TGPLA roots for 50% reservation for private lectures
Telangana Private Lecturers Association (TGPLA) leaders demanded that the State government reserve 50 per cent quota for the private lecturers under Gurukul teacher appointments.
​Hanamkonda: Telangana Private Lecturers Association (TGPLA) leaders demanded that the State government reserve 50 per cent quota for the private lecturers under Gurukul teacher appointments.
A meeting with office bearers of the association was held in Hanamkonda on Tuesday. The association State president P Srinivas Goud, north Telangana secretary G Sathish Kumar, Warangal district in-charge K Srinivas and Vice-President Ch Shankar and others attended the meeting.
Addressing the gathering, Srinivas Goud urged the government to focus on the issues being faced by private lecturers and take necessary steps to address them. There are nearly 94,000 private lecturers serving in 1,664 junior colleges, 986 degree colleges and 287 engineering colleges in the State.
The lecturers were in the forefront during the separate Telangana movement and after formation of Telangana they were striving to popularise the welfare programmes of the TRS government. But so far they have not received any assistance from the government in terms of solving their problems, he said.
The lecturers have been facing difficulty in receiving wages. The government should direct all private college managements to pay the salaries by fifth of every month through banks. Similarly, efforts should be made to extend ESI and EPF benefits to private lecturers, he demanded.
The association leader wanted the government to involve the lecturers in implementing the free KG to PG education programme and to ensure a minimum salary of Rs 30, 000 per month. Double bed rooms should be allocated to private lecturers, he added.
With an objective to highlight the issues and put pressure on the government, a conference of private lecturers would be conducted on March 26 in Warangal. All the private lecturers should attend the meeting in large numbers and make it a success, he urged.
The Dy.CM K Srihari, Assembly Speaker S Madhusudhana Chary, MLA D Vinay Bhasker and Telangana Civil Supplies Corporation Chairman P Sudharshan Reddy were invited to attend the conference, Srinivas Goud said. The association leaders P Someshwar, A Srinath, K Mahender Reddy, E Devender, B Srinivas, T Venkat, K Sathish, Iloni Sathish and others were present at the meeting.
