UGC Policy is the issue of the nation, not just for FEGOCTA

Imphal, March 06 2021: For FEGOCTA the most painful thing is the separation from the students and not taking classes.

The teachers enjoy teaching, not agitations.

The loss to the higher education and the students who will be facing semester examinations in April 2021 is strongly felt by FEGOCTA.

But the concerned authorities seem to be focusing on blame games and delay tactics.

The clear example is the Order of February 25 and press statement which were contradictory to one another.

The same Order deviates from the Cabinet decision of August 6, 2020 .

Such approach has caused more hurt and strong sentimental reactions by the teachers.

All the government colleges are completely paralysed due to cease work agitations by the teachers.

However the root cause of such tragic situation is due to the failure of the Government to implement national policy of UGC since 2017 .

Despite three written assurances to FEGOCTA in 2019 and three Cabinet approvals since November, 2019, there is no implementation of UGC policy.

7th pay has been already implemented for the college teachers in other states of India as early as 2018 and other employees of Manipur in 2019 .

However FEGOCTA, the apex body of government college teachers in Manipur is hopeful of immediate solution through the intervention by the Chief Minister.

FEGOCTA's firm decision is only acceptable Orders as per Cabinet decision of August 6, 2020 of the 7th UGC Pay on the lines of ROP, 2019 with payment of arrears from April, 2019 and adoption of UGC Regulations, 2018 .

Cease work and sit in protests continue in all the Government colleges including DM College of Arts, Manipur College, Churachandpur College, United College, DM College of Science, GP Women's College, Moirang College, NG College etc .
