Students in one of the City Center

Teachers will strike under the banner of Maharashtra State Junior College Teachers’ Association and Vidarbha Junior College Teachers’ Association (VJUCTA). 76 paper checkers out of 81 of English paper and nine out 12 paper checkers of Hindi paper are supporting this agitation. And other subject teachers are expected to join the agitation in coming days.
VJUCTA General Secretary Ashok Gawankar said, “This time, we will not discontinue the agitation till our demands are fulfilled. We do not want to disturb the students with such actions but Government has left us with no option.”
It is noted that the teachers’ demands include implementation of January 1, 1996 fifth Pay Commission, secondary education rules for primary education, conduction of Science paper of Std XII separately, and restart of old CET examination.
Ashok Gawankar, Prof Yugal Rayulu and others are leading the agitation.
