for inaction on pending issues of teachers                                                                    Teachers participated wholeheartedly in a Dharna at the Arts Faculty Gate to draw attention to the host of pending issues that remain unresolved at the university level due to the gross negligence and inaction by the University Administration. This unprecedented situation in Delhi University whereby no solution seems to be sight for the thousands of teachers who are working under extremely precarious conditions of employment, promotions are pending for long years, the issue of the counting of past service remains unresolved, pensioners are facing a dire situation is completely unacceptable. The insensitive attitude of the University Administration towards the plight of all sections of teachers is condemnable. Teachers are determined to make the authorities see sense that this is only leading to widespread demoralization amongst tea

P. Singh , The Chairman, University Grants Commission, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, New Delhi - 110001 Sub:    Payment of Revised Honorarium to Guest Teachers in Universities and Colleges Dear Prof D.P. Singh, As you are aware, every year universities and colleges hire guest lecturers for short durations to cover the workload that does not justify appointment of full time teachers and/or for teaching in specialised subject areas. Many professional courses depend on teaching in this mode. At present, the remuneration for a guest lecturer is Rs. 1000 per lecture (as per the 6th Pay Revision) with a maximum limit of Rs.25,000/- per month from a University . W
