Dear Friends,

 

We have created this Forum “RightFullyTeachers” for all of us to express and share our views on the crucial issue of parity and to keep everyone posted with the latest developments. We look forward to your active participation.

 

You are aware of the recent developments and the divided opinion on this issue. We have not spoken in one voice all these years. It’s time we did. For if we don’t, chances are that we shall not have a voice tomorrow

 

You might have come to know that the MHRD, in its recent communication, has asked the University not to implement the Ordinance on parity of service conditions, due to ‘larger financial and policy implications’. The implications have not been elaborated. The matter was taken up in the BOM meeting held a few days back. The Board has authorized the Vice Chancellor to take up the matter with MHRD.

 

Even if we agree that the University is making efforts (something we have been hearing for a long time), we can not forget that ultimately we are the sufferers. Should we sit and wait (as we have been doing all these years), hoping and praying that something positive will come out? What if nothing comes out? 

 

Friends, it’s time to rise, speak and act. Parity is our natural right. Let’s move forward and claim it. Let us not wait and hope that someday someone will gift it to us.

Let's chalk out a concrete action plan

This has been the most serious issue, affecting the lives, sentiments, career, everything of the people working in the regions. We are constantly being fed merely on the assurances. It is said that be it good times or bad times, it will not remain the same always, but in our case it seems that only the bad times prevails. Colleagues are retiring and stagnating at one place.

What fault we have committed to join this Division or this University? The Schools launch any programme (without bothering if it would attract any buyer?) and then expect us to bring buyer for them. But why no one is coming forward to save our career also?

In the history of (Indian) education, this is a classic case of justice not only delayed but denied also.

Are we being provided with a signal (red).

Then lets use this Red Signal, as we can return what we are being given.
