Dear Friends, 12.05.12
GREETINGS & CONGRATULATIONS
The AIFUCTO, representing more than five lakh teachers, has now completed fifty years of glorious existence. The united movement of teachers in the higher education sector has proved many a times the vibrancy of the AIFUCTO. Let us take a pledge at this historical moment that we shall strengthen our .organisation.
I am proud to inform you that a number of affiliates have taken up programs to celebrate the occasion in a befitting manner.
I have been in constant touch with the MHRD and UGC in connection with our demands
The focal points of the discussions have been:
a. The payment of arrears by the Central Government.
b. Removal of anomalies in the UGC Regulations including scrapping the unrealistic point system for CAS.
c. Extension of the dates of RC/OC up to 2014.
d. The Ph. D. Regulation be prospective and not retrospective.
We understand that there has been some headway in respect of our demands.
In the meantime I have received communications from HRD and Finance Ministries that the matter of payment of arrears is under consideration of the Govt. of India.
I have informed the ministries that the NEC has decided to launch a HUNGER STRIKE Program in Delhi and state capitals if the problem is not resolved.
Please take all preparations to make the HUNGER SRIKE program most effective. All affiliates will have to send select members for the program. The dates will be informed soon.
Please prepare a record of the teachers (along with their address and phone numbers) of those who need the extension of RC/OC date. Also ensure that all of them fulfill the requirement as early as possible.
All Zonal Secretaries of AIFUCTO are requested to collect the information regarding the teachers and send the same to the General Secretary as early as possible.
Wish you all the best.
Asok Barman
