The Maharashtra Federation of University and College Teachers' Organisation (MFUCTO) staged a statewide protest on Tuesday for various demands. Secretary of Nagpur University Teachers' Association ( NUTA) Anil Dhage led the protest in the city.
Around 70 teachers participated in the protest, which was stopped by the police near Hislop College. A delegation of these teachers met Nagpur University registrar Mahesh Yenkie and handed over a representation with their demands, since vice chancellor Vilas Sapkal was out of station.Yenkie has assured them the demands that were in the university's control will be taken care of, but the other demands, including that of implementing sixth-pay salary system, was in the hands of the state government.
MFUCTO has demanded that NET/SET qualified lecturers should be given benefit of sixth pay from the date of joining or date of selection, and they should get benefit of Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) as directed by UGC. They also insisted on immediate release of arrears to teachers since implementation of sixth pay revision, removal of discrimination in payment of arrears in colleges of social work and physical education, and implementation of the 'package scheme' as forwarded by union HRD ministry among others.
The members would continue their protests every Monday at the same location. The agitation will culminate in a state-level protest at Azad Maidan in Mumbai on March 1.
