Imphal, Jan 23:
State Government inability to fulfill the demand of the Federation of Government College Teachers’ Associations (FEGOCTA) has prompted to resume its agitation from January 28.
In a statement the FEGOCTA appealed once again to issue the Orders of 7 th UGC Pay and Regulations, 2018. The government college teachers are ready to resume the agitations from 28th January, 2021 onwards, if no Order is issued by January 27. The Higher Education Department has failed to implement the decision of Cabinet headed by the Chief Minister even after five months. It is a serious issue and matter of shame that the national policy of UGC is still not implemented in Manipur. The UGC policy is not only of pay revision but prescribes qualifications for recruitment, for promotion and activities of teachers in the colleges and universities. It is clear neglect of national policy of UGC approved by the Union Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi three years ago. The Government College teachers are really in a state of shock, demoralization and feel discriminated. 7th Pay for the college teachers in other states of India and for other government employees of Manipur had been implemented long ago. The college teachers are even deprived of complete salary for many years by denying the allowances of SCA and TA. These have never happened in the history of Manipur and in other parts of India. These are not the signs of good governance and good quality of higher education. General Secretary, FEGOCTA
