Surat: In a one-day token protest on Monday, 14 teachers of Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (VNSGU) will sit on dharna from morning at the entrance of the university demanding regularization of their appointment.
Even after three years of their recruitment, these teachers are yet to get regularized and their probation period has been extended three times owing to alleged political infighting.
After the university authorities failed to give them a satisfactory reply on their demands, the teachers resorted to the protest.
The teachers were recruited in 2017 and as per norms, after one year of probation the process to regularize them as employees should have started. As per university rules, after two years of recruitment an employee automatically becomes a regular employee if there are no complaints against him or her. In the case of these 14 teachers, the university ordered an inquiry following complaints of irregularity.
“The recruitment was done after completing all processes. But we were victimized due to political infighting between those in power at time of recruitment and those who were in following years,” said an aggrieved teacher.
