Imphal, January 20 2023:
Non-faculty contract staff of NIT Manipur organised a sit-in demonstration within the institute's complex on Friday demanding regularisation of their service.
Interacting with the media on the sidelines, NIT Manipur Contractual Non-Faculty Employees' Welfare Association vice-president Sagolsem Surjit said that they have been discharging duty as contract employees for a long period.
Even though their posts were sanctioned in 2014, they are still serving on contractual basis, he said.
Further stating the Association had submitted memorandums to chief minister N Biren and union minister of state for education Dr RK Ranjan, Surjit lamented that the government has not done anything to fulfil their demands.
As such he cautioned that the 62 non-faculty contract employees in the institute will continue their protest until their service is regularised.
