Teacher's union will do a big movement for old pension in UK Uttarakhand latest news update 2023
Latest Updated 09/072023: The State Teachers Association will soon start a big agitation for the demand of implementation of old pension for teachers and employees. There will be direct talks with the government on seven major issues including teachers' pending promotions, seniority dispute, travel leave facility for years.
Sangh's newly appointed state president Ram Singh Chauhan presented the future strategy of the union on Saturday. Talking to 'Hindustan', Chouhan said that teachers have been battling many basic problems for years. Due to minor mistakes, the promotions of thousands of teachers are hanging in the balance. Due to the closure of the system of counseling in transfers, teachers do not get justice. Dual system of travel leave is in force. Teachers in higher education are given travel leave while teachers in school education have been deprived of this facility.
Chouhan said that thousands of teachers selected under the recruitment process before 2005 were excluded from the purview of the old pension scheme. Neither the department is looking towards these problems and only assurances are being received from the government. The issue of seniority of adjusted teachers has also been entangled for a long time. Chouhan said that all these issues will be decisively placed before both the department and the government. Newly appointed State General Secretary of the Union Ramesh Chandra Panuli said that there are more than 20 demands on which a decision has to be taken.
