Gujarat University professors’ body rejects govt resolution on Sixth Pay Commission

The Gujarat State Federation of University and College Teacher Association has demanded to reject the state government’s Sixth Pay Commission Government Resolution (GR) on Thursday. More than 50 office bearers of nine universities across the state have decided to conduct two campaigns on October 13 and October 14 to show their discontent towards the GR.

Speaking to Newsline, GFUCTA secretary Prof K S Shastri said: “On October 13, all the universities will organise bonfire of GR and later we will be conducting signature campaign, where the signatures will be done by blood of university teaching staff. We demand immediate withdrawl of GR with lock stock and barrel.”

He added, “This campaign will be carried out across nine universities of Gujarat and it will be called Raktakshar.”

Furthermore, every head of the department has been asked to write about their grievances about the Sixth Pay Commission and its recommendations.

Continuing their protest against the state government’s decision on Sixth Pay Commission given to university teachers, Baroda University Teachers Association (BUTA) submitted a representation to Governor S C Jamir.

With only two days left for Diwali vacation, BUTA had demanded immediate lifting of GR. One of the BUTA official said, “Sixth Pay Commission is not implemented in accordance with the recommendations made by UGC-appointed Chhadha Commission.” BUTA President Prof I I Pandya said: “UGC has clearly specified if Chhadha Commission is not accepted, it might lead to annulling of funds given to the universities for several projects. The state government has failed to respect Chhadha Commission, which was formed in consensus with three main bodies, --- Parliament, UGC and Ministry of Human Resource and Development.”
